Guitar and Bass

朝は散歩。
Out on a morning walk.



The other day I had a gig playing guitar for a blues band. This photo below is from a rehearsal we had. I haven't played guitar live for a while now.

先日はブルースバンドのライブを渋谷でやって、下の写真はそのバンドのリハの風景。

久しぶりに人前でギターを弾いた気がする。


So what is the difference between these instruments. The guitar has six strings and so do some basses. yes usually the strings on a guitar are thinner than a bass.

but I guess the biggest difference for most is the role that the instrument plays in the ensemble.

ギターとベースの違いは楽器の違いというよりも、多分バンドの中での役割の違いの方が重要かな。

低域の役割は別にどの楽器が果たしてもいいのだと思う。バンド構成によってそれがチューバだったり、コントラバスだったり、シンセベースか、チェロかもしれない。今あげた楽器はどれもリード楽器/旋律を演奏する楽器になるかもしれない。

So I've another show coming up on the FEB16th where I'll be performing again as a guitarist. Looking forward to this as well.

Hope to get a lot done today.
