(solid tip) What do you mean? he means do not stay exactly on beat the whole time.....chill out and feel the music....dont stay exactly on the beat...it will sound too "robotic"..... You can hear Rush staying exactly on the beat...on E...SL a lot... especially on Xanadu... Lay it back... hope that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(solid tip) What do you mean? Bass players are not supposed to play on the beat. You should always be just behind the beat. It's an art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camera Eye82 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hey I think you did a great job. Keep up the good work. Its not so much playing off the beat as it is feel. If you feel the song it will groove. Just a hint : dont play tight. Play loose. Not like a click track. Just feel the song and it will groove. Hope that helps.
