Blues Basics

beginner guitar free lessonIn this free bass guitar video lesson by Tommy Vickery you will learn how to play a few simple bass lines. We will be playing over track 29, Slow Blues in E, from the Let's Jam! for Bass. The actual track features a guitar chord progression switching between E7, A7, and B7 chords. For this lesson however, we will be play over a loop of just the E7 chord. In future lessons we will learn how to play these patterns over other chords.
