greghagger Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 A really great Blues gig happened in Ontario in 1983 and that was the 'Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan - In Session' gig. The bass player on this gig was session bassist, 'Gus Thornton' who also put in a great performance. Gus has played a lengthly career with many Blues artists and is still touring today, as far as I know. One of the tunes that they played at this gig was Stevie Ray Vaughan's, 'Pride and Joy'. I love what bassist, Tommy Shannon played on the original SRV version but Gus Thornton also played a solid bass line in the live version. So, I thought it might be interesting to compare both of these bass line from Pride and Joy and share what I found with you. You can pick up loads of different ideas from my video to use in your own shuffle Blues bass lines and studying these iconic players is the perfect way to improve your own playing and creativity. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
