Someone said, “Talented guys play guitar and drums. Crappy guitar players wind up on bass.” As a guy who’s learning to play bass guitar, this stung. So I fired up a video of Paul McCartney playing Silly Love Songs – live. He is not a crappy guitar player.

It doesn’t matter that regardless, I’m still a crappy guitar player – bass or otherwise. The point is, the bassist for the greatest rock band ever is pretty talented, so that someone doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
