‘I Know A Little’ Bass Line Breakdown

The last album that the original Lynyrd Skynyrd band released in 1977 was, 'Street Survivors,' and it features the song, 'I Know A Little', which was written by their newest member at the time, Steve Gains. This is a high-energy uptempo boogie song with a fast walking bass line played by Leon Wilkeson.

 

Leon Wilkeson played some really nice lines on this song and these are the sorts of patterns that are useful to learn and then use in your own Blues walking bass lines. It does go at some pace though and playing this bass line can feel like you're hanging on for dear life at some points!

 

In my latest YouTube video I tackle the, 'I know A Little' bass line and break it down for you. I also suggest some fingering patterns for the more awkward sections. 

 

Link to free bass line transcription is under the video. 

 

Enjoy!
