The guitar chord progressions are often the most wonderful platform on which bass parts are suggested to the mind.
It was certainly a watershed for me though I didn't realize it for a couple of decades. Starting around 1990, every couple of years or so, I'd feel like I had come to the end of my invention and abilities as a bass player. My first complete songs were written on bass and I used to have such a ball improvising and after 10 years I thought I'd shot my bolt.Learning to play guitar was probably the single thing that most improved my bass playing.
I started out teaching him myself, but you know kids think parents don't know anything. He really didn't like me teaching him.
I think much of that depends on the ages of the kids and to some extent, the dominant mindset of the peer group they hang with and/or are influenced by, as well as the state of your relationship with them at that particular moment. It is important to stress though, that just because your kids think you know nothing of any value to them, it doesn't mean you don't have a good relationship with them. It may mean that but it could as easilly mean that they're growing up and are testing the waters of their own views.I know what you mean about kids not thinking their parents know anything, classic situation.
It was only after playing bass for 7 years that I learned the actual names of the notes because I was playing in an aggregation that played some songs out of music books ! When they first said to me 'it's in C' or whatever, I'd think, "daaaamn !".But he's getting there. He CAN name most of the notes on the fretboard.
Amen, amen, and I'll say it again ~ amen !But I don't practice, I just like to play, so I'll never get much better at it. lol
