Use them throughout the song to add colour and shade to your playing. Sound instantly more musical.
They are also useful to add a solid foundation to your tunes. And as they were traditionally seen as a part of a bass player’s skillset, not many guitarists use them. This is your chance to sound unique and stand out from other guitarists. This is a very useful skill to have.
Other players will ask you to show them these runs. They can even be used as solos.
To Go Fast, Go Slow
There are many paradoxes in life.
Some statements are true. Some are Untrue. Some are both!
This sentence has seven words. Clearly, untrue.
So the opposite must be true. Or is it? Hmm…
This sentence does not have seven words.
That brings me to the statement “To Go Fast, Go Slow.”
This is a comprehensive course in the key of E. The good news is that you do not have to finish the course to start using what you learn straight away. In fact, the best way to use this course is to go slowly.
You can start straight away by learning one pattern. This will consist of a repeating pattern played over 2 strings of a given chord.
It is as simple and as quick as that. You can stop there and start using that pattern in your playing immediately.
When you are ready, add the next pattern. This will build on the run of the previous pattern and will be a logical extension of what you have already learned.
Now you have two patterns. And lots more possibilities at your fingertips already.
I Don’t Have Time?
You simply learn the pattern once for each of the 3 chords in the Key of E – E, A, B7. You do not need to know how to play B7 to play the pattern as it is simply a simple pattern of notes, repeated. You can stop once the first pattern is learned, use it straight away and continue with the rest when you decide that you are ready. All patterns build on the previous one. Surely it is worth the effort to be the player that people remember?
I Am A Beginner
Everything is broken down into note by note pieces with no impossible to play finger-breaking patterns, just simple, logical, finger per fret repeating patterns. The videos break everything down into bite sized pieces and lead you through each key and chord note by note. You will learn by repeating each run slowly. These are not going to interfere with your playing; they are going to improve your playing.
Learn By Doing
You play along WITH each video. This is not a course where you watch me demonstrate each technique and then you try to figure out what I just did and decipher it. You play ALONG WITH ME. I break each run down into tiny pieces and we play them together as we learn the whole pattern for each of the three chords. So you are going to have to work – but not too hard. Once you have learned one, the rest are easy as they follow the same logic. And, I try to make sure that we have fun while doing so.
However, the more that you use the patterns the easier it will be to play it in a variety of tempos and musical styles. It is learning by doing but still can be implemented immediately.
I Cannot Read Music
You do not have to be able to read music to learn how to add bass patterns to your guitar playing. Also, the videos are very clear shot from two points of view. Everything is broken down clearly. And slowly.
All examples taught are notated in TAB. There are .pdf files for you to download and keep.
This All Sounds Complicated To Me
I understand your fear. I want you to imagine how you felt just before you learned your first ever guitar chord.
Imagine how you feel about the same chord Now.
Learning to play walking bass blues patterns is no more difficult than learning your first chord.
Using this course, it becomes a simple skill that any guitar player at any level can learn.
