[Music] Creating a bass line
Posted by: darthfrodo101 <darthfrodo101@...>
I'm pretty sure that the subject says it all. I wouldn't exactly call myself
a "root-whacker", but I definitely know that my lines can be much better. My
main question is not necessarily "what" but "how". I have a few songs that
have a good bass line, however, the line wasn't made by me. I want to be
able to take a song and play it in such a way that it is "mine". I've
noticed a good number of threads asking about certain parts of a tasteful
line; for example the recent and on-going "chords" discussion.
I have noted that the quesiton of thirds and fifths is mentioned quite
frequently. One question that I do have is primarily where to put them. I
can figure out where the third and fifth is but I don't know how to
tastefully use them. Is there a certain rule or guideline that should be
followed?
TIA for the help!
