Kevsy71 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 One Way Street - Nine Below Zero Runaway Baby - Bruno Mars Back in the USSR - Beatles ...always give me a smile when I see they are next on the setlist. And some I love playing in isolation but can be cramp-inducing: Treat Her Right at battle speed, and What'd I Say (Ray Charles). Quote
Al Krow Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 Runaway Baby is surprisingly fun, I agree! Particularly when you're jousting with the guitarist for exactly the same bit of sonic territory - I got mine cracking up by trying to play the bass line an octave above him but found I'd run out of dusty-end fret board 😂 1 Quote
el borracho Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Not one I've played recently live but I always loved playing this one. Can't find any footage of Paul Jeffreys actually playing it as the whole band left about the time this was released - all performances seem to be session musicians. Sadly he died in the Lockerbie disaster. Edited March 1, 2019 by el borracho Quote
ubit Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Master Blaster Jammin is another bassline that I absolutely love to play along with. Again, not too challenging but a great bassline nevertheless! Quote
