                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I find it hard, though I don't sing lead or anything. I think it just comes down to playing the bass line *really* slow and seeing how your vocal line works with it and then going over and over with it. I remember trying to do Demolition Man by the Police, and wound up just having someone else sing it. The bass line was really syncopated and *off* from the vocal, though when I watched a video of the Police live, there he was (you know who), playing that line and singing it just like the record. I think it must be like playing a drum kit: you got that hand over there, doing that, and the foot is going down over there -- I just simply could never do it.<br><br>Hopefully it's not something that's just plain talent, so that the rest of us can have a hope :)]]></content:encoded>
