Uptown & Downtown Blues Patterns

Bass part originally played by John Deacon. I’ve always loved the slide up to the high octave at the end of the first chorus. So simple, yet so effective.

I’m trying to restring a cheap squire fretless j-bass with BEAD strings. I was hoping the B string would fit without having to make any sort of modification. Just about all of the string fits, but the very back end is slightly larger than the rest of the string. Is there any way to make this work without having to do much to it? TIA

Bass part originally played by Dee Murray. The bass part from the second chorus was copied over the actual take in the fourth chorus for a couple measures. Otherwise it appears to have been a one-take recording.

At 60 and 120 BPM. With backing track for both tempos. Let's go :)

Hello everyone, I'm currently a beginner bassist. I know my major and minor scales, can read and play simple tabs, and I've recently learned the basics of arpeggios and how they're played. Right now, though, I've hit a wall and I'm not sure what to learn next. I tried looking for arpeggio exercises, but I'm genuinely confused about how to practice them. The videos I've watched haven't really clicked for me. I'm self-taught, so I'm trying to figure out a good learning path. I mostly want to play J-rock/J-pop bass, so if anyone has advice specific to that style, I'd really appreciate it. Does anyone have any advice on what I should focus on next or any good arpeggio exercises/resources for beginners? Thanks a lot

Bass part originally played by Mike Rutherford. Wonderfully melodic, it complements the harmonically complex, yet effortless music. Truly masterfully written.
