Bassics workshop is a 2-hour introduction to the bass guitar for beginners who want to develop their interest in the ultimate underrated instrument. This workshop aims to give first time players the starting tools to developing their own unique identity on the bass; we will focus on comfort and accessibility, while breaking down a few misconceptions and stereotypes around the place of the bass guitar in music.
We will then cover the absolute fundamentals of bass playing with some practical exercises across listening and playing, which will demonstrate:
- The role of the Bass Guitar
- Ways to approach the instrument
- Technique
- Tone, Genre, Melody & Groove
- Bass in the Mix
By the end of the session, you’ll be able to play a simple bassline along to a beat, and will hopefully have a deeper understanding of the role of the bass in modern music and how you’d like to approach it.
