Mimi Fox Solo Jazz Guitar (Bass & Chords) chords

[D] I want to talk some about getting a good baseline effect when you're playing solo guitar.
You know, obviously a real bass player would not be putting in [A] chords at the same time.
[F] [Eb] So [Em] [A] there's two different kinds of bass lines.
[A] [Bbm] So now [A]
[F] [Gm] [D] when I'm putting in the chords, that's changing the baseline, whereas a real bass
player might do something like this.
[G] [B] [A] You know, they're going to [D] be moving more [Dbm] chromatically, [B] [Em]
[Fm] [Ab] [A] whereas you're limited when
you're putting in your chords.
But that being said, one of the most, and both ways are good to practice by the way.
You'll notice when I went into more of what a bass player did, I played like a bass player
with my two fingers rather than with the pick.
And it's just something to explore to get different sounds and different techniques.
But one of the things that a real bass player does, you know, there's the sound of the string.
This is whether they're playing, you know, acoustic bass or whether they would be playing
an electric bass.
That you're hearing [Gb] the
[D] [Gb] [D] [Gb] So I'm [Em] sort of hammering on [D] those notes [F] as [Ab] I pick up the tempo.
[F] [A]
[D] [D] [Bb] [F] [E] So [D] one of the things you want to [C] do is listen to a lot of bass players playing.
Listen [G] to some of your favorite bass players.
And then you'll notice again that you're going to hear these kind of
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
[D] I'm sort of putting in a sort of [Ab] sometimes
[Ebm] [A] So the note is ghosted from the other string.
It's not really being [B] plucked.
[D]
[F] [Eb] [D] Anyway, so you want to just do this.
And when you're putting in your chords with your bass lines, you want to try to get it
so that there's a good balance between the volume.
[Em] You know, so [Eb] that
[A]
[F] [Eb] So [D] [Bb] [F] [E] [A]
[D] you want to try to work on that so that there's a nice balance between the two parts.
And that gives what non-guitar players will come to a show and they'll say,
wow, it sounds like two guitars playing.
Well, you're replicating that by trying to have a nice balance between the two.
[E] So one guitar player would [Gm] be
[G] This would be [E] going
[G] And the other, [Bbm] [A] [Bb] [Em] you know, just playing that.
And then you're sort of combining them when you're doing that.
