The Answer is… GILLS
Helpful Hints
- The definition is 'bass section', and notice the question mark! It means something fishy is going on – this is definitely not the kind of bass section you'd find in a band.
- 'Lead' and 'all but the first' are our selection indicators. One tells us to take just the first letter of a word, the other indicates that we should drop the first letter and keep the remaining letters.
- 'Guitarist' and 'fills' are our fodder – and this one is all letterplay. Use those letters (or some of them) as directed by the indicators.
