Lasse Gjertsen Bass Guitar

Jason Atkins' take on Lasse Gjertsen's "amateur" composition.

After my quote, I threw in some improv over the loop.

If you've never seen Lasse's composition, you're missing out. Here's a link:

[mrsamyboy]

this not a bass people..

this is called a guitar!

[LLroomtempJ]

@mrsamyboy no. actually, it's a bass. two extra strings on top no more makes this instrument a guitar than one extra strong on the bottom of a (7 string) guitar makes it a bass.

When people call me for gigs and i show up with this instrument, they say "oh hey, our bass player is here. great"

[deaniepops]

turn the clicks of man. nice tune though,

[LLroomtempJ]

@deaniepops soooooooooo many people are annoyed by the clicks. They don't bother me at all.

[MikroBadass]

should invest in a six string electric guitar

[LLroomtempJ]

@MikroBadass extended range bass is the way to go. When i play in bands, i play bass lines and rarely use the upper register. But in my room, the extended range opens up a world of opportunity.

also - if i were to purchase a guitar, i would def go with a 7 string. a 6 would be confusing b/c the bottom string would be a low E. I'm used to the low B. :o)

@mrsamyboy yes its calld bass-guitar..sixstring bass..hey if you dont have any knowledge of that stuff, just shut up!

Is there any way you can make tabs of this?

[Peppeblackmetal]

Im sorry but it just sounds like an exercise

[TheKathja]

'Lasse'? Dude, are you danish?

[hojima]

@MikroBadass Why? This has totally different string spacing, fret spacing, attack, action, its in a different fucking octave. This is a different instrument, stop this horseshit.

[pusmana12]

WOW...When i look at your left hand it looks like its dancing around o.o

[SubliminalAttraction]

Great fluid playing and a nice tone. Good timing. Cool.

Doesn't matter whether you are black or white to play bass. Bass is not better than guitar its just different, has a different musical job to do. Real musicians are not in a competition they are in a creative endeavour.
