3 Chapter 5, EXERCISES, Page 3, General Introduction General Introduction The exercises of mine are small pieces introducing various styles, standard phrases on the bass, technically demanding sight-reading pieces and solos for bass. The bass player, who has learned the notes and the basic bass techniques, should start with the style and sight-reading examples straight away, whereas bass players who are not that keen on note reading might prefer the standard phrases as a shortcut to styles and bass phrases. I once spent 4-5 years learning all these phrases the hard way, i.e. stealing them from other bass players live and on record. The phrases come in handy when you are about to play in an unknown style. You are also supposed to know most of these standard phrases to play on your own without notes. In other words, knowledge accumulated by bass players through the last 100 years. A NOTE All musical examples written and orchestrated by H.W. Gade The standard phrases, though, belong to all musicians. Another NOTE All the Bass Parts are written for a 5-string bass, but should be pretty easy to adopt to a 4-four string model

28 Chapter 5, EXERCISES, Page 28, STANDARD BASS PHRASES STANDARD BASS PHRASES The standard phrases in this book are but a few examples of the thousands of phrases in rock and jazz. Nevertheless, they should be sufficient for the beginner, making it easier to start playing in a band. In a couple of years, the bass player will have developed his/her own style - or stopped playing the bass. Phrases, you see, can be a good tool for the novice, but the sooner you start playing yourself the sooner you become a good musician. The phrases are not part of specific chord progressions, but can be employed with various chords. If the phrase does not fit certain chords, for example minor or major seven, a note will be made below the phrase. All the phrases are shown in A-major. BLUES, STANDARD PHRASES

33 Chapter 5, EXERCISES, Page 33, SIGHT-READING SIGHT-READING The sight-reading exercises are real life examples similar to the style examples but much longer and often rather complicated. This is not beginner s stuff but a challenge to the ambitious bass player. Listen to the music and choose the examples you like best. After you have learned to play them, move on the other examples and play them as well. After you have learned all the examples, forget them and make your own music with your band instead.

59 Chapter 5, EXERCISES, Page 59, HARMONIZING A TUNE HARMONIZING A TUNE This is a short introduction to the noble art of harmonizing a vocal melody. There are exercises in different keys in both functional and transitive harmony environments. It is a practical tool when the band starts writing your own tunes or the keyboard player has forgotten the notes and nobody remembers the chords to the interlude. IMPORTANT You must have read the All Aspects of ROCK & JAZZ /1 Music Theory or a similar music theory book plus the first 4 chapters of this book before you start learning the harmonizing techniques. Harmonizing a tune can be a very complicated affair. I will never forget when I was supposed to arrange the famous Billie Holiday song My old Flame back in I simply could not figure out the chords, even with the record playing along with the piano (I was saved by a choir arrangement of the song, where I could spell out the chords from the voices!). Bass players, as well as guitarists and keyboard players, should have a basic knowledge of setting chords to a melody. The complexity of the task depends on the degree of transitivity in the tune. The more transitive *) the tune is, the more likely it is that there will be surprising chords hidden in the functional modulations. That is a poor consolation, of course, to the unfortunate bass player sweating over an incomprehensible tune and its hilarious and unexpected natural harmonies. *) Transitive harmonies, see All Aspects of ROCK & JAZZ /1 Music Theory, Chapter Harmony
60 Chapter 5, EXERCISES, Page 60, HARMONIZING A TUNE FUNCTIONAL EXERCISES The first goal is returning to the tonic chord, which means designing an elegant and simple cadence progression. - You can use a standard cadence ostinato (see All Aspects of ROCK & JAZZ /1 Music Theory, Harmony), if that is appropriate according to the style. - or, you can extend the harmonies according to your style and liking, only remember to end with a cadence. TRANSITIVE EXERCISES Here come the problems: 1 Start analysing the keys of the tune. 2 Having finished the analysis, determine a suitable chord to end key I. 3 The function shift of the chord to key II can be found / selected in the function shift table in All Aspects of ROCK & JAZZ /1 Music Theory, Harmony. Or you may figure out a new and exciting functional shift yourself (preferable). 4 Follow this method with the next keys, each key modulating into the next key through a functional shift. 5 Within each key, you may either use functional cadences or extended, free chord as explained in the previous section. 6 The last chord in the last key can either be the tonic of the key or a finale in free style. NON-FUNCTIONAL HARMONIES / FREE TONALITY These seemingly complicated musical forms are surprisingly easy to harmonize, as the tune will often be based on a unison theme or ostinato figure, typically in the bass. THE HARMONY EXERCISES Exercises 1-4 are functional exercises. They are relatively simple and exercise 1, in addition, has a 2-part tune to ease the harmonizing. Exercises 5-10 are not easy or obvious. I am quite sure that the talented student will come up with harmonies radically different from my own original chords. But this is exactly the challenge with transitive harmonies, the many possible solutions and the freedom. Before exercise 5, I have included a tonal analysis of a transitive melody to show how to figure out the keys.

68 Chapter 5, EXERCISES, Page 68, BASS SOLOS BASS SOLOS A number of bass solos to learn by heart or for sight-reading. They are all written especially for this book. I have tried to come up with some artistically right solos where the virtuoso part of soloing is kept on a minimum, giving way for the melodic and the organic build-up of the solo. Opposite the sight-reading exercises, which can be played on your own, the solos should be played with a good drummer and a guitar / piano player to produce the harmonies. The bass is a social instrument even when playing solo. These are my prewritten solos. Enjoy and learn what you can. And afterwards, you should make your own bass solos, which will be much better than mine, right?
