Video Lesson – What Does It Take (To Win Your Love From Me)

May 4, 2015 by Paul Wolfe

Here’s a video showing the bass guitar beginner how to play bass to What Does It Take (To Win Your Love) by Junior Walker.

This tune was a massive crossover hit for Junior Walker in 1969.

The bass line is built around a 2 bar pattern that shifts from a root note fo D to a root note of C. There are a couple of variations to the pattern at the lead out of each section. I’ve split the video into two parts – there’s the Intro and there’s the verse.

This is a pretty easy bass line – but if you’re a beginner learning a bunch of songs is a great way of coming up against real world scenarios and solving them to improve your bass playing.
