Greetings, fellow low-enders!
Aaaaaaaaaand...we're back! For those of you who are new on this site and are
checking this out for the first time, welcome. For all the other veterans, welcome
back. The tradition continues. I'm going to introduce a series of grooves each month
in a particular style, and you (and I) can have fun with it! The previous Grooves are
all on my AB homepage in the lesson folder, so knock yourselves out!
This month's focus is Rock'n'Roll. Usually people are used to hearing a pumping 8th
note-root pattern, which is fine, but you don't need me for that. I'd like to
concentrate on the patterns for other figures in Rock'n'Roll. Listen to "Livin' On A
Prayer" (Bon Jovi), or "Addicted To Love" (R. Plant) and you'll know the type of bass
groove I'm talking about. The notes are still pumping at 8th notes, but the line
moves through the chord/scale. Enjoy!
