Question for DUers who understand music theory

[Miles Archer]

2. Thanks...I meant "odd" in terms of bass players who are strictly timekeepers.

Many players just anchor themselves to the root note / chord being played. It's what separates musicians like McCartney, Entwistle, and others from that group.

I heard the song and then found out that on that album, it was just the Gallagher brothers and Alan White from Yes on drums. Noel played all of the other instruments, so it's someone who is primarily a guitarist tackling the bass, and it was a noticeable element to the songs, not simply rhythm.
