Re: Musical questions help!

[(Anonymous)]

Not actually a musician, but friends with some and have tried to pick up guitar a few times.

1) Guitar is indeed a higher sound. It's typically 6 strings, got a slightly shorter neck, and in the vast majority of songs, will involve playing chords (so more than one note/string at once). Bass is lower, typically 4 strings, and much longer distances between frets (so you need larger fingers. This is why I will never be a bassist). In most bands, the baseline is single notes, and often technically simpler than the guitar line, but not always.

2) In my experience, it tends to go that guitarists *can* play bass (unless they've got tiny fingers), but bassists have more trouble switching to guitar. This mostly goes to the chords vs. single notes thing. There's definitely adjustments to be made either way, but I think guitar->bass is easier than bass->guitar.

3) Depends on Bill and who he's talking to. I'd say that talking to a person who's not particularly into music, he'd say "I play guitar" or "I play bass", but not both. If the person's at least somewhat into music, then "Bass, and sometimes guitar" or even "Bass and rhythm guitar" would be reasonable. (Rhythm guitar is the backup guitarist. So they'd be playing more standard chord progressions, while the lead guitarist plays solos/main melody lines.)

Hmmm now that I think about it, Jim does have some loss of dexterity in his fingers, so that could be why he never picked up a bass, himself. Interesting.

I did not realize that rhythm guitar meant backup. That's useful. Thanks!
