It's all fun and games until the piano player start stealing everybody's job
@SamasakiXBL
Honestly, the failed guitarist question hit hard for me lmao I don't really have the best dexterity for chords so I tried bass instead and had way more fun playing!
@ΆκηςΤσινιδης
Hey, you, yes you, who just started playing bass or consider playing, keep it up, you can do this!!!
@CourseCTRL
0:46 I appreciate how he didn't say "no, bass is way harder than guitar" like most bassists who are asked that question, and actually gave pros and cons to each.

Me: "Should I play bass or guitar?" Cliff Burton: "Yes."
@christinasims3524
Every day I'm grateful that I accidentally chose the (upright) bass in elementary school orchestra. Even though everyone said they couldn't hear me and my part didn't matter, I've been playing for ten years!! And now EVERYONE wants to play the bass (cuz we're cool)
@danshobbies13
Supply and demand leans towards being a bassist. Everyone wants to be a guitarist.
@RHINOSAUR
The HEAVY in heavy rock and heavy metal comes from the bass.
@davidpalmer9014
I've struggled with guitar for a very long time. Then I bought a bass. Now it's all I want to play. I really feel like I've been playing the wrong instrument for years.
@SharonSagar
It's easy to learn bass at the beginning, but so freaking difficult to master beyond an intermediate level... PS - Josh, please start an intermediate BassBuzz course soon!
@oabeljohnricardog.3421
Can we all agree that bass and guitar need each other?
@lincolnsobral
"should I play bass or guitar?" That's actually a pretty simple question to answer, bass.
@jonasvanmieghem3024
I play both, I love both. End of discussion (for me at least, there are fair points for both sides)
@Tenguforest
I've been playing guitar for over 40 years, and recently started playing bass in a church band, simply because there was no one else available or willing to fill the role. I must say I am really enjoying it. Totally different from playing guitar. As Geddy Lee said in an interview, most people don't choose to be bassists, but get voted into it because of necessity.
@diegoanaya6689
I wanted to play guitar, but I was struggling to learn some one told I had the hands of a bass player. I started training my ear to listen to bass and I fell in love with the bass.
@jesuslovesbass3944
Honestly, I can't imagine playing anything other than the bass. There's just something about the feeling you get when you're in the groove. The way the rhythm feels, makes you move. My opinion is simply this, you feel the song when you play the bass, you only hear the song with any other instrument(drums being the exception). It's not the piano, lead guitar, or saxophone that makes you tap your feet and move your head....it's the bass and the drum.........rock on rhythm section!
@satevo462
I grew up playing guitar since I was 9. I got a bass when I was 18. I remember thinking all I had to do was play the root note on the bass and follow the guitar. Then I dove deeper into the bass and realized the possibilities in a bass guitar. Tool is a great example of the guitar and Bass doing their own thing and linking up to make a complete song. Tool fucking rocks. Tool army where you at!!!
@RafaelMorgan
I'll tell you what: Learn both, if you have the chance. It teaches you to think outside the box, and one always brings new things to the other. I started taking the bass seriously after 15 years as a guitarist, and it dramatically improved my guitar playing.
