the way i think of the bass and drum interaction is that the kick drum gives the bass punch and the bass gives the kick drum sustain and when properly synchronized together they create the foundation of the song which everything rides on top of.

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.

@Timbiscuit128 ай бұрын
That was actually really nice of them to do that. A lot of people would have to or try to reign the bass player in, but they thought of you and went out of their way to write parts around what they thought would be cool for you (even if the song overall was better with more simple bass).

I feel like every band needs to watch this video together at least once annually. Like any band. Regardless of genre or popularity. Definitely helps even seasoned musicians think like a regular music listener and refresh the true importance of dynamics and expression in song composition or even executing cover tunes tastefully. Less is usually more in rock n roll. We just gotta fill in the blanks with color.

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!

Each member of the band has a very important role and job. The drummer, for example, is the most important section. And I know how hard it is to play the drums, being a drummer myself. Don’t get me wrong, they’re the best instruments of all time, but keeping and playing in time is probably the toughest job for any of us. Rick Allen, drummer of Def Leppard, lost his left arm in a car accident, and he still plays with them!!!!! His comeback is probably the most inspirational story I’ve ever heard in the history of the great genre that is Rock and Roll.

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.
@QuincyKane10 ай 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".

Yes, I'd probably agree with that; since it can do so much, it can take up a lot of space and make it difficult to cooperate with too many other instruments. This video was intended to have numerous instruments to demonstrate the concept of serving the song and doing what's best for the band, based off the other elements involved. Piano can also work well with orchestral instruments, but I think the piano is usually the "main focus" in those kind of compositions, and all the other instruments are just supporting the piano and building off of the notes being played by it.

@@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 helpful for most beginners. start off with basic rudiments with catchy chord progressions and that’s it. simple pop music

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.

Thank you so much for your video! I've had more of an important role in the band for my Christian fellowship recently, so it's helpful for me to understand how my peers/bandmates make the setlist pop 👍

Great video! I think this is what makes the Rolling Stones so enduring. A lot of their songs seem to really benefit from this understanding between the musicians. They didn't need to be virtuosos, Keith certainly wasn't, but they had great feel and knew how best to serve the song.

Thank you for the kind words; I very much appreciate it! I do still have some tutorials and music vlogs on my channel, but just to give you a heads up, I am focusing now as a solo recording artist, posting original songs and performing them through Live Streams and Music Videos.

For a rock band Singer: Lyrics and Vocals (you should know what that is) Lead Guitar: Melody - (the part that gets stuck in your head) usually starts a few bars into the song, plays the solo Rhythm guitar: Harmony to add depth - usually starts of the song on its own before lead joins in Drums: Rhythm - EXTREMELY important, keeps everybody on track and gives a beat Bass: baseline - usually the root notes of whatever the Rhythm guitar is playing Piano/Keyboard: usually plays a similar chord progression (with a few variations) based off the harmony

That's fine; at the end of the day, music is art, and you're allowed to do it any way you like! Keep in mind, however, that this is just a short example with no vocals; it might be "tolerable" for 16 seconds, but for a full 3 and a half minute song, it might get a bit exhaustive, and with vocals, it'd be hard to perceive the words since so much is fighting for attention.
