Soul bass lines are some of the most fun you can have with a plank of wood strapped over your shoulder.
And it's always a good idea to have a few ‘go-to’ bass lines whenever someone says, “Play something for me!” or if you’re playing with others and they ask, “So what do you want to play?”
You might have a quiver full of funk bass lines, or rock ones - maybe even a few slap licks (for when someone wants the Seinfeld theme…)
But if you want to play something that has a soul kind of vibe, but maybe don’t know what you could launch into, I have something that I think you’ll love. Because today, it’s all about the vintage soul bass lines.
I don’t know about you, but I freaking love the old-school Stax and Atlantic records. There’s something super magical about them that always seems to put a smile on my face.
So in this brand new video, I wanted to share some of my all-time favorite soul bass lines with you (that also happen to be beginner-friendly)
You’ll learn:
► Bass lines from titans of the bass world including Duck Dunn, Tommy Cogbill, Bernard Odum (we think) and even more Duck Dunn
► How you can simplify each of the bass lines to make them even more beginner-friendly - without destroying the ‘soul’ of the song (pun absolutely intended)
► My pick for one of the most underrated soul bass lines - and of course it comes from Duck Dunn
Of course, the absolute best way to get these soul bass lines into your mind and under your fingers is to practice them, right?
I’ve included the tabs and notation on screen, but if you want the tabs, notation AND the practice tracks from this video (including the slowed down practice tracks), you can get them as a FREE download on the site.
Just head to this page:

Fill out the form, and I’ll send you everything you need to get started mastering these soul lines
Good luck with the lesson and happy playing!
Cheers,
Luke

Great lesson. I learned so much!
I love this guy's teaching and playing. It really is awesome helping learn to better Bass players
Love this lesson. You picked some great songs.
Another fantastic themed lesson Luke. I enjoyed this one. And I like the Stax t-shirt. Nice touch. Duck Dunn is a favorite of mine. Nice selection of songs and a bit on the more challenging side, which is good. Thanks!
Much appreciated! You are a fantastic teacher Sir!
Thanks Luke. Enjoyed this lesson as always. Some great songs to play along to.

Thanks a lot, Luke. Some wonderful old soul lines to play around with. Loving your series of videos as a retired person getting back into music. Just bought a Harley Benton VT series bass and learning keyboards, too!

I can't help but smile when I play these lines - they're heaps of fun.
I really enjoy this 😂
Your explanation are spot on my friend….lovin these sessions
When I play Nina Simone’s ‘Baltimore’… I end up on a 40 minute, bass playing odyssey. Black Sabbath’s ‘Planet Caravan’, is fun too. Once I learned to play a couple patterns , it’s kinda like I leveled up.
COOL I WILL LEARN THIS

I believe Respect is an Otis Redding song that Aretha covered. Right?
Was Duck Dunn playing this in the Blues Bros Movie?

I'm afraid I'm not 100% sure @Max Cruz - I bought it from a friend 2nd hand and don't really know the details. There's just a thing written on the back of the headstock saying that it was made in the Czech Republic.
