Hello, Bob from Southern California

[rklein]

I’m a classic rock fan who grew up on 60’s and 70’s music. I took several acoustic lessons when I was a kid and five years of electric guitar lessons about 10 years ago. I became passionate about bass guitar a couple of years ago, did some online lessons, and have learned a lot on my own practicing numerous songs with bass tabs on YouTube.

I retired last year and devote a fair amount of most days to all things music. The core is JustinGuitar. I wanted to get a solid foundation and correct bad habits, so I began with Grade 1. I’m close to completing Grade 3. I purchased Justin’s Theory course which has helped fill in some of the knowledge gaps.

I look forward to meeting other members of the community!

Hi Clint,

Thank you for welcoming me to the community. Much appreciated!

I’ve been in Orange County since 1986 and never heard of Lake Balboa before. It looks like you’re between Reseda and Van Nuys.
