Summary of This Method
With 100 Blues Lessons (part of the Bass Lesson Goldmine series), you have a structured program of 100 short and effective lessons designed to develop solid automatisms and musical playing in a blues context. Each module gets straight to the point: a clear explanation, followed by bass lines and riffs immediately applicable, presented in notation and tablature. The content is reinforced with playing tips, scale diagrams, chord charts, and photos to quickly visualize shapes and save time during practice.
The method covers a very wide range of styles, techniques, and essential concepts for the bassist: blues scale, 12-bar blues, turnarounds, swing, box shape, Rhumba, 12/8 slow blues, palm muting, bends, arpeggios, reading and understanding chord symbols, as well as rhythmic interaction with the kick drum. You will also explore regional colors and stylistic approaches (Chicago, Texas, New Orleans), not to mention expressive techniques like double stops. Finally, style references are addressed to refine your language and intention (Willie Dixon, Tommy Shannon, Jack Bruce), to help you sound more "bluesy" in your walking bass lines, grooves, and fills. The online audio, with performance demos of all examples, supports you in working on feel, swing, and nuances as close as possible to the musical output.
