Abstract
Abstract It’s time to add pitch instruments, the carriers of melody and harmony, to the rhythmic foundation we’ve built in chapter 1. In chapter 2, we’ll concentrate on guitars of all types, their amplification, and the wide variety of guitar effects produced by electronic circuits and performance techniques. Although the guitar is no doubt the most familiar of all rock instruments, and the most played by amateur and pro alike, we’ll begin our investigation with the bass. As do the drums with rhythm, the bass defines a song’s underlying harmonic structure. So we’ll cover the basic aspects of harmony as we examine both the acoustic upright string bass and the electric bass guitar.
