#113 - The Fastest Way To Write Basslines (Patreon)

My fellow bassists,

By popular demand, here is the lesson on using music theory to write bass lines!

This is probably the fastest method for writing bass lines that I know. As long as you have some music theory knowledge (which I go over in this video), then you can write a bassline for an entire song just by writing a 2-bar motif (a short musical fragment).

Once you've written that motif, you just have to move it around and modify it to fit over each chord and section of the song, and then you've got yourself a full bass line! For this reason, I call it the Modified Motif Method.

After watching the video, make sure to download the tracks, chord chart and worksheet, ESPECIALLY if you're confused by the theory - there's a section at the bottom of the sheet that should help you out.

Thanks for coming here and practising with me, have a great weekend and I'll see you in the next video!
