Playing Hammer-Ons on Bass In The Key Of E – Part 1
In this lesson, we’ll break down the technique of hammering-on. A quintessential element of bass technique, this focuses on our fretting hand and adds plenty of groove to any bass line.
While it’s particularly used in funk, gospel, and soul, hammer-ons can easily be integrated across different genres.
We’ll discuss a few slick hammer-ons in the key of E, plus show you how to adapt the groove across different octaves.
Enjoy and keep it groovy!
