As a mostly self-taught player of guitar, mandolin, and bass, I kind of wish I’d learned scales long ago. I will say that learning bass has made me learn where all of the notes are better, which has actually made me a better guitar player. I can usually pick things up by ear, and I can watch what others are playing to follow along. After almost 25 years of playing, the theory is kicking in, and I’ve got a nice positive feedback loop between instruments.
