Simple Blues Chords for Bass, How to ...

This simple chord technique for bass guitar does fill in nicely in certain blues tunes or jams, especially during lead breaks in 3 piece bands where it can sometimes fall apart without a rhythm guitar. Remember, you're striking 2 strings at once when you're playing those chords, I didn't mention that in the vid.

I've been teaching myself to play bass for the last year or so.  Felt like a hit a road block... started watching a lot of your vids and I can already see/feel/hear a difference in my playing. So from one Canadian to another -- thanks, Pudsy!
