In it we’re gonna take a quick “no-nonsense” look at 5 very popular “song riffs” you can probably learn to play in just a few minutes each, but don’t let that fool you…

…Each of these beginner bass songs still sounds good enough to be recognized as “legit bass playing” and moreover, they are all darn good fun to play whether you’re young or old.

Israel Houghton Bass Tabs For “All Around”

Recently I’ve been getting a lot of requests from my brothers and sisters for some Israel Houghton Bass Tabs to be posted to the blog…

Well today you’re in luck…



I just prepared a quick little video (and the bass tabs to go along with it) that teaches you, note by note how to play the super slick bass intro our boy Terence Palmer was playing on the hit song “All Around”…

This is one of the more requested Israel Houghton Bass Tabs we’ve been getting asked for recently so I decided to start here but you can look out for a lot more to hit the blog…

Basically the intro for this song is played over a basic I-IV-V progression in the key of E-flat… (If that is “Greek” to you, you might wanna take a quick look over here…)

The bass part that T.P. is playing is based around notes mainly from the major chord arpeggios and while at first the line might sound a bit “complex” once we break it down you’ll see that for the most part you really only need to get like 5 different “phrases” under your fingers and you’re good to go.

Anyways…

Watch the video, enjoy the tab, and post a comment below and let me know what other Israel Houghton Bass Tabs you’re looking for.
