TimR Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 [quote name='charic' timestamp='1341476965' post='1719494'] just thought I would confuse matters Good point on the naming though... I've decided I'm going to start calling it a dodective [/quote] You'll have to change all the others too. Minor third becomes a 4th, third becomes a 5th, fourth becomes a 6th, fifth becomes a 7th will all be very confusing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Totally depends on the kind of music you are playing - it doesn't suit everything. In previous bands there would be some root octave stuff in just about every song. Some songs were built almost entirely around root octave patterns. However in the Terrortones basslines there are less than a handful of root octave patterns in the entire set. Given the right song it is fantastic!

charic Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Yeah I don't think root octave really fits with Cerberus Cell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icastle Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I don't use them much at the moment, but that's more of a genre issue than anything else. Interspersing the run with alternate doubled up (or more) octaves is rather nice as well if your fingers are nimble enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charic Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Actually think about it I do octave up artificial harmonics in a couple of tracks but that might make it root - 2nd or 3rd octave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I've no idea what the interval is, but my favourite is same fret, two strings up. So, 5th fret E, 5th fret D, for instance. What's that then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) It's the sort of sound I usually associate with J Taylor in Duran Duran stuff (choruses on Rio and Hungry Like The Wolf) or am I thinking of another pattern?

Low End Bee Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Here's one of mine. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeAUhTzuKq4&feature=g-all-u"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeAUhTzuKq4&feature=g-all-u[/url] We don't play it any more but it was fun to play live. All done with a plastic triangle. No right hand fingers were harmed. Any similarity between this and a bit of Atomic was only realised too late....

gary mac Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Got to agree Nige. It can be a very pleasing thing. I've taken to doing a root/octave thing at the end of the chorus on Billie Jean, so simple but my band mates think I'm genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
