If the bassist is off groove it’s very noticeable and throws it off. And the bass states the chord without having to play the whole chord leaving room for the guitar. I’m a guitar player btw that just reallly appreciates the bass player

    As a guitarist I can say a good bass player is worth their weight on gold. I play a lot of open strings in my riffs. I really was a big Mark Tremonti fan growing up. So using the open strings allows me to navigate without making everything so busy. It allows for a good bass player to really add cool fills and sounds much more dynamic as a whole.

    It might not even consciously register with people, but without the bass, everything sounds thin and missing something. Everything is important, but the bass is like compression on a recording. It glues everything together. In some genres it’s really important. Imagine what hip hop would sound like with out the 808.

      At the end of the day we’re all contributing to music, the instruments we play all have roles to fill, musicians understand this basic concept. So don’t call yourselves guitarists, bassists, violinists, pianists, call yourselves musicians. The only way calling yourself something based on the instrument you play is if you’re getting taught, asking a instrument specific question, or talking amongst others whom play the same instrument. Beyond that, it’s fair to call people beginner, intermediate, and advanced musicians, then after that are the pros.
