How to Play Bass Runs on Guitar

Bass runs are an easy, effective way for guitar players to connect two chords with a short bass line. Whether you’re strumming or playing fingerstyle, as long as your comping pattern includes individual bass notes, you can add bass runs to make any chord progression sound better. In this lesson, I’ll show you four bass runs you can start play right away, and I’ll play through the chorus of This Land Is Your Land so you can see how bass runs are used in a song. Examples and exercises include both TAB and standard music notation.
