Grand Wazoo Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Fret your E string on the 3rd fret (G) and let your picking hand groove, and the song is done!?? Yeah it's a G from beginning to end! Edited January 22, 2011 by Grand Wazoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) I think maybe this one beats Sly for easiest bassline: Edited January 22, 2011 by EssentialTension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 It may only be one note,but listen to the subtleties-he's playing quavers but he alternates between staccato and legato notes. I've never heard [i]anyone[/i] play that 'easy' bassline so deep on the pocket and not vary it once. Most people struggle with the discipline and the groove.

Wylie Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The Beatles' 'Get Back' has three or four notes. Pretty simple for McCartney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
