Free Online Bass Lessons Bass Licks 2
If you've been looking to learn some new bass licks that
do more than just hold down a steady bass line, these classic
licks will dramatically improve your frethand skills with
much finger movement. Exercise #1 is showing the main riff
to the Blue Oyster Cult song "Godzilla" played by bassist
Joe Bouchard. Exercise #2 demonstrating the bass guitar
solo licks. Exercise #3 is showing tab to the "live version"
of "For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Metallica bassist Jason
Newsted. Exercise #4 demonstrates the opening bass riff to
the song "Long Distance Runaround" which was composed and
played by master bassist Chris Squire of the group "Yes".
And last but not least is the intro bass riff to the song
"Good Times, Bad Times" created and played by Led Zepplin
bassist John Paul Jones. If you're not familiar with the
names of these great bass players or bands, I highly recommend
that you search the archives of Classic Rock and early
Heavy Metal and listen to all the great bass lines that were
created by these famous players.
