Fellow musician checking in. As if the avatar wasn't obvious enough. I hold down the low end. Also play drums, guitar, piano and banjo.
To Bengal fan in Toronto: Everyone learns differently. So don't feel you HAVE to go out and get an instructor unless that is something you see as beneficial to you. I'm entirely self taught, and today with the litany of material available via the internet, self teaching books, apps like Yousician, etc it's never been easier.. Not trying to steer you away from teachers, a great teacher is worth every penny. But what I am saying is don't feel like you can't or aren't progressing because you dont have someone telling you what/how to play. If you want to learn to read music, get off your butt, get a book, and start teaching yourself.
If you have the initiative and drive, you can learn whatever you choose. The big thing is to practice practice practice practice practice....no matter what you choose to do.
