Bass Lesson – Lounge Act by Nirvana

Rob — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:23:46 +0000

I haven’t been sticking to my goal of posting a new video every week, but I’m going to try harder. Here’s my video for this week: my bass lesson for “Lounge Act” by Nirvana:

Ever since I listened to Nevermind in 1992, I knew that Krist Novoselic was a great rock and roll bass player. “Lounge Act” proves it. In this case, Kurt’s rhythm guitars are just that: they provide the backing rhythm for Krist’s intricate, yet catchy bassline.

Kurt Cobain’s voice, Krist’s bass playing, and Dave Grohl’s drumming set Nirvana apart from every other alternative rock and grunge band in the 1990s.

At a little over two-and-a-half minutes long, “Lounge Act” is a perfect pop rock song.

Bass Lesson – Come Together by The Beatles

Rob — Thu, 28 May 2009 04:12:12 +0000

I’ve started a new video series called How to Play Songs on Bass. I’m still posting guitar videos, too. I’ll try to alternate every week…one guitar video, one bass video, and so on.

Here’s my video bass lesson for “Come Together” by The Beatles:

This is one of my favorite classic rock songs. I love Paul McCartney’s bluesy bass line; it has such an amazing tone to it. It’s one of the coolest bass lines ever, yet it’s actually kind of easy to play.

The other instruments sound fantastic, too…Ringo’s drums, George’s electric guitar, John’s vocals. There’s somehow a warmth and a crispness to everything in this song that sounds perfect. If you’ve never heard the original version of “Come Together,” I highly recommend checking out The Beatles album Abbey Road. To me, it sounds even better than the remastered version on 1 and the remixed version on Love.

It’s funny how a rock song that was recorded in 1969 has more life and sounds far better than rock songs recorded with today’s advanced technology.
