About this course
Thousands of young musicians pilgrimage to the Big Apple to make a name for themselves on the bandstand or in the studio with established players. As you can imagine, NYC is highly competitive, good gigs are scarce and top players usually go with other top players — its not easy.
Most wind up on a bus back home, but that’s not the case with monster bass player Teymur Phell who is a rising star on the scene recording and performing with top tier players. We’re thrilled to welcome Teymur to the family with his first TrueFire course, 30 Groove Master Bass Lines You MUST Know.
Fortunately for we bass players, Teymur’s teaching chops rival his playing chops. Across this collection of 30 bass lines, Teymur guides you through a wide range of bass grooves, in a variety of styles, over a wide variety of harmonic situations.
Two very important skills that every pro bass player must have command of — being able to play in any style of music, and being able to play over any set of changes. The bass lines, techniques and approaches that you’ll learn in this course will help you develop the skills you need to create your own grooves, in any musical situation.
Teymur organized the 30 bass lines into 5 groups. Each group focuses on a different set of changes, which you’ll learn to play in a distinctive variety of styles: Funk, Shuffle, Reggae, Jazz Half Time, Walking Bass, Bossa Nova, Salsa, Samba, Slap Funk, 16th Funk, R&B, Rock & Roll, R&B Thumb Mute, Mambo, Cha Cha, Bomba, Songo and Slap Salsa.
For example you’ll start out with a 12-bar blues in F and work on 5 different grooves; an 8th-note oriented funk bass line, a shuffle, a reggae, a half-time jazz feel and then a walking bass groove — all over the same changes.
You’ll play you way through the entire course, putting everything you learn immediately to work over rhythm tracks.
Teymur demonstrates the bass lines over rhythm tracks and then breaks them down by stepping you through the key concepts, techniques and creative approaches he used in the performance.
All of the bass lines are tabbed and notated for your practice, reference and study purposes. You’ll also get Guitar Pro files so that you can play, loop and/or slow down the tab and notation as you work through the lessons. Plus, Teymur generously includes all of the rhythm tracks for you to work with on your own.

30 Groove Master Bass Lines
Hi, I'm Teymur Phell and welcome to my new TrueFire course, 30 Groove Master Bass Lines You Must Know.
I strongly believe that if you follow my instructions and put in some solid practice time, this course will take you to the next level in terms of groove, harmonic awareness, and playing bass lines in various styles.
From funk and R&B to jazz and Cuban grooves, we'll learn to apply several different harmonic progressions that I've selected or you, as well as some technical and stylistic ideas.
I hope you'll enjoy the music we'll cover, and that this course will make you a better musician once you've grasped all of the ideas and approaches. So grab your bass, and let's get to work!
12 Bar Blues in F Changes
In this video, we'll break down the chord progression to a 12 bar blues in the key of F and learn to play the chords on the bass note by note. This step is very important, as we'll base all of our bass lines in this section on these chord changes.
12 Bar Blues: Funk 1
This first funk groove is a great example of a solid mid-tempo feel, where the bass line and the drum part stick tightly together to create a very satisfying and fat groove to support the rest of the band. It's very important to use a metronome on a slower tempo when practicing.
12 Bar Blues: Funk 2
This is another variation of a funk groove, now with a more eighth note oriented feel which makes it a little lighter. However, the bass and drums still stick together to create a tight sound.
Make sure to listen to the drum part careful when you practice this groove and be aware of how you sound with the track; in other words, always be listening!
12 Bar Blues: Shuffle
This shuffle has a great, straight forward groove somewhere between a walking bass and a funk feel. It's written in straight eighth notes, but played with a triplet feel.
This kind of groove works great over the blues, allowing you to go through the changes in a relatively simple but solid way—we don’t add fills; just driving the band with a nice, firm, confident groove.
12 Bar Blues: Reggae
When playing reggae, it’s very important have a laid back kind of feel, never pushing the tempo, always staying in that zone. When playing any of the triplet quarter notes, make sure they’re equal in time. You can also play this groove with a muted thumb technique that we'll discuss later on in the course.
12 Bar Blues: Jazz Half Time
In this video, we'll start talking about jazz playing, specifically with a half time feel. It's crucial to play out each note to the fullest—if the note is written as a half note, play it fully before moving on. Make sure not to cut it short just because you have to move on the next note!
