Sign in to disble this ad
Well basically thats it, i decided to start writing a bass-drum solo. I'm already about 1:50 in the solo and well I've hit a point where I'm stuck. I want the next line to be fast passed and/or fairly complex, kinda like a fill or something that would really lead to one. Problem is I can't, I thought of a good riff but it isn't really a nice little fill and it won't lead to one either. Hmmm I just can't think of a good riff that would sound right when going out of the last one I just did. Any tips on this and maybe getting riffs to sync in and fit better? |

...I just sensed I'm one of the few people who can read sheet music for Bass on this side.

But basically all I need are some tips, it comes out from a 16th note rush on the 3rd fret a string.
Should I use scales, arpeggios, modes? |
