| Bass... |
I have written a song...
It goes like this:
(4/4) | Dm | F | C | Am |
Do you have any idea of how I can play the bass?
Like a melody or something...
I also play piano on this one, so it's kind of a ballad...
*The song begins with piano chords (as above).Then I play a melody (piano)
Then the guitar fades in with the chords. And then, the chords change:
| Dm | Em | Dm | Em | F | C | F | C | F | G |
| Dm | F | C | G |...*
Could anyone find out a melody to play on the bass?

The thing is...
I'm not much of a bass-player...
I can learn it, but since I don't know what you're talking about...
I don't know how to "simply root the chords and add a chromatic tone between chords"
Can anyone please explain that to me?
Like... I can read tab...

Heh. Dm, F, C, Am
You're playing the third, the seventh, and then the fifth (as I see it) of D.
D E F G A B C D E F G A B C
So, with your bass you can either play the root note (Of D is D, of F is F, of A is A, of C is C) and then the note between. D E F (On the bass, notes not chords) But when going to A from C, I am saying play C A# A.
Pretty simple but it works for your purposes.
[edit] And try to swing the notes in the transition, hold the first one longer then play the last two rapidly.)
