there's also about 2 beats in the B'z song "It's Showtime" where there's nothing but the vocals and it works just so amazingly well. Likewise for Oomph's "Augen Auf." I love those unexpected rests that you know are there but always forget about when you're singing along and look like a fool in front of your friends.]]> Bass Players Discussion Kitsune https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-90130 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-89479 Sun, 13 Feb 2005 23:27:52 +0000
some of you believe me to be completely doolally, i'm fine with that.

The whole point of this question was to see how people viewed silence in music.

Silence can be a very effective tool in ones musical arsenal. It is a noise (or lack of) and can be every bit as effective as the perfect chord/cadential progression.

To my mind, the silence in immigrant song is like a cresting wave, an eye in a storm, a brief respite from the onslaught, before the wave/storm/onslaught begins anew. It's a perfect break and I think the song would be terrible without it.]]> Bass Players Discussion el_warko https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-89479 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-89404 Sun, 13 Feb 2005 07:07:39 +0000 Bass Players Discussion Steve-0 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-89404 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-89372 Sun, 13 Feb 2005 04:14:30 +0000 Bass Players Discussion paul donnelly https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-89372 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-89369 Sun, 13 Feb 2005 03:37:33 +0000 Bass Players Discussion Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-89369 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-89365 Sun, 13 Feb 2005 03:08:41 +0000 Bass Players Discussion xg5a https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-89365 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-86783 Wed, 26 Jan 2005 11:48:27 +0000 Bass Players Discussion greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-86783 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-86775 Wed, 26 Jan 2005 10:18:02 +0000
A tacit is a rest basically. A place where no note is played. At least thats what I think it is, I seem to remember it as that. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hmm. I dont know. Immigrant Song is a good one.

I have no idea.]]> Bass Players Discussion TaylorR https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-86775 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-86772 Wed, 26 Jan 2005 10:00:13 +0000 Bass Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/greatest-tacit-rest-in-rock/#post-86772
