You're Going to Need Somebody on Your Bond


Melody & Bass

In this first lesson, we will discuss the alternating bass and how to build the song from the ground up by first mastering the bass and then singing or humming the melody while playing the bass line to build familiarity. Once you get the bass line then you can focus on what the slide needs to be doing. Thanks!
