Upright Bass PrimerBook and Audio CD
by Andy Howald is an instructional book that focuses on the beginning
player and emphasizes proper playing technique. The book will guide the
student through learning parts of the bass, proper playing position,
tuning the bass, right and left hand technique, marking the positions,
how to read tablature, playing notes, how to play with other
instruments, and will also teach several songs. The book focuses on
playing in a folk or bluegrass style and will teach the beginner how to
play several bluegrass standards.
"The
string bass is the most commonly-used bass instrument in bluegrass
music and is almost always plucked, though some modern bluegrass
bassists have also used a bow. The bluegrass bassist is part of the
rhythm section, and is responsible for keeping a steady beat, whether
fast, slow, in 4/4 time, 2/4 or 3/4 time. The Englehardt or Kay brands
of plywood laminate basses have long been popular choices for bluegrass
bassists. Most bluegrass bassists use the 3/4 size bass, but the full
and 5/8 size basses are also used.
Early
pre-bluegrass music was often accompanied by the cello, which was bowed
as often as plucked. Some contemporary bluegrass bands favor the
electric bass in an effort to avoid transporting a very large yet
delicate instrument on road trips and tours, but it has a different
musical quality than the plucked upright bass. The upright bass' slower
attack and its percussive, woody tone gives a more "earthy" or
"natural" sound than an electric bass, particularly when gut strings
are used.
Common rhythms in bluegrass bass
playing involve (with some exceptions) plucking on beats 1 and 3 in 4/4
time; beats 1 and 2 in 2/4 time, and on the downbeat in 3/4 time (waltz
time). Bluegrass bass lines are usually simple, typically staying on
the root and fifth of each chord throughout most of a song. There are
two main exceptions to this "rule". Bluegrass bassists often do a
diatonic "walkup" or "walkdown" in which they play every beat of a bar
for one or two bars, typically when there is a chord change. In
addition, if a bass player is given a solo, they may play a walking
bass line with a note on every beat or play a pentatonic
scale-influenced bassline."
