That was a freaking amazing performance  I couldn't believe that anyone is able to pull such tunes out of a bass.

wow that victor guy is really good. haha i was just thinking today that if i want to play guitar more than drums, i shud go off w/ bass cuz there's just not enough of them in the world. haha, we'll see...my mom's already paid so much for my bro's guitar, a 16-old w/ 4 guitars??? omg, that's a lot of money. i think i'd enjoy drumming better but a bass wud be easier to carry around... _________________ The world will see me when I'm ready to show myself.

Yous should learn guitar, it's awesome! One reason I really love it is because it's so popular that I have all these resources, tabs, exercises, music sheets etc. just here on here internet! One thing I also love about playing is the extensive selection of classical, acoustic, and electric guitars there are...it's fun. Once you get really into it it really is very fun to play guitar too. _________________ Kneel before your god Babylon!

I think that if you are in a band playing ANY instrument it would be fun. Bass players look pretty sweet when they are playing IMO. Kind of like they are too cool for school... swaying side to side with their index and middle finger plucking out some sweet bass lines. Yeah you should just stick to guitar considering how many different styles there are and how hard it is to master all of them. I play guitar and violin, but I started guitar first and I absolutely love it. It takes me to a completely different time and place to hear a nice acoustic or classical guitar tune and to be able to play one is awesome! Another things I wanted to say is that one of my friends plays trumpet, someone band instrument, drums, bass, classical, acoustic, and electric guitar, piano, and many others, but I can't imagine him being great at any one of them. _________________ Kneel before your god Babylon!

I'd have to say go with guitar over drums...Drums are punk rock though, but I love guitar and if to do drums I had to dump guitar I would never. _________________ Kneel before your god Babylon!

Yeah I hear ya. I actually have been playing for awhile (8 years?) but feel like I haven't progressed much. I started out on classical, taking lessons, then my lessons changed gears to learning jazz songs and rock songs. Then I stopped taking lessons, so now I just play fun songs... I'm thinking about going back to lessons to learn some theory. |

I'm thinking about going back to lessons to learn some theory. If you don't know theory, definitely learn some. Though after playing for as long as you have, I don't see how you could've missed that much theory. Especially if you started out with lessons.. I'm assuming you know basic notes and rhythms and all that. After that is scales and chord variations and structures that you have to learn, which actually isn't that bad. That's pretty much it for music theory, unless you want to get a degree in music theory or something.. lol. And as for multi-instruments.. if you're capable of it, I say go for it. I personally play clarinet, drums, guitar, and a little piano myself, so speaking from experience, it's always helpful to know how to play a variety of instruments. Though of course, you should always focus on one while learning it. It's helped me gain a healthy respect for a variety of instruments and it helps you a lot in music theory and technique. Learning how to use your ears is very important in music.. |

You know, the advantage guitar has over drums is that you can play pretty much any song you wish to, just you with your guitar, which isn't so easy with drums, or so it seems to me. |
