Life Is Hard Bass Line Transcription

[greghagger]

If you're a fan of the slow 12/8 Blues and you haven't heard the tune, Life Is Hard by Johnny Winter then check it out as it's fantastic. 

 

It's a minor Blues so there are some juicy chords in the progression along with a great hook that the whole band plays. This makes the bass line very satisfying to play.

I've transcribed the bass line, the exact part as played by Jeff Ganz the bassist. I’ve also made a transcription page on my website where you'll find the original song along with standard notation and TAB for the whole bass line. You can download the chart here too. 

 

Let me know what you think of the tune.
