  • Hi Dan, awesome blues lesson, thank you. Getting patterns down, especially in the blues is vital to up and coming bassists, and just starting out bass players. Getting those patterns learned gives you confidence in band practice and jam sessions. Building an armoury of blues techniques will take one a long way on the bass journey, and these lessons will give a rock solid base to expand upon.
    Enjoy your holiday Dan, best wishes to you all.
