Exactly. I consider myself a pianist, guitarist, vocalist. And while I can play drums and bass, both competently, I am far far away from considering myself a drummer or a bassist. My band all switches instruments in the writing process, but when it comes to recording, for instance, maybe I wrote a cool drum beat that we love, but the drummer learns the part super quick and can already play it ten times better… it’s a fun process and no egos. We know what we’re good at technically, but it can be nice to get ideas from others and refine them and perform them better.

Quiet dignity

I learned from years of home recording that sometimes it's better to let someone else write and play the bass part. Once you've written the guitar part, you're in a certain headspace with the song, and sometimes that bassline you hear in your head is lacking that certain something that would really make it pop. In cases like that, the input of another musician can sometimes be just what a song needs. I've had friends listen to my stuff and come back with keyboard parts, basslines, all manner of stuff that was way better than what I had laid down, and I think I'm a better musician today because of it.

For sure. As a guitarist I can say for sure that not everyone that plays the bass is a bass player. A real bass player can make your part sound different and much better while "hiding" in the background and can also shred themselves when appropriate. Not to mention how they groove with the percussion. I started on bass around 13 yo (though I'd played guitar a bit going back to like 8) because it's what I had access to at the time. Well, technically my first instrument was drums that i got at 7 but my older brother took those over and destroyed them. 😅... Anyway, I always played bass like a guitarist though I did learn the basic principles of "less is more" and specifically voicing and how that can have a huge effect on the music in whole.

Loving your podcast bro 👊

As a songwriter and guitarist with a degree in music that has toured, recorded and played everything from medium sized festivals with +1000 people to clubs infront of 5 bored girlfriends drinking free beer. I have one tip for my fellow songwriters. For every 1 average/good/great rythm section there is probably 500k to 1mil guitarists that can do exactly what your current guitarist does, there is a severe inflation of guirtarists in the world after all. So as a songwriter, if you find a good bass player and/or drummer hold on to them for dear life. If your guitarist decides to pipe up/create drama/take up more space than the group dynamic allows for, just throw em out. Lastly to my fellow guitarists, you are a musican first and guitarist second and music is a Co-Op activity, not PvP. Also trying to show off for your friends is cringe at best and when you do it on your band mates instrument of choice its also socially effed in the context of band dynamics. Find a partner that strokes your fragile ego instead, at least then when he/she leaves becasue you are a insecure ass your band/friends are still there for you
