greghagger Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Sometimes when at a gig or jam night we can run out of ideas of riffs to use in our bass lines while jamming a 12-bar Blues. So I've put a YouTube lesson together to give you five Blues bass riffs that are very easy to play and plug into the 12-bar progression. In the lesson I also talk about the main difference between the shuffle and straight feel and what this means for us bass players when we are playing Blues. It's important to get this right because you're gonna clash with the drummer if you play the opposite feel to him or her. In the lesson you'll also get plenty of practice playing through the 12-Bar Blues sequence which you should know back to front if you want to play at a Blues jam night. The five bass riffs are on a free PDF with standard notation and Tab. You’ll find the link to that under the video. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/NJ62_CXc1XM Edited October 17, 2022 by greghagger 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
