Who are these guys we hang out with? Are musicians just a bunch of hapless misfits who don't want a real job? How do we, as songwriters fit into this band world? The best way to an understanding of the people we work with and make music with is to look at each member of the band and develop a model of their behavior. This may, of course seem stereotypical, but the following commentaries are at best, generalizations and are not meant to be conclusive, only indicative. There are many exceptions to these cases. (Now I'm really started to sound like Sigmund, yah?)
There are two sides to the human character: one masculine, logical, reasoning, firm and definite; and the other: emotional, feeling, yielding and feminine in nature. The intuitive perceiving side of the human character is feminine. All of us, are composed of differing quantities of the masculine and the feminine. Obviously women's strength is in the feminine qualities and men's strength is in the masculine. This unfortunately leads into a discussion of gender politics and sexual equality which I don't want to get into right here and also is completely besides the point. Therefore it will be easier to think of these qualities as canine and feline.
The canines of this world rule this world. They like law and order and submit to authority and love rules and regulations. The felines of this world are often indifferent to all these worldly restraints. They want to, like, mellow out man. Relax. Sleep in, enjoy life and live for the moment. The canines love routine, the 9 to 5, where the felines come and go as they please, set their own hours and stay out late.
Now how does all this relate to music? Oh, I am so glad you asked that. You see, as you probably already guessed, musicians are feline by nature. Musicians are cats! They like to stay up all night, they are fond of long sleeps and short naps and they love to wail! Is this nuts? Well, listen to this: cats are also highly spiritual animals, being symbolized throughout history with all kinds of spiritual meanings. Cats don't like rules, they are difficult to train and for the most part they do what they want . They also loooove affection and warm bodies to sleep with. They are highly independent and sometimes a bit anti-social. Cats tend to be cranky, high-strung and aloof. Cats are cool. And now to get on with our little psycho-analysis, please make yourself comfortable here on the couch and we will begin. (heeheehee...)
The drummer is usually the one who is hardest to understand. Drummers do what they want when they want and it is at times difficult to get a drummer to cooperate. They are usually uncomplicated, straight forward people. Due to the physicality of drumming, the drummer is usually the athletic type. He wants to bang on de drums all day. Drummers know where it is at. They are no nonsense types with a strong spine and iron will. Don't mess with a drummer cause once they've made up their mind, that's it, game over.
The bass player is the glue of the band. A good bass player is worth his weight in gold. Due to the chronic shortage of bass players (relative to the overabundance of guitarists) he is the hardest to find. Four-strings with no chords is one of the easiest instruments to learn and also one of the hardest to get good at. Bass playing is often a thankless and unrewarding task. The bass is the bottom and many times when a band is cranking you can't even hear him, cause he's lost in the mix. But you sure notice when he's not there. The whole strength and power of the song is lost without a big low end, so be good to your bass player.
He is often ignored and under rated. Many bass players are frustrated guitarists but because of their humble nature he will often perform a more serving role for the benefit of the band. He (or she) is often the "mother" of the group, possessing a kind heart and giving nature. It takes greater dedication and practice to become an accomplished bassi
