Electric bass guitars: every guitarist should have
Some guitarists, including those who are relatively new to the instrument, are instinctively drawn to electric bass guitars. Others prefer the standard six-string guitar. The truth is, however, that all guitarists have much to gain by taking up the bass.
The strings of electric bass guitars are generally plucked with the thumb and fingers, although a plectrum can be used. Guitarists will often find that what they learn on a bass, for example finger-picking styles or two-note power chords, can frequently embellish their six-string playing.
Another advantage of playing bass is that it can help the guitarist secure a post in a band; demand for bass players usually outstrips supply. One reason for this is the mistaken assumption that electric bass guitars merely play an "invisible" supporting role. A bass however drives a band, and bass lines can be melodic in their own right.
Some guitarists are also deterred by the unfamiliarity of playing what is the equivalent of the four bottom strings of their six-string guitar; often the instinct is to play these strings as if they mirrored the top four. One short-term solution is simply to re-tune the strings so that they do mirror the top four, in other words to re-tune from EADG to DGBE.
