How to Play Born Under a Bad Sign - Albert King - Bass Cover and Bass Lesson

#basslesson #basslessons #blues

Hey Now! I am teaching you how to play Born Under a Bad Sign, A classic Blues tune by Albert King. It's a Riff based song which is very fun to play. And it's simple if I did my job correctly.

I will walk you through all of the parts in Frets as well as notes. Knowing the notes is incredibly helpful beacuse then you can change the key but ALSO you can communicate with your fellow musicians and speak the language of Music.

If you need help with the language I am using, I have a lesson about notes on the neck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8c3P_d_FrU&t=163s

YouTube is an amazing resource for music lessons. One of the best! also courses are incredibly helpful as well. There is no substitute for one on one lessons though. Either online or in person. I teach lessons online and would be happy to help you or would encourage you to reach out to someone in your community. Invest in yourself so you can really elevate your playing and better understand all of the amazing free content there is on YouTube.
