But you are right, it's a good bassline.

I'd recommend getting a copy of the Cello Suites and learning the simpler movements.

You can't go wrong with anything by Bach, actually. If you're not a great sight-reader, try picking up a copy of his 4-part chorales and read the bottom line of each. Good practice. | You can read all 4 parts of the bach chorales to work on different areas of the bass. I actually downloaded the 371 bach chorales, edited them, and seperated each line as its own exercise. |
