Thanks for correcting me once again. Hey Packman. anything besides timing you can give me as far as tips to make it sound better? I am also learning to mute as well.

 

[g00eY]

you asked for input and that's what they gave you.

Pacman

to me everything sounds ok. You have decent tone. You really must work on the timing though. Does your instructor(s) make you use a metronome?

 

[Pacman]

Start with time. Work with a metronome. Play scales in halves, quarters, eighths, eighth-note triplets, and 16ths. Learn to "bury the click". Time is the absolutely most important thing for a bass player.

Thanks. Thank means a lot from you. and Yes I know who James Brown is, hes an Honeray Blues Brother. and a hall of famer as well. I like his style music. Thanks again.

Instead of being defensive and rude you could actually take my advice. Go back to those early recordings and learn the songs by ear. It will give you the timing and tone control that you will need. Besides, most of the scales they use are the more common ones (Blues, Major, Minor, Mix) so you will be able to use that deeper knowledge in your solo stuff.

Hey Gang if I want to put up a new mp3 of my destruction Bay instrumental song? and I don't want to start a new thread. will people come to this one? if I bump it once in a while?

 

[a00nick]

Like you were trying to play with no time.

hehehehe..... no comment

 

[Bluez Dawg]

Hey gang what about this one? I really practiced hard. and I've messed up like twice. one is I forgot to pluck the a string hehe. and the other is I slid a little to long and got out of time, but as you noticed I got right back in time very quickly.

Well, you've located the beat! But you're not playing on it about 40% of the time. However, you're improving and that's what's important. Keep working on it, I'd suggest slowing down a whole bunch.

So should I not use the drum machine that comes with the bp50 from digitech? even though it says its a 60 tempo? I have a feeling it's a lot faster then 60?. and thanks. I've been trying hard and It's starting to pay off I think.

i agree with this analysis
you are doing much better at finding the beat, and you found a better sound for your bass...but that loop definatly isn't 60 bpm...that must be the patch name or something

It'sa patch yes. So should I buy a real drum amchine? the one you can program the beat your self?

 

[superbassman2000]

you probably can program the one you've got


you've got a BP80 right?
if so, read page 23

Is there a tempo control that you can change? Just slow it down, start where it's uncomfortably slow. Then work to nail each note to a click from the drum machine. Gradually - gradually - increase the tempo.
