RE: practice bass

in #practice5 years ago
  • First time working on "how Insensitive", I thought it was ok. Perhaps some more fluidity, like some ascending scales up into thumb position. It should be more familiar by the end of the week.
  • Also the first time working on "Pent Up House", not quite up to speed yet. I thought I should leave Antonio's comments there... (trumpet player, stays in my studio sometimes) he likes to speak his mind. And I agree with him. On an up tempo song the line becomes 'straighter'. Actually we had a listen after and the first part of the line is very straight, but the "bu-dap, bu-dap" is leaning more towards a triplet.

Makes me think I should really be listening more to the phrasing of the melodies.

Another note, I'd like to add some articulation to some of the melodies too. Perhaps mess around with a few ideas.
