Description
In this lesson, we'll learn another classic left hand technique, called "Bass Runs".
A Bass Run is a short series of notes that lead you from one chord to the next. In the context of this rhythm pattern we are working on in this section, the bass run will take place as the "Three Four" count of a measure of music in 4/4 time.
In this lesson, we'll learn Bass Runs in the key of C.
From C to F, the Bass Run notes are: D and E (open 4th string, 4th string 2nd fret).
From F back to C, You simply retrace your steps. The Bass Run notes are: E and D (4th string 2nd fret, open 4th string).
From C to G, the Bass Run notes are: B and A (5th string 2nd fret, open 5th string).
From G back to C, You simply retrace your steps. The Bass Run notes are: A and B (open 5th string, 5th string 2nd fret).
In the next lesson, we'll put this technique to work and play along with a country band.
