How to Play Blues Bass

This method is designed for both the bassists and drummers and its purpose is to help them play together in almost all major musical styles: Rock Blues Funk Rhythm and Blues Disco/Dance Reggae Latin music etc... The many grooves presented here even if they can be practised alone are intended to be played in a band or at least by a bass/drum duo either on stage or in a studio or simply among friends. Each example displays the bass line along with its tab and the drum score just below allowing to situate each instrument in relation to the other. In this way the grooves can easily be read and analysed from both perspectives. For each style you will begin practisingone bar then two bar patterns... before tackling longer and more complex grooves. To put this into application all you will have to do is use your own chord changes or those you like as well as play the patterns you find interesting over these chords. On the CD the bass examples are played on the left channel and the drums examples on the right channel. With a centred sound balance you will be able to hear both instruments!

What awaits you here' No one- or two-bar riffs and licks but complete chord progressions performed in the style of illustrious blues Guitar players such as Otis Rush B.B. King Eric Clapton Freddie King Buddy Guy Albert King Stevie Ray Vaughan or Magic Sam! In the preliminary chapter of this tutorial you will first be taught how to piece basslines together in blues. This wonâ??t only allow you to comprehend the 50 basslines presented here but in a second step it will also enable you to create your own ones. For that you need to learn about structure rhythm arpeggios scales chromaticapproaches ... in sum to get to know blues by delving into it! The DVD included in the tutorial offers you the possibility to mindfully observe all 50 basslines â?? first at actual playing speed then at a slower speed. This again gives you the opportunity to closely follow the movement of the hands to choose the right fingerings and keep a steady beat(!) For its part the MP3 CD is composed of as many backing tracks as there are basslines in the tutorial; the 50 backing tracks are recorded at two different tempi: the intended tempo (actual playing speed) and the rehearsal tempo (slower speed). On the backing track at actual playing speed the bass is only present during the first round then it disappears yielding the floor to you. The backing tracks provided here are of an appropriate length (about 4 to 5 minutes each which sums up to almost 7h of musical practice). This means that you have enough time at your disposal to practice under the best conditions.

Play-Along Tracks For Developing Your Blues Bass Performnace Skill. Par ROSE FRANK DE. Welcome to the School of the Blues Lesson Series!

Music examples are kept fairly simple to make sure this book is accessible to bass players just above the beginning level.

Cette méthode se différencie des autres car elle est entièrement basée sur la pratique ! Ici, pas de riffs ou de plans d'une ou deux mesures, que des grilles complètes dans le style des plus grands bluesmen (Otis Rush, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Magic Sam...). Avant d'aborder les 50 lignes de basse Blues que comporte cette méthode, vous passerez par un chapitre préliminaire dont la vocation est de vous enseigner comment construire des lignes de basse dans le style.?Pour être capable d'analyser celles qui sont présentées par la suite, bien sûr, mais aussi pour vous permettre dans un second temps de créer les vôtres. Il y sera donc question de structure, de rythme, d'arpèges, de gammes, d'approches chromatiques... bref, d'apprendre le Blues par le Blues ! Le DVD Vidéo permet d'entendre et de visualiser l'ensemble des 50 lignes dans le détail, à vitesse normale puis au ralenti, vous donnant ainsi la possibilité d'effectuer les bons gestes, de choisir les bons doigtés et de jouer rythmiquement 'en place? ! Le CD mp3 est pour sa part composé d'autant de playbacks qu'il n'y a de lignes de basse. Soit 50 playbacks, joués à deux tempi différents : le tempo d'objectif (vitesse réelle) et le tempo de travail (vitesse lente).?Sur le playback à vitesse réelle, la basse est présente lors de la première tournerie puis s'efface pour vous laisser la place ! Enfin, ces playbacks sont volontairement de longue durée (3 à 4 minutes chacun, soit plus de 7h de musique en tout !), pour vous donner le temps de vous exercer dans les meilleures conditions possibles. / Guitare Basse
