stewblack Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Fancy a bit of a boogie today. Thinking AC/DC (Bon Scot Era ) ZZ Top (pre pop era) that kind of thing. Suggestions of fun stuff to play along with? Quote
Paul S Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 ACDC Girls Got Rhythm and ZZTop Tush, Arrested For Driving While Blind immediately spring to mind but there are plenty more. Quote
oldslapper Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Bit O’ Edgar Winter? Or Stevie Ray Vaughan? Lnnnnrrd Sknnnrrrd? 1 Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Quo! A far better band than most would believe. Cracking little bass solo in this one too. 1 1 Quote
Maude Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Gimme Three Steps has a cool bassline that's fun to jam to. 3 Quote

Jonesy Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Zz top - nasty dogs and funky Kings, most of it is a bit boring to play on bass, but it's still one of the baddest riffs of all time! Johnny Lang - matchbox, is a fun little run SRV - the only annoying thing is tuning half a step down, but lovestruck baby is a great boogie tune and leave my girl alone is an interesting one to play. Son seals - mother in law blues is a nice boogie. The whole son seals band album is fantastic and your love is like a cancer is a good menacing bass line 1 Quote

With songs that have boring bass I quite like spending some time just jamming my own lines over the top. Something like this from Gary Clark Jr is great for improving your improvised walking bass lines. It's a bit more blues based but those walking lines can be used anywhere. 1 1 Quote

Bit like John Lee Hooker meets the early Rolling Stones. 1 Quote
Paul S Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Here's an odd one that is a bit like a cross between ZZ Top and Michael Jackson. Great song to just get into the groove or play around with. If anyone knows of a better quality recording let me know! 1 Quote
stewblack Posted March 30, 2020 Author Posted March 30, 2020 Can't stop listening to that Gary Clark Jr track. Just awesome. 1 Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Boogie with Stewblack? Led Zep wasn't it? 1 Quote

jacko Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 party right here - albert cummings or one of the myriad covers. Nice and bouncy with some interesting changes. Quote
Balcro Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Midnight Lady by Mott the Hoople. Various recordings out there. Speed increases as the track plays - could be deliberate or maybe "Buffin" had a very good night? The Japanese cover group if you come across them, are interesting but don't get boogie. Wow! I must like Boogie - The Georgia Sattelites - good call peteb - Battleship Chains for me. Edited March 30, 2020 by Balcro Quote
stewblack Posted March 30, 2020 Author Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Maybe slipping into country rock territory? Edited March 30, 2020 by stewblack Quote
Chezz55 Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 A different approach to 'Boogie'. Little Feat - good time music with some great bass lines by Kenny Gradney. Three LF songs that I love playing along with Let It Roll Dixie Chicken Cadillac Hotel Enjoy. Chris 1 1 Quote
