Half note horror's pt duex.

[DerekDRP]

Hey gang. sorry to bother you guy's once again but I got a question on half note's again.

 

Sense I cannot call my teacher late in the evening I stow this question up on you guys.

 

 

Ok in the image taken right from my music sheet is this the correct counting format between to the 2 half note's on the same line right before the quater note?

 

[Emprov]

There are three beats between the two half note. There should be a quarter rest on beat 4 of the first measure. Here's what a quarter rest looks like:

OK, learn to speak in understandable grammar because even I can't understand what your asking.

 

I'm sorry man, but if you want some help you've REALLY gotta learn to use some at least understandable grammar!

Aye i know that would be 4 beat's but I am right about counting half's before i pluck the next half note right?

OK, you haven't been doing TOO good.

 

The best I understand your question, yes, the single half note is the same length as two quarter notes. I believe the exercise is also to write in the correct counting, so you'll need to add a quarter rest or dot the half note. I think adding the rest is the desired fix.

Havn't I been basically doin good on most of my other thread's?

 

An the exercise doe's have a rest in it ( unless we go to the next line wich doe's have a quarter rest )

If I'm understanding you correctly, you'd pluck on 1 and 2, let the note sustain through beat three and mute beat 4. Is that what you're asking?

Bingo BUT instead of 1 and 2 it be 1 an 3 .

The line above would be 1 and 2. The half note is plucked on 2, and held over until 3, then rest on 4.

 

Sometimes you do good on grammar, sometimes not. You've really got to slow down or something, learning bass isn't something that has to be done overnight which is sometimes the vibe I get from you. So when your posting, just SLOW DOWN and try to phrase your question, and please at least spell correctly. Even if your question is phrased really odd and hard to understand (which happens to everyone), decent spelling helps a lot, at least it usually helps me.

 

Not trying to be hard on you, but I do want you to enjoy bass and I do want to help you. And sometimes thats just really hard to do when I can't understand what you're trying to say. No hard feelings.

Give up on the forum??? No way man! The way I see it, this is the ideal way to practice your writing skills and learn about bass at the same time. One stop shopping, where else you gonna get that?

Just relate it to your metronome, get it going at a nice slow pace like sixty beats per minute. In 4/4 time, you get 4 clicks per measure. A measure is click click click click, or pluck pluck pluck pluck if you're playing quarter notes. All the quarter notes should sound exactly the same and be exactly the same length.

 

You can divide up that 4 beat measure between quarter notes or half notes (or eighths or sixteenths or whatever), but it will still be exactly 4 beats long. All the notes in that measure have to add up to 4 beats. If you want to play a half note followed by two quarter notes (4 beats) it'll go like this:

 

tick | tick | tick | tick (metronome 4 beats)

pluck.......|pluck | pluck (bass notes, half followed by 2 qtrs)

 

The half note at the beginning gets 2 ticks, the quarter notes get one tick per note.

 

To play a quarter note followed by a half note followed by a quarter rest:

 

tick | tick | tick | tick (beats on metronome)

pluck| Pluck,,,,,,,,| rest (nothing) (plucks on bass)

 

The quarter note at the beginning gets one tick, the half note on beats 2 and 3 gets 2 ticks, the rest gets one tick, and that adds up to the 4 ticks in the measure.
