Linus27 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) After seeing all the videos of people playing along to other peoples songs on YouTube, I thought I would have a go also for a laugh. I was going to do a U2 song as I know them like the back of my hand. However, after seeing a YouTube video of somebody playing one of my old bands songs, simply by having a camcorder pointing at the 7" single playing on a record player (why??), I thought why not record the bass line to that :) So, here it is. The song is called Radio Finland and is by my old band Inter. Your notice a few bum notes and all my bad habits, including my very naughty thumb which keeps over hanging the neck. Anyway, I found it quite fun to do and may do some other stuff later. Enjoy, if thats possible :) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTuOXm4jkCU"]CLICKY HERE[/url] Edited April 27, 2008 by Linus27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just something that a friend put up for fun although it does have some stuff from the album on there I think. Not looked at it for ages.

Its atually pretty hard as you think the important part is making sure the melody comes through but its more important that the bass bit is prominent enough to supoort the melody. Otherwise it all sounds a bit empty and less melodic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Nice one! Great bassline too, as has been said combines rhythm and melody well. How's the Bass Collection? Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca, loves playing it and is coming along well. She still lacks lots of confidence but it will come in time. Bass wise, the Bass Collection is superb.

Cantdosleepy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Like it a lot. Big fan of bass lines that have 12th fret action over a lower open string. Good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
