The Box Shape
Summary
What is the ‘box shape’??
The box shape will become a super useful tool for you throughout your bass playing life, especially for creating your own bass lines without first knowing a bunch of scales! It’s a simple, five-note pattern on the fretboard that is moveable up and down the neck that many famous bass lines are derived from.
From “What’d I Say” by Ray Charles to Led Zeppelin’s “How Many More Times” to Santana’s “Black Magic Woman,”—these famous, killer riffs all come from the box shape.
