5 MORE Beginner Bass Lines - Guaranteed To Impress [With Tabs On Screen]

👉🏼 Want to go from rank beginner to being a competent bassist in just 21 days? Take my Beginner Bass Challenge here and get started playing - FAST:

[TIME STAMPS FOR BASS LINES]

Bass Line 1 - 0:57

Bass Line 2 - 4:24

Bass Line 3 - 5:42

Bass Line 4 - 7:41

Bass Line 5 - 10:53

This lesson, you’re going to get 5 MORE beginner bass lines that are guaranteed to impress. They’re the kind of bass lines that you can play when someone asks you the dreaded:

‘Play something for me’

Instead of playing a great song with a less than memorable bass line, you can use any of these 5 beginner bass lines to instantly get people hooked and excited about your playing.

They’re catchy, and more importantly, they’re recognizable, and when your friends, family or complete strangers recognize something that you play for them, they’re instantly hooked.

The lines may be simple, but to someone who doesn’t know a thing about how to play music, they hear something they know, and their opinion of your playing skyrockets - almost immediately.

That’s the power of these 5 (more) beginner bass lines.

Good luck with the lesson and happy playing!

Cheers,

Luke

And here’s the Green Day track, but in standard tuning so you can play along with it:

P.P.S. Here’s the link to download the tabs and notation so you can start practicing these bass lines for yourself. Once you nail them, you’ll always have something in your back pocket if someone ever asks you to play something for them:

Hi Luke.
I first bought a white Vox Clubman II in 1968 and it cost me $48 second hand. No amp, so I twisted wires together and connected it to the tone arm on an old Kriesler radiogram. It worked ok. But I made no progress, girls, cars and work got in the way and of course no money. I am 70 years old this year and with my new Yamaha bass and your videos I am making good progress despite bad arthritis, short fingers and cataracts. Being an old fart the challenge of reading music, learning keys, modes and bass techniques and appreciating the technicalities of modern music is keeping my brain active and improving my coordination.
I thought of forming a band next year called "The Wrinkles" or maybe "The Dentures", but two of my mates are having trouble with their hearing aids and the drummer hasn't got room in his Suzuki for his kit and the wheelchair lol. Luke, your lessons are clear, appropriate, and inspirational and as a former educator myself I consider you an excellent music teacher. I needed lessons like this in 1969.
Thank you. Geoff. Adelaide.

and for the last bassline we have hysteria by muse

[katiemcgrath]

my friends are doing schoolwork during quarentine im learning feel good on my dads old bass

[shoobertthedoobert]

Man I found you sooner. I started playing bass a few months agoz but because my finger was broken, i could only play simple chords. Learning these bass lines has been amazing, and its helping with my technique and flow.

[thoams]

my mans bass be looking like a banana skin

[goodmaggie]

Thanks Luke, these are fun. Great lessons.

[kfing]

This is a great confidence builder for newbies - nice work

[zosoxo]

So I have been trying to nail the Longview riff and it was giving me hell and I have to say going back and watching your videos about scales made it so much easier because now I recognize it’s very close to the major scale

[simplybass]

Nice please keep these videos like this coming 👍

[jjslayer]

Thanks man. It took only like 5 minutes to memorize the first one. And it sounds good

[DJCannon]

Your method of breaking down with tabs on display is my favorite Ive found so far.

[odnam]

Great video! very informative, and goes at a very good pace.

[eyelesscrown]

That is a cool looking bass you got there

[rayross]

Radar Love-Golden Earring. Awesome riff indeed.

[huntors]

I love your videos! Just learned feel good Inc on my Ibanez Mikro bass, And I must say, it sounds great!

[peterandersen]

I'd highly recommend learning Hysteria by Muse for beginners, it's really not that hard to memorize and the only thing you have to work on is speed. And once you mastered that, I guarantee you everybody's jaw will drop if you casually bust that out on a jam session.

A little note about the trickier version of Billy Jean: On the recording the string bass plays the simple line, and the syncopated low F# is played on a Moog to have an accented and slightly distorted sound.
Great channel. Subscribing.
