Here’s an incredibly common scenario:
You get handed a chord chart or a lyric sheet to a song you’ve never played or even heard before.
Without any time to prepare or listen to the song, you’re expected to play something that not only sounds good by itself, but also works with what the rest of the musicians you’re playing with.
And these charts and lyric sheets provide almost nothing in terms of direction. It’s just words with chords above them...
What are you supposed to do?
In this 6th lesson of Bass Lines From Scratch, that’s exactly what we’ll be talking about. Chord charts and lyric sheets are fine if you know how the song is supposed to sound, but you can still use them to create basslines on the fly.
That’s exactly what you’ll learn how to do in today’s lesson. In fact, I’m going to make a bassline for a song that I’ve never played before, using nothing but the first lyric sheet that comes up in Google.
Obviously, in an ideal world, you would have heard the songs you’re supposed to be playing BEFORE you have to play them. But even if you haven’t, you can absolutely still make some great music.
Just remember to start simply - and possibly even stay playing simple ideas. You don’t need to have a complex bass line for it to be effective. Usually, it’s the simpler lines that end up having the most impact.
Make sure you check out the Bass Lines From Scratch Checklist where you’ll learn how to ensure your basslines are always the best they can be. Just ask a few simple questions about any bassline you’ve created and if it stacks up, you know it’s a keeper!
