I had just bought my first bass guitar and quickly invited my guitar playing friend over. After arguing about which notes to tune the guitars to and a subsequent phone call to the local music store to clear the air…we mapped out our first four chords.
We did it. Four chords. The same chords. Playing together, in rhythm. Pure bliss. We were pretty good.
Thinking you’re pretty good at the beginning gives you the patience and time and curiosity to actually get pretty good. And once you’re actually pretty good, that’s when things really get good.
