The Bass thread (funk, Paul McCartney, guitar)

[swim]

If you're a shit guitarist but are a good at arranging music or just find pure enjoyment in doing so then your best bet is pick up some sticks or a bass. Most music isn't bass driven so you can just use basic theory and get by. I think a sick bassists has far more talent than a sick guitarist. Jazz bassists> 98% of guitarists.

I picked up a guitar after bass and I really think that helped me because I was use the frets being so far away. The "hard" chords aren't really hard to me and moving up and down the fret board is no problem at all. The strings are easier to play faster with as well. I've always prefered counter melody so I'll stick with my bass.
