Help with learning Gospel Quartet Bass lines

[MCCulloum3]

Hi my name Mike, I just started learning the Bass Guitar, I've been trying to find bass covers on Gospel Quartet so I can start playing at my church. Can some one help me?

I think Google will call up fake chord sheet music on just about anything you would like if you use these search words, chords, name of the song.

Now all you need is how to play bass from fake chord sheet music. Step one. Sing or recite the lyrics to move with the song. Follow the chords and pound out a root note bass line, changing roots as the song moves through the chord progression. Normally the beat follows the lyric, I.e. One beat per lyric word syllable. Hap-py birth-day to you. Yes the to you gets one beat per word.

That will give you enough to where you can ask the director at your church for help.

Next is that rhythm thing. Follow the drummer's kick drum beat and hang on. Normally the beat follows the lyrics, i.e. one beat per lyric word syllable. Roots first you can get into the other stuff after you can pound out a root bass line.

Good luck.
