Soundgarden - My Wave (Bass Cover)
Here is a somewhat simplified version of the bass part on this very tricky tune.
My goal was to come up with a transcription that is "gig-ready" -- something that locks in with the rest of the band while reducing the odds of making any major mistakes.
It was a challenge to transcribe the rhythms, especially the bridge section after the first "flourish". Here the bass is in 3/4 for the most part, but the guitar riff is in 5/4.
Plus, I am convinced that after each "flourish" there is a missing eighth note, so that the open E at the end of the flourish actually should be thought of as starting the down beat of a new measure. So the flourish measure can be thought of as being in 7/8 time. You can hear the drummer has some high-hats to cue in the band after each flourish, and it is clear that the beat gets turned around due to the missing eighth note.
My guess is that the bass part at the very end is improvised. For this transcription, I chose to simplify that ending section. You can keep the bass part in 3/4 time for the most part -- however if you add one measure of 4/4 in there then the bass part lines up nicely for the very last chord. I chose the 4/4 measure to be exactly half-way in the ending part, which means there are 8 phrases before the 4/4 measure and 8 more after the 4/4 measure.
I am really looking forward to playing this tune with my band at our next gig. I hope we can pull it off!

      @@nathanaeldavenport2251 that half-note silence at the end of the bar implies 8 16-th notes, but it sounds to me more like 9 16th-notes in that silence. That adds up 33 16-th notes in the bar, or 11 groups of 3, hence the 11 against 4 rhythm

    Amazing! This one went right over my head upon first listen. But spend a little time with it, and wow! It's kind of like a musical version of an old-lady-young-lady optical illusion. The meter sounds different depending on where you put your focus. But with this video and accompanying transcription, you have pulled the curtain away and revealed the magic trick. Bravo!

    • @bassafterdark7186
      @bassafterdark7186 8 місяців тому

      Thanks for the feedback. I think if you made the rests semiquaver rests (16th note rests), then you would need to compensate by making the note values quavers (8th notes). Since the note duration is short, I opted for the semiquaver notes and quaver rests rather than the other way around.

    this piece merits a time signature breakdown class by estepario siberiano or hopefully the author himself, so deliciously difficult ! I was betting this was sort of a 9/8 rhythm but 4/2 and 6/2 i just don´t get

    • @Gray-_-Fox
      @Gray-_-Fox 8 місяців тому

      You can count in 4/4 during the whole song. At 0:31 , in a way, it is still 4/4. If you focus on drums and keep 4/4 in mind, you can count in your head like if they add half a bar at the end of each bar. So instead of 8 pulses, you got 12 pulses. They repeat this 4 times then at 0:48 , back to basic 4/4
