I have been playing bass for a while, but I've just started picking up guitar to play on my own recordings. I wrote a song on bass as I usually do and I wanted to know what my option are as far as what notes on the guitar I can play over it. I don't want to play note for note what I'm playing on bass (as I usually do). Can I play the root and another note over the bass line even when I'm not playing the same notes on bass? For example I wrote a song in the G Blues heptatonic scale. The bassline is kind of busy so there is no way I could play it note for note on guitar. Any advice would be appreciated.
