    bass is the lowkey glue that holds these songs together and connects the guitars with the drums. This is a perfect example of that.

  • @pasta7650
    @pasta7650 2 роки тому +18

    So I was thinking about trying to learn either the guitar or the bass guitar and I searched for videos without bass and their comparison with bass. I found this one, and my guesses were right; bass is truly an important instrument to make music sound more vivid. My dad said that bass was useless and of course, I disagreed with him. He knows a bit of music so I obviously wasn't expecting him to say that. Anyways I'm still having a really hard time choosing between those two instruments. Besides from the standart differences, I also want you to note that I played the violin from age 7 to 9, and I am now 14, although I sometimes refresh my abilities with the instrument. I would love to play in a band. Guitar is maybe very over-played so the bass is a much safer path. Not many people recognize bassist though, and a lot of bands us MIDI bass. I can answer your question and at least help me decide because I like both instruments with very little no to preference whatsoever. Thank you
