Freddie King, ‘Same Old Blues’ Bass Lesson

[greghagger]

Last week I released a video lesson that focused on the slow 12/8 Blues style. 6/8 time is very similar to 12/8 time, and is often used for slow Blues tunes too.

 

In my latest lesson I show you how to play the bass line from the Freddie King version of, 'Same Old Blues'. This is a lovely 6/8 slow Blues tune with the addition of a choir at one point.

 

Learning to play in 6/8 time will strengthen what I showed you last week, and it's important to be able to do this if you want to play at Blues jams, as a slow Blues tune is bound to come up.

 

There’s a free transcription of the original bass line under the video. 

 

Enjoy!
