how do i make my basslines more interesting in parts where the chords stay the same a for a while? i'm just alternating between the root, the 5th, and the octave but it sounds boring. what else can i do to make it more interesting?
if the chords are not moving, then your new boss is the melody/lyric. do in the bass whatever it takes to make the melody/lyric feel the best. try many different things. you never know what it will be
