French hobbyist bass player.
My other hobbies include photography and role-playing games. I'm also a geek for a living.

I took lessons for a few years in a school for hobbyists. Mostly bass and singing, some drums, a little (very little) guitar and piano. Got into a lot of bands with other students, most of them ephemeral, some lasting for a few years. That was the real beginning for me, playing a lot of different stuff with a bunch of different people.

I played whatever I could, mostly pop, rock and grunge stuff (it was the 90s). Never got formal training, never really played in a band but I enjoyed it a lot.
A few years later, a friend sold me the bass he had bought about the same time I had bought my guitar. I started taking lessons a few years later when I could afford them. After two months my teacher pushed me on stage and I was hooked.

I started learning music as a kid, maybe 6 years old. Not that I was particularly interested at the time, my family was not even really into music, but that was one of the few activities for kids in my village. I learnt a bit of singing and played the saxophone for a few years but I wasn't particularly enthusiastic and I finally stopped.
Fast forward 6 years or so, I had a few musician friends in high school, got a guitar as a christmas present.

Time for an #introduction.
I am a French hobbyist #bass player who doesn't play much currently. I have left my last band two years ago and only resumed playing a few weeks ago.
I am currently trying to learn new styles and new techniques before I look for actual people to play with. Very interested in progressive metal among other things, but I'm also planning to learn at least the basics of latin styles, salsa, samba, latin jazz...
