A cattapilar dos November 3, 2010
Guitar players always get attention for playing a few notes really really fast. As a bass player, playing a lot of good notes is more important than going fast.
Funky, Reggae, Disco – the difference March 16, 2010
- Funky – one member in the band is on the off beat – hitting more 16th notes before and after the beat
- Reggae – bass player, never play the on the 1
- Disco – everyone in the band is on the same off beat

9th chords are funky.. 13th are the same way.. you should substitute the 1 with 9th or 13th and see how it sounds.

Feeling the Bass August 19, 2009
Everyone tells me I have to feel the bass. I read about it a bit. Flea (Chili pepper) say when he play his bass, he can actually feel the guitar vibrate without even plugging in. I have a $400 ibanez; so, I can feel very little. But, here is what I found. Instead of pressing the strings, if you grab on to them (as if your fingers are hanging from the strings) you can start to FEEL it.
So, feeling the bass really means “play it with some authority”
Where should the bass player stand on stage? June 14, 2009
I leaned that the bass player should stand to the side of the drummer on the high hat side. The high hat is your time keeper.
Bass player is not a guitar player June 12, 2009
So, I learned that the bass player is more a pal of the drummer than another guitar player. Bass player is not there to play the lower notes for the guitar player; but, to keep the groove going.
Why I started playing bass June 10, 2009
I have played the guitar for quite some time. Well, I tought myself. So, I have a long while to go.
