On the problem of bass players writing songs in rock bands

Compare and analyze the bass score and guitar score in the songs you have played before. It is generally said that this is the main reason why musicians score songs. It's best to start with your favorite music style and your favorite music.

Ordinary and simple arrangements are just ordinary. After all, the arrangement techniques of musical instruments are always breaking through and innovating. After the harmony of the bass guitar is unified, the bass takes the root sound, and the rhythm matches what sound is used in each beat according to the rhythm of the rhythm guitar or drum. It doesn't matter whether the rhythm of the rhythm guitar is exactly the same. For example, this beat of the guitar is the first 16 note, and you can also play the first 16 note. And according to the walking method of the foot drum, try to match the bass notes with the foot drum, for example, pronounce them at the same time. As for every 4 bars or every 8 bars, it can also change completely with the rhythm guitar or drum flower. When the guitar is not wound, it is time to play the broken string. Bass can play some colorful solos, such as better melody, or some skills, or simply follow the drums.

In fact, there are many arrangements, not absolute. Different arrangements and ways of playing produce different styles. The key is to have ears and feelings that can distinguish good from bad in actual performance, and you will never know why you want to arrange it like this after editing. ........

At the beginning, I suggest that you mainly start with the changes of rhythm and notes, find your own style and improve your playing skills. Learn more harmony at ordinary times, do some simple improvisation when the band rehearses, and then play their creativity and imagination to cooperate.

Everyone writes songs in different ways and styles, and the only similarity is to express their favorite notes and rhythms. When you are free, look for some music scores of your favorite songs. You will learn a lot. I just said some personal experience, not authority, for reference only.
