Converting Classical Music to Electric Bass

Hi, I'm Scott Smith with Expert Village. Right now we're going to talk about a term called counterpoint. A lot of us have heard term "point, counterpoint." It's basically two sides of conversation. Two separate conversations, but put together they give us one meaning. That is basically a musical term also called, "counterpoint." To give you an example it would be a melody like this. That's one half of the counterpoint. The other half would be. So basically it's one melody, played against another melody. Now how is that done today? Well, in Bach's day it was done all on a keyboard, with this hand and this hand. The counterpoint still exists today, but in a different form. A baseline is done as the left hand. You can think of the baseline on a bass guitar as being the left hand, and on the right hand would be an electric guitar, an organ, a lot of different sounds. So, let's give you an example here. Baseline. One half, the other half. So if we combine the two it would be. Point, counterpoint.
