Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Much like one with an off-center hole.

Does Beat Girl even have a lead guitar? It sounds more like a bass to me, because I thought the horns were carrying the melody? (Granted, it's not what I'd term terribly melodic.)

Maybe I'm being fooled because that "dim dim dim" sound seems played in a basslike manner.

Another stupid question: are bass guitars picked or plucked or strummed, generally? I'm realizing that I don't know. My areas of ignorance are vaster than even I suspected.

Quick, have her write 500 words on the differences between discordance, dissonance and cacaphony.

Music theory is an enigma wrapped in a roast beef sandwich to me.

Yes. Also, occasionally slapped.

Plucked (with fingers, instead of say a pick or plectrum), thumped, thwaped, hammered, and occasionally bowed.

Though some people do play bass with a pick.
