You really start to appreciate what people can do on guitar when you try it on bass. Sweeps are freaking difficult especially on bass (then again people like Nathan Navarro and Josh Fossgreen make it look easy), the fact that some people like Yngwie Malmsteen can do them as quickly as they do them blows my mind.

Sungha Jung is a lord :D His covers are freaking beautiful. I love fingerstyle guitar too, I just can't really grow out my fingernails and still play bass

As far as writing music, I write some riffs on acoustic guitar here and there but normally if I feel like writing I just play along to a backing track/loop until I get something I like. The only problem is that if I try to turn it into a song, it pretty much has to be instrumental because 1. There's normally too much going on that vocals would just sound out of place 2. I couldn't write lyrics to save my life.

I totally understand, I can only really improv and then just pick out things I liked. And while I can comp decently well on a piano or something, I can't write lyrics.

Did I mention I'm a full-on fan of instrumentals guys?
Compose your heart out - there's no need for lyrics mate :P

And mayneee, give the world a crazily catchy bassline and all of us would probably headbang to it until the end of time - #BASSPOWERS
Yngwie Malmsteen is the boss \O/
Sungha's kinda "stiff" now, I think the media's restricting him to more work and less freedom - I can sense it. But other players like Simeon Baker, Tobias Rauscher, Eddie van der Meer -- are still staying true to themselves!
