Lessons are always good to get, but if you are too poor just stick with it. Eventually you'll get through the akward fingers and strings are confused *hides under bed*.
I like playing with a bass player, but being a bass player seems boring. I guess everyone find joy in different things, but I don't see how after playing guitar you could decide that the bass is superior. Then again that would be an opinion coming from a guitar player who's never even attempted playing a bass guitar. It intimidates me for some reason, and i'm not sure why.
