Presentation transcript:

Bass Line Bass line should be a walking bass pattern. That was the style at the time this was recorded. For guitar this is the place to start. Later musicians on guitar added chords in while they played the bass.

Here it is in first position Here it is in first position. Try to push it a bit so that it is right on the beat or a bit early!

Look at the line Notice that it starts on the Root! Also that it is almost all ¼ notes with some 1/8th notes thrown in. It goes from chord tone to chord tone with some chromatic or scale wise passages. Chord tones are the 1, b3, 5, and b7 for Dm7 it is D, F, A, and C. Note also that the main notes in the bass line are the chord tones with the root (1) as the most common tone.

Starting here in mainly 5th position.

Create your own bass lines Look closely at what Paul Chambers did and create your own basslines. I only wrote out the first few measures. It would be good for you to write out the rest of the measures and really analyze it! Remember you can take just one or two measures and repeat them over and over again!
