    I went to play with a couple of bands who wanted me to play "their basslines" for their songs and EVERY TIME, it was a guitarist who wrote the Bassline and they wrote (and played) it the way a guitar would be played.
    They kept wanting me to play with a pick.

And you're an inspiration for me as a fellow introvert, tall guy, and shy person. You helped me be myself more and accept myself and not see myself as an outcast who needs to be 'fixed'. So thank you I usually don't write these comments but you truly are an inspiration for me keep it up and never change :)

    As a bassist and classical guitarist I have to say: First learn to play bass. Here is my reasoning:
    The things, that you need to learn on a bass in order to function in a band are the most important practices, that every musician on a bass/guitar-shaped instrument have to learn. Except Bass has thicker strings and you need better technique (and more strenght) to do it right. I am talking about fundamentals, that every good musician on those instruments need.
    Talking about strenght in the hand/finger. In order to warm up before playing guitar, I play some scales... but if I warm up before playing bass, I play some guitar first.

    • @MobiusBandwidth
      @MobiusBandwidth 4 месяца назад

      I wanted to play bass, my parents said, why not try guitar first? why? because we already had one in the house. later as a bass teacher I ran into this many times among my students. I hope it's not still a thing. you can buy a new bass online for $70 that's a very decent beginner's instrument. buy your kid a bass.

    Long time watcher, love the content. I usually only try to have one bass for sale an one keeper… at the moment I have a fender jazz bass, squier active jaguar, vintage Hondo explorer h-880, vintage Peavey T-40 and some home made mariachi style fret less acoustic electric. I have even had to stop myself from buying more. The only reason I ever put guitar next to bass when I list them is just to expand my reach for looks at my post… even when I post a mic or drums I always put “ ( guitar bass studio band related) “ I always think it’s hilarious when I see a guitar bundled with a bass amp or someone puts “base guitar”

    I've actually had this problem when it came to learning Bass. The teacher there played a lot of instruments and had a great sense in music theory, but he couldn't properly teach me advanced techniques like slap, tap, double thumb, etcetera. He applied as a teacher for bass because he knew how to play guitar well. It's nice to know guitar for music theory and such when teaching bass, but if you are going to teach it, actually know how to play it like a virtuouso. Don't apply because you know another instrument. It feels insulting. It's like if someone said they can teach the tuba cause they know how to play the trumpet. Learn it and respect it. Each instrument has their own techniques and fundamentals to learn.

    Ciao Dave, sto imparando a parlare italiano.
    Is there any channel or videos of Davide Biale in Italian so I can practice?
    Continua a schiaffeggiare quel basso!
