As bass players, we spend so much time refining the art of the groove. As we should. This is our job and we need to do it with confidence, strength, and finesse. But it shouldn’t be the end of the story for bass players. I’m a firm believer that bass players should be playing melodies just as much. Whatever style of music you’re playing, you should be playing melodies and I’ve got 5 reasons WHY!
I’d love to know your thoughts on playing melodies on the bass down in the comments - do you think bassists should play melodies? Do you play melodies on your gigs? Do melodies help you learn tunes? Let me know down in the comments!
