NoWordsJustMusic #1 Bass Tutorial: play along with Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son
(just click on the image and play along)
You know, the piano player can play a C chord on the piano, but it’s only a C chord if I play C on the bass. - Sting
In general, the role of the bass player is underestimated. They are never in the center, you often find them in the back and in general they do not really attract attention. I think it was high time that the bass gets more attention. Hence this series.
How do I select the songs? First and foremost, I look if I can learn something from it. Play along with songs is for me one of the best ways to delve into writing a good bass line. You learn to use the right chords, you discover new styles and you develop your own technique.
The other reason is simple: I am always looking for cool bass lines and often can not wait to learn them.
Join me and play along. No words, just music!
