the background progression on the 1's I am assuming that is a keyboard but what kind of effects is it running through?

So me and my drummer have finally found a guitarist that we like to hang out with and play with. He gave us a song that he can jam along to and play but cant really keep it prefect. We want to spell out the beat for him so we can all play along with a metronome and keep it in time. It is played...

After about 8 months of jamming around on the bass and never really learning any songs this is the first song I am attempting to learn all the way through. Its a very interesting experience and really makes me rethink the kind of bassist and styles I want to actually start studying.

I dont know if this is the properly place to ask and a quick search gave poor results for what I was looking for specifically. So anyways I am in a beginning piano class and we are learning to sight read (something that is new to me but I now see the importance). When it comes to jumping...

I understand what your example means but I dont understand why it is harmonized that way. Is that the only way to harmonize a c major scale or did you just pick to do it that way. If that is the only way does it transfer the same way to other scales so a D major would harmonize as...

Right now I am going through a scale both, major and minor, a day during my practice time and memorizing all the root notes and patterns to a T. Then I am also going to take chords and memorize the arpeggios for each chord associated with that root note. Obviously I cant go over ever variation...

If you want some easy first songs try Island in the Sun by Weezer Take it Easy by the Eagles One Headlight by the Wallflowers Cant Explain by the Who not to hard from a technical standpoint so you can focus on learning the different parts and throwing them all together while still...

I felt the same way, I had alot of trouble getting the timing to songs down when listening to ear so I could never force myself to learn a whole song. I would just practice my left and right hand technique alot and never really have a good sense of timing. The thing that really saved me was I...

ohhh I like the vomit drill thanks, that one is really helpful for my ears too

I have been playing since January and I have been working on my timing but I realized one thing I have neglected is working on shifting. I can play in good time in any one spot but I lose all accuracy and timing when I try and shift. So my question is what are some good songs that have a decent...

I am new to bass and I was looking at http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/l/led_zeppelin/bring_it_on_home_ver3_btab.htm I see tabs with alot shifting and is there any difference in the sound you will create if you were to play the 7th fret B on the E string as opposed to the 2nd fret B on...
