SumOne Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I love simple basslines, one that springs to mind is the main bass riff from 'come together'. McCartney might have recorded 100s of quite complex basslines but those simple few notes are as memorable and impactful as any. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Pretty much the same all the way through. Played this in one band, always went down well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Observation: two different interpretations of "few notes" going on here. Some mean not having many different notes - e.g Public Image has only four different notes, but played 8 to the bar in every single bar of the song. Some mean having lots of space between the notes - e.g Walking on the Moon which plays 3 notes followed by a huge gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knirirr Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 For the "not many different notes" interpretation, I offer this. Very relaxing after a jazz woodbine, I'm told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Most of this is three notes - there's a passing B on the verses. And of course there's just three notes almost all the way through this, there's three passing Fs through the song and the occasional octave G in the outro: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
