Walkabout Bass Tabs – Learn How to Play Like a Pro

Walkabout Bass Tabs – Learn How to Play Like a Pro

Introduction

Are you a fan of Red Hot Chili Peppers? Do you want to learn how to play one of their most popular songs, Walkabout, on your bass guitar? Well, you’re in luck! In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to master Walkabout bass tabs and play like a pro.

Step 1: Tune Your Bass Guitar

Before you start playing, it’s important to make sure your bass guitar is in tune. You can use a chromatic tuner or a tuning app to achieve this. Remember, a poorly tuned instrument can affect the sound quality of your playing.

So, take your time and make sure each string is in tune. Once you’re satisfied, you can move on to the next step.

Step 2: Learn the Main Riff

The main riff of Walkabout is the foundation of the song. It’s a simple yet catchy melody that repeats throughout the track. To play this riff, start on the E string with your index finger on the 7th fret and your ring finger on the 9th fret. Next, move to the A string and play the 7th fret again with your index finger and the 9th fret with your ring finger. Repeat this pattern for a few bars until you’re comfortable with it.

Now, add some variation to the riff by playing the 10th fret on the A string with your pinky finger. This creates a descending line that leads back to the main riff. Practice this riff until you can play it smoothly and with confidence.

Step 3: Add Bass Fillers

Bass fillers are an important part of any bass line. They add depth and variation to your playing, making it more interesting to listen to. In Walkabout, the bass fillers come in during the choruses of the song.

To play the first bass filler, start on the A string with your index finger on the 7th fret. Move to the 9th fret with your ring finger, then slide up to the 12th fret with your pinky finger. Next, move to the D string and play the 9th fret with your ring finger and the 7th fret with your index finger. Finish off this filler by sliding down to the 5th fret on the A string with your index finger.

For the second bass filler, start on the A string with your index finger on the 7th fret. Move to the 9th fret with your ring finger, then slide up to the 12th fret with your pinky finger. Next, move to the D string and play the 14th fret with your pinky finger and the 12th fret with your ring finger. Finish off this filler by sliding down to the 7th fret on the A string with your index finger.

Step 4: Put It All Together

Now that you’ve mastered the main riff and bass fillers, it’s time to put everything together. Start by playing the main riff for a few bars, then add the first bass filler during the chorus. Repeat the main riff, then add the second bass filler during the second chorus. Finally, finish off the song with the main riff.

Remember to practice this sequence over and over until you can play it effortlessly.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve learned how to play Walkabout bass tabs like a pro. Remember to take your time and practice each step until you feel comfortable. With enough dedication and practice, you’ll be able to impress your friends and take your bass playing to the next level.
