This is a good place to buy backing tracks from to play along with https://www.karaoke-version.com/
You can buy the custom backing tracks only £1.99 where you can take out the bass or guitar and play along with them.
Start nice and easy something like, "She Sells Sanctuary" by the Cult, three notes on bass A C G just played over and over and you will feel like your playing in a really good band!
Of course it's a bit more tricky to play the guitar parts for your wife.

Oh well, 'twas just a thought! Good luck to her too, with YouTube instruction videos - they may not be that great (I wouldn't know, I've never used them) but think yourselves very lucky! Back in the day all we had was Bert Weedon's 'Play in a Day' instruction book - and if ever there was a book whose title infringed the trade descriptions act in so many ways, that was it!
He's good isn't he . . . . The whole you tube thing missed me really, but my sone spends most of his life watching stuff . . . .
Me too . . . . I've been eyeing this up, bit pricey, but utterly fantastic

Obviously please be aware that Mrs B bought it (but obviously extorted the cash from me!) https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Chicago-Bass-Guitar-and-15W-Amp-Pack-Black/DBK?
What should you aspire too? How about this combination? The tone of JJ Burnel, the slap of Mark King, the gallop of Steve Harris? Just to be going on with
And the Rock God pose of Peter Hook (in his New Order days)
As others have said, YouTube is your friend. It's great fun.
You might want to decide which songs or riffs you want to learn, and then type 'song title bass guitar' into YouTube.
I recently spent a rainy afternoon learning the bass lines to Bohemian Rhapsody doing this.

The guitar equivalent of personalised number plates - an indication that somebody has got just too much money!

Do you have to be able to read music to learn to play?
