Have you ever taken a bass solo and just knew it was a total flop?
I know I have – hundreds of times! There’s almost nothing as demoralizing as ending your improvisation on bass and feeling like it could have been so much better.
What’s even worse is knowing your solo wasn’t great, but not knowing why, or how you can make it better for the next time.
Do you just need to learn more scales? Should you try that fancy new technique you’ve been working on? Is it the gear you’re using?
Unfortunately, none of these things will take a bad solo and make it good.
So what will make a difference? Well in my experience, there are 3 main reasons any bass solo doesn’t work.
When you know what they are, you can work towards fixing them and take your improvisation to the next level. By the way – this is surprisingly simple to do. Not necessarily easy, but the idea is simple.
In today’s lesson, you’ll learn exactly what these 3 things are and how to fix them so your solos shine!

You could play scales as a solo and as long as you keep the groove it will sound good.
