How to tune up the guitar and bass

Friday, February 25, 2011

(Tune up) guitar and bass is actually quite similar. The structure of tone on the bass and guitar strings are also quite similar. In the normal bass - four strings, the following note on each strings:

    * String one = G
    * String two = D
    * String three = A
    * String four = E

Strings of one to four on the bass has a tone similar to the strings of four to six on guitar (The order of strings in accordance with the order of the diameter / thick string).

Well, how nyetem own bass guitar and some use the tuner (tune up tools) and some use the normal way. When using a tuner, find the appropriate tuner to the frequency of these tools. On the guitar around 80 Hz - 5 kHz while the bass 40 Hz - 2 kHz. There is a tuner that is only for one type of instrument and any tuner that can be used for guitar and bass. So please vote effectively.

The next way, the usual way - without tools. This method is sufficient to equate one of the strings. I explained how nyetem on guitar just because the bass is almost the same. First, match one string with the appropriate tone. It's up to the strings which, in accordance with a clear tone. Could use a keyboard, brass, and equate to a CD, mp3 songs. In this case, your hearing ability is required. When you equate one string (usually a string one), then adjust with the following list:

    * Strings 1 - open-string = string 2 fret 5 = E
    * Strings 2 - open-string = string 3 fret 4 = B
    * Strings 3 - open-string = string 4 fret 5 = G
    * Strings 4 - open-string = string 5 fret 5 = D
    * Strings 5 - open-string = string 6 fret 5 = A

Tip: if the sound is not the same strings (tuned), then you hear a bumpy read "waw-waw-waw" when the strings sounded together - for example an open string string with string 2 fret 5. When the tone is the same, then the sound will be heard clearly, not humming "waw-waw-waw".

Bass Technique

Slap Technique is a technique that is not foreign to the bass player. Slap is a technique that is full of rhythmic and percussive style. Her voice is light produced from the collision or blow right hand thumb into a string bass, followed by right hand fingers tear the other to different strings. Usual slap-style playing in the flow back and forth type of Funk and R & B. However, in accordance with the times pluck style (P) is the basis of slap technique.

Playing basic Bass

Bass Instrument

Like the guitar, bass is a stringed musical instrument that uses strings as the source of his voice ato. It's just bass using 4 (the top if there are strings on the guitar), namely the lowest E string, A string, strings D and G strings of the most high. The composition of the bass strings (4senar) also starts from the string 6 = E, 5 = A, 4 = D, and 3 = G. Similarly, in writing in tablature, bass only using 4 lines representing the strings.

Although there are acoustic bass, but the majority of the bass more commonly found in electronic or electric operated and require amps to strengthen her voice.

Function Bass

In a song, the bass plays as a determinant and guides chord is being played in every movement of the song. Here, bass play along with guitar and piano. Bass also serves as an accompaniment to music while playing, which is shared with the role of drummer. Kalo uda known that the bass seemed to link the guide (guitar and piano) with accompaniment (drums) so it can become a harmonious unity and well-organized.

Root Note

Every music ato songs using chords as an accompaniment. Chord itself is actually a collection of at least 3 tones are sounded together neighboring ato. The main sound is the most easily recognizable of the three tones are called the root note, and the next second tone is complementary chord that can generate its own nuances ato atmosphere. For example chord C minor (Cm), it means the root note is C and the next second tone is a decisive chord C has become a kind of minor chord.

The tones are played on the bass tone generally is derived from the root note which is the main tone of a chord above. So easy aja, kalo mo tau donk play the bass should be using that chord in a song was okay, tuez live quotes wrote one note C, D, B, A what provided the root note aja deh! Play the right tone when a knock displacement chord. Plus the tones with specific guidelines for improvasi who can be trained, the bass will beautify the nuances that were presented in a song. That is a fundamental understanding. Simple right,,,,

Strength Bass

Techniques to determine when the bass is played to explain that bass beats often synonymous with power in the bass drum track. Beats like this was evident in blues songs. Bass drums are often played in uniform also show that the game was also played bass in a uniform. This makes it clear bass as accompaniment to songs of great importance. Other techniques to explain that determine the bass beat can be done by understanding the pressures on each section of songs, such as the inclusion of sound gong on ethnic music. In reggae music and ska, basss played to the beat and combined with the selection of tunes that dynamic, giving rise to the impression of a unique and cheerful in the iringannya which tend monotonous.

Technique bass game

Bass is played by an almost equal with the guitar, which is picked. Bass playing techniques such as slapping (hitting), or menstrumming membetot bass is also done by players who have been classified as proficient as Flea RHCP, nearly all the techniques played on all the songs.

Unlike the pattern of a game played Sting The Police, which refers to the reggae music in the early-early. Games Sting bass tend to use the root note is played at every 1 beat evenly and move around as it is to follow his chord movement. Games like this there is the song "Every Breath You Take". After all, relying on the root note didengerin banged his song so bad,,, that's my favorite song.

In jazz, the bass is often regarded as the driving force for the song and determining the color of the song you want to display. Given also that jazz chord-chord always use a complex and rely on individual improvasi, bass game forced to be more reliable in many respects.

Less is more like it on bass, sorry-sorry if there is something wrong. Ohhey!!

And for more details note the score, especially for the Melodic Minor, where different scales rise with a fall.

Sometimes play seven tones in a chord, not possible or is not necessary. Especially if we play a fast tempo song that has a meeting with the displacement chord. Therefore, frequently used the pentatonic scale has only five tones (penta = five, tonic = tones).

In the pentatonic scale, it is not used the second and sixth tones. So the formula is 1,3,4,5,7. For example in A Mixolydian pentatonic scale, tone steps are A, C #, D, E, G. In this case the Dorian and Aeolian modes become no different from the same alias. For example, A and A Aeolian Dorian pentatonic pentatonic scales his equally A, C, D, E, G. Scale is 'no' is played as a pentatonic is Blue Note (Blues Scales).

In the intro song "Sweet Child O 'Mine", GN'R bassist Duff McKagan plays a riff on Db with notes of different length. At that time guitarist Slash plays the melody riff on Db Major with notes 1 / 8. (Both guitar and bass tuned a half tone lower than standard seteman, but the score was written in standard tone).

Classical Guitarist Andrés Segovia

Andrés Segovia (1893-1987) is considered to be the father of the modern classical gutiar movement by most modern scholars. Many feel, that without his efforts, the classical guitar would still be considered a lowly bar instrument, played only by peasants.

Segovia's quest to elevate the guitar to a prominant position in the music world, began at the early age of four. His uncle used to sing songs to him and pretend to strum an imaginary guitar in his lap. Luckily for us, there was a luthier nearby and Segovia took an instant liking to the guitar. Although discouraged by his family (according to them he should play a "real" instrument), he continued to pursure his studies of the guitar. He set a goal for the guitar and himself early in life. It was, to bring Guitar studies to every university in the world, have the guitar played throughout the world, on every major stage, just as the piano and violin were, and lastly, to pass on his love of the guitar to generations to follow. He considerd himself to be the messenger that would complete this impossible quest. He succeeded in all respects.

In 1928 Segovia made his American debut in New York City. Before long, composers like Heitor Villa-Lobos even began to compose original pieces specifically for the guitar. Segovia himself began transposing the classical canon for the guitar as well, most notably his notoriously difficult translation of Bach's Chaconne, as well as many transcriptions of lute and harpsichord music. In addition to recording and performing, Segovia spent the remainder of his life and career successfully influencing the authorities at conservatories, academies, and universities to include the guitar in their instruction programs with the same emphasis given the violin, cello and piano; his early struggles were recounted in his 1983 memoir Andres Segovia: An Autobiography of the Years 1893-1920. He died in 1987.
