Bitchin' Blues Bass Lesson

If you don't know your blues scales I would recommend getting a book of bass scales or just studying them online. Playing blues style bass isn't super technical. It's all about feel. Remember when you waved at that girl and she gave you the finger? Write a song about it. Remember when your mom caught you flogging your dolphin? Write a song about it. That's the blues.

I really like your tone. What's your EQ set up like?

[DarrenLikesDanger]

@sailedchimp I turn the mids down to 4 and the bass & treble up to 7. Then I turn down the bridge pick up a little bit.

12-bar blues based music is the only music I can truly play because that's the only kind of music I truly FEEL

@paulkiss1981 That's what I'm talking about brother

Is that what you youngsters call spanking the monkey these days? I think we should be told.

Hey Darren.....I really like what you're doing!....I've been playing kind of part time for 20 years between old standard country and some 70's & 80's R&R.....I watch your work because I learn something from each sesson....I wish I could pay you!

@DarrenLikesDanger Man, ain't that magic that a person who lives in Europe and has never been across the Atlantic (me, aparently) truly FEELS that 12-bar stuff and all around it, blues scale in particular. Aint that magic.
