greghagger Posted January 11 Posted January 11 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! 1 Quote
Jonesy Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Nice walk through of a lovely Duck Dunn bassline! Freddie had some great players with him. I really love Benny Turner's work with him (playing with your bro must be an advantage for feel and just knowing where the song is going!), especially on the live in Europe live stuff.. 1 Quote

Jonesy Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Check this one out as well... I think you'll like the version of 'Yonder Wall' at about the 12 minute mark, but the whole show is great! 1 Quote
