This is second in a seven-part series on how to write basslines. Here's part one, which features pop and reggae. All seven basslines come from the key of G Major. Don't worry too much if you don't understand all that stuff; I explain it in the videos and it really isn't that hard to pick up (but it is very useful to know!).
