Hey, is this the same chord structure as With or Without You? and Don't Stop Believin'? and the first part of the progression on the verse of Let it Be? and I'm Yours? and You're Beautiful? and Forever Young? and Can You Feel the Love Tonight? and Amazing? and Under the Bridge? and Waltzing Matilda? and Barbie Girl? and Kids? and Torn? and Canvas Bags? and Birdplane? and Africa?
'Cause it sounds like it is...
-
Active : Uses a battery to get a strong sound, great attack (metalic and active sound, for slap, as example)
Passive : Doesn't use a battery, classic sound (plastic sound).
Pros about active : great sound, less vibration
Pros about passive : no battery to care about
If i'm wrong, i hope someone will correct me

Dave I like how you are cool and clear,so eloquent and self-sure...thats good for us all who want to learn.I'm into Reggae but I like different technics as well.Thanks for you time and willingness. I like your specifying mode...?finger,?Fret,?String. God Bless.



ive been learning musical theory for about 5 years, and im pretty sure what you call an "anticipation" is an "anacrusis" even though thats probably not the correct spelling :P

Rhythmically, you are correct, but I'm using the term anticipation also to describe the fact that he uses a specific interval ( a semitone below) each time to lead into every chord. That way, when we hear the first note, we can anticipate what the chord will be...

Hey dave marks, doesn't the with or without you bass line by U2's adam clayton sound very much like the so lonely bass line? are those two the same lines?

Well spotted - they have the same chord movement. However, i felt that the rhythm and the techniques were different enough to learn a lot from both.
