Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On (from Distant Memories - Live in London) bass backing track
A quieter page for one job: get you to the bass version of the song and out of the way.
About this version
If you are here for the bass part, that is probably all you need to know. Open the track, stay with the line, and get a few clean repetitions in.
Useful for
learning notes and movement
Useful for
checking where the line really sits
Useful for
short practice loops before a full run
A simple way in
A version for learning the line, checking the pocket, and playing along without the rest of the mix getting in your way.
Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.
Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.
