How To Play Bass Guitar – Lessons for Beginners – Straight Eigths Rock
FULL COURSE: truefire.at More free guitar lessons – bit.ly On Twitter – www.twitter.com On Facebook – www.truefire.com Alrighty thennow that we know the basic blues chord progression and how to read and follow a basic chord chart let’s talk about different grooves, or styles of music. Its one of the wonderful things about music that the same thing can be played and interpreted in so many different ways, and convey totally different feelings. So lets start out playing example #2 with a straight 8ths groove. Straight 8ths means that we will be playing a steady stream of 8th notes with no syncopation. Well start just pumping out the root and then use the pentatonic scale to construct a bass line that will certainly sound familiar. Let your fingers do the walkin!

It would be nice if you would tell us which notes or frets you are going onto since your bass doesn’t have fret markers. Its hard to follow the first several times I tried to play along.
