This is an original song I made over the last weeks that I would like to share with you. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for sticking around! Miguel The idea started while trying to make another (yet unfinished) song. I thought it was getting too complicated and took on some accidental playing on my guitar. IContinue reading “Practice Versus Perfect”

Hold Out Your Hand / You By My Side – BASS AUDIO with TRANSCRIPTION
This clip includes the same audio that I recorded in 2008. The bass audio production was improved and slightly over-mixed to make it more audible. Youtube’s audio compression is much better than 2 years ago and that largely improved the results. Thank you very much Simon Gilman for another excellent contribution with the transcription!

Starship Trooper – BASS AUDIO with TRANSCRIPTION
This is an old cover from 2001 where I added some non-bass parts played on the bass, to fill in for “Disillusion” and the guitar intro of Würm. The tremolo effect is a Boss TR-2 pedal, while the final fuzz was done with the multi-effects Boss ME-8B, along with it’s octave effect at the veryContinue reading “Starship Trooper – BASS AUDIO with TRANSCRIPTION”
Astral Traveller – BASS AUDIO with TRANSCRIPTION
This is the first contribution from Simon Gilman, who made his bass transcription of Astral Traveller. I added the same audio of my original audio bassline from 2008, with a slightly louder bass in the mix. Hopefully it will sound a bit better (along with the apparently better audio encoding of YouTube) . Download theContinue reading “Astral Traveller – BASS AUDIO with TRANSCRIPTION”
More from MIA 2010
Two more sessions where I played at the MIA 2010 festival of free improvisation music.
New State of Mind
MIA 2010 – Free improvising session
Over the last weekend I had the privilege to attend the first edition of the free improvisation encounter at the town of Atouguia da Baleia – MIA 2010. The format of this festival consisted in making a draw of trios and quartets among all musicians which would improvise together. It was my first experience withContinue reading “MIA 2010 – Free improvising session”
To Be Alive
A beautiful song by Billy Sherwood. Also a good example of how to make use of the 8-string bass, letting the notes shine, keeping it simple and focus on the timbre of the instrument. The top two strings are tuned in perfect fifths (just like “Changes” or “Hearts”)
Close to the Edge (iv – Seasons of Man)
Onward – A “Rickenbacker Kiss”
An idea that was inspired by the story (many of you may know) behind the very end of Safe (Canon Song). I am playing my 4001 CS bass which is unplugged. Holding it against the back of my (plugged) 360 guitar… a Rickenbacker Kiss. I experimented with different guitar tunings that would resonate well withContinue reading “Onward – A “Rickenbacker Kiss””
