Can i learn how to play bass from someone other than expert village?
finally expertvillage u got a decent bass vid bcuz normally u guys suc but this is decent.
it IS a scale… How to Play the Bass Guitar : How to Play a Blues Scale on Bass Guitar
sounds a little country. and you should turn the bass itself up a little.
the bass maintains the melodic structure of any song without it the song doesn’t flow
it was a scale….
nice fender in the backround i got one 2 :D
It’s just standard cliche bass line for a blues, thats why it sounds familiar…. In some old Elvis songs you’ll hear his bassist using the same pattern with some rhythmic variations Too Much and Hound Dog use it. but I’m sure you could find a crap load of songs that use this line
does anyone know what’s the name of the song he played? i have been looking for it for a while..
Clearly you havent heard a lot of bass stuff yet…
Bass is an awesome instrument
Haha, yeah. It’s always slightly shakey at the start, but once you get it rolling you just never wanna stop! Then at some point y’all both just seem to go into autopilot and you just sit there playing whatever and not thinking about it. It’s like you’re just along for the ride.
Been a while since I did that though. Gotta do a jam like that some time again soon..
i know what your talkin about hugelybig! it happened at my school prom :P my band was playing and we’d finished our setlist so me (on bass) and the drummer, just jammed for a good 20 minutes non stop, it was like magic! xD
Mah boy, there’s plenty of bass chords. Get a good bassist, and a good drummer, and you got yourself at least half an hour of non-stop jamming! I’ve done it many a time. It’s pretty sweet. Especially when both of you just start improvising and it somehow sounds awesome..
bass and drums form the core of the band. these instruments are the centre based on which the other instruments are played. and… of course you can jam with only a bass and drums. if i are good enough, that is. if u have a synchronised drum and bass line, the band will sound tight. don’t underestimate a bass.
well of course and i do love some bass lines and you cant make a song without it
idk just sayin i wouldnt be able to ever play some crazy bassline but i can jam a sweet riff
the bass is the core of the band.. remember that!
all instruments are backup vocal.
The bass is need, kid.
i dont get how people can really like bass
you cant just jam or play chords or anything
its just backup music thats not fun for me the play at alll
dont get it
Not so much a blues scale as a riff using the notes of a 6th chord played over a blues progression.
You’re right; when learning you should probably just play the 5th fret (and, even though it SOUNDS easier to just play an open string, depending on the riff, it can sound better and feel more comfortable to just play the 5th fret) as it will help you with your speed and strength in your left hand.. But its a handy trick to learn early on (means you can play down the strings to make a riff sound more fluid, rather than playing across a string which can make the riff sound very jumpy)
Yeah, but as far as practicing goes, I’d rather jump up there, just to keep my hands in shape — good point though, I would’ve missed that.
your right! haha thanks!
ok to make the riffs alot eaier…instead of sliding down to the 5th fret you can play the next sting open..so like instead of playing the 5th fret on the A string you can play open D and its the same note
thank you!
