Will Heggie was the original bassist in Cocteau Twins and the person responsible for all the driving, melodic bass lines on early era Cocteau Twins records not Robin Guthrie. He is often overlooked and not given the credit he is due.
Wills bass continued onto the band LOWLIFE, also from Grangemouth. ruclips.net/video/z5XqbiJ0zJo/видео.html Latest rumour from management @tsbrecords is that all Lowlife albums could be getting remastered and re-released
Robin did play the bass in the period between Will and Simon (the Head Over Heels album) but if I remember correctly the Peppermint Pig EP was Will's last involvement with the band. I completely agree with you about him being overlooked and much under-rated. I was fortunate enough to see them in 1983 when they were a two piece with everything other than some of Robin's guitars being on tape. Stunning gig!
Great bass playing by Will on early Cocteaus stuff. Simon Raymonde who was with them from late 83 early 84 onwards was equally brilliant. However, throughout the middle period after Will left and before Simon joined (Head-over Heels period) Robin Guthrie play both guitar and bass on recordings. I’m not sure if Robin or Will played bass on Peppermint pig as this was after Garlands (First LP) and Head Over Heals (second LP).
Playing different root notes is another really cool way of looking at harmony for bass. For instance, if you play a G over a B power chord, it turns it into a Gmaj7, or if you play an E on a Gmaj7, it turns into an Em9. Shifting around and finding interesting harmonic combinations in relation to the guitar chords is a great way to expand your bass playing.
My favorite technique is to play three frets below a maj7 chord, turning it into a minor 9 chord. If the guitarist has a simple two-chord progression, you effectively turn it into a four-chord progression just by mixing the "minor 9 roots" with the usual root notes.
@@marshallemmet1366 I love that idea! I do stuff like that too, but as a guitarist I try to give chords extensions and play with a mixture of lead and rhythm, like if the other guitarist is playing a major 7, I add a 9th or an inversion of that chord to pad it out into something fuller
@@travisralph5284 You can get really good at playing melody to the guitar chords, but just not playing to the guitar is way easier (in the sense you can get away with playing much straighter rhythms) and is just as interesting done right.
Love that Em9 chord, especially with adding also 7th D on 5th string (E B Fis G D E on guitar) . Nice to think that it contains the chords mentioned. Thanks.
Great that you mentioned Peter Hooks playing! Nice fact: he developed his higher on the neck playing because his shitty bass amplifier didn't respond well to lower tones. This really makes me want to pick up the bass guitar. I prefer short scale. I want to play OM like basslines and combine it with shoegaze walls of guitar B-)
Been in a shoegaze/screamo band playing bass over a year now and I’ve been searching for a video like this ever since. Found this really really helpful, thank you Kev !
Slowdive in general has a lot of good strong bass lines.... obvs the dub-influenced Souvlaki Space Station but also Shine, Celia's Dream, Bleed, Silver Screen, Blue Skied an Clear... just to name a few more tracks.
When I was in my old band" Tapping The Vein" , we were a different breed from shoegaze but my background in 80s, goth, new wave added to the music to hopefully make it original😉 I love experimenting with different sounds and rhythms
I remember that I had enjoyed what I heard from Tapping The Vein, if I recall, Patrick Rogers turned me on to you guys! 90s goth scene was very fruitful for it's mish-mash of post-punk, goth, new wave, ethereal dream-pop and shoegaze influences all mixed together, along with some industrial and electro thrown in for good measure!
Thanks for this. The rhythm for Shoegaze is often overlooked. It's not just spacey wooshy guitar. Without a tight hypnotic drum and bass for them to glide over it's just not the same.
Shoegazing bass is very prominent in classic Shoegaze songs. The Cure, especially on Disintegration were a huge bass influence. A great example is Boo Radleys “Finest Kiss” and of course MBV, Ride, Lush, Chapterhouse and Slowdive all have essential bass moments.
🍭Hey everybody, I always wanted to talk about shoegaze bass lines with you guys. The video is 30min long and contains some more detailed information about my guitar production methods as well. There are also two crazy sounding audio glitches that I couldn't get rid of. Technology has it's own will sometimes. 🤖 But what shoegaze music fan doesn't love glitchy sounds, right? 👽 🍭 If you like this video, feel free to leave me a like and a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts. P.S.: You can skip to every song you like by using my time sheet in the video description. There you'll also find links to all the music that I talk about. If you like the VST plugins and pedals that I use - feel free to use my affiliate links. That way you can support the quality of my upcoming video content.
As both a bassist and a guitarist, I've found that sometimes a song calls for a simple roots bassline, sometimes it calls for more. It all depends on the feel of the song. A song like Just Like Heaven, for example, is an excellent song, one of the greatest songs by the Cure, and it is just the root notes. Same for Pictures of You for the most part. It's just all what the song desires. When I start a song on bass, the bassline is more involved. When I start it on guitar, it usually is less involved.
👍 ! An important point and very well described, Kenneth ! It shows, sometimes there is much more to it, than just guitarlayers - and also this continues with the rythm/drum sections, as you know. MBV never would have been, what it is, without O'Ciosoig's incredible drums.
Feed Me With Your Kiss has the best and nastiest bass tone I think I've heard in any song, ever. mbv in general have some really underappreciated bass tones and lines (You Made Me Realize, I Only Said, etc)
I was surprised when I realized that there were no guitar chords being played in Only Shallow - all of that guitar chord-like sound comes from the bassline.
This is the episode I’ve been waiting for. I put together a pedal board based on your suggestions, but I want to play bass. This was inspiring and insightful. Thank you.
Check out Pigs by Just Mustard, shoegaze but with a focus on bass and drums with the guitars adding atmosphere and tension, most interesting shoegaze band about today by a mile.
Wow, that was rly great! I have never mentioned this genre before, for me as a bass player who rly love funk/ disco/ rock and all that stuff, shoegase was smth like fcking noise. But now, u opened my eyes, i'm very impressed, thank u a lot!
Peter Hook was perfect for Joy Division and New Order he is very melodic and creative. Simon Raymonde is a very creative bass player he fits perfect for Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil. He used 4, 8 and 10 string basses.
you should check out “Leisure” by Blur, the only time they stuck to the “shoegaze” sound. any bassline by Alex James on that album eat all these up. Check out “she’s so high” “High Cool” or “Down” for some cool examples!
In 2002 I listened to that album almost every day. I think my shoegaze obsession started with Blur and especially that album. Their album 13 made me a Fuzz-Addict.
SHOEGAZER crazy, in 2002 i was being born haha, i’ve dug it since last year super cool album but yes totally, 13 is great and every album after leisure is a totally different beast. Blur is fantastic! Cheers!
I love this guy's videos. Not only are they really well put together and informative. He never fails to crack me up at some point with his deadpan humor.
It's the first time I've heard this genre of music. It's weird. I like it but also really don't like it but kinda just want to keep listening to it anyway. What a great video. You answer a lot of questions that people would usually leave out and leave for comments. like explaing the guitars sound etc. And thanks so much for linking all the songs!!! I was looking them up myself when part way you said you had them in the description. So cheers for that.
some time ago i started to try making my own music but for a few months i couldn’t make anything i was happy with but watching this video helped me so much and gave so much inspiration. I actually thought shoegaze is a completely different genre and i never listened to any of it but it’s actually pretty awesome. Thank you so much! :))
Your bedroom looks so dreamy! I enjoyed this episode!!! Kenneth! The bass in shoegaze is the best!!! I been considering buy the drop pedal by digitech... But back at the video it's super cool!!! the glitches are always the best option and the historic details... Learned a lot thanks Kenneth Greetings!
Loved to see Cocteau Twins highlighted here! Will Heggie is indeed an excellent bassist. Would love to know your thoughts on Simon Raymonde’s lush bass playing on later Cocteau Twins records.
Great video! I like more elaborate bass lines, myself, so it was good to see this subject get a good treatment. The whole time I was watching the first half, I kept thinking, "Yeah, he should mention Soundpool in this video, and if he doesn't, I'll have to suggest it in the comments." And THEN...! 😆
Really interesting. I am a very new acoustic guitar player. I like a lot of the shoegaze bands, but I don't know that I'll ever even try to play like them. Still I really enjoyed this video and how well you explained some difficult and obscure concepts. I am inspired!
I like the green screen effects. Also great mentions. I want to call attention to Sway by Spool, there's a moment where the bass takes the lead and it's so uplifting
“Nothing Natural” by Lush has a wonderful driving, repetitive bassline played by Steve Rippon. “Monochrome” is excellent, too. I believe Emma Anderson wrote the bass parts, though
Thanks for the inspiration on the bass. I usually start with a guitar and drum beat and leave the bass as an after thought as my last recording step. Been wanting to do a bass driven track. Thanks!
my favourite dude who cuts though in shoegaze is Adi Vines, the old bass player for Swervedriver. He had a massively grindy distorted tone that sounded awesome, and definitely can be heard right alongside the guitars. Check out Son Of Mustang Ford, excellent bass in there. Unfortunately, he left before they recorded their second album Mezcal Head, only appearing on their first EPs/album ( and i think on an ep recently comprised of old recordings )
Bloodhail from Have a Nice Life has a MASTERFUL bass
Indeed. For me it is the greatest part of the song.
As a bassist who's just diving into shoegaze this came out at the perfect time
Shoot I wasn't before but I am now.
Saaame

I was kinda expecting this all to go over my head as a beginner, but some of this seems like stuff I can actually use. Nice!
Absolutely. Many bass lines are reall easy to play and don't go crazy with complexity.

This really makes me want to pick up the bass guitar. I prefer short scale. I want to play OM like basslines and combine it with shoegaze walls of guitar B-)
That's awesome. I love musicians who make the most of crappy equipment they have - it usually leads to something more unusual and creatively engaging.
He also used a Fender bass VI, which is a 6 string bass tuned like a guitar but an octave lower
Horror head by curve has a gem of a bassline
Actually wanted to include it. But there was just not enought time. :)

Souvlaki space station wouldn't sound nearly as good without the bass line driving the spacey guitar
Slowdive in general has a lot of good strong bass lines.... obvs the dub-influenced Souvlaki Space Station but also Shine, Celia's Dream, Bleed, Silver Screen, Blue Skied an Clear... just to name a few more tracks.
I love the bass part on "Leave Them All Behind" by Ride. It's really what drives the song.
This is on the highest level and quality of information I've ever seen come from the shoegaze scene
Also the bass in Souvlaki Space Station is amazing
When I was in my old band" Tapping The Vein" , we were a different breed from shoegaze but my background in 80s, goth, new wave added to the music to hopefully make it original😉 I love experimenting with different sounds and rhythms

"Leave it all behind" by Ride. Grade A shoegaze bass

That bass line on SPRING is killer! Especially at the breakdown. Therefore you are fully qualified to author this video.
Wow so much work went into this video. Truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!💜
As an indie bass player and a fan of shoegaze, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. 👏👏👏

You could use "coast is clear" from Curve as an example of great bass on shoegaze. Special the live version in manshester
Awesome you covered Seefeel and Astrobrite, love them. Do you like Dive from Japan their album Early Sonic June? really underrated imo.
Awesome teaching format and highly inspiring, Kenny. Had to immediately grab my bass ;-). You have a gift!
the drop nineteens bassline is a 100% dead ringer for the house track 'remember me' by blueboy.

Tony's bass in Curve begs to differ.
That is so true!

yeah all these songs kill, and some of the bass hooks add an interesting almost indescribable harmonic element

“Nothing Natural” by Lush has a wonderful driving, repetitive bassline played by Steve Rippon. “Monochrome” is excellent, too. I believe Emma Anderson wrote the bass parts, though

I think Peppermint Pig was one of the last couple of Cocteau Twins songs with Will Heggie on bass.
Thanks for the info. I didn't know. :)
No problem. :)
Awesome content as always. Keep it up!
Correct-Will played bass on that EP.
Came here to say this ;)
Queen Yield by Dimphonic has a great, simple bassline that I've fallen in love with
Also a very simple but super cool bass line in that sonic context. His voice is really Deftone-like. :)
