"A Dangerous Meeting" @MercyfulFateOfficial

This is a deceptive bassline that can show the true skills of a player. It starts off sounding very simple, with a steady groove on the open E string, broken up by a few melodic motifs. But much like the other songs in the @MercyfulFateOfficial catalogue, there is a lot more to it once you look and listen more closely. We have bar lengths changing throughout, melodic details appearing in different areas of verses, huge tempo changes and a rapid tremolo of E that needs to be kept consistent. And I know I'm not alone in saying this - sometimes the basslines that seem the most simple require the most concentration. Just the steady syncopated groove on the low E needs care and attention to sound consistent and correct in it's dynamics and note length every time, while keeping locked in with the other members. So this is a great one to try, at any level of playing.
