MusicLover20015 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 You come to a session with different people. You all choose the chords you want to work over. How would you carry on to improve your bassline, from roots 3rds 5ths octaves, somethings you studied randomly and such ? what would you guys do ?

tommorichards Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 i pick up little things here and there from songs i learn, but probably just listen and see which notes sound good when played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike257 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I like to take elements of other melody parts within the song, like following or echoing the vocal line in short passages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicLover20015 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Good suggestions guys I also pick up random bits from songs i learnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademan_98 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Go with the groove and stay in key with lots of passing notes........ If the chord progression flows well, I like to play the changes if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
