I've never been a big fan but they made a big impact. I watched VH1 behind
the music last night on GNR.
Those guys where messed from day one. Leave the drugs alone people.

Drugs are bad people, take it from someone who knows.
I had my long term memory erased by them. Half my childhood and most of the
guitar theory I knew, all gone, just say no! ____________________

Hello, i am a newbie to this site.looks really cool.
Got a question maybe someone can answer.
I've been playing guitar for 19yrs and i am learning bass now.
I can play the bass like improving like a guitar solo without over doing
it,all the way from basic to pulling off some advanced stuff.
the only thing is when i hear a bass player playing with a band it sounds
much different.I've always heard the bass is playing more with the drums
than anything.I guess i just dont understand bass logic good yet.
My question is how to play bass like a bass player instead of playing bass
like a guitar player?or does it really matter?

First Im glad someone is interested in playing bass...I believe that the
art of bass playing in rock is gone...If you listen to music from the
50's,60's,70's the bass was a bigger part of music than guitar in my
mind...There were good bass players then...I really dont here this
anymore...I think the bass needs to be in time or work in some sort of
pattern with the bass drum or the kick drum...Also the drums and bass do
not want to step on each others toes...You dont want a wild bass riff with
a wild drum roll it would sound muddy...They need to feed off each other in
this sense...Im sure there is more however I do not play the drums...I play
bass and guitar.dont play the bass like guitar.examples
guitar plays like this-----Play bass like this
E---------------------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------
A------------------------------------------------------
E--0-0--0--0--0--0------0------0------0-------0-----
Its hard to explain...play less...Play yet somtimes dont even play while
every one is playing and every once in a while accent with a cool bass note
or chord...Less is best.Thats what I do anyway...Also the gaps in the song
with no bass creates feeling in the song...Same can be said for guitar and
vocals...Stops or gaps create feeling...peace ____________________

Thanks for the input  I think i know what you mean.the bass pl ays with the bass drum
where the guitar doesnt.Thats probably the conventional way to play
bass.Thats what i need to practice,even though i think both ways are good i
just like to understand how everything is set up to work.I really want to
be well rounded.

I am a big fan of rock based music,i like all different kinds.I play alot
of folk,blues,classic and some new rock.Right now i am learning the bass so
i can play in my church band.They are really good.The drumer played shows
with jefferson airplane and had zappa intrested in them in the 60's.The
guitar player was formerly in lynard sknard (or how ever it's spelled) he
was on 3 of there albums.all the other people have very impressive back
grounds as well.Just to clairify the drummer had his own band that played
shows with jefferson airplane,he wasn't their drummer.So i guess to answer
the question i am learning alot of bluesy type funky gospel music.I want to
learn alot of different stuff though
