FEBRUARY´s SHORT-CUT TICKET

Basic Bass., swollen strings. If you are a guitarplayer, you sometimes observed that there are important basslines in bottom of almost all music. In rock music it´s a must. What´s jazz without…., what´s JS Bach…. It´s historical. If you don’t know anything about writing basslines, it´s impossible to compose for real. You may do haunting lyrics, melodies, When it comes to execution, somebody must take it, the shitjob. Electric Bassguitars can be transported in a Wolkswagen beetle. Buy one today. Learn something about music. How to arrange. If you want to sound more believeable than a bathroomguitarplayer.

I remember the old Long-Playing record; “ A Journey into STEREO Sound “. The speaker said; “It´s like a game of tennis,... table tennis....PING(Right loudspeaker)…..or should I say PONG(Left loudspeaker)...

Yes, there´s two, each side of the table. Headline and bottomline.

Top melody line (maybe executed by you, the frog-dressed soloist, jumpin around like fire in your pants). On the other side of the table; Bass (the normal socially caretaking person, who motivates your musical existence). Together you create possibilities; to harmony...so long the bass wants to play with you.
