When I was in a band back at uni, the other two NEEDED a bass player and so, before I joined, they wrote my parts for me. They were both music students (though they played different instruments for their courses) and they used their knowledge from classical music stuff to write complicated parts for me since they knew me as a prog guy with a taste for busy music. The thing was, we played indie/funk music. They dialed back their own parts, but not mine for fear that I would leave. When we started writing together, I made parts that were much more typical of the style of the genre. They worried that I was getting bored, but I honestly thought we just sounded better as a group that way.

It would be a similar concept, but you'd have a lot more flexibility since there aren't so many other instruments taking up space. I would recommend taking what you learned from this video and then listening to some songs by some 3 piece bands (Chevelle, Blink-182, Nirvana, etc.) and listen to how the parts connect, support, or compliment each other. Sometimes, the guitar might alternate between playing rhythm parts and lead parts, while the bass holds down the rhythm. The vocals and guitar might take turns providing melody, and the bass might provide more notes to fill up more space. Hope that kinda gives you an idea of how it would work!

To add on this, if you listen to a lot of blink-Mark actually does a lot for the rhythm section by playing bass chords. The songs written by him usually contain verse sections where he's doing two jobs of keeping the rhythm section down with bass obviously but also getting a more fuller sound with bass chords. You can hear it best on "The Rock Show". Honestly pretty cool.

Thank you. I play keys in a bar band and this is already how I think. The same approach works in worship music (in my case, Reform Jewish) - my first question is What Don’t we have? It’s rarely melody or chords. I’m usually working with an acoustic guitar or two It’s bass line, so I play with a heavy left hand. I worry about adding rhythmic impact because piano is a percussion instrument. I add fills. Sometimes harmony lines. You’re so right about how live musicians think. I’ll lay out for a first verse to get a song to build. No one else is thinking that way. If we’re playing a song with a heavy groove, I’ll often have to tell the drummer to cool it with the fills, this song needs that pocket, which is what I’m reinforcing on keys for all I’m worth. (Drummers appreciate the extra groove support. They love playing with a rhythm section that acts like one.) The other huge factor live is TURN DOWN!! Under no circumstances should you even consider competing with the vocals and you have no business being unaware you’re doing it. If I don’t know if I’m too loud (or soft) out front I ask. Your product is not your sound, your product is the band’s sound. I hate playing with guys who don’t get that. I don’t care how good your chops are; if you don’t get this I don’t want to know you.
@QuincyKane Жыл бұрын
Sounds like you've got the right idea! The main purpose of this video was to help amateur musicians understand the concept of listening to the other musicians in the band and making sure what they're playing is connecting, supporting, or complimenting everyone else. I you find yourself in situations with fewer musicians, that gives you more wiggle room to play around with, and you don't have to worry as much about taking up too much space. You just wanna try to be dynamic (soft in the verses; harder in the chorus's), try not to cover anyone up, and keep an ear out for spaces to fill in with the "fancy stuff".

@@chinpokkhaw4416 I would like to make another band video like this, but I'm not sure if I'll have time. However, I can give you a few more tips. When you say keyboard, do you mean you're using a keyboard to play traditional piano sounds or are you playing synth-y, electronic sounds as well? I’d recommend checking out Ben Folds; his music has been very influential to me as a pianist. Check out his Myspace gig and look up the songs "Rockin' the Suburbs", "Army", and "Such Great Heights". You'll get to see him playing live with other musicians, so there's a lot to watch and learn. He does use some foul language sometimes, just to give you a heads up. Also check out his songs "Red is Blue", "Heist", "Annie Waits", "In Between Days", and "Bruised". You’ll notice he provides a lot of rhythm with the piano, and often uses electronic sounds for melodies or sustaining notes/chords. Depending on the song, sometimes he does a lot, sometimes he does a little. If you watch, listen, and try to imitate, I think you can learn a lot from Ben Folds and apply it to your own music. Also, don't be afraid to try things and experiment with new techniques; you may "over-do it" at first, but that teaches you to know when certain techniques work and when they don't.

This is great advice that a lot of bands don’t learn until it’s too late. The key is to service the song or the band’s “sound”. It’s easy to pick up bad habits by playing live because giving it everything you’ve got at all times will often get you great crowd reactions but that doesn’t work when recording and your songs will lose the emotional 3 dimensionality that good arrangements with a focus on dynamics can provide.

In our band, I'm a pianist/keyboardist. However, we only could have 1 guitar (having 2 or 3 guitars are pretty rare) and I'm the only instrument with the keys (it depends if other pianists attend at the same time since we have schedule). Still, I learned that I could move on a higher octave when I'm with the "master" bassists and guitarists (they could fulfill those parts alone even alone lol) and while listening to the recordings, it sounded cleaner almost as clean as my mentor's playing (they teach me smth new like thrice in a year because of their schedule). Thank you so much!

Sounds like you have a good understanding of how to arrange the parts in your band's setup! Essentially, many bands will have different combinations of instruments; this particular example was demonstrating how to coordinate a larger number of instruments, but for bands with a smaller number, there's a bit more flexibility in getting the parts to work together. I hope you were able to gain a few helpful tips from this video; good luck to you and your band, and have fun!

Thank you for this video, Quincy! As a solo artist it's very useful to help me see how to improve the overall sound of my songs. Much of this has been told me by my producer - such as putting instruments in different pitches, but there are some nuggets I wasn't aware of. E.g. having the piano play long notes where it might otherwise interfere with the rhythm guitar. I shall watch this again. Great video!

Thank you! Are there any songs of yours that you like most? I shall look at them. See "Wimin Problems", "Ecclethwaite Village Football Club", and "Battle Stations, Battle Stations" from me. I shall see my producer tomorrow, and mention you. He might then recommend your video to his artists who don't know how to separate the parts of the song.@@QuincyKane

Good advice. But where does the Cow Bell fit in? :-) You're right, sometimes it's best to sit back and not play at all. If the sonic environment more space. As they say, sometimes it's the notes you don't play that are what make the song memorable.
