    What are some of your tips for writing bass lines?

    • @14djfunk
      @14djfunk 3 года назад +9

      I'm speaking as a guitarist, but I like the way you described it as often acting as a complementary instrument; too much, or too little relative to everything else around it and it's noticeable. That's not to say it can't stand out, but I really think it shines in the role of accenting or merging different melodic and/or dynamic components of the song. Thanks for the insight! Really enjoying the content!

      Hola Philip, saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
      Es hermoso que hagas este contenido, bajistas agradecidos ❤️
      Casualmente toco con un Mustang como el tuyo, me gusta mucho como se sitúa en la mezcla.
      Cuando compongo líneas de bajo me gusta pensar que haría Paul mccartney en mi lugar 🙂

      Typically, I like to focus on getting a tight groove with the right low tone. Nonetheless, in my main band (called Rhinoceronte) we are a trio and we have a lot of space, so I like to sit in between the melodic ideas from the guitar and the grooves by the drums (no voices). My approach there is to try to outline and reinforce the main ideas and make them flow naturally, adding some colours in the process. To get that, I tend to focus on breathing (dynamics, space, tempo), textures (timber, technique, pedals; sometimes I like to think a synth, a second guitar or even a stick part and play them on my bass) and sometimes both (polyrhythms). And having fun, of course.

    Sometimes when the drummer is playing unique patterns on the crash, I lock in with those hits using the root and octave of the chord. I've also found that changing technique is a good way to emphasize certain parts of a bass line. For example, playing finger style in the verse and chorus, then slapping during a bridge. Even if the notes and phrasing stay the same, a change in tone can make a bass line sound "fresh"

    I'm not a Bass player so hearing your explanations about what a Bass player does and why is very interesting and informative. It's funny, much like a football lineman, Bass players are a very steady and obviously much needed presence that may only be noticed individually when what they're doing doesn't work well with the group. Watching you work through this process has been very educational. I have much more respect for "The Low End" than I did before. Thank you for posting this.

    This is one of the most realistic videos ive seen about music.
    "Wait hold on... does this suck? And why?" is such a crucial moment that most ppl woulda just cut out of the video.
    When u read off the chords i paused, thinking what id do, blah blah accent the third here etc. But your final result takes into account a whole layer of "what does the song need" that i would not have recognized myself. The way you *arrived* at the simple bassline was very insightful, nice video.

    It is always interesting to see thought processes for choosing bass lines. I play bass in a church. We do lots of styles from gospel to more contemporary style christian music. I have to think quick and find myself stuck in a rut just to get through. I like it when I find an alternate way of playing a part aside from the expected normal. Thanks for the insight.

    • @kevincothron5089
      @kevincothron5089 3 года назад +2

      @J L Totally agree with the play style. I find myself primarily on the root doing dotted quarter eighth note thing or quarter notes or eighth note patterns. Sometimes playing the 3rd or 5th of the chord for flavor as the chart dictates. C/E etc.G/D. It works.

    It was really cool hanging out and listening to you work out a bass line. I used to play the bass and I never knew how to make a bass line. It’s really nice to listen to musicians talk about music in this way too. I came up with a slightly different bass line in my own head as you were talking, and I was thinking about contrary motion, but I really liked what you were talking about rhythm, and also not competing with the other instruments.

    With ALL respect , this is one way to do It. I'm a Bass player and my aproach is exactely the opposite. I play along and use my ears to create something that comes to my mind ( or is IN my mind) and THEN I analyse the Harmony. ( Sometimes this leads you to new ways to enrich the Harmony) and as I play along, the rhythm is already there. The ears always leads you to good counterpoints with the Melody. But Nice vídeo👍😌

    One thing I was taught is to add a fill when a part is finished so to help the other members to count.

    is it possible to do semitone walk up and down the notes by walking up and down to and from the root of each chord in the chord progression of the piano keyboard (or bass guitar) and every now and then intersect and hit the chord tone and arpegio of the chord from the chord progression and play around with intervals of the scale (like the major 3rd and the perfect fifth) but often starting and ending on the root of each chord and often intersect the root of the chord while ensuring you follow the chord progression and do the bass line based on the chord progresion using notes from the scale that the key that song is in aswell as including octaves for root notes based on the chords of the chord progression for creating bass lines ? would this musical idea work for creating good bass lines ? (sorry if i am typing alot just had a whole lot of weed from my mate it kinda speeds up my brain alot and i tend to talk and think at million miles an hour when this happens lol)

    Finding a happy medium between drums & guitar is fun...once you go through hell developing the skill to do so.
    A simple change of drummer/guitarist might set you back to zero. So find the best, find your groove & stick together (like Rush, Kings X, ZZ Top, Gojira, Talking Heads).

    The hardest part about writing a bass line is explaining to your guitarist why it's hard to write one
