Creative Bass Technique Exercises – 7 Basslines

Musical sounding exercises are one of the best ways to practise. If it sounds good to your ear, you're more likely to whip out your bass and start playing. We all know that consistent practice is the number one way to realise your full potential so any edge you can get will give you an advantage.

I wrote a whole book of these types of exercises and in this video lesson, I show you my favourite seven.

The book is split up into sections covering harmonised scales, pop, rock, blues/RnB, funk, jazz, and drones. You can buy the book here.
