She Caught the Katy HELP!

[Pestie]

Morning Basschatters

I need help. The band l'm in have decided to do the Blues Brothers version of She Caught the Katy for a gig next Saturday. Does anybody have a simplified tab for this please? I have the full Duck Dunn version in Bass Player mag but it's too much to learn in the time available. He does every section differently.

I need to be able to nail it quickly, l have just about got the first verse and bridge that Duck plays but the arrangement is quite difficult for me,

All help gratefully received,

Cheers

Mike (Pestie)

Thank you!

Probably one of my favourite bass lines - DD at his finest - you could probably hash it with a Johnny be Goode blues walk for the main parts if you're really desperate -good luck and enjoy it though

It's a lovely bass part. Did some work with a BB tribute act a few years back and she caught the Katy and who's making love were the two standout songs for me although there's not really a bad song in a BB set.

Thank you, l'm struggling but slowly getting there!

Did this for a birthday do a while back, it's a tricky one.

I had an app at the time to slow tracks down, which helped as I only had a night to learn it.

I reckon rather than focus on getting it bang on (there are a few twiddly bits in there), work on that feel and you'll be fine.

try to learn it properly to do justice to Duck's gorgeous bassline

now where is my Blues Brothers CD?.....

[Pestie]

Thank you all. I'm just about there but it is a tricky one indeed!

[bazzbass]

just a heads up, a song like this does not always sound so good without a horn section, depending on how you play it

Can you read? If so just read it!

I mainly pluck with fingers but any Duck Dunn bassline needs to be played with a pick. It just sounds right.
