Red Hot Chili Peppers "Scar Tissue" Bass Line: A Deep Dive into the Melodic Groove LIVE


Hello fellow bass players,

If there’s one song that defines the power of a bass line, it has to be Red Hot Chili Peppers’ "Scar Tissue." Flea's melodic and groovy part is more than just a rhythm—it's the heart of the song.

I recently went live to do a deep dive into this very bass line, and I’ve put the full session on YouTube. This is a real-time, in-depth practice where we work on mastering the melodic groove that makes this song so iconic.

This isn't a polished performance. It's an honest look at the practice process, where I play along with a backing track to get the feel just right. The focus is on the subtle rhythmic tricks and the beautiful melody, not just a simple tab playthrough.

Whether you're an intermediate player looking to refine your skills or a beginner ready for a challenge, I encourage you to grab your bass and practice along with me.

You can watch the full live session below.
