In this video I show you five simple Blues bass riffs that you can use for any shuffle Blues tune. These riffs are based on the pentatonic and Blues scales so will sound great and have that 'Blues sound' to them.

The Blues shuffle feel is one that you need to understand to play at Blues jam nights and gigs so in the lesson I explain the differences between the shuffle and the straight feel.

You can use these five shuffle riffs to spice up your 12-bar Blues progressions.

This bass video tutorial is suitable for beginner bass players through to intermediate bassists.

Very nice! It would be even better if you mentioned what is going on with your right hand. The muting is not always obvious.
