Faithless Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) So, a girl-singer from academy wants to do it for some jazz competition.. here it's on Tube: I gave it a listen, first impression -nothing fancy, but, in the intro.. I don't get, on which beat bass groove starts on (beginning of the song).. And, it seems that there are some odd meters (I'm not sure) - could somebody comment a bit on all this? Also, I don't know yet, if chaps in my band have functions/chord sheets, anyway, could somebody help me with chords, Bilbo, anyone? I'd like to work out bass part, and it would be 10 times easier with chords.. I believe I wouldn't find them in chordie.com.. I'm sorry for all these 'demands', but they now want me to rehearse the song on Saturday, so, I'm under stress a bit.. Regards, Faith.

Owen Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) No charts from me, but the bass plays on up-beat on the 4th crotchet and then instead of hitting the 1 in the next bar brings it forward to play it on the last quaver of the bar before. Effectively playing the two quavers in the 4th beat of the up-beat and tying the 2nd quaver to the begining of the next bar. It sounds odd because the bass on its own has no actual "1" playing so you automatically presume it is actually being played on the "1". The real crime is that she sings and plays at the same time. It's not right. Edited January 28, 2010 by owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Listen to the drums. It's pretty straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
