L05 Bass Practice Minor Blues Bass Play Along Level 3 (16th Note Runs Arpeggios Hammer-Ons)

This bass practice lesson (L05) is built around a full Minor Blues play-along designed for intermediate / advancing players.

Welcome to L05 — the next lesson in the PracticeBassHere series of bass guitar play-along tutorials.
Each video in this series is built around three structured play-along segments designed to help you practice bass the right way before we dig into technique, theory, and “things to know.”

In this Level 3 lesson, we focus on minor blues bass practice, pushing your technique with controlled 16th-note runs, clean arpeggio shapes, and musical hammer-on patterns. This is a perfect session for intermediate / advancing players looking to build accuracy, timing, and musicality — and beginners who are ready for a challenge can simply… slow it down. (Yes. Always slow it down.)
