Hey Chincy I think the first word is HOW and the joke is actually about the front man you know singin and what not. [/u]
Okay, as a bass player, I have to point out one of the more, um, interesting things that has happened to me more than once. This is one that I've had guitar players claim as a bass player infraction. I feel the need to shift the - um - blame a bit.
Guitar players: If I'm playing a song where the bass line is a pedal note on the root of the chord, I have no friggin idea what chord you are supposed to play. I'm playin' a G. Maybe that's a major G, possibly it's minor. It might be Gmaj7. Or not. It could be Gdim. Or not.
Oh, you say, but the other chords should give you a clue.
But, it's a 1,4,5 progression, all pedal notes. I play G, then I play C, then I play D. Well, that does rule out the diminished chord.
You can laugh all you want, this has actually happened to me.
Now, if I'm playing a boogaloo pattern, or a pentatonic scale pattern, or - you know - a pattern with some chord information in it, then I can help you. Maybe.
But don't get mad if I can't. Because root and octave, even root, five, octave as a pattern isn't going to tell me what chord you should play, either.
And, no, I don't carry the picks you like.
