Are you a bass player that really wants to get into jazz but keeps finding reasons not to?  Well, I know just what you need – you need a GROOVE!  So many of us learn our instrument by grooving – playing repeated lines and digging into the rhythm, and honestly, jazz seems very detached from that comfort zone far too often.  But the reality is that there are so many songs in jazz based upon grooves and they can be a great connection point for any bassist.

Jazz is so much fun and I’d love for every bass player to experience it, so I’m going to share four essential jazz bass grooves with you – for FREE!  I’m going to give you:

  • Sheet music for each of these lines, written in both musical notation and tab
  • Video tutorials for each bass line, demonstrating the line on both double bass and bass guitar
  • Some historical context for each line with musician and album names
  • A playlist with classic recordings of each line

Whether you play upright or bass guitar, these lines will give you a good taste of jazz.  So let’s get started!  Just enter your info below and you’ll get a message to get you started!
