Blues bass riffs are just about the perfect thing to pull out of your arsenal at a blues jam session.
Why?
Because if you play some authentic blues bass riffs, it signals to all the other people playing that you know and understand the language of the blues.
And it doesn’t hurt that you know these riffs will sound good in advance.
Have you ever been to a blues jam session, but been too intimidated to actually get up and play with other people? I get it - those things can be scary if you’ve never been to one before.
Or maybe you have done it, but it didn’t go as well as you would have liked. Maybe you’ve even ‘bombed’, which leaves you completely deflated.
So what’s the solution? How do you give yourself the absolute BEST chance of nailing it? How do you make sure you leave the jam session on a high and feeling invincible rather than getting home and not even wanting to look at your bass?
Simple - get to know the language of the music!
How do you do that? By straight up playing (or you might say ‘borrowing’ or even ‘stealing’) existing bass lines or riffs that you know are going to work in advance.
So in this video, I want to show you exactly how to do this and where to start.
These 5 vintage blues bass riffs would be perfect to pull out of your arsenal at your next (or your first) blues jam session. We’re going as old-school as Muddy Waters and as modern as Cream and it’s going to be a great time!
Some of the riffs can work over a ton of blues tunes, while others are specific to individual songs. The more of the blues language you know though, the better chance that you’ll nail it when the jam session comes around.
If you want to practice these riffs for yourself, be sure to download the tabs, notation and practice tracks by going to this page:
becomeabassist.com/blues-bass...
And filling out the form above. It’s 100% free and it’ll help get you up to speed using these riffs for yourself.
Good luck with the video and let me know if you get the chance to use any of these riffs soon - I’d love to hear about it.
Cheers,
Luke
P.S. Here are all the songs I talk about in the video:
Song 1 - • Muddy Waters - Hoochie...
Song 2 - • John Lee Hooker - Boom...
Song 3 - • Video
Song 4 - • Albert King - Born Und...
Song 5 - • Cream Crossroads

Thank you so much, Luke! These basic blues riffs can have universal application to many blues pieces and they can enable a novice bass player to fit in at a jam session, or to hang in there if called up on stage at a local venue. They are really valuable to know and have at one's fingertips if needed. Thanks for your generosity in sharing them for free!

@haroldbeck4351
@haroldbeck4351 Год назад
It seems to me that that the TAB for final measure--the second G7 that starts at about 4:05--is notated incorrectly. What I hear is that on the first two beat Luke continues the doubled octave-sevenths, then the last two beats are the fifth played once followed by the eight note plus triplet that leads back to the start of another round of the twelve bar chord structure. Or am I not correctly hearing that last bit Luke demonstrates?

This is an awesome video, but as a beginner I am struggling to understand how chords relate to what we play on bass, the section around 1 min 50 sec has me confused... why is there no tab for the notes and why does the sheet music have diagonal lines. And what does the 4 chord mean.
@Doogusty
@Doogusty 3 года назад
I don’t know anything about sheet music so I can’t help ya there but I can do my best to answer your last question about the 4 chord. So when you here someone say the 4 chord, the 5 chord, the 7 chord, etc they are talking about the chords that fit into whatever key they are playing in. A very common chord progression in rock and blues is a 1 4 5 so I’ll use that as an example. Let’s say we are talking about the key of E that would make the 1 4 5, E A B (E=1 A=4 B=5). If you want to find the 4 or the 5 in any key all you have to do is choose your key and find that note on the low e string (let’s say you choose G) to find the 4 all you have to do is go to the note right bellow it on the same fret (3rd fret in this case) which would be C and then to find to find the 5 you just go a whole step up from the 4 chord so in this example that would be 5th fret A string so a D. Hope this helps feel free to ask if you need more information or you need me to clarify anything further.

Definitely roll the tone most of the way off on your bass. I recommend learning how you like your amp settings too. I like treble all the way down. Mids around 9 O'Clock. Bass around 3 o'clock... Also finger placement. Playing closer to the neck will be rounder...... Bass!!!!

Luke from Become A Bassist how do you go about remembering dozens entire bass riffs/ tabs for gigs?
@BecomeABassist
@BecomeABassist 3 года назад
Great question @Alex Bull. I don't think in terms of fret numbers or tabs. If I'm playing a full 4-hour+ gig and I have to remember that many numbers, my head would just about explode. Instead, I'm thinking of the sound of the song/riff/bass line and mapping that to whatever key that song is in. So instead of thinking 2nd fret on the G-string, 2nd fret on the D-string, 1st fret on the G-string, then 2nd fret on the G-string, I'm thinking: I'm in the key of A: Root, 5, 7, Root And I know the *sound* of all those notes. I don't have perfect pitch or anything - you don't need it. But if you can take a step back from the tabs and see the bigger picture, everything gets WAY easier. I sort of talk about that in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sVTiW4dC5NU.html
@PeterBeens
@PeterBeens Год назад
You say that the first lick is in the key of G, and then you play D, F, and G. But aren't the notes for the G key G - A - B - C - D - E - F# - G? I'm just trying to learn bass theory so this has me confused. Can you clarify?
@BecomeABassist
@BecomeABassist Год назад
Great question @Peter Beens. The blues actually doesn't follow the rules of 'standard' music theory which means that in general, the blues *_doesn't_* fit neatly into a standard 7-note key. The blues uses something called 'modal' harmony, which means that every chord in the song will use its own unique set of notes rather than simply using the shared notes of a key. When someone says a song is a 'G blues', they usually mean that the song starts and ends on a G chord, but that doesn't necessarily mean using the G major scale. If you wanted to go deeper, you could say that in a G blues, you might use a G Mixolydian sound over the first chord (which will usually be a G7) and over the next chord (the C7) you can use a C Mixolydian sound, and a D Mixolydian over the D7 chord. None of these scale originate from the same place if you're looking through the lens of traditional music theory, which can be confusing. In general, trying to explain blues harmony through the lens of traditional music theory isn't always the best way to go - especially if you're still in the process of learning the 'standard' music theory. That's not to say you can't do it; just that it'll be a bit more confusing at the start. My recommendation would be to really get your head around the standard music theory first (things like keys, scales, chords and modes) and once that's well-engrained, seeing how the blues 'breaks' those rules. If you have specific questions though, I'll do my best to answer them - or point you towards videos that might help answer them for you.

@BecomeABassist

I’m not sure ‘afraid’ is the word for it, but a lot of basses have open strings that have a very different tone than fretted notes. it’s easier to control your tone if you use fretted notes rather than open strings. It’s mostly a preference thing.
