Let’s Learn the C to D to G Bass Run

The last bass run we will learn is the C to D to G  bass run.

Bass Run from C to D

As we did in the previous lesson, play the first measure and the first part of the second measure, as you normally would, with the G Chord tab pressed. Now let’s substitute the last two beats of the second measure with one pick of the 5^th string played with the G tab pressed and a second pick of the of the 5^th string with the C (green) tab pressed. Then, without missing a beat, transition to the D chord to begin the third measure. Congratulations, you just made a base run from C to D. Now, let’s transition from D to G.

Play the third measure and the first part of the fourth measure, as you normally would, with the D Chord tab pressed. Now let’s substitute the last three beats of the fourth measure with one pick of the 5th string with the C chord tab pressed, a second pick of the of the 5^th string with the E-minor tab pressed, and a third pick of the of the 5^th string played open. Then, without missing a beat, transition back to the G chord to begin the fifth measure.

That’s all there is to it. Practice this until you can run through all six measures smoothly. Don’t forget to go back and apply these new techniques to the songs you have already learned.
