  • Hello GMC!

    -Today's lesson is for beginner bass players.In this lesson you are going to learn what are root notes and gain tools to follow chords progressions on your bass successfully.

    -You will practice simple fingerings and right hand picking techniques to get you started on bass.Learning this lesson will enable you to jam along with songs you like.

    -This lesson is in the key of A major.

    -Key: A

    -Tempo: 120 bpm

    -Time signature: 4/4

    -Tuning: standard

    -Difficulty: beginner

    Equipment I used for getting this sound was: Peavey Cirrus bass with active soapbar pickups, equal mix of both of them with added treble and middle on onboard eq - then going to the nemesis (eden) amp with a 1x15" and slightly added bass and treble there (at 1 o'clock position).

    Feel free to ask me any questions in the lesson feedback and in my instructor board at forum.

    Enjoy and I hope you'll have a lot of fun jamming in this one!
