Today we're going to learn how to play pumped up kicks.
Pumped up kicks on the bass guitar.
We're going to start by doing the intro, which is going to be played by just hitting the
F note a few times.
[F] It's like this.
Two, three, four.
[N]
So if you're counting it out, it's one and two and three and four and one and two and
three and four.
So it's hit on the first measure on the one beat, then on the three beat, and then on
the next measure on the one beat and the and three.
So it's one and two [F] and three and four and one and two and [N] three and four and.
And that's the intro.
That's it.
One, [F] two, three, four and.
Then into the song.
[G] [Ab]
Just like [Em] that.
Okay.
So
[Ab] next we're going to go into the basic lick of the song.
Now what we're going to try to do is play something that we can play consistently throughout the tune.
And if you decide to vary it as the record does, because the record varies this lick.
The guys just chose to kind of put subtle [G] changes on it all the way through the song.
So you can listen to those after learning this basic lick and try to [Ab] add some things.
But this is a basic lick that will work throughout the tune.
[F] And it's going to go like this.
[Ab]
[C] [Eb]
[F] [Bb] [C] [Bb] [F]
That's the [Ab] first lick.
Now how that's played is we're going to play F [F] three times.
Then we're going to go to [Ab] G at the third fret [G] on the low E [Bb] string.
Just one time.
And then A flat [Ab] twice.
B flat [G]
[Ab] at the first fret on the A [Bb] string.
C at the [C] third fret on the A string.
[N] And then E flat three times.
And E flat is on the D string at the first fret.
[Eb]
[C]
And then an F.
[F]
And [Bb] we're going to lead into [N] a B flat with an A like this.
[A] [Bb]
And then we're going to strike B flat again.
[N] Then we're going to break it down with C, B flat, A [Ab] flat, [G] and then back to [F] F for the next line.
So that was one [G] [Ab]
[Bb] [C]
[Eb]
[F] [A] [Bb]
[C] [Bb] [Ab] [F]
more time.
[G] [Ab]
[Bb] [C] [Eb]
[F] [A] [Bb]
[C] [Bb] [Fm]
Alright, [C] that's line number one.
Now, bass line number two is going to [F] be like this.
[G] [Ab] [Bb] [Cm]
[Eb] [F] [Eb]
[Bb] [C] [Bb] [F]
Alright, so we've got three F's.
[G] G, [Ab] A flat twice, B [Bb] flat, C, [C]
E [A] flat, only [Abm] twice this [Eb] time.
[N] Then we're going to break it down going from F, [F]
E [Eb] flat, C, [C]
B flat [Bb] twice, [C] C, B flat, [Bb]
[Ab] A flat.
[F]
And that [B] breakdown again was [F] F like [Eb] [C] [Bb]
[Ab]
[F] that.
So it's F, [Eb] E flat, [C] C, B flat [Bb] twice,
[Am] C, [C] B [Bb] flat, [Ab] A flat, [F] down to F.
We'll start the tune again.
The whole thing,
