Without You - Ace Spectrum - Bass Cover and Bass Lesson with Tabs - American Fiction Soundtrack

#basslessons #americanfiction #funk
Hey Now! I am teaching you how to play this super funky song, Without You by Ace Spectrum. I first heard this song on the soundtrack to the Film American Fiction. I was compelled to look it up and learn it because it is so funky. I figured I would share it with you in case you were interested in it as well. If I enjoyed it, I am sure someone else would too right?

One thing about this song is that the tuning is just a few degrees or HZ off of standard, Not quite Eb but not quite E. I explain that in detail in the video.

Also: I included tabs for the main riff but not the B section because it is not quite as straightforward. But I explain it pretty thoroughly. At least I think I did.

If you need help with the language I am using, I have a lesson about notes on the neck:    • How to Find the Notes on the Bass Gui...

YouTube is an amazing resource for music lessons. One of the best! Also courses are incredibly helpful as well. There is no substitute for one on one lessons though. Either online or in person. I teach lessons online and would be happy to help you or would encourage you to reach out to someone in your community. Invest in yourself so you can really elevate your playing and better understand all of the amazing free content there is on YouTube.
