GENIUS Trick Every Pro Bassist Uses

There’s a ‘trick’ that just about every bassist uses that takes their bass lines from ‘OK’ (or even ‘meh’) to extraordinary. 

And the best part?

You don’t need an encyclopedic knowledge of music theory or even to know your fretboard that well.

To use this ‘trick’, you only need 3 frets, but those 3 frets can make a MASSIVE change to your bass lines.

In fact, this technique isn’t truly a ‘trick’; it’s more like an essential component of the language of playing bass. 

It’s just that this particular piece of the language is super easy to start using, and it can make a huge difference to how your bass lines sound.

The 7 lines in today’s video from artists like Paul McCartney, Nate Watts and Metallica show just how common it is.

You may even start using this trick yourself and notice it in tons of other bass lines as well. As soon as you know what it is, it’ll start jumping out at you.

By the way, I mention in the video that this rule is something I include in my 21-Day Beginner Bass Challenge. If you want to check out the entire challenge and go from rank-beginner to being a competent bassist in 21 days, be sure to join the challenge.
