1. More Notes on the A-string

This lesson will introduce you to two new notes on the A-string – the A#/Bb at the first fret, and the C#/Db at the fourth. It also includes a bassline that uses these notes.

2. Exercise #63

This exercise has more of a Motown/Soul feel and makes use of the Bb note. As well the new note, there are some offbeat rhythms to contend with here.

3. Exercise #64

This is another rock bassline, this time making extensive use of the C#. You should find that this line falls very comfortably under the fingers.

4. Exercise #65

This is a rock bassline, also based around the C#. Try using your fourth finger to ‘barre’ the notes at the fourth fret. This will keep you in position for the other notes.

5. Exercise #66

This exercise is slightly funkier and makes use of both new notes. Offbeat rhythms are once again used here and add to the funk feel.
