Hi, welcome back. This is Week Four of Bass Lessons in the music coach program. This week, we're going to continue on working on using different rhythms in our a section bass part. And also we're going to add in a part that ties in with the melody. So at the tail end of our a section melody, we have a little line that connects the last chord to the first chord of the cycle again. This also ties in great with another idea that I want to introduce you to this week, which is how to think slightly ahead about what's coming while you're playing what you are in the moment.
This is a delicate balance. If your mind is too busy focused on what's coming up, you'll sometimes make a mistake with what you're doing. And if you're waiting too long to anticipate what's going on. Come Next, you sometimes will miss your entrance. I like to use the analogy of you drop your hat in the river, and you reach down to pick it up where you dropped it, it's gone, you have to build to anticipate where it's going to be. And when you're playing, in this case are a section.
When I'm on the E, I'm already starting to think about where I have to go for my next note, and as soon as I'm on my G, I'm thinking about now I got to get to see when I'm on C, I'm thinking about I got to get to D. And in this case, we're going to play it the D string open and we're going to add our new riff that's going to connect the things together. So the reason why we're going to use the D string open here is that it makes playing the rip that connects the two sections together, much easier to play. The notes are going to be after Sharp, which is going to be played on the fourth fret of the D string with your number one finger, then you're going to play G on the D string, which is on the fifth fret.
And you're going to go back to F sharp on the fourth fret. Then we're going to play e on the D string which is on the second fret and the D string open. So here they are, again, F sharp. She F sharp, E, D, here it is at full speed. Now the end of the line is E which is the beginning of the next group of cores in the A section and we're always going to play the song A Be when we're all done. So here it is in the context of the line, so we're gonna play he gonna play G. I'm gonna play C. Now I'm going to play D string open.
Then I'm gonna play the line. Background In the beginning. One other little note about alternating your right hand fingers. This is a good example of a good place to try an alternate your pointer finger and your middle finger. Because the F sharp to G and back to F sharp is quite fast. See if you can try that out when you're in the practice video.
All right, excellent work, and we'll see you in the practice video.
