hi guys, like to learn and be able to play some blues/rock bassline.
my theory is terrible. i can only remember a few notes.
came across this:
12 bar Blues is just a cycle of a riff that can be placed anywhere on the fretboard and you can determine where you play by knowing the root note of the first chord.
This is because 12 bar blues is based around this
root, root, 4th, root, 5th, 4th, root, this is repeated over again, a good way to practice finger placement is to get a couple of friends (or a drum machine) and to improvise over this structure. if you're wondering how I came up with this structure it's taken from the major scale.
G|---------------2--4--5|
D|------2--3--5---------|
A|3--5------------------|
E|----------------------|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
the main blues/jazz riff is just playing
1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 6th, 5th, 3rd
ive finally understand this!! wooooohoooo. anyway, is there other important or "must-know" wadever this is called, basslines or scales to learn? good if u guys paste me some websites.
