Okay, here's a question for all of you. I plan on learning a new instrument besides piano, but I don't know wheter to learn bass or guitar. I hear bass is easy if you know how to play guitar you can play bass. The thing is Dad says I have no potential for guitar which makes me want to play an instrument more to show him up. So can you guys give me your opinions on what you think I should do? It would be much appreciated.


Why would you have no potential for guitar? Anyway, that's what I play, so I'll tell you to learn that, and if you don't like it...at least it'll be easier to do bass?

My dad can be an ass sometimes, but I love him nonetheless. Thanks for the feedback but I think I'll learn bass because my mom guranteed me a bass for my birthday. Also, I think my cousin is going to learn guitar so we can just teach each other.

I know the chorus already..but I'm asking about the Verse and the Fill and stuff. Like the really signature parts of the song.

I mean, what I find really odd about that tab (and some others...can't name em at the moment...) is that they use two strings at the same tiem. I thought that wasn't possible on a bass (to soudn right at least.)

i just started by learning really easy covers. i believe in a thing called love by the darkness, or anything by blink 182, weezer, etc. it all seemed to come fairly naturally...

Okay. I really need help here.

How does this become a G?
E----3------------------------------------------------------------
H----3------------------------------------------------------------
G----4------------------------------------------------------------
D----5------------------------------------------------------------
A----5------------------------------------------------------------
E----3------------------------------------------------------------

And what the hell is this?
E----------------------------------------------------------------
H----------------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------
E--0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8----------------------------------

I know all that basic stuff, f.eks what number the different fingers has. But I just can't get it right. Can somebody help? Please.

right, that first one is a G because the 3rd fret on the bottom E is a G, and the 5's on A and D make a power chord. the notes on the other strings just give the chords more depth.
and the second one is a basic tab. 0 is open string. so you play open E, then first fret E (which is F), 2nd fret E (F#), 3rd fret E (G), 4th fret E (G#), 5th fret E (A), 6th fret E (A#), 7th fret E (B), 8th fret E (C).

hope that helps Up
