Tony Williams: drums, right?

The guy with Miles with the whammy bar was Flea. (Not the Flea with the Chilli Peppers)

I like it Hugh!!! I'd never heard of Counterpoint before, but I think it's something I sometimes do with my stuff. I too apologize for plugging MY own shit, but listen to the bass parts on Majic Wand at:

If you focus on what's coming out of the Left and Right side it's easier to tell that there are actually 3 bass lines going on. Is that Counterpoint?

Counterpoint is, like, Bach.

In music, counterpoint is the relationship between two or more voices that are independent in contour and rhythm and are harmonically interdependent. It has been most commonly identified in Western music, developing strongly during the Renaissance and in much of the common practice period, especially in Baroque music. The term originates from the Latin punctus contra punctum (point against point).

As taught by my music theory teacher from a harmonic aspect there are 3 basic types of Counterpoint ; Parallel Motion , Contrary Motion and Oblique Motion. This is only basic, it gets heavier. There could be perhaps other schools of explanation but that is what I was taught for a basic understanding. Listen to the works written by JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH for a good example of what counterpoint is all about.

WOLF and HUGH are right on the money , Bach was the Master of Counterpoint, 2 part invention and Fugue's, so playing 3 different Bass line's is not counterpoint, there has to be a relationship between them.
I love this place we started out talking about my Bass design and go to Gentle Giant , Bach and now Counterpoint..Totally awesome!

Just in case anyone is interested in music theory, a great source and break down of books to read is Walter Piston's series of book's they break down into groups such as 1 book is for harmony, 1 for orchestration, counterpoint etc.. great reading if you are wanting to learn theory or more on any particular's and application.
