   I can say I am a beginner even though I have been playing guitar for more than   
   60  years. The first epiphany I had was that the approach is NOT the same but,   
   I thought it would be a great tangent during the pandemic. In as much as you   
   are focusing on rhythm and harmony, what an excellent approach to theory! I   
   have to focus on the beat and stay away from melody. Technique is not the same   
   if you stay away from using a pick. I could say that guitar is more like   
   singing and bass is more like dancing! So far I am humbled by how much noise I   
   make from the strings I do not intend to hear because I am not damping them   
   properly. I have much respect for the accomplished bass players. So I have had   
   a dose of reality, it's not a piece of cake but I am intrigued so I am trying.   
   Now jumping from trombone is is challenging but you already sight read. I have   
   to plod through this as well.
