Christmas Wrapping Bass Lesson

[greghagger]

Hey, I’ve just released a video lesson on the bass line to Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses, and this is one funky bass line, recorded by bassist, 'Tracy Wormworth'. 

 

In the video, I break the tune down section by section and show you a simplified version of the main bass riff that still works perfectly with the original track. You’ll get a core riff you can reuse throughout the song, plus all the key variations you need to sound convincing.

 

To make it easy to follow, there’s a free PDF with notation and TAB so you can learn it note for note at your own pace. Just hit play, grab the PDF, and you’re good to go for any festive jam, gig, or recording.

 

Also look out on the channel for my play-through video of this simplified bass line with the original track which is coming out next week. 

 

Enjoy!

A great track, and a great bassline. 

 

 

It has been a long-held ambition for me to learn this.

 @bass_dinger great song! I’d recommend starting with the ‘generic’ main riff that I start off with in the lesson. Tracy Wormworth constantly makes small changes to the riff but this is her main idea. Have fun!

@greghagger You shared that lesson at the exact right time - with my commitment and ability, I will have learnt it by November 2026!
