    ABBA wouldn’t have been ABBA without Rutger’s outstanding mastery of the bass !! The bass line totally makes this song!

    Who'd have thought the bassline on that was so mad? Love it. Thanks. 😀

      I didn’t expect it that it would be this complex. I heard this song a thousand times but never realised how amazingly irregular the baseline was. Bravo

      Certainly Gunnarson was thinking completely out of the box when He came up with that bassline. Love the breathing room it gives, and it's full of unexpectancy.

    Excellent job.
    These complex (Rutger) Bass lines turned ABBA's brilliant compositions into masterpieces.
    You can actually feel her heart beating as she is walking through that empty house, with tears in her eyes. - Very Emotional.
    ALL of ABBA's songs had beautiful and complex bass lines, including their new ones, which were emulated by Benny.
    Rutger would be proud of you.
    Thanks from Australia.

    I was never into ABBA until I found this transcription, which led me to play your other transcriptions. Thank you, and I see why you love ABBA so much. Such a powerhouse talent, and Rutger Gunnarson laid down some amazing bass lines for others to enjoy and play.

    When I hear Rutger's bassline it sounds smoother and less staccato than the way you've transcribed it. You've taken the heartbeat out of it.

    • @sonicbluebass
      @sonicbluebass  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for the comment. Smoothness is indeed one of the important elements. I will look at that as well.

    • @maxmaxgustavsson
      @maxmaxgustavsson Рік тому +4

      Well, we’re not watching Rutger so we can’t expect to hear exactly what he played on the album.
      Great cover nonetheless✌🏼

  • @lucpraslan
    @lucpraslan 2 роки тому +3

    When you notate the X but as a pitch, how do you play that? Is it a slap on the string instead of a proper pluck? You can kind of hear the pitch of the note where the X is but it's not as clear.

    • @sonicbluebass
      @sonicbluebass  2 роки тому +3

      Thank you for listening in detail. Actually, I meant X is always a dead note with no pitch. But I noticed that a pitch is faintly heard at some of the Xs because I accidentally pressed the string a bit too hard :-) You can assume that X is a dead note with no pitch.

    I like the color of your bass. Do you know what it's called? Sonic Blue?

    • @sonicbluebass
      @sonicbluebass  27 днів тому

      Yes, that is the reason for my channel name. But I found out later in the 2003 Fender catalogue (this bass is a 2002 American Jazz) that it is "Sky Blue"😂 And the colour seems to have gradually changed with age.

  • @jakeoncall
    @jakeoncall 29 днів тому

    Funny. The name of your channel is "Sonic Blue Bass". Forgive the stupid question. But at least I can take solace in guessing correctly. 😂
