greghagger Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I've had a request to look at a section of the tune Tightrope, specifically the version from 'Live In Montreux'. The brief was to explain what on earth Tommy Shannon played in a certain chorus of this tune. This request reminded me of a one-to-one lesson I'd done a while back on the very same section of bass line. When I first analysed this bass line I found something there which was new to me. It's so simple and yet so effective and I'm surprised that I hadn't seen this technique being utilised on bass before in Blues. Find out more in the latest GBS Youtube video and you'll have a cool Blues riff that you can surprise everyone with! I’d love to hear if you’ve seen this sort of thing being used before by Blues bass players. https://youtu.be/vbMOHSxMGRc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
