BASS LESSONS —— BACHATA EXERCISE 2 BASS TAB


This exercises focuses on the basic riff of bachata which is playing the note and 
to give it the bachata swing and sound the 5th note. But youd might ask yourself 
for those who dont know well about music theory what is the 5th note of each key. 

Well for example:

Here youre playing the E note on the 7th fret of your a—string. now the 5th note of the E would be the B.

 
As you can see the first part of the riff plays an e note and then it plays its 
5th which is B, but notice that you play the note twice. The only difference would 
be the octave distance between each b note. As you can see in the 9th fret of your 
d—string and the 7th fret of your E—string.
