iconic Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) ....why do I struggle on timing with a few simple songs, this UB-40 song is a real bugger for me....and don't laugh but I have the same problem on Duran Duran Hungry Like the Wolf of all things ....girls on film is no problem though I'm guessing it's the differing combination of notes lengths within the bar?...is there an online metronome for timing maybe? Forgive the bad spacing on the bars but the notes are arranged correctly Bass comes in after first bar of sax intro. main riff, repeat thro out with variations.

Jerry_B Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Have you had any experience of playing dub bass lines? It sounds like that sort of style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconic Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 dub....none at all, is there a technique of sorts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_B Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I play everything by ear, so I wouldn't know exactly. Try listening to Mad Professor & Jah Shaka (either their own stuff or what they've co-operated on). That might help - lots of it can be found on YouTube.
