I need some help! Can anyone give us a hand learning this bass line? It's from house of the dead overkill, the hospital level music. Super funky but that bass line is a bit of a bugger. Pretty sure it slides up to a B on the A string and then immediately does a quick high B on the octave and then sounds like the rest is kinda E, A, F# area but haven't nailed it and the end of the riff has a slightly syncopated end but sounds like the last note is a D. Anyone able to decipher it? drive.google.com/file/d/1SrBpnl4KKffgedyuqk7or_JvzcjFsE-_/view?usp=drivesdk |

I might have to load it into ableton and loop the first four bars on repeat and slow it down I guess

E string slide A to B, octave B on the D string E string A - F# - A E string slide A to B then muted pluck E string A, F#-A-F# and repeat I think  |

Then when the drums come in it's
D -9-9-9---7---7-8-
A --------9---9----
then
G ----------------7-
D -9-9-9---7-9---
A --------9--------

I've got it now, but I'm using the A string to start off. How are you doing the high B octave? If you listen to the audio is it *super* quick before the G. I'm having to attempt to pop it and my right hand is right up to the bridge pickup to make it stand out a bit more |

I like it, might nick it It's ace isn't it I was playing the game last night and it popped into my head this morning so was on a mission to nail it! |

Maybe this will help you: What's occurring here then, is that it all mapped out with all the instruments? |

It's mostly octave harmonics it's identifying as individual notes. I should have run it in monophonic mode but you can just pick up the roots.

You could hammer open to 2nd fret but it sounds like a slide? I'm doing E string 5 to 7 slide, D string 9th fret for the octave. Then yeah it's a quick jump back to the E string second fret for the F#, but it's doable |

So starting on A string fret 14?

Hang on, let me map it out

Intro
So, slide up to fret 2 (B) on the A string. Then do the octave B (fret 4, G string)
Immediately after the octave pop, fret 2 on E string (F#). Then open A string, then the F# again ((because your finger is already still fretting this note so it's less movement), then A#, and B on the A string. Then open A, then the F# again on E string - do this twice with the right rhythm and then you're back ready to do it all again

Reading that back makes no sense but it's how I'm doing it. No idea if I'm in the wrong key or not though. Probably am. I'll try your transposition
The main riff is similar to yours but just transposed down

Post by monkman5000 on Jul 14, 2022 12:43:05 GMT
No, that makes sense and it's the same notes as I'm playing, just everything a string nearer the floor Easier to play your way too. Main riff I think makes most sense starting on the 9th fret of the D string, as I noted it above. |

Main riff I think makes most sense starting on the 9th fret of the D string, as I noted it above. I do try and find the path of least resistance if possible! I mean, the intro is basically 3 notes really! Yeah I'll have a bash at the main bit It has a killer groove on the original. Love funk for that. |

I've been eyeing up a Boss-TU3 in line tuner pedal. I use a Snark for the acoustics, but it just doesn't seem to quite cut it with the electrics.
Every guitarist needs pedals, right?

To be fair a Snark should work just fine on an electric. I use them on electric basses.

Yeah I totally get the shiny new things argument. But a tuner is not very exciting. It literally stops the music Get a looper. |

Post by monkman5000 on Jul 18, 2022 10:56:04 GMT
Yes but you already have something performing that function! You can't clip a looper to your headstock |

Post by monkman5000 on Jul 18, 2022 10:58:11 GMT
Which Katana do you have? The 100 with the effects loop? If so you can put the looper in the effects loop, and use different sound patches on the amp - clean for some chords, then something gnarly to play a solo over the chords. Fun times. If you've got the 50 then you might want an OD/distortion pedal too Apologies if I'm confusing you with someone else who recently bought a Katana. |
