how to play bass for beginners - i shot the sherriff

http://www.how-to-play-bass.com

This is another lesson in my series of lessons for beginners on how to play bass lines to real world tunes - in this case I shot the sheriff by Bob Marley/Eric Clapton.

There's a sketch PDF that goes with this lesson - it's got the bass line in music notation and bass tab. To get it you have to head over to my website and sign up for my free monthly
ezine.

If you're a beginner and want to get better, head over to my website and check out my online bass lesson program - play bass by learning songs not scales.

PS - if you see me using the index finger of my right hand a lot in this video, it's not me trying to be cool or anything, I sliced the top of my middle finger earlier in the week and it hurts like **** to play with it!

@gie27yo I'm guessing this helped you? In which case, that's great. And great that you took some positive action and did something! Keep at it.

Great lesson for a guitar player who has to play his own bass parts like myself when recording. Well I dont really have too, but bass players can be such prima donas.

@benthemiester Ha ha ha - that's what we bass players think of our 6 string cousins! Touche!

not to be negative at all, but i dont think this is for beginners, i think u need to have practised for a while before u can play like that ..
