Summary: If you are familiar with the bass guitar in the schema of a modern pop music, you know that its task is to help secure the underpinnings of any song. If the bassist represents the lower registers of sound like a deep and abiding force of nature, then even as a bass player, he receives the notice and acclaim he deserves, despite the fact that he’s not holding a certain six-stringed instrument with a whammy bar and wailing soul in his hands. Just ask Les Claypool what I mean.

In these free bass guitar lessons on video, you can learn some of the fundamental skills you will need to become a bass guru within the course of your lifetime. Our expert will show you how to play some beginner bass lines on a four-string guitar, as well as the songs “Greensleeves” and “When the Saints Go Marchin’ In.” Although you may not come off as a bass guitar hero after playing through these lessons, there is an old adage about setting off upon a journey that comes to mind…
