Rutger Gunnarsson is probably the most famous ABBA bass player, but Gimme Gimme Gimme was recorded by Mike Watson, and it's an absolute stone-cold classic of a bass line.
This was actually a joint request from a subscriber and my eight-year-old daughter, so I had to make this lesson.
I ended up using Tomplay, which is a great piece of software that generated the TAB/notation and backing track (which I didn't use for this lesson because of monetization reasons, but I will post soon).
I have an affiliate link where you can try it out for free, and if you end up signing up, I get a small commission at no extra cost to you (this helps my channel to keep these free lessons going).
Here's the original for you to listen to. Pay attention to Watson's note lengths on the octave line sections. He plays them staccato (short and detached), and that's the key to making it groove.
Use a metronome at a comfortable tempo to get the timing and feel together. The line involves a lot of string skipping and hand shifting (especially in the chorus section - my favourite bit!).
Here's that Tomplay free trial link again. I like having the option to play to a backing track and read at the same time. I read the notes, not the TAB, but the TAB's there if you need it.
