This beginner-friendly disco tune is perfect for refining your fingerstyle technique. This bassline is built around melodic, chord tone-based lines and disco octave grooves, two key elements that make disco so much fun to play.
🎸 What You'll Learn:
• Chord Tone-Based Lines: all great basslines are built from chord tones, and this one is no exception
• Disco Octave Grooves: Eighth note-based root-octave bass grooves are a big part of disco
• Melodic Lines: This fingerstyle workout opens with a simple bass solo, giving the bass a chance to shine
• Use of Repetition: All good basslines contain repetition, which creates familiarity and helps to distinguish the different sections of a piece
🎸 Gear Used:
• Bass: GB Guitars Spitfire Bass
• Strings: Rotosound stainless steel (.040, .060, .080, .100)
• Recording: Tech21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI
