Why Bass Players Love The Key Of E
This lesson is here to get you working through the key of E. We’ll dig into two-octave E Major and E minor scales so that you can feel confident working through the most comfortable key on the bass.
There’s definitely a reason why so many funky tunes are written in and for the key of E, so hopefully, this lesson provides some insight into why that is.
Fun fact: it’s probably because we have an awesome-sounding open E string.
Enjoy working through this, and keep it groovy!

Ryan’s videos are the best! Her videos are always informative and straight forward without making it seem like the info is going over my head. I really look forward to them.
