👉 My full beginner bass course: https://yeah.bassbuzz.com/fills Creating bass fills doesn’t have to be that hard - here’s a simple 3 step process you can use without mega chops or theory skills. Extended Jam Tracks: Major - https://soundcloud.com/bass_buzz/beginner-bass-fills-major-playalong Minor - https://soundcloud.com/bass_buzz/beginner-bass-fills-minor-playalong Step 1 is to pick a rhythm. Because even if the notes in your fill are garbage, if you really sell the rhythm, it’ll still kinda work. I’ll explain where fills usually go in a song, how long they can last, and how to come up with a rhythm to fill the space. Also Phil Collins will appear randomly. Be warned. Step 2 is to pick a shape. Bass shapes are the simplest way to pick notes for a fill or bass line, so we’ll walk through 3 different shapes you can use on different types of chords. I explain bass shapes fully in this video if you want to dig in more: https://youtu.be/lAMRqLNo6yk Step 3 is to stick the rhythm and the shape together. I’ll show you how to do that, and we’ll try a bunch of different fills together, so by the end of the video you’re ready to create your own bass fills, no problem. Pretty awesome, right?
