Month 5: Badge - Cream

Learn a practical, gig-ready bass line for Cream’s Badge over two relaxed live Zoom sessions.

We’ll map the form, build a solid version you can play with confidence, then explore selected Jack Bruce licks, melodic connecting lines and rhythmic details that give the original bass part its character—without needing to copy every note.

Session Dates:

•  Wed 9th Sep 2026 @3pm(BST)

•  Wed 23rd Sep 2026 @3pm(BST)

Lock in the Badge groove in two relaxed, live sessions – without getting lost in a wall of tabs.

What we’ll cover

In this monthly workshop, we use Cream’s Badge to explore melodic rock bass playing in a real song context: song form, chord movement, timing, note choice, fills, dynamics and building lines that support both the groove and the harmony.

What you’ll learn

• Play a solid, gig-ready version of Badge from beginning to end.
• Understand the song form and confidently navigate its main sections.
• Lock in the core groove and bass movement that makes the song sound right.
• Use chord tones to connect changes more musically.
• Add selected Jack Bruce-style fills and melodic phrases without overplaying.
• Learn where to leave space and where to add movement.
• Improve your note length, phrasing and dynamics in classic-rock playing.
• Get simplified and more detailed options, so the workshop works for different levels.

Hear what students have to say...

"I don’t even know if it’s legal in the United States to learn Skynyrd from a Brit but Greg taught this first workshop like he was born in the South. From beginner to intermediate to pro he walked us up in levels of difficulty of play. Chord charts, tabs, backing tracks (slowed and at speed) were available. A lot of preparation went into this workshop and it showed" - Michael Lyons

"I just wanted say how much I enjoyed the recent workshop GBS did on Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Gimme Back My Bullets. Busy southern rock line, but Greg did a great job of breaking it down and giving options that may not be the original line, but certainly something you can play along to. The workshops are new and you can pick and choose which songs you want to work on. No long term commitment. Two hour long zoom lessons with replays if you can’t make the lesson time. Love it." - Merle Peters
