greghagger Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 My Youtube lesson last week on the Noel Redding bass lines from Red House went down really well. Since then I've had some requests to compare these bass lines with the Billy Cox bass line from Red House live at Woodstock. If you're unaware of Billy Cox, he was Jimi Hendrix's long time friend who joined him in the band after Noel Redding left. The version of Red House at Woodstock is really iconic and it's interesting to see what Billy Cox played after I’ve looked at Noel Redding's bass lines. The two bass players are very different, not least because Noel Redding was first and foremost a guitarist. But personally, I see merits in both of their bass lines and enjoy all the contrasting versions of Red House. I’ve made a full transcription of Billy Cox’s bass line and you’ll find this under the video lesson. It’s in standard notation and Tab. Enjoy, and it would be interesting to hear which version of Red House you prefer. https://youtu.be/Et4vV7Vpnqo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
