Bass Lessons - Speed / Blues Exercise bass tab

This exercise will help you build your

speed, and it is also a generic blues

bass line. It sounds very similar to

the "Woo Hoo" song on the Vonage

commercial, by the 5-6-7-8's.

A great thing about this exercise is that

you can move it anywhere on the fretboard,

and it will give you practice with bigger

and smaller frets.

One more thing: If you are playing this as

a blues bass line, or if you're just done

practicing it, there is an alternative,

very bluesy ending:

E-6---------------6---------------------

Enjoy, and good luck!
