Let’s Learn the G to D to G Bass Run

The second bass run we will learn is the G to D to G bass run.

Bass Run from G to D

As we did in the previous lesson, play the first measure and the first part of the second measure, as you normally would, with the G Chord tab pressed. Now let’s substitute the last two beats of the second measure with one pick of the 5^th string played with the G tab pressed and a second pick of the of the 5^th string with the C (green) tab pressed. Then, without missing a beat, transition to the D chord to begin the third measure. Congratulations, you just made a base run from G to D. Now, let’s transition from D back to G.

Play the third measure and the first part of the fourth measure, as you normally would, with the D Chord tab pressed. Now let’s substitute the last three beats of the fourth measure with one pick of the 5th string with the C chord tab pressed, a second pick of the of the 5^th string with the G tab pressed, and a third pick of the of the 5^th string played open. Then, without missing a beat, transition back to the G chord to begin the fifth measure.

That one was a little different, but keep working on it – you’ll get it before you know it. Now, keep practicing until you can run through all six measures without hesitation . Once you get it down, you can add this run to any song that has a chord change from G to D and/or from D to G.
