Jack Casady’s ‘White Rabbit’ Riff

[greghagger]

It's taken a while, but I've finally got round to taking a closer look at a Jack Casady bass line.

 

Recently in a one-to-one lesson, a student asked me about the main bass riff from 'White Rabbit' by Jefferson Airplane, and I thought it might make a good YouTube lesson.

 

The White Rabbit riff can cause some confusion as it contains a fast triplet fill. But I break it down for you and also share an interesting plucking technique that Jack Casady used in this bass line.

 

You'll find all this with a breakdown of the whole bass line in my latest YouTube video. Full bass line transcription link under the video in the description.  Enjoy!
