Can you tell me the difference between playing bass guitar,rhythem guitar and main guitar?

Answer 1

bass guitar - the 4-5 string guitar that plays a dull, low tone, normally the backbone of a band and sounds quite nice when played loud, but thats my opinion..
rhythm - the 6 string guitar that plays the whole song with the basic chords or tune
main / lead - the one that plays the 'individual tone' and makes the extra effects.. i agree wit a previous answer on that..

Answer 2

A bass guitar and a guitar are two seperate things. Just like how you can have an acoustic guitar and an electric one, you can have a bass (meaning the type you use in orchestras) or you can have a bass guitar (another way to say an electric bass). The bass differs from the guitar (speaking in the electric sense) in the fact that the strings are made out of metal. Being able to play the guitar does not mean you can play the bass. I learned to play the guitar first and switching to bass was a little different. Guitar music (tablature) is written on the treble clef, bass tabs are written on the bass clef, so you have to shift the way you read the music to fit the instrument. As for physical playing, there is no way for me to put in words how different playing the two instruments can be. Each instrument, guitar and bass, has it's own set of rules to follow.

Answer 3

the differences are huge. Bass guitar usualy helps keep the time of a song it playes along with the drums. Rhythem guitar plays the chords that go along with vocal changes, and lead guitar plays more single note melodies based from the chords of the Rhythem guitar. As well the ways you actualy play the is very different.

Answer 4

All aforementioned an sews are good. Try this.. like the difference in an orchestra between violins, cello, and string bass. you might want to substitute piano for cello because rhythm guitar functions to fill in chords (in a rhythmic way) but by so doing you loose the visual exercise this example provides. The combination of these particular instruments are fundamental to the distinctive sound of much popular music of today without which you probably would not sell very many records (oops,cd's, showing my age) If you read all the an sews you will have a good idea of the difference between these instruments

Answer 5

Bass guitar carries that main notes and rhythm with the drums.

Rhythm guitar's job is the fill in the staff with chords that givd the music a fuller sound.

Lead guitar's job is to add in nuances and solo melodies that compliment the main piece of music.

Answer 6

Actually there are 3 type

1...Rhythm it is only the chords to add fill and jump to the song

2..The Lead these are the single notes which are played they play the melodies of the song and also leads

3...Bass guitar is used only for the DEEP and low notes. If there is no Bass there the song sounds hollow..
bass is usually single deep notes

Answer 7

Bass guitar covers the lower octaves of the song....the rhythm guitar is what it is...plays rhythm...dunno about main guitar...unless you are refering to the main progression of the song...which would be rhythm...and lead guitar plays the solos...but however...the lead and rhythm guitar are the same 6 string instrument..and a bass is a totally diffrent instrument

Answer 8

the bass guitar has 4 strings and mainly used to give the band a bass tone and rythm

rythem guitar plays chords pretty much

the lead guitarist plays the solos and sometimes ryhthm but mainly focuses on the individual notes rather than chords

Answer 9

yes they all produce very diffrent sounds!
bass guitar probably is the easiest since it has only four strings.
