Title: Bass Practice Songs
Post by: Mysteryman on December 22, 2006, 03:09:25 PM
Wondering if you all had anymore practice song midis you want me to do? I can post them without the bassline. Hopefully you all will post a clip. ;D Things kinda dying down in here.

I would recommend doing some congregational songs for some of the beginners.  Something very simple where they can learn the progressions.

i would like to hear some praise and worship in the COGIC style like, what a "mighty God we serve," "this is the day that the lord has made" and john P. Kee had a medley in that same style but i can't remember the name of the song nor the album. it don't have to be all of them, just something in that style.

I dont have that CD unless you can send it to me. If you can do it in the lowest mp3 format you can.

I'll rip that track at 128kbps and send you a download link.

Post by: Mysteryman on January 01, 2007, 09:02:33 PM
I got it. If you want it exactly like it its going to take a few days.  :D But Im sure I can do it. I can get that drum track going, but I dont think I can do all those drum rolls unless someone else can add the drums to the drum track in the back ground when Im finished.

Here's another file of the 6-b6-5-1-4-7-3 progression. Its basically the GK hump you hear on gospelkeyboard. This is a gospel progession you must know in every key.

I tried to play it a certain way so you dont have to play the same thing. There is not necessarily a right way. Look at the progession I gave. Im going to post a clip of me playing it.

I think I have a few. I will check when I get home. 

Funny thing you drag this thread up. I got my basses a few years back by never really got into playing them. I was off the last few days and spent a good portion of them trying to relearn the bass. I got a few ideas to post. I've been playing with my G.E. Patterson DVDs. It was kinda fun. When I'm able to play in all keys and got a few runs then I think I will bust out at church.  ;D

Old post. lol I don't have anything complex to add just simple ideas.  I've barely touched the bass since this thread was made. Which puts me still at the beginner stage but I understand music. I got a guaranteed way to get beginner bass players holding it down and throw in a few tricks. lol I will just start the thread now then post what I can when I get home.
