Counterpoint

Well recently I've been working on creating more interesting lines and one way of doing this that I came across is called counterpoint. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with this and can offer some tips. I'm starting to figure it out but some help would be great.

Is that when the bassline is opposite to the melody or something? I think this song has an example of it at around 2:20



Sadly I don't know any more than that, I'm quite interested in knowing more though

That's pretty much my understanding. From what I gathered if the key is C and the guitarist is playing C G C the bass could G C G or E C E or any other different interval

i dont know much about conterpoints really but im interested now...and thats a good
