4 New Riff Exercises

Back again with four new super awesome bass guitar riffs. Start off slow and build your speed and technique up.

The Highlighter

Fall, Again

Weird And Strange

Growing Up

Have fun with those riffs and make sure you put in some of your style. “Weird and Strange” doesn’t really fit into a 4/4 structure, but I think you will be able to figure it out if you keep trying.

2 Advanced Exercises

Today’s two tabs are all about speed and finer agility. Put yourself to the test!

The Switch

It seems pretty easy until you get hit by the weird, but cool, transition from end to restart. The jump from E-6 (A#) to D-7 (E) is unnatural but awesome. Start slow and build up to epic speeds to improve your finger dexterity.

Stranger Danger

A monster of a good riff. The 10/// means a long slide from the 10th fret on the A string all the way to the first fret. Have lots of fun with this one, and consider playing it with some heavy distortion to rock out.

Remember to start slow until you know the riff, and work your way up to shredding speeds. Comments or questions? Leave them below.
