Really appreciate it Bob[/quote] Bob - you have given me a great idea for my next Boot Camp Session. "Georgia On My" mind has a lovely chord sequence with lots of potential for making theoretical points, using substitutions etc and it can also be played in many different styles. So give me a couple of weeks or so (I'm fairly busy at the moment), and I'll present a set of bass parts for this tune, of varying difficulty. The Major Quote
The Funk Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I remember sitting down and working out the chords for the Ray Charles version a few years ago. The band I was in at the time never quite managed a good version of it. The changes are really nice though: lots of gospel-style and bluesy changes. Don't have a copy of the chart anymore.

The Major[/quote] Thanks very much- really appreciate it- I have a couple of versions- the Ray Charles original and a terrific Maceo Parker version who actually sings it better than Ray! Its a lovely tune and will help my reading get a bit better i`m sure. Bob Quote
