Bass
Apart from acoustic guitar, I also love playing bass though I'm not really able to master it. Bass adds beat and rhythm to a song and it's actually fun to play (one has to be prepared for shoulder aches though 'coz the instrument is kinda heavy and for some blisters and callous on fingers because of the thick strings
. But I promise, they're all worth it.
).
One cool bass line I've heard is that one from Zombie by The Cranberries and I really, really want to learn how to play this. Here's the tab that I got from
ultimate-guitar.com.
