Howdy
I’m cooking! Having such fun with this now that I don’t feel dumber than dumb and I am starting to be able to make noises that sound OK.
Whenever I listen to music now, I’m hearing the bassline – previously, I would always listen and hear the melody (actually – more the harmonies). Last night I played air bass to a song called Last Days of Rome- an extremely dirty bassline- it made my wrist hurt! This was followed by air bass to Seal’s Human Being – f**king gorgeous tune and delightful bassline. I’ve been playing around with this bassline today – haven’t mastered it yet, but have got the gist of it. Have also found a website that has bass tabs for stacks of songs – it’s like a treasure trove of basslines.
Only did 30 minutes playing today as have been pottering and stalling too much today and have a friend coming round for tea, but I reckon I’ve done my time and some with listening to basslines and researching them on the tinterweb. I love making up my own rules!
