There you are, innocently holding your bass, and somebody puts you on the spot. “Hey, you play bass right? Play me something!”

Some bass shredder licks oughta do it, right? Wrong - normal people are immune to the charms of extreme shreds.

Soooo you try playing a bass line from a popular song, that oughta do it right? But most bass lines that work great in the context of a song sound really boring by themselves.

So what the hell should you play?

I tested dozens of riffs on real people and found the 7 that consistently drop jaws to the floor. In this video, we’ll tackle 7 riffs that will teach you:

- How to impress normies, even as a noob
- What “playing with attitude” actually means
- Defeat muscle fatigue when playing fast riffs
- Sound confident (even if you’re not)
- An easy way to adapt hard riffs for your level
- The nitty gritty details that turn the basic into the bass…sick. I’ll show myself out.
