_ _ _ [N] Yes, this section is about the role of the bass player.
I want you all to say hello to Will Calhoun, drummer extraordinaire. _
_ And basically, the role of the bass player is very important.
It's very important to understand the pulse, _ understand spacing and time, dynamics, and
basically where to play your notes at, how to play with the drummer, how to play with
the hi-hat, bass drum, and the snare drum.
So, to do that, I want Will to play the beat one more time, and I'm going to show some
examples of how I can play along with the bass, snare, and hi-hat.
Check it out. _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ I'm listening to my bass drum right now. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Little snare drum is in my bass line _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ with the hi-hat. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Yeah. _
_ [F] _ Yes.
Very, very, very important to listen to the drummer.
He's got all the beats.
And all this stuff is available on the website, so you can download all these beats, download
the bass lines, but the key is practice, practice, practice.
It's in your book.
And that's the end of that.
