I’ve been on a bit of a roll with classic bass lines lately!

 

This week I look at the bass line from 'The Joker' by the Steve Miller Band. This is instantly recognisable and is one of those bass lines that really defines the song.

 

It's actually more tricky to play in places than you might think and varies a lot during the song. I love how the bass line is a sort of mix of Reggae and Motown.

 

I've transcribed the whole bass line and have also written a simplified version which works over the whole song. You can see that at the end of the video lesson and on the PDF which is under the video in the description. 

 

Have fun with this one!
