Guitar Bass
If you have no experience in guitar, and your aim is to earn bass guitar, should you start with guitar first?
I want to Learn Bass guitar, but I have no interest in learning guitar at the moment. So, should I learn guitar first before bass? If so, why, because I thought bass is just a guitar in a lower octave, so I don't understand what the difference would be learning on guitar or bass.
Hello there,
I agree completely with the answer provided by The Grand. There is minimal benefit to learning the regular 6 string guitar as a preliminary to learning the bass. Those are very limited to the fundamentals of the guitar and can be learned starting with the bass just as quickly as starting with the guitar. The playing techniques are so dissimilar as to offset any general benefit gained by learning the guitar first.
