It depends on your musical goals and preferences! Here’s a breakdown of each: Why Start with Guitar? ✅ More Versatile – You can play melodies, chords, and solos. ✅ More Learning Resources – Tons of tutorials and lessons available. ✅ Easier to Play Alone – You can play full songs without a band. ✅ Helps with Finger Dexterity – Builds skills useful for other stringed instruments. Why Start with Bass? ✅ Easier to Learn Basics – Fewer strings, single-note playing at first. ✅ Less Competition – More demand for bassists in bands. ✅ Rhythm-Focused – Helps develop timing and groove. ✅ Less Chord Work – Good if you find full chords difficult at first. Which One is Better for You? If you love melody, solos, and playing alone, start with guitar. If you enjoy groove, rhythm, and being in a band, start with bass. If you're unsure, try both and see what feels right! read less

Ultimately, the best approach is to choose the instrument that inspires you and aligns with your musical aspirations. read less
