how to play porn music
 

any one know how? guitar or bass, doesn't matter. i couldn't find anything online.

thanks!

I can't claim to be a master of the style, but you need to ask a more specific question.

-Is there a particular piece from a movie you want to play?

-If the music isn't for guitar or bass, how do you intend to address that?

-I don't watch much porn (many full films anyway), so I don't know if "porn music" is really a style unto itself. I know we're all thinking about the "bow chicka bow bow" music, but if that's what you want to play, you should probably looking more at how to play funk and R & B.

70's and early 80's porn music can be emulated with an electric guitar, lots of muted strumming, and a wah-wah pedal.

no particular piece, and for guitar or bass. i meant whether it was for one or the other didn't matter, either. it's the bow chicka bow bow music i'm looking for. i'll look into the funk/r&b.


thanks, this sounds very helpful. i might actually even have a pedal as part of the pod i have... just need to learn how to use it.

Yeah, if you're looking for a 70's porn groove sort of sound, it's just a lot of strumming and mashing that wah pedal. There is no bass as I understand the 'style' (term used loosely) but I imagine if you want to add a bass line you could, just play go really heavy on the slap bass. You're not looking for subtlety here.

Kickin' bass and the almighty pedal of wawa...

These are the mainstays of porn music.

Listen to the previews for samples?

This is my quick porno-music recipe:

Connect your wahwah pedal (crybaby or whatever you have). You've gotta have a wah to play classic porn music.

Turn up your amp

bar the bottom four strings (D G B E(the thinnest one) anywhere along the fret board (preferably about half way up); this sets up a cheaters minor 7th chord. Mute your low E and A (or just don't play them).

Strum back and forth on sixteenth notes while stomping on your wah pedal at an interval that feels funky to you.

After two measures of this (ie. 32 strums) slide DOWN two frets for two measures then slide up to the original fret for two measures again and keep doing this until the scene is over.

Edited: because I finally had time to sit down and play it and realized I had misinformed the public.
