Look at this player. It's through the music store that gives him bass lessons. He'll be playing a gig or two every month. He's blowing my mind with his learning TOOL and RUSH and MUSE songs, and now he's singing backup vocals. BONUS: We built that bass together, he painted it and and stuff.

However, so I don't sound like an rear end... I've been posting videos on here of him jamming with me and his brother for 5 years. I know it's nothing outstanding. But I feel like it's a pretty cool thing to happen after just 4 years of playing And if you're a young kid on here wondering if you'll ever have the nerve to play with a performing band, don't give up. It took me a decade from when I started playing guitar until I joined a band and played onstage.

Honestly I'd be super proud, and as a 32 year old just now getting into music I am jealous of your 13 year old son. I've only gotten to play with a group a few times so far and it's a great experience. Still looking forward to getting to perform in front of an audience.

Yeah thats way cool mag7 and he's got some solid musical influences for sure. I'm a high school teacher and I don't hear much about kids forming bands these days outside of "School of Rock" type programs. I know when I was in high school (in the late 80s) there were like 5-6 bands and we'd do "battle of the bands" type things at school picnics and festivals. Nowadays it seems kids mostly want to be DJs and I don't hear about bands so much. Oh and get off my lawn.

Well this thread put a huge smile on my face I'm 28 and still haven't played a gig despite being good enough for about 12 years to pull off alot of covers. If I had a father who was as supportive and shared music in general as a passion who knows where I'd be now. My parents acted like my interest in playing music was the worst thing ever and mocked me, and tried to discourage it as much as possible. So pretty jealous of your son lol.

Constipated posted:Well this thread put a huge smile on my face They're both into music that I don't get - but we still discuss it and explore what it is that they like about it. That's how my parents did music with me as well. My dad took me to see AC/DC long ago. Bless that deaf old man.
