This is a short tutorial on the bass line that was played in “I love you forever” Tye tribbett. You know that ever bass line is coined out from the chord progression of a song. You can learn the chord progression of I “love you forever” here. Now that you know the progression, you can now see the way improvisation the bass guitarist used in the song. You can watch the video for more clarity.
However, I would still explain what He did here.
The progression of the song goes thus:
I Love you forever.
f
I love you forever.
l s
I love you forever, Lord
f d
So, we have the fah, lah, soh and doh chord
fah chord comprises of: f l d note (major chord)
lah chord comprises of : l d m note (minor chord)
soh chord comprises of: s t r note (major chord)
doh chord comprises of: d m s note (major chord)
Now during the time frame when the bass guitarist is meant to play fah, he added another note to supplement the fah. The other note they added was from amongst the notes that comprises the fah chord which is doh
So we have:
fah doh'(higher octave)
for the time frame where lah is being played they used mi to supplement the lah note
So we have:
lah mi'(higher octave)
When it comes to the time to play te soh chord, the reh note was used to supplement it
so we have
soh reh'(higher octave)
and now when we resolve to doh, the soh note was used to supplement it.
so we have
doh soh'(higher octave)
When we add everything up, we have:
fah doh'(higher octave)
fah doh'(higher octave)
fah doh'(higher octave)
fah doh'(higher octave)
lah mi'(higher octave)
lah mi'(higher octave)
soh reh'(higher octave)
soh reh'(higher octave)
fah doh'(higher octave)
fah doh'(higher octave)
fah doh'(higher octave)
fah doh'(higher octave)
doh soh'(higher octave)
Now that is what we call improvisation. I know this looks clumpsy for you to understand, eventhough we have tried to make it as simple as possible. Just watch the video for more understanding:
