Over the last few months, we’ve been talking about all the things that make a great bassline, different ways of creating basslines, formulas that you can apply directly to bass lines… The list goes on.
Now though, I want to show you how it can all come together to create an entire bassline from scratch.
I’ll walk you through the exact process you can use whenever you’re creating a bassline for yourself. Plus, you’ll see all the questions I’m asking of myself to make sure the bassline I’m making is actually serving the song.
I’m really excited about sharing this one with you. I’m sure you’re going to love it.
Like I say in the video, this kind of situation is kind of artificial. In this case, the bass part was already there and I’ve come into a finished track and started from nothing.
In the real world, the band that recorded this song probably had rehearsals at some point and got production notes from the artist or the producer, which would have influenced what they did.
In this case, we didn’t have any of that, but we did have the benefit of a complete song to work from. That being said, this situation isn’t unheard of. I’ve been called into studios at the last minute to play bass on tracks and albums that are just about finished.
The difference here is that there is nobody providing any guidance or suggestions from a control room. In some ways, it’s more fun like that! You can do whatever you like!
When you’re in the thick of making your own basslines, it can be tricky to know if what you’re making is actually any good. That’s exactly why I created the Basslines From Scratch Checklist.
In the checklist, you’ll get the ‘playbook’ for how I approached creating the bassline in this video, and if you go through the checklist with your own basslines, you’ll always know if your bassline is good or if it needs some work.
If it DOES need some work, the checklist will be able to tell you exactly what to do to make your basslines as good as they can possibly be.
It also comes with all the tabs, notation and practice tracks from all the Basslines From Scratch Lessons.
To get it, just go to this page:

Fill out the form, and I’ll send it straight to you - 100% free. Plus it comes with all the tabs, notation and practice track from all the lesson in this Basslines From Scratch series.
Of course, if you have any questions about anything bass-related, let me know in the comments. I’m always happy to help out however I can.
Thanks so much for sticking with me throughout this series! It’s been a ton of fun for me, and I hope you’ve learned something along the way as well.
Good luck with the lesson and happy bassline making!
Cheers,
Luke

You're more than welcome Slaytounge! Thanks for watching.
Fabulous!! This is light years ahead of my skill level and I o appreciate you producing this!!!! Thank you!!
Its awesome. I bought my bass 2 weeks ago and tomorrow I have my first lesson. I am 29 years old and hope its not to late for learning an instrument... Sadly my parents never had the chance to pay me a instrument and lessons. As a child it was always a wish of the bottom of my heart to learn an instrument. Today I want to fill this wish and really hope I can get the hearing like you. I mean you hear that song and know what you can play with your bass. I hope really it is not to late as an adult

Very cool to see theory in practice!

@@BecomeABassist It might seem silly but watching you hum the root note was 'a big deal' in my learning process. That was the glue that bound everything together so now I can think ' (hmmm) C# eh? Maybe a Lydian groove'.
Great lesson!

Awesome Edmond! Thanks so much!
Such a great help man ❤
Started watching this as a beginning-again cello player (played 48 years ago in junior high). I have some trad/historic Celtic recordings which is fiddle, mandolin, and concertina mainly, but just needs (in my ear and humble opinion 😎) a nice rounded bottom of my cello. :) Checking this out to see if I'm on the right "track" for creating those lines. I don't have a strong theory background at all so It's good to watch someone go through the process. I don't have any fancy software such as you have, but I'm getting there. Hoping I'll get faster with practice. Thanks!
Great lesson bro, keep it up!!

All you lessons were very helpful i went from beginner to almost pro thanks for your videos and lessons
this is raddd
One of your coolest videos! As always it gave me a lot of food for thought. I still struggle with hearing keys and notes. 😖 So I give up pretty quickly when trying to do this.

@@BecomeABassist To be honest most of my bass career if you can call it that; has been playing in churches and worship teams for about 13 years. I would say 95% of the time they provide chord sheets and I had my own flavor to it. However I've relied on chord sheets to be a huge crunch to not really train my ear. So really I have only attempted to learn songs at home by ear. I don't know if it's laziness or a lack of willpower but I always give up quickly.

Ah I see what you mean Chad. When you actually sit down to try and learn something without a chord sheet, what's your process? Do you just sit down with a recording and try to pick out notes? Or are you looking for keys? Something else? And at what point do you find yourself giving up?

@@BecomeABassist I try to find the key. That's usually the most difficult issue. If I think I have found the key; which is rare it comes down to theory I guess. So if I can't find those elements within 10-15 minutes I give up. I don't know a lot of scales so when I'm playing at church or other events that have basic chord sheets I play by ear. I play what I feel and what fits the song. I've been told I'm a great bass player. largely I believe because I have creative freedom to play my own lines as long as they fit up with the key or chords. My greatest talent/skill is being able to play in a band situation if that makes sense.
Hi Luke...great video, thanks. Any idea if it's possible to get hold of these kind of tracks where I could drop out the bass to then practice the creative process? Cheers
a ton of fun indeed...
Hey Mr. Luke, have your recorded lessons 2 and 5? Can't seem to find. Learned so much from you, enjoy your teaching style.

This is a very helpful seminar-in-a-box; to quote Ted Nugent (he of the million dollar arm and 10 cent head), it was "Just What the Doctor Ordered"
You should do a video on Roger Glover of Deep Purple
Looking down the comments Kallas is starting at 29 years old. He is hoping he is not too late to start. I started at 60 and am now 65 years old! OMG!
