What happens if a bass player applies a different rhythm to an establshed bass line? Can essentially the same notes, played in the same order give a totally different feel when a different rhythm is applied to them? We explore using two classic, very different, songs as examples!
Learn how to reuse a bass line that you already know and breathe new life into it.
Rhythm is the backbone of every bass line, but just how easy is it to take two songs with the exact same chord progression and give them a completely different musical treatment?
In this session we will be dissecting 2 songs that use every chord in a major key.
The resultant bass lines however, are completely different.
You’ll learn why and also learn how the magic is created.
It’s so easy, you’ll be doing the same in your own bass lines in no time at all.
This course is about taking bass lines that you already know and playing the notes with a totally different rhythm.
We take this approach and look at how different rhythms associated with various genres achieve similar affects.
Expand your knowledge of rhythm and how to use it to create ‘new’ bass lines out of what you already know well and can play with ease.
High Beginner to Intermediate bass players.
Some guitarists might learn from this approach!
The session is 60 minutes long; don’t expect to master everything during the session. The tutor will go through all the key parts, demonstrating them and discussing the associated techniques and know-how.
The real work is done by you afterwards. Armed with the materials (PDFs, backing tracks and video recording), you’ll have all the tools to work on things at your own pace.
When you book you’ll have two options:
1. You want to join the live Zoom session.
You’ll receive the joining instructions on the day. Being live, you’ll be able to put your own questions directly to the tutor during the session. Choose option 1, Live lesson and materials.
2. Maybe you’d like to attend but can’t make it on this occasion?
You can buy the materials and receive them after the session (i.e. lesson PDF(s) and access to a Zoom recording of the live session). Choose option 2, Materials only.
