Every bass player does it slightly differently, but what if I told you that the overwhelming majority of bass lines could fit into 4 broad categories? Just 4! And each of the 4 categories does something slightly different to the music. Do you want your song to feel big and powerful? There's a 'Type' for that. Want to hypnotize your audience with your bass line? There's a 'Type' for that too! Feel like just locking it down and making the music feel as good as possible? There's another 'Type' for that as well. What about injecting your own personality into the music you're playing? Of course there's a 'Type' for that! Now there is a bit of crossover between all the types. Very few bass lines are exclusively one type. They do exist, but most are a combination of 2 or more types. Approaching writing your own bass lines in this way is great because you simply ask what the music wants, pick the corresponding type and go from there. Now you have a framework - a structure - that you KNOW is going to work. If you want all the tabs and notation for all the songs we went through in this lesson, you can get them for free here: https://becomeabassist.com/the-4-types-of-bass-lines/ Just sign up underneath that page and I'll send you a PDF with all the bass lines, links to the actual recordings, plus my analysis of the bass lines and why they work so well. Good luck with the lesson, and happy bass line writing! Cheers, Luke
