So, you know the chords. Great!
Now what?

This week’s Essence of Groove video is all about taking what’s already there — the chords — and turning it into something musical, building bass lines that work.

I’ll show you how to start simple, with just the roots, then add fifths, octaves, passing tones, and more — with each step adding flow and feel without overplaying.

It’s not about adding flash; it’s about creating groove and meaning from what you already know.

Watch the video, then leave a comment below with your takeaways.

Let’s play bass!
