greghagger Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Recently in a one-to-one lesson, one of my students recommended me making a YouTube video on the 'Alright Now' bass line. This is probably British band, Free's most well-known song. The last time that I played this song was back in the late 1980's with my school band. In fact, I played this song at my very first gig, when I switched from rhythm guitar to bass! So, my memory of this bass line was a bit hazy and I just remembered it being very simple to play. I was wrong! When I re-listened to Alright Now, I instantly realised that Andy Fraser, the bassist from Free, was playing some really great stuff and that the guitar solo section was going to need some analysing! I researched the song online as I thought that I could hear two bass tracks in this section. During this process, I discovered some interesting facts about the recording session for Alright Now. In my latest YouTube video, I break down the Alright Now bass line and share what I discovered with you. This bass line definitely warrants a video lesson because as usual, Andy Fraser delivers a unique bass line with interesting and challenging musical ideas. There is a link under the video to my full transcription of the bass line. Enjoy! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
