I NEED TO KNOW THE BASICS OF BASS GUITAR.....I PLAY SOME SONGS BY EAR....BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM DOING...
I WANT TO KNOW THE NOTES, THE KEYS AND HOW TO PLAY THE BASIC "OLE SKOOL" GOSPEL MUSIC, RIFFS AND RUNS....
I AM TRYING TO LEARN THINGS LIKE CANTON SPIRITUALS, MIGHTY CLOUDS, WILLIAMS BROTHERS AND SO ON...
HELP ME...
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE

I am with you too,I need help on the same stuff,my church play the same stuff,we can both find some help

I don't listen to alot of ole skool Gospel, but I would guess learning Blues Scales and Progressions would fit with alot of Ole Skool.
The only song I know goes: LIKE A SHIP that's tossed, and driven... "The Lord will make a way somehow".
Its a basic 1 - 3 - 5 (12 Bar Blues type song)

What are some stuff that you usually play at church?How do you play it.

Can't remember how the song progresses right now... but basically, here is the pattern
|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------
|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------
|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------
|----3--|--------|--------|---5---|--------|--------|--------|--------
|--------|----1--|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------
So if it is in the Key of C# You start with the C#major listed above.
Pay the 1 - 3 - 5 Then when the song progresses, to another note, play the same Pattern except in that note.
It will be had to explain, without a audio track. Because what tab, and this fretboard diagram doesn't take into account is rhythm. I will try and get a audio
posted. for you.
