i play the bass guitar

Originally, i wanted to play the guitar cause its always a kid's dream to stand out the most in the crowd. But then, i get myself in a position as the bassist instead for my band cause my friends all want to play the guitar. So, I started to play the bass. Learn it by myself cause i thought it'll be easy to play the bass. But, it turned out to be harder than expected cause when it comes to slapping, I'm really suck at it. So, the point is, learn by yourself would be much easier. Experience is the best teacher of all...
