Nice job

Like the bass bits

There are areas where the bass isn't musically synonymous with the guitar, that is, they divert into towards two different chord progressions. This needs to match.

This second suggestion is purely aesthetic: when the bass plays along exactly with the guitar part, rhythmically the sound the same. It becomes pedantic. You can have a few bass notes play in the spaces where the guitar rests. Or the bass can play counterpoint in certain areas. This, of course, would necessitate some knowledge and training in counterpoint.

Make sure you know what the chord progression is. It'll be much easier to write lyrics to it.

Cool. You're on the right track. Soon, you'll be introduced to your dear friend - The Circle Of Fifths, Chord Progressions (I - ii - iii - IV - V - VI - vii), Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge & FACE, etc. Have fun!
