Tiny Bass Lines
A small, curated library of bass lines anyone can learn. Each one comes with playable notation and tab, drums to play along with, a printable line sheet, and the story of where it came from.
Lines one at a time
About
I'm a beginner on bass. I'm not a beginner on these records. I got tired of digging through tab sites and videos for the lines I actually wanted to play, and finding half of them wrong, so I started my own short list. Every line here is one I play myself, on a Fender Fullerton uke bass, filmed on the coping of my mini ramp.
Verified by playing
Every line is checked by ear against the record and played on camera.
Curated, not comprehensive
A few lines, each chosen, explained and traced to its source.
Sorted by the hands
What matters to a beginner is how far your fretting hand travels, not how many notes there are.
The long version of each story runs as an essay on michaelmorrison.com.
