Скачать или смотреть Martin Gilmore - Guitar Lesson - Basic Bluegrass Bass Lines

Want to add energy and variety to your bluegrass rhythm guitar playing? In this lesson, I’ll show you some basic bass runs in the key of G—perfect for moving between G, C, and D chords, or just keeping a groove under your singing.

Bass runs are a great tool for rhythm guitarists. They help guide the band through chord changes, add momentum, and fill space without stepping on the singer or soloist. We’ll look at simple runs you can practice, mix up, and adapt so your playing stays supportive but never distracting.

These examples focus on:

Sustaining a G chord
Moving from G to C
Moving from G to D
Moving from C to D

Once you get these under your fingers, you’ll be ready to create countless variations and expand your vocabulary.
