AndyBremner Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Hello fellow Bassists, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. I am doing a cover of the Red Hot Chili Peppers jam in Argentina 1999. I am however stuck on one part, I can't translate this little part from guitar to bass. Flea is basically playing a long with John. E|---------------- B|-----5------3--- G|---5------4----- D|---------------- A|---------------- E|-5------3------- I know the rest, but what would that be on bass? Thanks!!

The actual notes are A, C & E and G, B & D... Edited November 4, 2012 by andydye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first barre could be major or minor as written The second could be a C minor with G bass,maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed now The notes played are the 1, 3, 5 triad for each chord aren't they? Edited November 4, 2012 by andydye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldG Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I just pcked up my guitar to check, and I'm now pretty sure its A (or more likely Am) and G major. Edited November 4, 2012 by OldG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon G B D is the Gmajor triad so I'm sticking with my original thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
