you know the stereotype... a guitarist a bassist and a drummer, and also acting as vocalist, the punk power trio...
there's another power trio... what genre? anything outside of bagpipes formula 1 sounds crowds at a football match and knocking on a door... genre? music... music!
the alt. to the punk power trio? a song... say
vocals, acoustic guitar (rhythm, no hair-metal solos that would never give way to air-guitar competitions - jerking off that invisible ***** shoved up your ***?) and a bass guitar, perhaps a double-bass...
simply begun, simply ended... the best e.g. i can think of?
forget not understanding the lyrics... it's all about life, drinking, chripsing girls, taking them to the cinema, sleeping on park benches, heart attacks... making ***** money... eating grand ham with a side-dish of *****...
bass guitars don't do solo outside of jazz... but in jazz all instruments get a chance to solo... if you want a song that compliments a bass guitar, keep the guitar to a rhythm and a rhythm alone... and imagine! no **** from the drums!
