"Musical freedom and Fripp inspired inspiration kick started this song and eventuallyit developed a life of it’s own and we just tried to do it service. We knew with this piece

we would could leave everything behind and just explore! It was the last song we wrote

before recording Focus."

GUITAR NOTES

SECTIONS F, H & O – JASON’S CLEAN PARTS:The Guitar IV part of these sections are the parts that Jason plays in the live versions of the song. The

fingering for the part is more like a chord than anything in that he barres the 4th

fret with his first finger and keeps his ringfinger planted on the 6

thfret of the D string at all times. The middle finger is used to apply the fifth fret/E string and the

pinky finger is used almost in a metronomic fashion on the seventh fret/D string. This section can be a little awkward toplay upon first learning but It gets easier with a little practice. Remember, the key to being successful at this part is allabout feeling the flow of the rhythm.

SECTION J - JASON'S CLEAN PART:

This jazz section features only two repeating chords and is quite easy to play. Both Paul and Jason mirror eachother at the beginning of the section here with the exception of the style in which they each play the chords. While Paul isbackpicking them in a classic jazz fashion, Jason plucks each individual chord with the tips of his fingers thus adding aslightly different nuance to them. Underneath the chords in the tablature that this technique applies to you will see a “(^)”notation. This indicates that these particular chords are to be plucked with the fingers rather than with the guitar pick. Inorder to keep your playing fluid, however, it is important to keep the guitar pick between your finger and thumb as younormally would at all times and use the free fingers on your right hand to do the finger picking as required.

BASS NOTES

KUBICKI FRETLESS BASS:Sean’s instrument of choice for the recordings on Focus is the fretless bass. One of the greatest strengths of 

the fretless bass is that it handles both slides and legato slides smoothly and without the encumbrance of the frets gettingin the way and breaking the sound of the slide up into semitones. Because of this, you get the full range of microtonesbetween the beginning and ending points of the slides and Sean uses this to it’s full effect throughout the Focus album.

During the recording and touring for Focus , Sean Malone played a Philip Kubicki Ex-Factor fretless bass. This

particular bass has a unique feature on the headstock called a “D-Extension Clip”. This handy clip allows you to "D" tuneyour "E" string almost instantaneously, without changing string tension and not having to transpose, effectively allowingthe "E" string on a 32 inch scale bass to be released to a longer "D" scale of 36 inches which was highly effective for Seanboth in the studio and on stage. He used this feature for 3 of the 8 songs on the album: Sentiment , I’m But A Wave To…,and How Could I, all of which the bass is tuned down to a Drop-D tuning simply by releasing the “D-Extension Clip” at theheadstock of the bass.

The patented string clip is available only on the Ex Factor . While holding the bass in playing position, you pushthe spring loaded string clip up with the thumb of the left hand. Pull the string out from under the clip head with your finger and release the lever. You are now in concert tension "D" and all the notes on the scale remain the same - notransposing. Pushing the lever up causes it to re-grab the string, and you're back in "E" again. It's very quick and easy tobecome adept at pushing the lever to the desired position. When the string is in "D" tuning, you also have a "D#" noteavailable.

SECTIONS B-D: RHYTHM A PARTSThese sections are arranged here for standard (or fretless) bass. The dynamic range of the Stick will far exceed

that of a bass guitar at both the low and high end of the tonal spectrum, however, the Stick part for this song was writtenin such a way so as not to exceed the low end range of a bass guitar. Consequently, just by leaving out the higher melody parts normally played on the Stick, Sean was able to perform the song on his Kubicki instead of the Stick at abouthalf of the live tour dates and the song still sounded like Textures . It is in this fashion that the intro parts are arranged for a standard bass in this transcription.

SECTIONS C & D: RHYTHM A PARTS A technique that Sean uses to great effect in these sections is staccato . What this means is to cut a note off 

short of its’ full time value…in other words, to prematurely stop a given note from sounding once it has been played.

Playing in this style will often lend a slightly choppy feel to a part, however, when done tastefully, that can also add a goodbit of purposeful tension to a riff that can’t be achieved by any other means. Often done in classical music, Sean makesgood use of staccato here, although this is more of a byproduct of certain notes being cut slightly short due to the natureof the style of playing the Chapman Stick in which the song was originally recorded.

You can recognize which notes are to be staccatoed by looking at the standard notation staff above eachtablature staff. Each notehead that has a small dot directly underneath it (or directly above the notehead in the case of adown-stemmed note) is to be played staccato. This is not to be confused with a dot to the left or right of a notehead whichmeans something entirely different.

With most stringed instruments in classical music, the common way to play a staccatoed note is to pluck thestring between your thumb and first finger and then unfret the note early by simply letting the string up off the fretboardwith your fretting hand while still keeping your finger on the string so that it just goes mute. Obviously, the tempo of theseparts makes playing the staccato in the classical fashion impossible so it must be done differently…entirely with thepicking hand.

To fingerpick these sections without staccato you would pick alternately using your 1st

and 2nd

fingers (some

may use their 1st

and 3rd

). Either way is no problem. As you do this, you are trying to maintain an even, fluent,coordinated movement so that each picking stroke across the string is exactly the same with the same amount of timebetween each hit. You are also trying to make sure that you are not touching any of the strings too early because thatruins your fluidity and makes you sound choppy, but that is exactly what you want to do here. The trick to fingerpickingthe staccato on the bass for these parts is to intentionally hit each string with your picking finger a split second before youactually stroke the string for the next note. This will cut the previous note short just before you stroke the next note, thus,you have played that previous note in staccato. The skill is in being able to cut the notes short by the same amount of time and to be able to exert control over this factor so that your staccato sounds intentional and purposeful rather than like

 just plain old sloppy playing. This technique does take some practice and it’s not likely that it will come overnight to you if you are entirely unfamiliar with the application. It’s more of a feel for how to play it than a conscious thought of doing sobut once you get the feel for it, it will click right in for you and prove to be quite a valuable, rewarding tool in your arsenal.

CLASSICAL VIBRATO:Sean’s use of vibrato on the bass throughout the Focus album is very elegant and tastefully done. To achieve

this he uses a technique commonly used on instruments such as the violin, cello and classical guitar. On a regular electric guitar vibrato is usually done by quickly bending the string from side to side across the neck with your finger. The

Page 36: 07 Textures Copy

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/07-textures-copy 36/36

way Sean does all of his vibrato is by the more classically oriented method of pressing the fingertip straight down on thefretboard and then, with the fingertip planted, rocking the hand (rather than the string) forward and backward along thelength of the neck. This creates a more subtle but highly distinguished vibrato effect.
