Click or tap above to listen to the examples. The loops start the same, but continue with slightly different notes. The difference is subtle, so give it some time and be patient with yourself if you can’t hear it right away. How does the scale affect the feeling of the bassline? There’s no wrong answer. Does one of them sound brighter or happier? More urgent? Ominous? Hopeful? Something else?
