š My full beginner bass course: yeah.bassbuzz.com/bluesbox
Take your beginner blues bass to the next level. The Blues Box gives you fail-proof notes for your bass lines. (as seen on TV!)
Grab the 7 Formulas Cheat Sheet: bassbuzz.com/go/blues-box
In my last beginner blues bass lesson I showed you how to survive a 12 bar blues using two simple shapes. You can check that out here if you missed it - youtu.be/tiloGr59WOg
In this video Iāll show you how to take the shapes concept to the next level using The Blues Box to create tons of kickass blues bass lines.
The blues box is just 4 notes that form the shape of a box on your fretboard (hence the name). By changing the rhythm and order of notes, you can pull tons of bass lines that work great for blues and many other styles.
After I teach you how to play the Blues Box, weāll put it in action with some killer real-life blues tunes, from Susan Tedeschi, Eric Clapton, Otis Redding, Junior Walker, Taj Mahal, and Gary Moore.
Then Iāll take you through a simple 4-step process you can use to come up with your own Blues Box bass lines on a 12 bar blues, plus some tips for applying them in context without making your bandleader furious.

![How I Would Learn Bass (If I Could Start Over)
š My full beginner bass course: https://yeah.bassbuzz.com/how
If I could learn bass all over again, THIS is what Iād do differently. And no, itās not practice more with a freaking metronome.
Ya know when you first start learning an instrument, and youāre SUPER PUMPED?
But then the novelty wears off, life starts getting in the way and you find youāre practicing less and less?
THESE are the critical moments that make or break you as a bassist. How you respond in these moments dictates whether you stick with it⦠or not.
But if typical bass lessons, about [scales] and [fretting technique], are the solution in these tough moments⦠why do some many people give up?
Because playing bass - and sticking with it - is more than just learning the āouter gameā of technique and theory. If you neglect your āinner gameā you run a serious risk of doing what I did - realizing youāve p*ssed years up the wall, which is a charming British expression for wasting your damn life.
So lemme show you the secrets to the āinner gameā of learning bass, so that you donāt waste years playing badly and learning slowly.
*King actually pulled this quote from Philip Rothās āEveryman,ā from a character who is quoting the artist Chuck Close. Most writers and artists share this feeling, but Close gets the quote cred.
