Creating a bass line doesn’t always start with a finished idea. Sometimes you just need a key, a few notes, and a concept to explore.

In this lesson, I’ll take you inside my thought process as I build a bass line in F major from the ground up. You’ll see how I use the notes within the key, open strings, experimentation, repetition, and melody to gradually turn a simple idea into something more developed.

You’ll also see how theory can help explain the choices you make without having to plan every note before you play it.

The goal is to get comfortable experimenting with intention and allowing your bass lines to evolve as you play.
