Getting Inside The Memphis Soul Stew Bass Line

If you don’t know King Curtis's classic tune, 'Memphis Soul Stew' then you have to check it out. It has a funky bass riff that is featured throughout and pretty much runs the whole show!

 

As well as the original studio version of Memphis Soul Stew, there is a well-known live version that feature the groovemeister, Jerry Jemmott. But he didn't play on the studio version and there is often confusion about this.

 

In my latest YouTube video I discuss this bass line, teach the main riff, include snippets from the classic live version and show you an interesting interview with Jerry Jemmott where he discusses this bass line.

 

You’ll find a full note-for-note transcription of the original bass line under the video.
