Lfalex v1.1 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Probably: "The Chain" - Fleetwood Mac (though for fingering only) "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Nirvana (lots miss the odd F# on the build into the chorus and is there an Ab in there somewhere?)

Oscar South Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I always improv the basslines in my covers bands by following what the guitar player is doing and eventually just memorising the harmonic structure and accents. At first I did it when I didn't have time to learn the songs properly but I got a lot of good feedback about how I was changing the songs and it makes it much more fun and characterful live so I've kept doing it. We're booked for a lot of gigs though so I figure it can't be too bad, watch out for us around Cheshire [url="http://www.myspace.com/lespeches"]http://www.myspace.com/lespeches[/url] . Unfortunately none of my bass parts are on that myspace yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
