Gidday,
I`m having a play on a friends Uke Bass this weekend.
I`ve never played bass before,any ideas for simple bass riffs
of well known songs i could tackle.
Your help much appreciated.

Re: Bass riffs
Learn scales. Learn where the I and the V are for whatever key you're playing in. If you can do that, you can play bass.

Re: Bass riffs
If you play by ear, it's a matter of fair and foul. The arppegios of the chord you're in are usually all fair notes.
Play along with recordings and note what tones the bass player on the record selects.
Bass is sooo fun. You get to play a solo along with the main melody.
We pronounce it "Guf Coast".

Thanks for advice guys but only having a dabble
I looked up CCR ` down on the corner`as i seem to remember quite a strong bass riff in it.
Thats the kind of thing i wanted to know.
Knowing zero about bass, thought i might dip my toe in the water see if was for me.

Re: Bass riffs
I am a beginner upright bass player, and I'd like to get bass clef sheet music. Is it available from chordae? Is there a bass fiddle tab?
Thanks!!
