I've always said that the guitar is hard to play even the basic stuff on, but more complex stuff can be learned easily once the basics are mastered. The bass on the other hand is easy to play the basics on, but once the basics are mastered there is an awful lot of work to get anything complex learnt.
In other words you could pick up a bass and play some songs within the day, but to try and play slap bass or improvise an entertaining bass line along with some blues tunes or jazz can take years and years of practice

∙ 12y agoIt's so hard to heard because its low enough to the point that your ears aren't familiar with the sound so they don't pick it up.Unless you zone out completely and try to listen to the bass you won't ever hear it.
With practice it's possible to hear the bass as part of a track (I can). Listen for it to the exclusion of all else for a few weeks - if you can visualise the mix of the track as a circle, the bass is like a smaller circle attached to the bottom and hidden because of the two wings of guitar/vocals/keyboard sound on each side - and once you have got used to listening for it, you'll start hearing it.

What is the difference between rhythm guitar and bass guitar?
I play guitar. The most obvious reason is that the bass guitar is that gives the song backing so it sounds more full. The rhythm guitar gives more of treble sound but it is more versatile and can give off a bass sound too. Plus the rhythm guitar is more upfront while the bass guitar lurks in the background and fills in to give it a fuller sound. I mean unless you turn the bass up all the way on your stereo you don't really notice unless they play with a pick or if you had good ears or it's a quiet song you can hear the "plunk." Anyways, it's filler, but that's just my answer. It's rhythm and filler. The Bass guitar, along with the bass drum, adds the foundation, or bottom to the song. If you tap your foot to the music, you are tapping to that foundation. The rhythm guitar, fills in the holes, aka filling in the music between the beats of the drums, and the fullness of the bass. Together they form the rhythm section to the song.

Is there a guitar for blues?
When people hear the word blues guitar they typically think of the four stringed guitar called a bass. This is a type of guitar but not technically a guitar because a guitar by definition is a 6-stringed instrument. Blues riffs can be played on any instrument. Guitar, bass, piano, saxophone, etc... So there is no specific instrument or in your case guitar that is for blues. The difference between a guitar and a bass?

What are some bass Guitar Pros and Cons?
Thinking of playing the bass? Pro: Everybody wants to play guitar or drums, so there are less bass players and more opportunities to get into a band. The bass player is the cool guy that stands there without having to go crazy on stage. If you have big fat fingers, guitar can be difficult, so bass may be easier. Con: Requires more finger strength than guitar. Equipment is heavier than guitar. A bass can weight twice that of a guitar, so get a wide padded strap. I guess you just have to try it out for yourself and see if you like it. A guitarist friend told me that he struggled with bass, and was better at guitar. I had the exact opposite experience myself and have been playing bass for about 25 years. I can't get my fat fingers to fret a chord on a guitar, but I can lay down a mean bass line.

Can I combine guitar strings with bass strings on an electric guitar and if so what thickness should I use?
Thought I've never tried this, I highly doubt using bass strings on a guitar would work. First of all, the bass string likely wouldn't fit inside a guitar's tuning peg. Also, the action on a guitar simply wouldn't work with a bass string. As far as pickups go, I'm not sure what bass frequencies would do to a guitar pickup, but i wouldn't try.
Are bass guitar notes the same as electric guitar notes?
Bass guitar strings are tuned to the same notes as the thickest four strings of an electric guitar, but they are tuned one octave lower. So, the same notes, but one octave "deeper".
