Taught by Kelsey Mines

Please have your instrument ready

Bass lines ground the listener. Whether you play the bass or not, learn how to build your own.
We will:

• Analyze a transcription of Ray Brown's bass line on Night Train and define the "rules" he follows to make a well constructed, clear bass line (i.e. the root on the downbeat, chord tones on beat 3, etc.)

• Discover when and how he breaks the "rules"

• Write our own bass lines! (if you send it to me, I will mark it up with edits)
