    In this video I show you five Boogie Blues bass riffs that you can use for any shuffle Blues songs. You can easily plug these riffs into the 12-Bar Blues progression and also play them with a straight feel for Rock n Roll songs.
    This bass video tutorial is suitable for absolute beginner bass players through to intermediate bassists.

    This is a great introduction to functioning Blues Bass runs for beginners. That's not to say that these riffs are not used by veteran blues players on a daily basis. But those five patterns are all a beginner needs to play many many blues songs. You can always embellish a bit later on when more comfortable. And when I say embellish I mean perhaps adding a chromatic run or maybe turning one of the quarter notes into an eighth note or triplet pattern. Young bass players need to keep in mind, do not overplay. Do not busy it up. It's not how many notes you play, it's how you play the note you choose. I wish they had people out there like Greg when I was learning how to play bass. Heck, there wasn't even an internet or home computers back then. And TV was black and white with five stations with rabbit ears for reception 😂

      😂 cheers Mike. I had a record player and one bass magazine to learn from. My mate wired up an input to the record player for a bass signal! Then things got really modern and I got a Walkman!

      @@GregsBassShed I love what you're doing for young bassists. Keep it up Greg. A record player and a book were the only tools available to you, and look how well you developed your craft. If I were in the early stages of Bass playing, I would sign up for your courses in a Jumping Jack "Flash". Or in a New York minute. Or any other term you'd like to use for immediately. Keep up the great work Greg, and I would urge any young bassists reading this to study with Greg. He gives you the tools necessary to develop on the instrument. No showing off, no fancy noodling up and down the fretboard to impress the viewer. Just the meat and potatoes of what it takes to be a good bassist. ♥️ 👍

      The mistake is just in the transcription. You would never hear Greg play the F# in this context. Playing a major 7th here goes against the grain big time. It wouldn't be a mistake a pro like Greg could make while playing. His fingers and ear just wouldn't allow it.

    Great lesson, love those boogie shuffles. Not being pretentious Greg, and I apologise in advance, but I think there’s two F naturals instead of F# in the transcription.
    Might be worth a little lesson on “What I’d say” by Ray Charles. It’s in two parts, but part one is all that’s needed, really.
    Another fine blues tune with a strong social message is “Backlash Blues” Nina Simone.
    Thanks again for a great fun to play lesson.

      Someone else pointed out my mistake but I appreciate you letting me know. It's frustrating but I can't edit a RUclips video once it is published. I've put some text that comes up at that point of the video to point out the mistake but that only works if Subtitles are on! Cheers

    Great lesson Greg. These are really good pinky workouts too. If you're a new player, just transpose these sequences to start at the 5th or even the 7th fret and your hands won't have to make those big stretches.

    • @GregsBassShed
      @GregsBassShed  Год назад +1

      Good idea Allen, it’s great to be able to play in all keys. But it’s also good to develop your ability to shift properly down the bottom end of the fretboard as you will often have to play in keys like G.
