Hi, and welcome to my tutorial on It's All About That Bass on [Dm] bass guitar.
Guitar is tuned standard, E, A, [G] D, G.
_ [E] And we're going to start the song just like this.
[C#] Because [A] you know I'm all about that bass, about that bass, no treble
[D] I'm all about that bass, about that bass, [E] no treble
[G#m] I'm all about that bass, about [E] that bass, no treble
[C#m] I'm all about [A] that bass, about that bass, no treble
Throughout this song, we'll be playing variations of the same bass line.
For the intro of the song, we'll play that bass line like this.
[E] _ _ [A] _ That's the first part of it.
We're going to play an A, or open A.
_ [Bm] B, second fret on the A string.
And hammer on [C#] to the fourth fret on the A string.
And then go to the second [E] fret of the D string.
[C#] Back to the fourth fret on the A string.
[A] And then open the A string up again.
So that was_
[C#] _ _ [A] _ Just like that.
The second part of it will be second fret, [B] A string.
_ [C#] And then we'll move up to the fourth fret, A string.
And hammer on to the fifth fret.
[D] _
And then [F#] we'll wind up on the D string, fourth fret.
_ _ [G#] Back to the A string, [D] fifth fret.
And then back to the second fret.
[B] _ Like this.
_ [D] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [C#]
The last part will take us to the low E string.
[E] _ _ Second fret on the [F#] low E string.
Hammer on to the [G#] fourth fret.
_ And then the [B] A string, second fret.
_ Back to the fourth [G#] fret.
[E] And then open.
And that goes like this.
_ _ _ And then we'll wind [C] up back at the A string doing the same thing we started [A] with.
_ _ _ So here's the whole thing.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ And that's our intro.
[C] Now when we get into the song, it's going to sound a little different.
And it'll sound just like this.
_ _ [C#m] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _
Alright, [A] _ _ _ for that part, we're going to do a variation on what we've already played.
It's going to go something like this.
_ _ [B] _
[A] So we're going to repeat that hammer on and wind up at the second fret.
And add that to what we were already playing.
So it goes like this.
_ _ _ [B] Alright, stop there.
Then we'll move up to the second fret.
_ [D] _ [B] And do the same thing.
[D] And move down to the low E string.
[E] _ _ _ [B] _
[D#] _ And then back to the A string.
[A] But we'll end it with a little add-on.
Like this.
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _ So what that is, is we're hammering from the [B] second fret to the fourth fret.
[C#] And then [E] we'll move to the D string.
Second fret.
Open E.
[G#] E, fourth fret.
[A] And then back to A.
_ _ [C#] _ _ [A] _
And then we'll continue our riff.
Okay?
So that part goes like this. _ _
_ _ _ _ Now for the chorus, we'll add a few more notes.
And it'll sound something like this.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [E] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [A] Now for the chorus, it'll sound something like this.
_ _ _ [E] _ Alright, so what we did is we did our hammer twice.
[A] So we went_
_ _ [E] _ Then to [B] the next part.
_ _ _ [D] _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _
_ And we'll repeat that.
_ _ _ [C#m] _
[D] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ [E] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ Well alright.
That's all you're gonna need to be able to play
