Hi Alfred - check out my bass lessons syllabus here if you are planning to get into playing bass guitar: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...=29466&st=0
The easy approach would be : 1. Find out the chords of the song you wish yo play 2. To jam with the bass along the song, you would essentially only need to play a root note of each chord (here is a lesson on root notes) For example if the song goes like this : Am - F - G - Am ...to jam along the song you would only need to play these notes on bass : A - F - G - A ....in a rhythm that follows the song/drums. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

The right guy has answered your question! Once you can follow the progression playing the root of each chord you can start using the arpeggios of them to make even more interesting bass lines. Bogdan's Bass course is very complete so you have all the information there.
Let us know if this is clear now! -------------------- My lessons

Thank you for response.. the song i am trying is in the Key of D major. And in the song E major and Em is also used. so i am confused? If the tonality is D major, the common choice would be E minor, but E Major chord can appear as something that in harmony is called "Modal Interchange". This means that you take a chord from another modal tonality where the root is also D. In this case it seems that the composer took E major chord from the Lydian mode. Modal Interchange is very interesting and adds too many possibilities and colours to progressions. What's the song? Could you please share it and also the whole progression? -------------------- My lessons

My advise would be to check out our Theory board. You can post any questions you might have about the chord progression and theory behind it and get a quick answer : click here to post a question
_________________ If you have both E and Em - when it comes to bass jamming, you can still play root note E over both those chords. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
