That is why most lead guitarist are lousy bass players, to many notes with no repeating patterns. Been there - done that.

Simple and repetitive seems to be the key to most popular songs, not just bass playing. How many popular songs use the same few chords over and over in the same song? It's a lot. One good example of this is "Can't You See" by the Marshall Tucker Band. Another example is "Free Fallin" by Tom Petty.

Don't forget "Land of 1000 Dances" and its one chord throughout the song.

Or the two bars of cowbell on Honky Tonk Woman. It is thought of as the intro, but, unless my ears deceive, it plays all through the song.

The Japanese have a concept they call "Ma" ... generally "the space in-between", though it actually means a more than that.

Printers generally feel that the most important part of a page is the white-space. Fill the page with text and it's a busy mess; leave large white-space and it's clean, stylish, classy, quality.

So often we feel the need to fill the space with something; sometimes anything. Put two people in a room together and they'll usually talk (even we Brits), because we're worried about the silence; that the silence will look bad.

But the space in-between is vital.
