Learn three simple shapes you can use in your bass lines. You will also, no doubt, recognise these from many famous bass lines.

Dan Hawkins Bass Lessons
I had a strange week where I just couldn't get any inspiration to play or come up with a YouTube lesson. Then I picked up this acoustic bass guitar and started to play.
This lesson teaches what sparked my creativity again and got me out of my mini-rut.
