Killerfridge Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Just thought I would post my attempted cover of Spain, using 3 basses Sounds a bit muddy in places, but I am fairly happy with how it came out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_YD1ZUyQdY Quote
Bilbo Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Great fun. My suggestion on the head would be to watch where your notes [i]end[/i] as well as where they start. You will get better phrasing if you play some of the notes shorter and tighter. Also, the background bass would sound more authentic if you played alternate deadened notes alongside the held ones - the phrasing of latin bass is supposed to replicated the surdo (bass drum) in samba and they play one short note followed by a long one. It gives the rest of the groove more space. Hope that makes sense. But, in a nutshell, great video, great concept. Quote
JakeBrownBass Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Yeah I agree with Bilbo, the notes are there but the note length choices have seemed to miss the groove. Was the track recorded with any sort of click track? It may just be me but some parts sound rushed & others seem to slow down. There's some nice ideas developing in the solo section, keep at it Edit: I think it would really benefit from some sort of rhythm section. Edited January 10, 2012 by JakeBrownBass Quote
