The Bass Guitar





That means that if you’re a good bass player, you’re willing to work hard, learn You make the other band members sound good, and there are many styles of music out there that use the bass guitar. Another great reason why the bass guitar is cool is that EVERYONE needs a bass player. You can pick up a bass guitar and start playing bass lines almost immediately – the good news is that the easier it is to play an instrument along to music you like when you’re starting out, the more likely you’ll stay with the instrument for good. You don’t have to have four-way independence as with drums, you don’t have to memorize all the chord fingering patterns like you would with a guitar, and you don’t have to spend years to get a sound that doesn’t sound like a cat being tortured as you would with a violin.

Well, getting up and running with a bass guitar is much easier than most other instruments. What is it about the bass guitar that is cool, or should be attractive to someone just starting out that just wants to play SOMETHING? So besides this, why take on the bass guitar? It is a great responsibility that you take on – called the groove – without it; any music you play will be lame.

Many won’t even realize that it is the bass player and the way he chooses to play certain notes, leave others out, and the space and rhythms in between these that are hypnotizing them into dancing.
