Guitar B Minor: Open G With Alternate Bass line

Video Transcript

"In this example, what I'm going to do is, I'm going to use a B-minor chord with open G. And, what I''m going to this time is kind of pick through the chord and do an alternating bass line. And what, I'll explain the rest of it. Right now I'll play it with the drums and it'll sound like this. Okay, what I did there was just kind of pick through it and then went to A, took my first finger off to A, and then moved it to G or the third fret on the low E string went back to A and ended on my root note of B. And what's cool about that is with alternate bass lines, you can do all kinds of different options, you're basically just picking notes out of the scale, in this case, the B-minor scale. And I like to sometimes use like open strings playing with the chords to give it a nice spacier sound. So, you know, when you're playing, using, utilizing open strings within a chord in an alternate bass line can make for a very nice sounding progression."
