Right, but maybe work a bit on your grammar first.

Ripper, your friends are idiots. I started out as a guitarist 60 years ago, and soon discovered that guitar players are like horse sh*t in a western town - they are all over the place. Play bass - less competition and more gigs. I haven't been bored since.

I see. Sorry.
Rather than try to give any advice at this point,
spend some time going through our threads here to get a taste of the truth.
I see you're only 15, and are into bass guitar....maybe ask your question on the BG side?

Hint: Anyone who is bored with ANY musical instrument is an idiot.

Yup yup. Any instrument is but a vehicle. The music is in the mind and heart of the one who is playing it.
