Playing like John Paul Jones? Not easy. But at least this will give you a head start on it.<\/p>\n
To note: If John sounds out-of-time, he’s not. Ramble On<\/em> is a type of song where the bass player essentially has to “follow his own metronome in his head”, so to speak. There’s really not much synchronization between the instruments, so John pretty much had to forge his own timing that would work with the other instruments heard. <\/p>\n In true JPJ style, he made it work. As an isolated bass track, the lines he uses sound disconnected because when separated from the other instruments, they are. But believe me, the lines are are in-time, even though they don’t sound like it.<\/p>\n
