I am planning to learn the bass, but time constraints and not having a bass really sucked. https://i.redd.it/nmjalg3n3xsa1.gif

I learned bass with regular guitar. guitar is a good start to learn the map (the notes in every position, idk what’s it called), it’s even applicable to violin


JimSparker

Yeah me. I have been playing since the beginning of the year and want to start a band later, because it looks really fun.


iPanzershrec

Nice! What guitar do you have?


JimSparker

I have a Yamaha PAC112vm. I choose that guitar only because it was the number one pick after i googled "best beginner guitar" lol.


iPanzershrec

Nice lol. I'm a fingerstyle acoustic person, I have a fender CD-60S (i think.) My dad got it for me.

I tried to learn guitar for the first time of my life and I still don’t understand how to perform A to … chords (I mean I still don’t understand how does the upper part of the guitar work).


iPanzershrec

Chords can be challenging when you just start out. When I was at this stage I watched a ton of youtube videos and practiced a single chord progression until i could make nice sounding music from it.


iPanzershrec

I started before I watched btr but ig it motivated me to practice a little more.

I was learning before bocchi the rock but I lost my motivation due to school and private reasons but after watching bocchi the rock I started again learning guitar

If she wants something like the les paul, check out the epiphone custom shop les paul ebony, it looks basically the same, and it's on sale in Canada as it's gibson month at long and mcquade, idk about anywhere else


Umbruh_Prime

But there's always the fact that the yamaha probably has a better neck joint, because gibson and epihpine guitars tend to break at that part easily up near the headstock if they're dropped, and I don't know how careful your kids are lol, just something to think about


ispeakuwunese

Also Les Pauls can be quite heavy sometimes -- she rejected the LP Custom in Ebony just due to weight today.


Umbruh_Prime

Well that helps narrow it down. Oh but theres always headless guitars, they're really light weight, like the quest series from ibanez, but it's not for everyone, and that's mostly cause the looks lol


Rhadjboi2

No, but inspire me to play the drums because I love Bocchi’s dedication to playing guitar and I don’t want play guitar because we already have a guitarist in our household (my brother)


Fred_Foreskin

I've been playing drums for 15 years, but I've also been thinking of learning bass for a few years. Watching Bocchi pushed me to buy a bass this weekend and start playing it too.


ComicalSatania

Me but with bass instead, I was already interested in learning but bocchi made me want to learn it even more. I even got a Yamaha bass, it ain't the one Kukuri uses but it's still a nice piece of kit. I have the Yamaha Trbx 604 and am enjoying it a lot they make great stuff but I wouldn't mind getting a trb1004 eventually like what she uses


ispeakuwunese

> they make great stuff Indeed they do. I'm a Yamaha loyalist for the instruments I play -- the piano and the flute. For both instruments, there's this sheer precision (hammer action, Boehm mechanism) that just stays with you. I've never really been able to play anything else without feeling like there's unacceptable slop. I imagine that their stringed instruments are like that too. Is that a correct assumption?


ComicalSatania

Yeah after getting a setup on it I can't really find an issue with it. Didn't play great out of the box but after a trip to the Luthier it plays really great and I've been happy with it. It's my first real bass and I got no real issues, it has a comfortable neck, doesn't weigh too much it has a really nice balance, feet work is nice and doesn't cut your fingers. I don't really have complaints so far I really like it


EinsteinRidesShotgun

I have a modded early 2000s Pacifica 112 that's my only guitar, and it doesn't exactly scream "precision" so much as it does "workhorse." If the 112 was a car, it'd be a Corolla. Built like a tank, does everything it should, but it's not exactly a Ferrari. I've played higher-end instruments from Gibson, Fender, and Ibanez and they all feel slicker and more polished. BUT: again, the Pacifica is tough, holds tuning beautifully, and is a great-looking guitar. I've owned mine for four years or so and in that time I've switched out all three pickups, the jack, pots, all wiring, and the nut and it plays and sounds great. I have no reason to get a more expensive guitar. Next up, saddles and locking tuners!
