Is playing bass easier than playing guitar?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
For various reasons it can be easier for a beginner to pick up the bass than the guitar, but ultimately mastering either instrument is a unique challenge with different pros and cons. It will of course differ from person to person, but overall I wouldn't say that the bass is easier to play than the guitar.<|im_end|>
