Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Get a guitar!. Learn to tune it (shouldn't be hard for you, but it is for some beginners!) Get a book with chords and learn some chords!. If you have friends who play guitar they can come over and teach you a few tricks!. It usually takes a while to build up strength in your left hand, and it might be easier for you, having played bass, but maybe not, since you have to hold down several strings at once for chords!.

ALL of the bass players I know began with the guitar and then went to the bass (like me)!. Unless you're talking about a bass viol!. If you can learn bass by yourself, you can learn guitar!

Most bass players I know practiced bass by playing along with songs on records or on the radio!. You can do that with guitar too!Www@QuestionHome@Com
