Now it feels like the more I play guitar, the better I get at bass. And the more I play bass, the better I get at guitar.
Which is a good feeling. ๐
If you're actively learning both guitar and bass at the same time, consider using a pick for both.
I played bass finger style for a few years. It was only once I switched to a pick that I got the full synergy between the two instruments (fast precision arps, left hand muting).
I had a blast interviewing @taeluralexis.bsky.social about her journey from working at McDonalds to software engineer and now security analyst.
