I'm sure I'm answering my own question, just want confirmation (or contradiction). I've read that the bass player and drummer lock in and synch with each other. But if there is no drummer, just the bass player and one or two guitars... rhythm and lead... do the bass player and rhythm...

I see posts asking for tabs for this or that song, and I'm wondering... Are the tabs being asked for the exact tabs (or as close as possible) to the original recording, or are they tabs/chord sheets for the whole song to make up a bass line? I ask because I have made up my own bass lines...

I ran into a bit of a brick wall in keeping up with chord changes because I was trying to play a bass note for every beat of that chord in a measure. Specifically I'm talking about Night Moves. I wrote the bass line myself based on the chords. For the most part it's accurate, since I compared...

I alluded to this in another post, but here's the full thing. Rock On by David Essex is admittedly a strange but cool song. I love the "bassy-ness" and "reverby-ness" of it. Anyway: http://www.sheetmusicdirect.us/ecom/sellableGoodView.do?fit2w=1&itemId=1000048483 I'd like to do some kind...

I have two steady years' guitar under my belt, and about 40 years on and off of fidoodling around with with "light" musical experience in high school and college courses, then some guitar, put away for another 20-30 years. I picked up (rhythm) guitar in earnest two years ago. I've had lessons...

I have the 15 amp bass amp that came with my SX BG2K bass package. Is there any reason I could not use it to amp the Ibanez AEB10 or AEB5 (I prefer the AEB10 :smug: ) if I wanted to, well, play it plugged in. This is the AEB10 I want: For bedroom or living room playing it is...

1. If your rhythm guitarist is capoed, would you capo the bass? 2. If your rhythm guitarist is tuned down, would you tune down? 3. I know these are probably stupid questions. :hiding:

I'm just 5 weeks into learning bass, and have been using a few pre-written tabs, which even I can say are pretty bad. I've done a lot of tweaking of them. For now I've been playing it (no pun intended) safe and using R, discovering that some chord progressions share notes, so I can either...

I just want to see if I got this right, or am missing something. I know tabs are the devils' own work, but sometimes ya gotta do it. I found just about the only bass tab on the interwebz for Sundown. I was playing with my own but it didn't come out right at all wrt the recording. Near...

To me and many people it's a great song. However, as I am trying to learn it on guitar, and now create a bass line (there is one on the webz which I think sucks worse than mine), I'm finding it's not all that easy. GH changes keys 3 times, with slight momentary key changes, at least as far as...

I know that at this point I can't go wrong with R 3 5 (R b3 5 for minor) or R if the measure a chord is playing is short, and the song is 4/4, blah blah blah... I have been noodling around with Night Moves and Instant Karma. For each one I am using the root notes and playing the bassline...

Sorry this got long. I've been chirping about my very first bass I got the other day, an early Christmas present. :) I watched the dvd that came with it... a very basic intro to bass and technique. I learned how to hold the bass and position and use my right hand fingers (which are...

I got the SX BG2K LPB Bass Guitar and Amp Package for Christmas. It came yesterday; I was allowed to open it and set it up. I tuned it and played a few riffs from Come Together. The color is actually a deeper metallic blue. I have a long way to go to become proficient; I feel like...

For guitar I use Ultimate Guitar, for the most part. Some chord sheets are really pretty good, others are "why did this person even bother?" quality. I occasionally see bass tabs. And since I don't yet have or play bass, I haven't paid too much attention to what songs include the bass tabs...

I don't play bass but I want to learn. I've been learning guitar for the past almost-two years, after a 20 year hiatus (which was a stupid thing to do). My likes in music range from classic rock (primarily) to western classical, Indian classical, and pretty much everything, except rap. I...
