Don’t you hate it when stores release Christmas stuff way before the Christmas season, even before Thanksgiving? If you do, you’re a lot like my wife Angie. If someone sends me an ad or a sales pitch about some special Christmas gift, I respect what they are doing, and, especially with today’s economy, their need to get a jump on Christmas sales when those sales are likely to be the largest percent of their annual volume. That doesn’t mean I like it, it just means that I understand it. Nevertheless when my wife Angie gets one of those, her usual response is to post the ad with one of those little rubberized magnets on the refrigerator as a reminder not to buy a Christmas gift from them. That may sound a little harsh, but here’s what she said to me.
The bass guitar is one of the world’s greatest instruments. Without it, the rhythm section of any musical group would be rendered incomplete. The bass guitar was invented to solve some problems within musical groups, decades ago.

Bands using piano and brass sections particularly had these problems.
“When a child is born he or she should be issued a new dog and a cigar box banjo.” That little misquote is from Peanuts Guide to Life, by Charles Schultz.

The principle holds though for starting a child off right, and the questions about which type of dog and which type of banjo still need to be answered. The dog type is, of course, a beagle. The banjo type requires more consideration.
So, you want to learn to play the guitar? Congratulations, you’re now at the beginning of a fun and rewarding journey.
