solo4652 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Options: F root - octave throughout (really?) until "Throw those curtains wide..." outro, when you play root - octave for the F, Eb, Bb sequence or Play root-octave for the F, Bb, C (G?), Bb sequence in the verses, F root-octave between verses, then root-octave for the F, Eb, Bb sequence in the "Throw those curtains wide ..." outro. Personally, I prefer the second approach, but the "official" bassline seems to be the first one. What do we think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Option one, mainly because in the original song the bass line supports the string section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathy Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I always went for option one, mainly because this makes the outro more impactive. I recall that Elbow's bass player plays a keyboard on this one live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
