Hi, im just wondering if anyone could help me out with making a bass line more interesting, basically the song is

G G G G D D D D A A A A B B B B

Just wondering what you would do to make it more interesting ?
any ideas would be appreciated

Uhm... minor? major? diminished? augmented? tempo? context? dynamics? other instruments? rhythmic pattern?


We're not going to write basslines for you... that's kinda your job. And there is no way someone can tell me: G G G G D D D D A A A A B B B B and I'm going to write a GOOD bassline for them. Get a general understanding of music theory and it will be easy.

major , 4 4 timing and rythm and lead guitar

Something interesting?

Try this:

G||--------------------------|--------------4-----------|
D||--------5--------6--------|--------7--------3--------|
A||-----4-----4--5-----5-----|-----6-----6--------2-----|
E||--3--------------------4--|--5--------------------1--|

Basically move the following "shape" around to the appropriate note.

It may work, it may not. (based around Ionian I believe)

G:--------------------
D:--------4-5-4------
A:---2-5--------5-2--
E:-3------------------

thanks i appreciate that ;)

Mr. 'Angular', eh?
;)

...basically the song is

G G G G D D D D A A A A B B B B

Looks like a U2 line....or Better Than Ezra?

If that's the sorta feel & note choice 'required'...you can play the above as written 3 times through & then add this the 4th time-

GGGG F#F#F#F# EEEE DDDD

Only the "G" is a Root.
F# is the M3 of your "D"(assuming it's D Maj)
E is the 5th of your "A"
D is the m3 of your "B"(assuming it's B min)
