Wow!!!I can't believe Fenix has not yet understood what Sjon was saying..even after being given a minute for the stuff to gel in
Fenix, all that sjon was saying is something like this:
Anyone who cannot recognise a fully diminished chord or the most basic & traditional gospel form of a 2-5-1 progression, will not FEEL THE GAP that the bassist is not there.
You just play your thing & don't throw any1 off, I promise you, every1 will be coming to you & telling you how sweet everything was
But then from there you need to learn how to split your board & play the simple basslines that you post here..if you have the rhythm, everything will sound super
Now the acapella thing comes in when you are playing something that's really distracting the choir instead of help it
Fenix,
I am inclined to agree with you. She was in her comfort zone. It takes some effort to get out of that zone and I guess she wasn't willing to do it.
She wanted to kick me off the organ which is okay but she wasn't all that good as an organist and it was throwing off the choir.
Hehehe..we had a player who was like that before..he was good alone, but for some of us who knew how things would sound if he was not playing alone, we didn't enjoy the music so much
Most of these days I just prefer backing up..there is so much room to experiment there..so I don't quite get it why others don't want to play with others
