Just Pick Up Your Bass And PLAY! [Step By Step Bass Tutorial]

Improvising on bass is so fun but how do you do it??

Get ready to pick up your bass and jam without thinking too much.

What's required is a blend of knowledge involving theory, fretboard awareness, technique, and rhythm.

The video lesson below will show you the tools you need so you can go away and start building your creative skills.

Don't worry if it all seems like a lot. It's just a mix of the basics.

  • If you're interested in supporting this website whilst also becoming a great bass player, check out my comprehensive course From Beginner To Bassist.

The course contains the foundations you need to be able to improvise on your bass (and much more...)

I talk about harmony and knowing the chords from a key. These lessons will fill you in on the details (plus I talk about it a lot in the course).
