【爵士課堂】電貝技巧：SD.40 - Ghost Notes，pt.1

Ghost notes (part 1) - Bass lesson with Scott DevinePlaying “ghost notes” or “dead notes” used to drive me absolutely crazy when I was younger and trying to play them while keeping fluidity within my playing. I had heard players like Gary Willis and Jaco, who make extensive use of them and I loved the way they sounded! So, in this lesson, I’m going to give you a couple of exercises to help you on your way before you go bananas. ;)In part 2 of this lesson, I will give you a little groove where you can apply and further analyze what you’ve learned in this one.There are basically 3 ways to mute the strings. You can either:Mute the string you’re playing on: your plucking hand remains on the same string but you release the pressure of your fretting fingers –beware harmonics!Play the string above –higher pitch, muting it with the back of your fretting fingers.Play the string… below, muting it with your fretting fingers.As always, a video should make all that much clearer… Guess what? That’s why I do them! ;)http://www.scottsbasslessons.com/technique/ghost-notes-on-bass-1.html
