There are three types of bass players as far as I'm concerned.
1. The Guitar Player frustration. This is a guy who thinks a four-string bass guitar, he plays the same notes with the guitar playing at the same time. While this adds an illusion of a Bass Player, this technique does not really add a lot of mixtures.
2. Egomaniacs that. Les Claypool has an interesting approach, ... and work for him. This will not work for you, so knock it off. I do not even like guitar players who play fast.
3. Good-minded rhythm centered Bass Player. In case you could not guess by the title of the weighted clear, this is the group I self-confidence to enter this is the technique I will now describe as the correct way to play Bass only.
The last section is a bit on it. Sarcasm is quite serious. There are as different styles of bass players because there are types of music. My object today is to talk about Rock Bassist using WCRMBP (technique # 3). OK, I'm punished for my short, let's call it the toilet techniques for people with ADHD. I was also punished for making fun of ADHD and regret (and apologize for) last comment.
Dynamics of Rhythm Section
From audio (hearing) the perspective of the bass drum and bass guitar compliment each other in some way, the bass drum has a very hard knee (sharp attacks) and the damage that fast (fast fading), while the bass guitar has a softer knee than the bass drum, but decay again. They also include differently, but free, voice frequency range make them both "greater" when playing together. In layman's terms this amount to make the bass drums sound fat and last longer while making the bass guitar also sounded heavier, but more importantly, sounds like it was hit hard.
Rhythm Section
Bagian rhythm is responsible for basic pekerjaan lagu, strong base on players Utama to establish dari. They are the backbone of the band. They create a framework that is built on top of all the rest. It handles the roots and the rhythm of the song and help get the groove track and stay there for the song. People can not sing along with songs they never heard, but that they could dance to it. Rhythm section is usually what the key people in the first.
Gettin 'In Tune
One of the most important thing for beginners Bass Player to do is to get "in tune" so to speak, with Bass Player Drummer As you need to learn to play tight with the drummer .. It can be very hard when you start, make sure the rhythm section sounds together, and unlike the double bass drum kit and rolling down the hill. Get to know the specific drummer's style.
Does he hit, before, after, or directly on the beat?
Answering these questions will help you to anticipate and will move to where you must correctly with the drums.
There is one simple trick that will help even the most challenging bass player ...
Bassists have been told that starting position themselves during the exercise so you can see the drummer's foot, it seems to brighten them a little. Bass guitar hits does not necessarily follow, should highlight their drum hits, most importantly, you guessed it, the Bass Drum.
The easiest way to work on is to see the drummer and beat feet when they hit. - EVEN IF THEY MAKE A MISTAKE A.
Back at the Drummer's Watch
Like it or not your job is to work with the drummer, even to the point of covering their asses when they lost (of course, their job is to protect you, but it's for a different article). A mistake by a member of the band is easy for the listener to a place, but when the band members cover for it, unlike the clear and easy to ignore. Enough that no one mistakes' K?
Back to the point, follow the foot of a drummer. Next time you're listening to your favorite music, try to find the bass drum hits that do not have the bass notes associated with it.
"Why",?
Filling the Gaps
Once you are familiar with the drummer's foot hits you can move forward and start adding fill to the mix. Until you are more experienced good rule to remember is that you are there to add a note to the drum hits, to record each time you press must exist drum cymbal hit (real or imagined) right with it. That does not mean there should be a record for every bass drum hit, as Bass Player, used to the idea that you're not a hero in this picture, you are there for support.
During a real bass fills quickly get old. A Bass Player is good enough to just pepper accents without drawing unnecessary attention to itself. I plan to do an article centered around the bass fill the near future so be sure to check back.
