@BecomeABassist When seeing a C chord on a lyric sheet how do you know what C octave to start with? Should you always assume the lowest octave? And without having heard a particular song before, how would you decide to play using whole, half, quarter, etc notes? Do you just get in rhythm with the drums and/or guitar?

Great question @adamgalbreath8063. There's no specific 'rules' about the range that you 'should' play any note, but in general, the lowest-sounding ones are going to be most common. If you play ones that are higher up on the bass, they can sound more light and delicate - which is exactly what you want sometimes - and lower, it's going to be more 'full'. As far as what rhythms to play, you essentially want to 'marry' what's happening with the rhythm instruments (drums/percussion etc.) with what's going on harmonically with the guitars/keys etc. If it's a song I've never heard or played, I'll keep it very simply at the start. Some of the time that means just playing the root notes of the chords in the rhythm of the kick drum like I talk about in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irNgfrWXxM2zqqc.html Other times, you can 'steal' rhythms from the harmony instruments as well. As long as you're supporting the song, playing in the pocket and providing a solid foundation for everyone, you'll be in a good place. I hope this helps Adam.

Thanks! That is the answer I was hoping for as that is what I have been doing but feared that it wasn't the 'right' way.@@BecomeABassist
