Bass #12 Rock

We’ll be looking at specific techniques and know-how to play riffs and bass lines of classic Rock songs. As much as possible, we’ll give you some suggestions as to how you can practise and develop what you’ve learned, so that you can use it in your own playing.

 

 

What we’ll be covering

This time we’re looking at bass lines and riffs from the likes of: Led Zeppelin, Free, The Who, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, The Doobie Brothers and more.

The real gems are the discussion points and in-depth explanations live in the lesson. Over and above learning the bass lines/riffs properly we’ll discussed how you can use them elsewhere in your playing.

These sessions are a virtually theory-free zones! We also develop classic riffs that you can use to wow friends with when you get that inevitable question, “you play bass, give us a tune”. We delve into  the:

  • best fingerings and fretboard areas to use in order to play cleanly and smoothly
  • core techniques to get the right tone
  • rhythm to achieve ‘that groove’

The song choices will be made just before the sessions but suggestions are always welcome.

It’s always best to attend live rather than just buying the materials.

As ever, the session comes with a comprehensive set of support materials which are tailored to the actual session.

 

Materials

  • Lesson PDF – this is usually provided after the live session. This means that the PDF is comprehensive and focused on what was actually covered to fully complement the live Zoom recording of the session.
  • Any backing tracks used will also be made available.
  • A Zoom recording of the complete live session.

 

Who’s this session suitable for?

Beginner to intermediate players (bass and guitar alike).

 

Home practice

The session is 60 minutes long; don’t expect to master everything during the session. The tutor will go through all the key parts, demonstrating them and discussing the associated techniques and know-how.

The real work is done by you afterwards. Armed with the materials (PDFs, backing tracks and video  recording), you’ll have all the tools to work on things at your own pace.
