This is why you can't scale the equipment down too far.”⁣ ⁣ Have you ever wondered what kind of a bassist the almighty John Entwistle was?⁣ ⁣ Turns out the secret lies in the fact that he and and guitarist, Pete Townshend kept exchanging roles, during the band’s live shows. Entwistle himself noted that he developed what’s considered to be a “typewriter” approach to playing the bass. It involved positioning his right hand over the strings so all four fingers could be used to tap percussively on the strings, causing them to strike the fretboard with a distinctive twangy sound. ⁣ ⁣ This gave him the ability to play three or four strings at once, or to use several fingers on a single string. It also allowed him to create passages that were both percussive and melodic. This method should not be confused with tapping or slapping, as these techniques often predates them. Notable in his left-hand technique was his use of slides, positioning his left hand for octaves, and his use of the pentatonic when playing with the Who.⁣ ⁣ Lastly, he was also notorious for playing extremely high volume at which he played bass, going so far as to rig pick-ups to each string on his instruments.⁣ ⁣ What do you think of him as a bass player? Leave a comment, I’d love to hear your thoughts!⁣ ⁣ #Music #RockNRoll #TheWho #JohnEntwistle #PeteTownshend #RogerDaltrey #KeithMoon (Picture credits: Tom Hill/WireImage/Getty Images) iiii]; )'」12月17日 15時32分
