    Tips And Comments:
    - Playing Technique: Played next to the bridge withmiddle strength. Both pickups on, full tone
    - Gear Sound: Added low and high end, cut some mids (trying to emulate a kind of synth was not my goal really, just making it sit better on the song) Compression added and some chorus (stereo)
    - About The Song: Transcribed from the studio version with help of clips and live videos (originally synth keyboard, adapted to bass)

    Good line for practicing pick accuracy, staccato and rhythm (i decided to use a pick to emulate a little bit of the attack on the original song, you can use fingers). The track uses a keyboard to create a bass synth. I didn't go for trying to recreate that sound, and more for sitting the bass well on the mix. Sorry if it's not that audible. The line itself centers more on the tonic of each chord (except for the inversion on the chorus), marking it with octave movements on some parts. About harmony we're on a clear A Major with some issues:
    A Major (F, C, G are #)
    I A (A C# E)
    II Bm (B D F#) or Bmadd9 (B D F# C#) or Bm7 (B D F# A) or Bm9 (B D F# A C#) for this case (extended harmony, coloring)
    III C#m (C# E G#) or C#m7 (C# E G# B) for this case (extended harmony)
    IV D (D F# A) or Dmaj7 (D F# A C#) for this case (extended harmony)
    V E (E G# B) or E7 (E G# B D) for this case (extended harmony, dominant function) or E/G# (first inversion)
    VI F#m (F# A C#)
    bVII G (G B D) for this case (Mixolydian approach to A Major)
    VII G#dim (G# B D)

    As you say, "The track uses a keyboard to create a bass synth. I didn't go for trying to recreate that sound, and more for sitting the bass well on the mix". And that's the great thing!! I'm only an amateur bassist but I play electric guitar for many years and as every musician, professional or not, I'm interested in how a real bass fits on the mix. And you did a really great job!! Thanks for sharing!!

    • @Prof_Potato
      @Prof_Potato 5 месяцев назад +1

      Which raises the question, why stick with the bass synth. Sure it sounds “cleaner” but the actually instrument gives so much sonic nuance that’s lost when you go with clean synthetic bass lines. You don’t realize how clever the bass lines are until you hear it actually played.
