Soulshine by Allman Brothers Bass Lesson

[greghagger]

If you don't know the song 'Soulshine' by the Allman Brothers then check it out! It's one of those feel-good Southern Rock tunes and it has a great bass line that you can learn a lot from. It's got a nice bass groove, muted notes, slides and pentatonic fills.

 

I tackle this epic bass line in my latest lesson but as the song is nearly 7 minutes long, I just show you the main sections. The bass line constantly changes throughout the song, so some of you may find it tricky to learn. But I've made up a simplified version that still sounds great and you can see that towards the end of the video.

 

There’s a free PDF download with the bass line written note for note in standard notation and Tab. You’ll find that under the video. 

 

Enjoy!
