As I’m currently working hard on improving my skills with the bass, I decided to share some of the classic basslines I’m fooling around with. So, expect to find some short tabs in no particular order here from now and them - I’m not gonna post full tabs for songs here for copyright reasons but you all know how to use god google don’t you? Most of these licks aren’t particularly clever or hard or anything, but they got groove which is what makes a good bassline. Feel free to add your favourites in the comments!

So, here’s the first one, arguably one of those you never forget once you heard it, the main bass riff of Pink Floyd’s song “Money” from the magnum opus “Dark Side of the Moon“, a milestone album for rock as well as electronic music. The song’s basically a blues in Bminor, 7/4, about 120 BPM.
