"A Dangerous Meeting" @MercyfulFateOfficial This is a deceptive bassline that can show the true skills of a player. It starts off sounding very simple, with a steady groove on the open E string, broken up by a few melodic motifs. But much like the other songs in the @MercyfulFateOfficial catalogue, there is a lot more to it once you look and listen more closely. We have bar lengths changing throughout, melodic details appearing in different areas of verses, huge tempo changes and a rapid tremolo of E that needs to be kept consistent.

In the early 1990s, other alternative rock acts suc...
