4 Hard Slap Bass Lines — One Pattern Connects Them All

All four slap bass lines in this lesson are what you'd call difficult. However, the underlying pattern - a minor pentatonic scale - is an easy-to-learn set of notes you can use to create all kinds of intricate lines of your own.

I'll show you the four bass lines in this lesson, plus how to use the pattern to create your own slap bass lines.

Scroll down for the drum loop plus TAB/notation that goes with the lesson.
