hopefully I will start learning bass soon.
A friend who's been playing for three years is going to be teaching me how to play.

Very Happy i need to save up some money so i can go out and buy the bass though.

I have two questions.
Is a bass more expensive than a guitar/acoustic guitar?
And do you need to know how to play the guitar to learn bass?

it really depends.
A cheap bass starts from 100 pounds. As do Guitars.
Accoustics start from 20-30 pounds.
And no, no guitar experience is nessersary,.

Ya, a three year old can play bass... well the basics (MCR). Tough it's quite different. I'm an amazing guitarist, but bass is a litttle difficult cause of the thicker strings and the way you pick it. So it really doesn't matter.

i got sum tips.
never ever play with a pic. it sounds just awful. always play plucking, gottit?
my pass is just a fender squire P bass. simple but it plays great. u dont need a fancy expensive one to play the same song.
get new strings every like year and ur bass will always sound good.
adjust the tension constantly too.

green day songs r super fun on bass.
especialy minority. its cool and irish.

i know that mikey and ray dont show their talent fully but they r still my heros.
has anyone heard ray?
he is amazing and rarely shows it with MCR.
same with mikey.
mcr needs sum basslines like green day.
green day has the best bass lines in the world.
this is minority

^ Well, they're okay, but Greenday bass lines sound the same as the guitar most the time, if that makes sence, like say a chord iin one of Greendays song was ACD, the bass would play A.
I thought the red hot chillie peppers has a good bassist.

MCR have horrendously boring bass lines.


Yes
It's so simple.
A three year old could play it.

I don't see why people say that Mikey Way is their bassist hero when everything he plays is

There's nothing really special about that.

Yeah, but it's still fun to play stuff by a favorite band. The solid-ness gives some structure to Rays wild guitar.

I personally like Green Day bass lines. I can play Longview.

It's part of Disenchanted, right before the chorus where Gerard sings 'Cause you never learned a goddamn thing'.

but now that I look back on it, it was written wrong.
I don't even know what part of the song that should be, since the last couple of notes are wrong "\
I just copied and pasted it from a tab and assumed it was right.

my bad
