greghagger Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Every now and then I come across a bass line that really makes an impression on me. When this happens, I love to learn the bass line and play it over and over again to try to understand why it works so well. Greg T. Walker from southern rock band, 'Blackfoot' created a real gem in his bass line from their classic, 'Highway Song'. Not only is the bass line beautifully crafted, but the song is so great too. This bass line is a bit different from the usual rock bass line and contains a variety of techniques like, double-stops, high melodic lines, scalic patterns, and long continuous 8th note phrases.
