ok, peoples, before you blaze me away, please hear me out... So I know conventional teaching would state that when the chord strikes A minor, your proper functioning as bassist is to play the root (A). Now, I know this is most common, however, in theory if you know the song is in A minor...

Hello all, I hope I posted this in the right category... Anywho... I'm trying to create a full length track that has a South/Latin American feel. I'm creating everything in a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). Most everything will be done electronically besides the bass. I will record myself...

Most of my basslines followed the same sequence: R, 5th, 3rd, Octave, R, etc... They followed the same format regardless of what root note I was playing. I think this is bc I'm trying to adhere as to the "music theory" approach to playing. i.e. I keep hearing how 5ths and 3rds need to be at the...

I was thinking about picking up the newest version of guitar rig for my bass and my electric guitar. Does anyone have any experience using Guitar Rig for their bass and/or guitar? I wanted to get some real cool distorted synth tones for my bass; is this possible with guitar rig? My main...

Hello all, I'm a basic guy (not a pro!) that likes to jam and make my own musical compositions on my own time when I have free time. I play guitar and bass and use a loop pedal to make some cool stuff. Long story short; I NEED DRUMS! My loop pedal (Boss RC3) provides 9 drum pre-sets and...

Hello all, I'd like to purchase a bass pedal which will allow me to make some cool bass synth tones and possibly add some grit to them (via distorition or overdrive perhaps). I've heard mixed reviews on bass synth pedals in general saying tracking is an issue etc. I was on youtube and saw...

Does anyone have a link or tabs to this song. The bass line sounds so darn good and I'd love to be able to play it. THANKS!

As the title would suggest: how do I find the root note when the guitarist has a capo on his guitar? i.e. I'm wanting to play along to Counting Crows - Amy Hit the Atmosphere. The capo is on 1 making it in the key of F. The chords in the main verse are as follows: E, A, F#m, A, E, A, F#m, B...

I'm new to the bass and music theory in general although i have played guitar for the better part of my life. I have a question that has kind of stumped me... I've learned that the I, IV, and V chord are the most used chords in any key. However, I'm not sure why the major pentatonic removes the...

Hello, I'm a new bassist that has switched over from many years playing guitar. I was never one to read up on theory or play scales etc. Ever since I began playing bass I decided to learn scales and immerse myself in music theory to become the best bassist possible. So far it's been...

I just purchased a Boss Bass Synthesizer (SYB-5)- I'm also new to bass playing (have played guitar for a while). Anyways... I'm not getting the best sound out of my pedal as I've hoped. I'm not sure if its my set up thats limiting my sound. The problem I'm having is that the effect isn't...

Hey guys (first time poster), I've played electric guitar most of my life and I'm going to be buying my first bass and bass amp this weekend. I was hoping you could share some advice or reccomendations for certain brands to check out, basses to play (when I'm at guitar center), certain...
