I've been playing guitar for 7 years now and I still can't do it.

Caladan Brood (Atmospheric Black Metal about a book series called Malazan Book of the Fallen that is quite awesome) is a good example. By simple I mean songs where the notes change slowly. Best way to practice would be to learn some very simple songs by ear. Immediately knowing where a certain note is on the fret board when you hear it is indeed a challenge. Harmonic minors and other stuff are just slight alterations to the natural minor that are used quite often to get a certain feeling to a riff / melody, but it's best to learn the base from which those variations are made than to learn said variations first. As your bass is in B standard it will of course be B minor, but you can ignore that (Don't search for B minor, search for E minor and play it as it is shown). What's the best way to learn to recognize different notes and on different octaves? So that I could immediately see where it is without having to spend a minute searching for it.Ĭlick to expand.Learn E minor all over the fret board. I guess the great challenge is to learn to know immediately where a certain note is on the fretboard when you hear it? Got accustomed to it back in the day and just can't get my fingers working as precisely, even tho it looks cool when using two fingers. Are they the same, and where can I find the scale? And what would be a great scale to learn? I read about the harmonic minor / devil's interval in some Dani Filth interview, being the most essential when it comes to metal. One thing I can't find an answer to is if I want to 'learn' a specific scale while tuned to something other than E standard, will the scale move across the fretboard changing positions with the tuning? I think yes, obviously. Should I learn some chords or a certain scale? So what should I practice? I try going thru the fretboard building my nervous system to work left and right hand together. In general I'd say that the heavier the music the more picks you see when looking at bassists.ĭidn't know that guy plays with Wintersun.
Ultimate Guitar is a good place for tabs if you don't already know it.Īnd you should probably make a decision on whether or not to play with a pick. It won't open GP6 / GPX files, but GP3 - GP5 should work just fine. What's wrong with Tux Guitar? It's worked for me since forever. Doing what the first sentence says never sounds bad.Įxample of bass melodies / advanced bass lines: If the bassist is a bit more advanced / just likes to screw around (Cliff Burton, most guys in jazz I think), he might play some melodies, he might not always play the root note or might alternate between the root and, say, the 5th, he might play some additional notes in chord progressions where, if going from, say, C to G he might play C B A G instead of just C G. Thus you don't necessarily need to hear the bass too well to be able to play the bassline at least mostly correctly. Usually the bass plays either the root notes of a chord progression, or the same as the rhythm guitar (If there are any chords on the rhythm guitar the bass again plays the root notes). Describe the path to learning to play songs without tabs. I plan to play mostly stuff like Hypocrisy, maybe some doom, as bass is not really the thing in COB's music.įrom what I understand the basic principle is to play the lowest notes of guitars but at the moment the drums hit. What should I practice? What should I learn? How do I practice my ear? It's very hard to tell the root note underneath the rhythm guitars and everything in music like COB. I learned where the octaves go in relation to guitar and keyboard, it's fascinating.
#Bad guy bass tux guitar how to#
I don't know how to get tux guitar (or guitar pro) working on my computer. I tuned it to B at this point (I Worship Chaos, Hypocrisy, Type O Negative and such.). I played guitar and keys until four years ago, but wanted to get into it again, since music is a big part of my life.ĭon't want to dedicate so much time to it necessarily, so I'd rather become a good bassist than a crappy guitarist or crappy keyboardist.
So I just purchased a bass guitar a while ago.
