A Bb blues bass line built from one shape. We find Bb on the neck, lock in the 1-3-5-6 pattern over dominant seven chords, then add the octave, the flat seven, and chromatic approach notes that pull you into the next chord. Made for beginner and intermediate bass players who want a blues line that sounds authentic without overthinking it. The full chromatic breakdown lives in the Groove School blues module.
