Great lesson My friend!
Thanks guys!
@AlexLion : I'm using ernie ball super slinky bass 45-65-80-100 set. But I'm thinking of trying out some DR strings with thicker gauge.
Great bass lines! btw what`s the gauge of your bass G string?
Cool lesson Bogdan !
Hehe, cool! This stuff is must-know for sure
Sounds like a very happy Bass sound! I like it Kinda swingish.
Hello GMC!
-In today's lesson we are going to cover a new playing pattern. We have already covered using roots and 5ths to construct a bass line. This time we are going to get a little melodic and add a 6th (or flat 6th) to the story to make a bass line more interesting.
-Backing track will be a old school rock n roll one. This playing pattern was used in so many songs of that time. Its really essential to make a strong sounding bass line that supports the chords well and 6th is a good note choice to make when you want to sound more melodic.
-This lesson is in the key of C major. All notes will belong to C major scale.
-Key: C
-Tempo: 130 bpm
-Time signature: 4/4
-Tuning: standard
-Difficulty: beginner
Equipment I used for getting this sound was: Am Fender Jazz Bass deluxe, equal mix of both pickups with added bass and middle on onboard preamp - then going to the nemesis (eden) amp with a 1x15" and flat eq there.
Feel free to ask me any questions in the lesson's feedback and in my instructor board at the forum.
Enjoy and I hope you'll have a lot of fun rockin' in this one!
