Hey everyone,
I am in a NYC/Long Island based Dead cover band called Unbroken Chain. Anyway, I am the Jerry guy and we have a new bass player and he is having a helluva time with the bass accompaniment to my diminished runs. I am not a bass player, but near as I can figure, Phil is on the off beat and is not playing every chord in the run that I am playing with my arpeggios. Actually, he seems to have the diminished runs themselves, but the other accompanying parts to the other arpeggios. So he has the F# dim run and he has the G# dim run.
Where he is losing it is at the following arpeggios: Em7, Bm, A, Bm, G, D, C, G, Am
I am pretty sure he is all right with the last part of that run, which is the D, C, G, Am arpeggios. But the em7 all the way through the G seems to my ear to be Phil playing some sort of an off beat, not actually hitting every chord. I can hear it but I see why he is having trouble replicating it, because I can't replicate it on the guitar or his bass.
Can anyone give any help here?
