Bass rhythm and octaves

Same notes, more movement.

Lesson 2 of 4

A bassline gets its character from rhythm as much as from pitch. Here the bass keeps playing the roots, but on every eighth note.

Eighth-note roots

Every eighth, the root of the chord.

A steady eighth-note bass drives a song forward; it is the engine of a lot of rock, pop and dance music.

Octave jumps

Jumping between a note and the same note an octave up keeps the harmony identical but adds bounce. It is the classic disco and house bassline.

Octave bass

Low, high, low, high: the same note in two octaves.
