A bass line is a great place to start when writing music, but it's too easy to get stuck in a box and forget how versatile a simple boring bass line can be. In this lesson/demonstration we'll be experimenting with transforming a single bass line into 5 different genres of music by using different techniques.
Special thanks to Roger Reupert for playing the lick for me in this video!

Chords of Minor: • How to write Chords an...

It also helped me appreciate THIS CHANNEL even more: While yes, it's a theory/composer channel, because he mostly uses a guitar, I figured that was his only real knowledge base (and so took away, personally, it's easiest to write with a guitar, or at least with traditional instruments). But it helps show that theory/composer knowledge can be applied EVERYWHERE! I know it may seem obvious to some, but it just helps ground that fact even more!

A good bassist knows when to just hang back and when to take the stage. There's a lot of technically advanced music out there where the bass gets as much air time as the lead guitar and it *usually* sounds awful. Not always though. Sometimes it's written just right, so everyone is supporting everyone, rather than everyone masturbating with their instrument as they see fit :P But really, most of the absolutely nifty/funky/groovy/sexy bass licks out there were given the space needed to shine.

@@salty_3k506 Funny that you mention Primus, as they're sometimes (not always) guilty of what I said above. You need to be acutely aware whether you're making music for "normal listeners" or if you're making music for "other musicians". There's nothing wrong with either. But if you do the latter, don't put up a surprised Pikachu face if the former tap out and say "Dude! Too much going on at the same time!".

@salty_3k506 Жыл бұрын

@@andersjjensen i didn't say that they make music for casual listeners and i don't think that they should. Their music is unusual but the instruments still support each other and interact in really interesting ways. Also, could you maybe show some songs where the bass sounds awful just because it gets more screentime? Because to me, those two things aren't connected. A song needs to be constructed around something like a lead bass but that's on the writing, not on the bass.

I'd really like to see a video on how important Timbre is to a composition, I feel like it's often very understated, but this video really made me think about it. All these people here chasing "what scale do I use for this sound" or "what chord progression do I use for this mood" are all barking up the wrong tree. Instrumentation, arrangement, production, and so on are just as important, if not more so, for these types of things. Seeing you do all those different genre arrangements really made me think about this.

A good example of the pedalling concept in action is during Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall Pt 2" during the guitar solo. The bass just keeps playing the same thing, while chord changes are layered on top by the organ. When your bassist whines that "it's too simple" - just slap them and remind them that they are a BASSIST :)
