Abstract

Notation of a music piece is an extremely important resource for musicians. It requires mastery and experience to transcribe a piece accurately which lays the path for automatic music transcription systems to help budding musicians. A piece can be divided into two parts namely the background music (BGM) and lead melody. The BGM is an extremely important aspect of a piece. It is responsible for setting the mood of a composition and at the same time makes it complete. There are different musical instruments which are used in a composition both in the BGM and lead sections one of them being the bass guitar. It bonds with the percussion instruments to form the spinal cord of a piece. It is very much important to transcribe the bass section of a composition for understanding as well as performance. Prior to identification of the notes being played, it is essential to distinguish the different patterns/grooves. In this paper, a system is presented to differentiate bass grooves. Tests were carried out with 60K clips and a best accuracy of 98.46% was obtained.
