Blues Bass Lines

Sign in to disble this ad
So I've been playing a lot of blues lately, mostly 12 bar, and am looking to learn more blues patterns to play.

I know quite a few, but right now my 3 favorite are:

G|--------------------------
D|----------0--3--0-------- Just straight 8th's or quarter notes
A|---0--3------------3--0--
E|-1------------------------

G|----------------------------
D|----------1------------1--- 1 &3&4 1 &3&4
A|------2-3--3------2-3--3--
E|-1-------------1------------

G|-----------------------
D|--------------0--3---- Funky chicken riff
A|----0--1--3-----------
E|-1---------------------


Anyways, that being said, I just thought I'd see if my fellow TBers had any other cool lines I could steal...
