7 Easy Bass Songs for Beginner Bassists

![woman-playing-bass.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/woman_playing_bass_6563b50b2d/woman_playing_bass_6563b50b2d.jpg)

When starting out on a new instrument, it can be intimidating to learn music without the fundamental technique and theory that the modern day gigging bass player is expected to have. A great way to practice the bass guitar is to take apart **easy bass songs**, and understand what they can teach you about playing music and your role as a bassist. I’m here to break down a few easy bass-focused songs and help you along on the journey of becoming a bassist. Shall we get started?

## 1. “Another One Bites The Dust” - Queen 

A classic rock tune whose bass line was written and performed by John Deacon of Queen, is an absolute must-know for any bassist looking for easy songs to practice bass guitar. If you’re just getting started on bass, it can be difficult to match each and every one of Deacon’s articulations and cleanly catch every single note he plays. But, what makes this an easy tune to start with is the key and the repetition. 

*Another One Bites The Dust* is in the key of E Minor, primarily revolving around the open E string and the first and second positions. This allows for minimal shifting and allows newer bassists to get accustomed with the lower parts of the fretboard. The repetition in the tune also makes for an easy bass line that new players can easily familiarize themselves with. 

## 2. “I Got You (I Feel Good)” - James Brown 

For beginner bassists looking for a funkier approach, your search has ended! Look no further than this James Brown classic, whose bass line was written by David “Hooks” Williams. What makes this a great song for beginner bass players is the actual structure of the bass line itself. It is constructed almost entirely of pentatonic scale shapes, which fit well under a new bassist's hands. This tune will challenge the right hand of new players, as well as familiarize them with a typical 12 bar blues form. 

## 3. “Cissy Strut” - The Meters

Another easy and essential bassline written and performed by the great George Porter Jr, this tune is also mostly centered around the pentatonic scale in C minor, and will help to challenge the new bass player’s rhythm and groove. For this slower funky ostinato-based track, practice and patience is essential in order to perform it with correct notation and feel. [Isolating this track using Moises](https://moises.ai/made-for/bassists/) will be essential if you are looking to get Porter’s original line. 

## 4. “For The Love of Money” - The O’Jays


Another funk classic, performed on bass by maestro Anthony Jackson, and one of the best songs to learn on bass. For new players, the challenge here lies in the right hand technique. Either played with a pick or fingerstyle, this bass line will push you to play with a light touch and clear articulation, as each note should stand out as it does on the track. This is an excellent tune for the practicing beginner bassist who is looking for a challenge.

## 5. “All Blues” - Miles Davis


A staple in the world of jazz performed by bassist Paul Chambers, this track features alternative chord changes to the typical blues form. Stationed firmly in the key of G, this tune serves as a great introduction to the world of jazz while not being too complex or difficult to understand. The ostinato line played by Chambers allows bassists to work on positional playing, and using Moises, can learn the functional harmony behind most blues-adjacent music. 

## 6. “Mercy Mercy Mercy” - Cannonball Adderly and Joe Zawinul

Performed on bass by Vic Gatsky and originally composed by Joe Zawinul, this R&B/jazz track is a must-know for any beginner bassist looking to diversify their practice. Written in the key of Bb major, it is very easy for new players to either stay in first position, or move more towards the center of the fretboard in third position. 

What makes this an easy bassline is the rhythm of the notes. For most of this tune, Gatsky plays mostly quarter note rhythms on chord tones, making it an easy track to pick up. The chords played are also diatonic to Bb major, meaning that the structures are all within the key and unaltered. This is one of the best songs to learn on bass if R&B is of interest. 

## 7. “Girl From Ipanema” - Antonio Carlos Jobim/Vinicius de Moraes 


A bossa nova staple, this track has an easy to digest rhythm feel, with the bass line being contrived of half-note rhythms over relatively complex and rich chord changes. The bass part in itself is not a very difficult one - where it becomes a challenge for beginner players is the harmony underlying what the bass is playing. Jobim’s careful chord choices, from altered diatonic chords to tritone substitutions, allow new players to challenge their theory a little more than the average beginner. 

Learning something by ear is always a challenge. That never changes in the world of music. But as with any challenge, there is also the option to work smarter; **isolating tracks**. Using Moises to “take apart” music and listen further into the nuance of each individual's playing is some of the best teaching music has to offer, from a tone you like to the way a player articulates a note. **By isolating bass tracks, it becomes much easier to work your way through a tune at any skill level.** 

**Do you have any suggestions of easy bass lines that didn’t make the list? Share with us!**

Tapping into the latest insights of music AI at the biggest event in the area of Music Information Retrieval. 

Moises Participates as Platinum Sponsor of ISMIR 2022 alongside Spotify

![ismir-conference.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/ismir_conference_e57a43d001/ismir_conference_e57a43d001.jpg)

As a major player in delivering high-quality audio stem separation, Moises is consciously spearheading music tech innovation by directly investing in future-forward research. In early December 2022, this mission brought us to Bengaluru, India, where the 23rd edition of the **International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference (ISMIR)** took place. **Moises participated as a platinum sponsor, alongside Spotify.** 

ISMIR represents the biggest group of scholars, researchers, and practitioners in the niche and fascinating field of music information retrieval (MIR), a discipline that deals with processing, analyzing, organizing, and accessing music information. This type of interdisciplinary research is hugely valuable to us for building the best app experiences, delivering the highest quality audio stem separation around, and finding new ways of creating music tools that benefit musicians in innovative and intuitive ways.

Our team was represented by Igor Gadelha, our Head of Machine Learning; Felipe Honorato and Felipe Alves, our Machine Learning Engineers; Filip Korzeniowski, our Lead Data Scientist; Emir Demirel and Richard Vogl, our researchers; and Arlindo Galvão, a university professor and a partner of Moises.

Gadelha shares how valuable the event was in terms of connecting the ambitions for future tech with the people who will make those ambitions a reality: 

> “The ISMIR community is truly great and does a fantastic job at highlighting the need for more diversity of people, both in the tech industry and music tech academia.”

![moises-team-ismir.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/moises_team_ismir_3df486824d/moises_team_ismir_3df486824d.jpg)

The conference was also a chance for our team to share two job openings we currently offer with world-class researchers, improving our chances to get the best global talent to spearhead our mission of enhancing human-focused technology. 

We were also deeply honored to act as a platinum sponsor of this conference, **solidifying our place as music AI innovators**. The event this year brought some incredible research forward, with the Best Paper Award given to the “Performance MIDI-to-score conversion by neural beat tracking” paper. 

Honorato, our Machine Learning engineer, summarized what the experience was like for him: 

> "The ISMIR community welcomed us in a way that we couldn't expect. We were able to interact with many kind and brilliant people, who got us thinking more deeply about the future of the MIR field and new ways we can empower people’s potential with AI. On top of all this inspiration, we got to know the Indian culture better, which is rich in ethical values and belief systems. All in all, it was a fantastic experience."

Moises for Guitarists: How to Make Guitar Backing Tracks, and Other Powerful Features

![guitar-backing-tracks.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/guitar_backing_tracks_be75d43afb/guitar_backing_tracks_be75d43afb.jpg)

So, you created your Moises account, got the app in front of you, the guitar is snugly sitting in your lap, and you’re ready to slay the guitar parts from your favorite songs - now what? Before you find yourself lost in an endless search for the right guitar backing tracks, read on to see how you can make the most of our features and ace your practice sessions to the fullest. 

## AI AUDIO SEPARATION 
Whether you’re using Moises in the phone App, Web App, or Desktop version, our powerful and laser-focused AI allows you to import any song and separate the audio into instruments and vocals in moments. You can easily mute the vocals and other instruments and listen to the guitar track only, so you can hear all the nuances and practice with accuracy. Or, if you already know the guitar parts to a certain song, mute just the guitar and play along. Sounds too good to be true? We get it - many other tools in the past had claimed to do the same, but simply didn’t deliver. 

That’s where our tech comes in, bearing Marty Schwart’s stamp of approval. The iconic guitar mentor with a 3.5 million subscriber base sings his praises in his very own Moises tutorial:

In the video, he showcases how to quickly create guitar backing tracks for effective practicing with the [Moises iPad App](https://moises.ai/products/ipad-app/), and goes on to rock the guitar lead to ACDC’s Back in Black. With Marty swooning over the precision and quality of this function, tailoring your practice experience with your dream tracklist is easier than ever before.

## CHORD DETECTION 
Can’t find the guitar chords for the song you’re itching to play? With our smart Chord Detection, you’ll never need to look beyond Moises. Simply import any song into the app from your phone or browser and the AI will generate all the chords for you. Think of it as Shazam for chords that appear on the screen in real-time, so you can start following along and emulate your idols. Also, knowing which key the song is in allows you to improvise any guitar solos way more easily. 

This function has another great bonus: ear training. Over time, you’ll be getting used to how specific chords sound, developing your own intuition to recognize them. It’s the chord finder you’ve been waiting for - fast, reliable, and easy to use. You can also slow any of the stems down to study challenging chord progressions closely or to hear the details of difficult riffs. 

Take a look at The Bearded Guitarist’s review to see how quickly and accurately the AI responds:

## PITCH CHANGER 
Doing a cover as a band but the singer needs to sing in a different key? We got you. With Moises, you can change the key of any imported song and the chords will transpose automatically - no extra work for you. And if you’re doing a cover but changing the tempo, don’t forget about the [**Smart Metronome**](https://moises.ai/features/metronome-audio-speed-changer/) to generate the right-click tracks and stay in sync. 

**What other Moises features do you tend to use as a guitarist? Would you like us to write articles that go even deeper into the tech? Let us know! We love creating useful content for you.**

Henninger will work closely with our executive team, focusing on customer pool expansion and growth in B2B services.

Moises Welcomes Key Hire Matt Henninger as VP of Sales and Business Development

![Matt-Moises-VP.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Matt_Moises_VP_66a0b03b97/Matt_Moises_VP_66a0b03b97.jpg)

We’re honored to tap into the deep expertise of the digital music veteran, who led business development and sales at MediaNet Digital and SOCAN’s Dataclef, and most recently, the sales division at Audible Magic. 

This important decision comes at an opportune time. The AI we’ve built is still an untapped territory for many businesses and we’re in a unique position to grow thanks to our scalability: 
> “Because Moises is already operating at an Enterprise scale, we know that we can offer these services in a really economical way to businesses who could leverage their own experiences and create new creator tools.” 

This ambition alludes to Moises working with streaming and social media platforms in a symbiotic way, with our AI acting as a potential new feature within these services. In the context of ever-evolving content creation technologies, Henninger notes that these alliances could lead to a fundamental change in the way people interact in the various digital ecosystems.

He also sees new potential arising for music creators and labels: “I think a huge market segment for us are labels and musicians that have created music over the years and don't have access to the stem.” The creators could potentially “license their stems and find more revenue from old music.”

Despite the lack of logistics, we took extra care to optimize our company infrastructure to easily support any business based anywhere on the globe, which means [other companies can harness](https://developer.moises.ai/) the power of our products smoothly. Plus, our **partnership with Google** to secure cloud resources that only a few companies in the world have access to puts us ahead in the game in the world of AI-supported creativity.

Henninger is very much aligned with our core mission, which comes down to empowering music creators and performers with intuitive and powerful technology. On top of that, he says we’re entering a unique era of technological innovation refocusing on the artist themselves: "In the next three to five years or so, we’re about to see a wave of creator tools with AI assisting the human process".

Moises raises $8.65 million to assist musicians in harnessing AI technologies

![moises-team.png](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/moises_team_9bbd69b9fb/moises_team_9bbd69b9fb.png)

**Salt Lake City, Utah** – Moises, the startup behind the chart-topping music app that provides an AI-powered platform for separating parts of a song, is announcing the close of an $8.65 million round on August 10th. The round was co-led by Kickstart Fund, Utah's most active seed fund, and Monashees, a leading Brazilian investor, with participation from Norwest, Toba Capital, Alumni Ventures, Goodwater, and Valutia.

Moises is a music-tech company focused on researching, developing, and distributing AI technologies to the music and creative space. Moises' suite of technologies powers its [award-winning app](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wmiR8Zsv9g) that allows musicians to isolate or remove parts of a song, such as vocals and guitars, recognize chords, transcribe lyrics, and detect beats. This provides a solution to a problem Geraldo Ramos, Moises co-founder and CEO, faced as an amateur drummer looking for better ways to practice.

"Moises makes music magic happen," said Grammy-award winner and world-class musician Jordan Rudess, who recently became Moises's first brand ambassador.

Moises is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, and embraces the concept of hybrid work. The company currently has over 50 employees, mainly distributed between Salt Lake City and João Pessoa, Brazil, where the company established a hub earlier in 2021.

The company's musician-focused app currently has over 20 million registered users and is localized into 33 languages. Over the years, the app has ranked #1 in the US App store and other major countries.

"Our mission is to leverage technology to empower people to reach their full creative potential," said Ramos. The company recently rolled out a new songwriting assistant tool to help musicians create music with the help of AI. "It's like Grammarly for musicians," Ramos added.
The funds will expand the startup's operations and invest in new products. "Even though Moises is mostly known for its suite of tools for musicians, the company's scope is much larger, as we aim to lead a new generation of AI technologies and become a service provider for the industry," explains Ramos.

The money from the round will also help Moises research new algorithms and expand B2B partnerships, as big players are already testing the Moises API in the industry. "We intend to help advance the music industry by adding new value for the entire ecosystem, including music labels, publishers, distributors, and most importantly, musicians," said Ramos.

## About Moises’ Founders
Geraldo Ramos is originally from the Northeast region of Brazil and started his first tech company there when he was 16, which he later sold when he was 26. He then started a web and mobile dev shop, and in 2012 that company took him to NY to focus on business development, ultimately his foray into the US. The dev shop produced a spin-off company called HackHands, an online technology mentoring platform for computer programmers and coders. He then sold the company in 2015 to Pluralsight. Ramos moved to Utah to continue with Pluralsight but left to launch Moises in late 2019 with his co-founders Eddie Hsu, COO, and Jardson Almeida, CDO. Ramos met Hsu in Brazil, while he met Almeida in San Francisco. All three founders are originally from the northeast region of Brazil.

So you are thinking about purchasing or have just got yourself a new drum kit and are asking yourself ‘how in the world do I set this up?’ Here are 7 steps for beginners to learn how to set up a drum kit.

How to Start Your Drum Kit Setup

Setting up your drum kit, as simple as it sounds, is actually one of the most important things to know before learning how to play. Proper angles and alignment will help you learn to play better and avoid injury. Below we’ve listed some simple steps to guide you along your journey, so let’s get your **drum set started!**

## 1. Drum Placement
Before setting anything up, you’ll want to consider where in the room you’d like your drum cage to be and which direction you want it to face. If you often rehearse or jam with other musicians, it would probably be better to **setup your drum kit** in a corner or with your back to a wall so you have a good view. 
 
> *A helpful tip: If your room has anything but carpeted flooring, put a rug down to protect your floors from the foot pedals and kick legs.*
 
Make sure wherever you decide that you have room to set up your drums on either side of your stool and still have enough room to get out behind you (if your back is against a wall.) You want to make sure your stool (also called a throne) is at the right height, slightly above 90°, thighs parallel to the ground with your knees slightly below the tops of your legs. Slight adjustments can help you find what feels the most comfortable as long as you maintain a good center of balance to move around the kit. 
 
Once in a comfortable position, it’s time to start bringing your drums in. 

## 2. Bass Drum
Your bass drum will be the center focal point of your drum kit. Fold the legs down and dig them into the rug or carpet to prevent them from moving by angling them slightly forward. *Another helpful tip is to raise the legs so the front of the bass drum is off the floor enough to compensate for the lift on the batter hoop when you slide your pedal clamp under it, this will also help the drum to resonate freely.* Fasten your bass pedal right in the center of your bass drum hoop.

## 3. Snare
Unfold your snare stand and adjust the height so you can easily hit the center of the drum without bumping your knees or hitting the rim. It’s a toss-up between leaving the snare flat or having it angled. Some drummers prefer to tilt the drum head slightly towards you so it follows the natural angle of your sticks while playing, while others keep it flat so their forearm and wrist are straight when hitting the middle. Find what suits your playing and stick-holding style best.

## 4. Toms
Toms can be attached either by mounting them on the bass drum, cymbal stands, or on a second snare stand (single rack toms are often on a second snare stand).
 
When arranging your tom heads imagine a half moon from the floor, over both toms, and back to the floor. The center of each tom should be cut in half by that imaginary line. Adjust them so they sit comfortably above the bass drum, but angled just enough that you’re not hitting the rims. Angling them too much is a common mistake for beginners as it wears out your heads faster and can cause injury over time by having to raise, lower, or move your shoulder and wrist in an unnatural way. 
 
You should be able to hold your sticks out in the middle of your high tom and then rotate - without changing the angle of your elbows- and have the ability to strike the center of your other two toms.
 
The same basic principle goes for your floor toms. It’s a good idea to mirror the height of your snare drum with the floor tom slightly angled towards you.

## 5. Hi-Hats
Next comes the hi-hats, which you want to set up in a similar way as your bass pedal. The bass and hi-hat pedals should be arranged in a ‘V’ formation, meaning when you look at the floor both pedals should be pointing towards you with the snare comfortably in the middle (without it touching your thighs). 
 
Hi-hat height is a personal choice as it depends a lot on your playing style, with punk and metal drummers placing it around chest height, and open-handed players (when your arms don’t cross over) keeping it quite low. Most drummers have them somewhere in between.
 
Now is a good time to double-check that you’re not overreaching for anything when setting up your drum kit. Center yourself and make sure your hi-hat and snare are easily reachable without overextending. 

## 6. Cymbals
Like the drums, you shouldn’t have difficulty reaching for any of the cymbals in a way that would compromise your center of gravity. At a bare minimum, you’ll need one crash and one ride cymbal, to begin with. A  recommended height for a single crash is just above the snare and high tom, and the ride cymbal should go high enough that you can get to your floor and low toms easily, but not so far as to have to overextend. It should also be angled towards you.

## 7. Finishing Touches
Now that you have your basics set up, it’s time to play on them and see if anything needs adjusting! Drums are incredibly customizable, so when in doubt- do what feels right!

## Bonus: Electric Drums
If you’re someone who lives in an apartment building, condo, or duplex, you might not be able to pull off acoustic drums with your neighbors, but you can always **try out electric ones!** You’ll want to make sure you get a rug or other things to reduce and dampen your sound. You could even get a podium to place your kit on and help reduce the vibrations. 
 
To build your electric kit you’ll want to start with the rack. Make sure it’s on an even and level surface, and be sure to follow the instructions sent by the manufacturer, it will make the job much simpler than trying to work it out on your own. There’s no need to tighten your screws or bolts too tightly, in fact, it can be damaging as most of the pieces are plastic, just make sure they’re nice and sturdy and you’ll be good to go.
 
Next, you’ll want to start with your drum pads, you can leave the cymbals off for now as it’s easier to adjust the drum pads if you need to make changes. Sit at your stool and see where your feet fall naturally. Place your bass drum pedal on the right and your hi-hat pedal on the left, with the snare pad in between your legs. The toms will have a spot for them on the rack!
 
Repeat the previous step with the cymbals, and place them wherever feels most comfortable and without having to overreach. Keep those instructions handy as you’ll have to connect everything once it’s on the rack, but the cables should be labeled to help you attach all the right ones!
 
Lastly, you’ll need to make sure you’ve got a way to hear your e-kit! A good quality pair of headphones is always an excellent idea when you use an electronic instrument. 
 
And there you have it! A great alternative if you live somewhere where an acoustic drum kit would simply be too loud or bothersome. Electric kits are extremely customizable, so make sure to find the positioning and comfort level that works best for you!
 
**Not every drum setup will work for you, so it’s about experimenting with different placements to find your groove, but we hope these beginner steps helped you figure out where to start!**
