    Good line for practicing pick accuracy, staccato and rhythm (i decided to use a pick to emulate a little bit of the attack on the original song, you can use fingers). The track uses a keyboard to create a bass synth. I didn't go for trying to recreate that sound, and more for sitting the bass well on the mix. Sorry if it's not that audible. The line itself centers more on the tonic of each chord (except for the inversion on the chorus), marking it with octave movements on some parts. About harmony we're on a clear A Major with some issues:
    A Major (F, C, G are #)
    I A (A C# E)
    II Bm (B D F#) or Bmadd9 (B D F# C#) or Bm7 (B D F# A) or Bm9 (B D F# A C#) for this case (extended harmony, coloring)
    III C#m (C# E G#) or C#m7 (C# E G# B) for this case (extended harmony)
    IV D (D F# A) or Dmaj7 (D F# A C#) for this case (extended harmony)
    V E (E G# B) or E7 (E G# B D) for this case (extended harmony, dominant function) or E/G# (first inversion)
    VI F#m (F# A C#)
    bVII G (G B D) for this case (Mixolydian approach to A Major)
    VII G#dim (G# B D)

I'm only an amateur bassist but I play electric guitar for many years and as every musician, professional or not, I'm interested in how a real bass fits on the mix. And you did a really great job!! Thanks for sharing!!

    • @Prof_Potato
      @Prof_Potato 8 місяців тому +1

      Which raises the question, why stick with the bass synth. Sure it sounds “cleaner” but the actually instrument gives so much sonic nuance that’s lost when you go with clean synthetic bass lines. You don’t realize how clever the bass lines are until you hear it actually played.

      -Bass
      -Electroharmonix Big Muff/Overdrive bass pedal
      -Any type of amp
      -3 fingers (or only 2 fast fingers if you want to show-off)

    Lyrics:
    [Intro]
    "Alright guys, [cough] I'm doing 'Take On Me' now, alright. I, I really, I really like this song, it sounds good."
    [Verse 1]
    Minin' away
    I don't know what to mine
    I'll mine this anyway
    In this Minecraft day
    So beautiful, mine further down
    What's that I found?
    [Chorus]
    Mine diamonds (Take on me)
    Mine diamonds (Take on me)
    I'll mine them
    So far I've got two!
    [Verse 2]
    So easy to mine
    With my Minecraft pickaxe and shovels
    Hopefully they stay
    In my Minecraft chests
    So I'm gonna make
    A lock on it
    [Chorus]
    Mine diamonds (Take on me)
    Mine diamonds (Take on me)
    I'll mine them
    So far I've got two!
    [Bridge]
    "Ah! [cough, cough, cough, cough, sniff, cough]
    I'm alright, I'm ready"
    [Verse 3]
    All these diamonds
    Sittin' carefully lay
    I'm getting worried ("Shut the fucking door!")
    If they might get stolen
    From my ender chest
    Wait, who is that?
    Holy sheep, it's Notch!
    [Chorus]
    Mine diamonds (Take on me)
    Mine diamonds (Take on me)
    Now they're safe
    Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
    Now...
    Now that they're safe
    Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
    Mine diamonds, [heavy breathing] (Take on me)
    Mine diamonds (Take on me)
    [Outro]
    "Uh, Thanks, thanks for listening guys and thanks for recommending this song"

    This is a noob question but how is bass music created? Is it more of percussion to keep time with the drums or is it harmony for the main melody? It seems to head in the opposite direction to the notes of the main melody but sometimes it is on it's own random course.

    • @CoverSolutions
      @CoverSolutions  6 років тому

      It's a good question. Bass creates a funtion between harmony, melody and rhythm. It locks all of it together, but the main function is harmony

  • @DongFaustino
    @DongFaustino 6 років тому +2

    Very accurate. The only thing is the original is played on a synth and before the 0:55 on F#m chord the first D note is played an octave lower which cannot be achieved with a 4-string bass unless drop tuned or use a 5-string one. Best cover. Keep it up.
