Alrighty thennow that we know the basic blues chord progression and how to read and follow a basic chord chart let’s talk about different grooves, or styles of music. Its one of the wonderful things about music that the same thing can be played and interpreted in so many different ways, and convey totally different feelings.
So lets start out playing example #2 with a straight 8ths groove. Straight 8ths means that we will be playing a steady stream of 8th notes with no syncopation. Well start just pumping out the root and then use the pentatonic scale to construct a bass line that will certainly sound familiar. Let your fingers do the walkin!

Hey there! Interesting video, Thanks! There is this impressive Guitar Lesson site at "Brendt Mastery Guitar Playing Guru" (maybe try googling it)? My wife learned impressive playing skills less than a month! They are giving a free lesson too!Â

sir, may i know what is major pentatonic skills, how u arrange that melodi ?
Honestly he makes even a simple groove like this sound so fricken good.
I see that, I just think this should not be labeled as a lesson for "beginners", more like a lesson for novices or some more advanced level. Have a nice day 🙂
This is just a sample. He has a full 40 video tutorial set available for $20. See links in the description.
pretty catchy
have your fun,but this dude is a fuckin god! look him up…STU HAMM BOSS!
I agree.
I was scrounging around the youtubes for a kind of start point for when I start teaching and I thought this would be good.
He hasn't explained anything about walking or scales 😛
Shoot me a pm on youtube or something and I could see if I could help you with that
I'm really sorry but how is this for beginners, i checked all vids and i really don't know how to put my left fingers yet o.O i'm not flaming i just want help or some links.

This was VERY helpful thank you so much!! You should look into a band called skillet there a really good christian rock band they are SICK!! You should make a video to Lear there songs
How do you play Dave Ellison for Megadeth wake up dead please help thanks
Learn major scales. once you learn them, the pattern applies anywhere on the fretboard. Just google major scales for bass guitar and you will probably get tons of results back showing you how to play them. Then learn a pentatonic scale and hey presto. Bass lines like this are a walk in the park
He uses a combination of C (3rd fret on the A string) F (1st fret on the E string) and G (3rd Fret on the E string) and 'chugs' away on these in Eighths. He then uses the pentatonic of the major scales of these notes (learn major scales, the pattern is simple) and plays these an octave higher before going back to the 'chug'. Hope this helps
he expects you to already have watched a previous video about scales, so he's just playing in the scale.
Check Out My Channel for Instructional Bass Course…
nice
would help if he told you what frets he's going to be hitting…
He should play without a shirt on like Flea.
Wait, sorry but I don't get the motion. Do you put your fingers on the string your plucking or do you not? Stupid question I know, but I can't see the motion he's doing.
my god it hurts like hell to hear RHCP then listen to this
this isnt 4 beginers this is total s**t
knowing music theory helps kids, at least get your aeolian and ionian down
thumbs up if you began to play bass for about 2 hours ago xD
You're right… it's "eighths". There is such a thing as an "eighth note"… and "eighths" would just be a way to describe multiple (or plural) eighth notes.
@jacobromu On the other hand "eights" is a word. Like "halves".
that is a COOL ASS BASS!
"egiths" is not a word.
@TrueFireTV thanks man! im gonna buy a bass guitar this coming summer 😀
Woo I can't wait to play like this.
Where can we get the tabs for this, the major penatonic scale? It sounds really cool
