You hit the right notes... but something still feels off. Here are 5 subtle nuances pro bassists use to make it sound on.
When you use these 5 sneaky pro nuances to shape your bass lines, you can tailor the right feel and emotion for the song, and move beyond the “karaoke zone” that beginner and intermediate bassists get stuck in.
In this lesson, I’ll show you 5 bass lines from popular songs that demonstrate these nuances - plus show you how it sounds when noobs blow over the details.
First up is Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down, remember when you couldn’t stop hearing that song? Now you get to hear it again, as an excellent example of the value of connecting up your notes in a bass line.
Then we’ll tackle some Willie Nelson with On The Road Again. Simple bass lines like this are a great way to expose if you’re playing with consistent rhythm or not. (pro tip - you should)
Yellow by Coldplay isn’t just a crowd-pleasing pop song, it’s also a vehicle for some very slick bass slides. We’ll dig into why Guy Berryman added these to the chorus, and how they could affect your bass lines.
Heading back to the world of folk music, we’ll use a top-grade studio bassist trick called “cutting for the snare” to get the bass line right on Proud Mary by Creedence Clearwater Revival, plus I’ll explain when to use it in your own playing.
We’ll wrap up with Best of You by the Foo Fighters, digging into the technique Nate Mendel used to get his bass line to drive super hard. And of course, I’ll explain how to do it in your own parts. (as you probably guessed if you read all this)
