In my last beginner blues bass lesson I showed you how to survive a 12 bar blues using two simple shapes. You can check that out here if you missed it - • Beginner Blues Bass "S...
In this video I’ll show you how to take the shapes concept to the next level using The Blues Box to create tons of kickass blues bass lines.
The blues box is just 4 notes that form the shape of a box on your fretboard (hence the name). By changing the rhythm and order of notes, you can pull tons of bass lines that work great for blues and many other styles.
After I teach you how to play the Blues Box, we’ll put it in action with some killer real-life blues tunes, from Susan Tedeschi, Eric Clapton, Otis Redding, Junior Walker, Taj Mahal, and Gary Moore.
Then I’ll take you through a simple 4-step process you can use to come up with your own Blues Box bass lines on a 12 bar blues, plus some tips for applying them in context without making your bandleader furious.

PRO TIP: You can also use The Blues Box to get tough stains out of gig clothes, for sweat... and other fluids. 💦
What’s your favorite way to use The Blues Box around the house?
I dislike the fact that there's no metal box
Menace sleeping animals with blues box and a bass attached to a 20 foot chord!
I use the "Funk" box in the living room, so I can tell people to "get the funk out", the "Rock" box in the bathroom, so I can tell people "Don't bother knocking, I'm busy rocking", the "Jazz" box in the kitchen so I can tell people "How do you like that for fusion food?" and of course I save my "blues" box for the boudoir. So I can tell people "Don't be confused, we're messing the blues."
Muff Evans positively brilliant!!! 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭
@@fivoswave There are metal boxes indeed.Ask Steve Harris.
Haha, this is great! A great balance between comedy and information. I really appriciate what you're doing, Josh!
Thank you!

Josh... This is just the best TH-cam content ever... every one of your vids. I say that not only as a bassist, but also as a human being. It's all absolutely brilliant.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that.
Yeah, the script and post production got some groove as well!
As a failed Bassist, I have to admit it was because I never really tried. I hauled my guitar and gear out of storage, cleaned it all up and then found your channel. I've been watch your vids about a week now every night and play along. I've noticed improvement immediately. You are Awesome! (pointing two fingers at you).
Thanks Brett!
@@BassBuzz I'm still at it, man! I worked-through one of your videos this very night
@@bretthines1020 Hope your still at it man. I picked up bass 2 months ago and am having a blast.
This is so cool! I just made a drumbeat into logic and started to play around with this on my Bass. The way you teach is really easy to follow!
Awesome! 😊
This just blew the top off my future bassist career 😂. As a day 2 bass learner, I was able to play along to some music. These instructions are so clear and simple to follow that even a 63 year old me can understand. It just clicks! Thank you for the awesome content.
You're welcome!
What a lesson ! I am a teacher and I say : congratulations for such a clear synthesis !
Why can't all music teachers teach like you??? You're so straight to the point and everything makes sense! Your Bassbuzz series has had more useful applicable information that isn't lame per video than anything else I've found on the internet. You've seriously made me fall in love with my bass again!
Thanks Andrew! Glad you're loving your bass. :)
Finally someone who can teach practical, comprehensible, and cool stuff! Thanks Josh. (Fausto here all the way down here in São José dos Campos, Brazil)
You're welcome Fausto!
There should be a love button....cause ,I'd click it.
I've been playing bass and the blues for 45 years, but I think BassBuzz is really entertaining and fun to watch, good job!
omfg I just wanna say I love BassBuzz dude. A year ago I picked up the bass and this guy has either directly or indirectly taught me almost everything I know. Also just look at the way he makes these videos, it's insane. There's cool effects, humor, good explanation, tablature. I'm so glad he teaches bass and not like the saxophone or something, cuz otherwise we wouldn't have such an awesome teacher.
Josh, I have played piano for 50 years and graduated music college. I just fell in love with bass 2 years ago. Have become very proficient already and your lessons are such a helpful and breath of fresh air besides playing all my scales, chords, modes, etc. This lesson is very helpful for relaxing and jamming. I like how you show these bass lines in records and that you show the written music as well. Look forward to many more of your lessons...
Thanks Paul!
Yep, you blew my mind. Thanks
“If you need to find out the key, just ask the guitarist” too real man 😂 your videos are great and your sense of humor is amazing. I’ve learned a lot and look forward to more!
Thanks Corey!
Dude you deserve 1 million likes just for the scenes xD
Thanks Elies! 😛
These box shapes are awesome for beginners. But the real fun starts when you finally learn to break out of the boxes and become a real musician. That's the goal.
Nice! "Blues Box" was the name of a radioshow in the 70s in Germany. I am born 1958...and play bass and guitar...also double bass, but, that has retired, have none.
The best way to play for me is: switch off the rationality...dare to play "wrong" notes...as bridges or somehow..just play! Make it "feel good"...You're on the right path.
"hmm, is it called The Basic Box because it contains an alkaline substance?"
I am deceased. :)
🤓
You make these bass lines so much easier to understand and your sheet you provided is priceless! Thanks!
You're welcome David!
Another winner. Soon all the world will realise just how simple the bass is. Damn...
Muah hah hah! 😈
67 year old guy, learning the Bass, as it's been my lifelong dream. Always loved the Blues, have basic Bass knowledge, and your videos are a huge help.
I've been playing along with my 1960 Fender American Vintage Series, and you have not only got me inspired, but hungry for more. Thanks Josh! I am Subscribed to your Channel!
Thanks Peter, glad I can help!
I’ve been a guitarist for almost 30 years, but am just now getting started playing bass. I suspect that your channel is going to help me greatly!
I always like to come back to this video and when he asks "Are you tired...?" I just answer "Yes, I am tired." and I sit back on my chair thinking about my life.
Bass players = contemplative.
I haven't touched my bass in nine years. You have single handedly put a spark back into my life. I haven't ever been this excited about playing the bass. I will be signing up for Beginner to Badass this weekend. Thank you sir! Your passion for music is so genuine and infectious, and your generosity knows no bounds!
That's awesome! Have fun. :)
That Klingon interlude was just brilliant!!!… 😂😜😂…
And tbh, you're the only guy I've found that I can stand listening to. Amazing content and great teacher. Thank you
You are definitely the real deal. You explain theory very simple to comprehend, together with playing the bass guitar. Your sense of humor together with teaching makes you unique. I’ve learned tremendously, with method. Awesome, instructor, indeed. I’d like to meet you someday.
Thank you!
Im learning to play guitar bass and english language, your videos are the best way I found to improve both at the same time. grettings from Colombia!
That's awesome Marcelo!
Been playing bass for 20 years and I still enjoy these videos, mostly because the host is funny and loves Warhol (or velvet underground) so much he’s got the tattoo. 😂
I'm loving your videos!! I'm learning so much!! Thanks for being awesome
I've been playing bass since I was a kid (I'm 37 now) and these are some of the best lessons about blues I've ever seen. Great job! Thank you
You're welcome Giovanni!
Your lessons make me try harder. Not only educational but fun. Thanks!
trainwreck the groove... been there! excellent lesson. i love how the same notes are being played but, in different contexts, changes the feel of the groove bigly!
The best and most useful (and practical) bass tutorials, so many thanks :)
What an excellent tour of the different blues patterns, and I love how you named them! Also, those caveat warnings at the very end were hilarious.
Josh, I'll take all the boxes you have to build my interchangeable Wall of Sound. The video is awesome!
Thanks Stu!
I love the way you break things down so simple
great video...love the choice of music and the play along...im playing along.
This video is the best and most useful bass info on TH-cam. Thanks for breaking it down to make sense.
Totally great ! Excellent easy to follow bass line education. Interesting why the flat 7th sounds good, but it does.
Great stuff Josh.
Thank you.
Wow, what a great video. Thanks very much!
Dude I can't thank you enough for Leaving Trunk! very very cool choice
Hello Josh; I really appreciate your teaching. I’ve really grown the five months I’ve been playing my bass…thanks!!!.
Josh, Duuuuuuude, I just lost 2.5hrs on my bass (not a bad thing) and I figured out that if I use my 5 string I can use both high and low survival shapes together....mind blown, keep on keeping on 😁
I just found this channel like 30 minutes ago and i love it already! Besides the musical knowledge , I like the way you edit the videos - it has a very nice pace. Some channels can be very long-winded and take way too long to get to the point. +Subcribed!
Thanks Dani!
Absolutely love your videos!!....not only is the lesson content most helpful for a beginner like myself, but your humor leaves me in stitches! thank you!!
I love This!!! Thank You!!!!
I loved the commercial bit and thst last one was perfectly placed as the last right before annoyance. Gotta appreciate the hustle. Anyways i actually felt like i was learning this video and understanding the music thank you
Your videos are so well made! They have been funny and very helpful.
This is great. Best on the internet for a "beginner" for sure. I've been "playing" bass for 40 years, mostly by ear. If I had this video back then I would probably be sooooo much better by now lol. In the band I was in we wrote our own lyrics & music because we couldn't play anyone else's!
Thank you! It's totally helpful lesson! A few minutes and everyone can play blues and rock'n'roll
I love your creativity
Brilliant lesson!
Honestly, the intro got me to watch the full video. Well done!
your channel is great, just what I've been looking for: info that will get me playing bass with friends as quick as possible. on the down side it encourages me to continue to jumping around for hours on youtube until I find what I'm looking for. thanks
Awesome, thanks!!!!
This is my favorite video yet! I have to say I am a big fan and have learned much from your videos. The combination of humor, knowledge, and teaching ability is second to none on youtube!! Everything you teach is so practical and you are so down earth playing a squier and not always doing crazy bass fills that don't sound like real music. Thanks again!
Thanks Billy!
Oh wow, this might be the absolute best video for bass beginners online... Thank you so much for uploading this!
Thank you!
This is golden information for beginners and I'm willing to bet quite a few have been playing for years and have never been taught this technique. If a person looks at the fretboard the way I do, it's a huge combination lock. We can open it up to a point but how much better is it when someone hands you a working combination and you learn where your root notes are Now you can play along with other instruments and backing tracks. You can learn song after song but until you can jam in the correct key your not on the way to being a bonafide , complete musician no matter the instrument. Great lesson👍
This is beyond-awesome! It's be-awesome!!!
Dude,.. this is super helpful ! Dig it !
Excellent, practical and fun tips! Thaaanks so much!
You're the best bass teacher on the planet! High praise i know, but it's true.
YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY THANKS
Very informative. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the Blues Box, Josh. So simple and yet so effective. I'll be practicing this, this afternoon,👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good to hear Andrew!
Terrific!
Josh thank you, it’s pure talent
Dude you are so good! I just started teaching my kid neighbour the bass and your lessons are a brilliant lesson plan!
Awesome lesson AND fun to watch! Thank you so much.
You're welcome Dirk!
Amazing video. Congrats.
Love this
Love the Tramp!
Thanks, it makes live easyer.
A very fun and very instructive video. I watched it without getting bored. the basics I will always use. Thank you so much.
You're welcome Samet!
Very clear teaching and precise fretboard layout graphics. My past bass instructor taught me some blues grooves but I didn't understand why those notes were there other than being cool.
Thanks Bryan!
Thank to you, i’ve decided to learn bass, and the way you teach is great, easy to understand, and fun, keep up the great work man, you’re the best
Nice, congrats on starting bass!
These are awesome!!!
Oh man, your content just keeps getting better, great stuff!
Thank you!
Amazing. You made it seem so simple, after playing for years and only using tabs due to finding any theory massively overwhelming, I finally vaguely understand what's going on theory-wise after watching only 2 of your videos 🤘 cheers
Glad to help Dan!
This is the most fundamental video for a begginer bass!!!
Awesome 😎
Yessss thank you for this video, my blues lines are so much cleaner and spicier now!
You're welcome Gianluca!
Thank-you-veryyy-much !
I just wanted to say thank you so much Josh for your videos. I have been a drummer for over 15 years but just started the bass about 3 weeks ago and because of your videos I am able to play some songs and jam with a guitarist! Thank you so much!!
Thanks awesome Chuck, glad I could help!
Great Video!
Absolutely loved the video. Really helpful teaching my son to play! Keep up the good work! uspoor!
Thank you, thank you,, you are a great teacher.. Great graphics,, easy to understand.
just found this channel today and have to admit i totally love it :) keep going!
Thanks Julian!
As a guitar player who has just made a bass this got me going straight away feeling like I was making music. Thanks
This is so helpful, thank you! A lesson like this on rock too would be awesome! :)
Love this! Got the course by the way. As a beginner bass player the course is great. Never thought I'd be playing bass LOL
Gone through a ton of videos n none made learning this simpler & fun….! ❤
Josh, I love your lessons. Really useful, easy to follow and you make them fun! Best Bass tuition on the tube dude.
Thanks John!
Dude, this is brilliant! What a simple and direct, yet thorough approach. 🤘
Thank you!
Been playing for a while. Got accepted to music college for next fall and i am not familiar with the blues at all. Thanks for the vid and the download. I will practice those for the next couple of months ❤
I’ve been playing ukulele for a couple of years, and my first bass guitar is arriving tomorrow!! I can’t wait to try out these patterns. I’ve watched a BUNCH of your videos and I’m excited to get to know a different 4-string instrument. 😊 Thanks for this excellent channel!
You're welcome Amy!
Excellent video..
