I have a acoustic guitar. I don't play it all that much though. I suck at it.

I really REALLY want to pick it up. I just don't think I have the dexterity in my hands for it. Maybe bass.

Really? I've always heard the opposite, that bass is easier.

Well I really think it would depend on what you feel like playing, Jro.

I would say bass is easier. I play bass, but I have an acoustic Epiphone Gibson (I don't know what order those names are supposed to be in) for a guitar. I guess it's a lot easier if all you is play a few root notes of chords along with the guitar in a song, but I would say guitar and bass are pretty equal when you're doing really complicated/fast stuff on it. I'd say go for it, though. I can't play guitar well. I keep muting the strings with my fingers when I try to do a chord. Plus I've grown to like bass better.

For either bass or guitar, I agree that ultimate-guitar.com is a great site for tabs and lessons and articles and stuff like that. I'm still trying to get my head around it all.

(there's already like two threads for guitarists, if a moderator would care to stick this thread in one of the others)
