Hello friends! We continue with the bass guitar lessons (Part 4). Today we are going to learn some basic patterns suitable to play Salsa and latin rhythms.
You may practice with the tones you prefer as long as you follow the suggested patterns.
Hola amigos! Continuamos con las lecciones de bajo (Parte 4). Hoy vamos a aprender algunos patrones básicos aplicables para tocar Salsa y ritmos latinos.
Puedes practicar con los tonos que prefieras siempre que sigas los patrones sugeridos.
Variation 1 / Variación 1
In this variation we play the base tone (first tone) accompanied with its 5th tone. For example, if you are playing C then accompany it with G.
Remember that we may locate the 5th tone on the immediate string below the base tone (first tone), 2 frets forward.
En esta variación tocamos el tono base (primera) acompañado de su quinto tono (quinta). Por ejemplo, si estás tocando DO, entonces acompáñalo con SOL.
Recordemos que podemos ubicar la quinta en la cuerda inmediata inferior del tono base (primera), 2 trastes hacia adelante.
Variation 2 / Variación 2
In this variation we play the base tone (first tone) accompanied with its 5th tone, later the 8th tone (located below the 5th tone, same fret) and then back to the 5th tone.
For example, if you are playing C then accompany it with G, later C (higher), and then back to G.
En esta variación, tocamos el tono base (primera) acompañado de su quinta, luego la octava (ubicado debajo de la quinta, mismo traste) y regresamos a la quinta.
Por ejemplo, si estás tocando DO, entonces acompáñalo con SOL, luego DO (una octava más alta) y regresa a SOL.
That`s all for today. See you in the next post where we will see some basic Merengue patterns.
Esto es todo por hoy. Nos vemos en el próximo post donde veremos algunos patrones básicos de Merengue.
