Hey T, for your last post, what is the timing for those bass-lines? What is the timing for the chords?
For most of the bass lines, it's 4/4 time, meaning one note per beat. Only one of them is different, and I'll try to explain the timing of it:
G#, G, G#, A, A#, A, A#, F#, G, A#, C#, E, D#, C#, A#, C#
Ab, G, Ab, A, Bb, A, Ab, Gb, G, Bb, Db, Fb, Eb, Db, Bb, Db
This bass line is to be played fast with a ragtime feel to it. They will be played like triplets, except the middle beat of the triplet will be a rest. So, it's like this:
Normal triplets played like this: [1, and, a] [2, and, a] [3, and, a]
*each # and word is a note playedTriplets with a rest in the middle: [1, , a] [2, , a] [3, , a]
*notice the middle note of the triplet is not to be playedNow that we understand that, let me explain the timing for the bass line:
Key Db
[1] Ab /
[ ]
[a] G /
[2] Ab /
[ ]
[a] A /
[3] Bb /
[ ]
[a] A /
[4] Ab /
[ ]
[a] Gb /
[1] G /
[ ]
[a] Bb /
[2] Db /
[ ]
[a] Fb /
[3] Eb /
[ ]
[a] Db /
[4] Bb /
[and] Db /
Try it slow, then increase speed as u get more comfortable with the notes. U can find this bass line in the song "Praise Him" by Smokie Norful on his Limited Edition CD.
