Product Information

The lyrics may sound corny to you, but the melody and rhythm are still way better than contemporary music. The notes are spaced apart to avoid a muddy sound - something that a bass guitar is prone to with its low frequencies. One the whole you’ll find bass guitar chords featured in more progressive styles of music such as jazz and fusion music.

If you have a C6 chord, your notes will be C-E-G-A: C-E-G are the first two 3rds of the C major scale, the same triad we already mentioned in the simple C chord, and the A is the 6 in your C6: A is the 6th note in the C Major scale - an extension of the triad of C-E-G.Because we can see that the notes we are left with are the root, 3rd and 5th, we know we have a C major chord.

You'll find all of these "rules" constantly being broken in all modern music, because there are no hard set rules in music - just guidelines to help you along. However, bass players do in fact play chords, they usually just don`t play every note of it at a time. If you’re a bit more experienced, this is a great song for those interested in experimenting with improvisation.To follow Bell’s example, make sure to practice those staccato notes and keep it as tight as possible. The song is the band’s most successful single, reaching double platinum status in the UK and platinum status in Australia.
