Flea's C'mon Girl bass line is crazy! It's 112 BPM of relentless 1/16th notes and a fantastic technical challenge should you feel brave enough to take it on.
In this bass tutorial, I'll show you the main bass lines, but also something else scary: there's no TAB!
I don't apologise for this. I understand why many players love and rely on TAB, but using it doesn't promote using your ear.
So, here I'll show you the patterns, intervals, and scales going on so you can gain a deeper understanding of what's going on.
This will help you in the long run.
C'mon Girl - Red Hot Chili Peppers (Flea)
Here's the original. Take note of the structure of the song. It's not tricky to learn, even if the bass line itself is quite difficult.
On that note, slow it down, use a metronome set to a slower tempo, and build speed gradually. It will come.
