Warning! Dont do all of this (maybe 25% of it) in a tune! But use some of the ideas where you feel appropiate
In this example i cram almost everything i know in playing the bassline over the progression.
Chordnotes, scale notes, chromatic passing notes,

inversions of the chords, doublestops (2 note chords) etc.
Playing this in a band would surely get me fired for overplaying, but again, its an example of possibilties and inspiration for you to in learning to play over these fairly simple Major chords.
And we havent even touched the use of the 7th, as we basically play over triads with a 6th added here and there, but its the pure major chord with is used a lot in most rock and pop songs.
Nor havent we even begun playing the minor chords - they are up next;-)
