YYZ is one they should have joined on. It's just incredible for both.

No bro both of them need a drummer havent you listen the drum on background

[@nicorepetto5781]

You ever heard of drum & bass? That's a whole grenre without guitar. Bass does not need a guitar. It's very common to get bands without guitar but incredibly rare to get bands without basses. Bass frequencies are just more fundamental for good sounding music. I love guitar but it's like vocals to me. They're not essential but arguably bass is

What especially amuses me is that the "guitar" side still clearly has the bass track in it and vice versa.

[@kingdonut6675]

Wether you like bass or electric can we all admit that them playing “Can’t Stop” together sounds awesome!

[@ali.ganbarov]

great choice of riffs! It would be very interesting to see if these riffs had instruments isolated though, otherwise seemed a bit pointless when for example the bass is still playing in the background on the "GUITAR" riff.

[@nzeches]

Actually pretty much any of the selected guitar riffs also have a cool bass part in it that make them sound great… so I guess bass wins ? 😂

[@ErraticFaith]

Bass was scientifically studied, along side the rest; to be the most important instrument in overall sound output/mix/composition (within relevant genres). It's the only irreplaceable instrument in a much larger volume of songs than might be apparent. If you don't really have the 'guitar bug'; I recommend you quit and try Bass. It's a vastly superior instrument in most cases.

Danilo…yo toco ambos instrumentos, guitarra y bajo. En este video, tengo que decir que el bajo ganó el concurso. Por qué? Porque a pesar que había música de bandas diferentes, con estilos diferentes y de tres décadas diferentes… Un bajista tocando un bajo, el venerable Fender P-Bass, directamente en un amplificador sin pedales, no solo tocó interpretaciones reconocibles sino que hizo un buen trabajo al aproximar los diversos tonos. La Máxima con lo Mínimo.
