Two Bass guitar grooves for 1-5 highlife progression

We are going to talk about two bass line grooves that you can play for the 1-5 highlife progression. When we talk about the 1-5 progression, we mean the doh – soh progression. Remember that different highlife songs carry different progressions, so don’t expect that these basslines would work on all highlife songs.

These bass lines are more popular with the juju highlife songs. You know all those yoruba bands that play at weddings, burial and other ceremonies. Most of their songs(not all oo) don’t go beyond the 1-5 progressions. Even celestial churches too, most times they sing on the 1 – 5 progression throughout.

You can watch the video above for an illustration of how the bass grooves sound.

The first bass line is:

doh soh   reh soh

While the second one is:

mii fah soh reh
lah fah soh doh

Before you begin to question me on how it sounds, watch the video illustration to know how they sound.

Enjoy.

Computers and laptops have become a big part of our lives. And they also need ‘assistants’ to perform better, longer and faster. Your personal assistant can be upgraded with a variety of accessories. Shop computer accessories
at https://jiji.ng/computer-accessories including Batteries, Bags, Cases, Chargers, routers, cooling pads and so much more. 
Wireless Mouse 
A wireless mouse will be a perfect addition to your laptop or desktop. These days mouses come with a new great feature as a built-in battery, that automatically connects to your laptop and is instantly ready to use. No more cables getting into your way.
Spare Battery 
Everyone who has ever used laptop away from the power outlets knows that laptop’s battery life is not that long. But you can extend it with an additional battery, especially if you work outdoors or away from power outlets. When buying a spare battery, it is important to pay attention to its compatibility with your laptop: the battery must be manufactured either by the laptop manufacturer or by a company that guarantees the compatibility of the battery with the device.
USB Lamp 
Usually, such lamp is compatible with any notebook or PC by plugging into any USB port. No external power supply is needed as it is powered by laptop or PC through USB.LED light is rated to average 8,000 hours of use. Typically, these lamps are equipped with a flexible neck so that it can be positioned any way you wish. The lamp is lightweight and easy to carry On the Plane, in a meeting or in bed. 
Hardshell case 

 

Protect your laptop with a hardshell case. They are lightweight and made of durable materials that protects your laptop from scrapes, scratches, and scuffs. The case offers protection without sacrificing access to ports, lights and other useful buttons. Ventilation slots promote continuous airflow for efficient device cooling. The color palette will not leave anyone disappointed and will suit every taste and style. Use a hardshell case for your laptop if you plan to sell it later as it could improve its resale value. 
Cooling Pad 

 

The best way to avoid overheating is a laptop cooling pad, which provides both a rigid surface to rest your laptop on, and high-powered fans to increase airflow and heat dissipation inside its case. But if you find a laptop cooler with fan positioning that properly matches your vent positioning, you won’t really need much more.

Bass line tutorial of “I love you forever” by Tye Tribbett

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:
