【041】Transform Your Bass: 'Runaway Baby' with Slap & Drive

In this video, we present the bass riff from Bruno Mars' "Runaway Baby."

This riff is quite impressive, and we've used a drive effect to enhance it.

Background on the Effect:
When I joined a band as a substitute to perform this song, there was no guitarist. Since this song starts with a guitar intro, I used a drive effect on the bass to kick things off.

Structure:

Playing in a higher register to mimic the guitar sound.
Playing the same riff one octave lower.
Playing the higher register riff with a slap technique.
Playing the lower octave riff with a slap technique.
The video follows this structure. Tablature is included in the second half of the video, so be sure to use it as a reference.
