What notes would a bass player use to simply get the job done? What are the basics needed to get through a song? We discuss the best practical approaches.
Professional bass players are called upon time and time again to play bass lines that make a song work, improve the groove and get the job done in as little as possible.
They do this by aiming for the ‘Money Notes’. Not just because they are getting paid (although this is a contributing factor), but because they work for the song and, of course, the chords that are being used.
This bass session looks at how you can play the ‘Money Notes’ and make sure all of your bass lines work equally well.
High Beginner to Intermediate bass players.
This session might also be useful for lots of guitarists.
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.
When you book you’ll have two options:
1. You want to join the live Zoom session.
You’ll receive the joining instructions on the day. Being live, you’ll be able to put your own questions directly to the tutor during the session. Choose option 1, Live lesson and materials.
2. Maybe you’d like to attend but can’t make it on this occasion?
You can buy the materials and receive them after the session (i.e. lesson PDF(s) and access to a Zoom recording of the live session). Choose option 2, Materials only.
