For sure, – I like to make up my own basslines using The Blues Box, … I just want to have a list of songs that I can systematically go through those variations with , and at the same time develop the habit of playing along with songs, and backing tracks, – because I almost never do that.
Such a good idea. I haven’t seen this, but I also think it would be wonderful. YouTube or Spotify libraries of the playlists from the videos would be yet another gem in this starry bass-teaching crown.
Yeah, – I got the idea while playin’ and a singin’ along with Hank Williams…
I’ll make a Blues Box Playlist, – as well as a Bass To Badass Playlist, because songs like Higher and Higher are classics that, even when they cease being a challenge, will always be a great warm up, – and if I’m ever good enough to be in a Function Band songs like that are going to be on the set list; so might as well start a catalog of songs from The American Songbook, and keep “up to snuff” on them.
I couldn’t figure out how to share it here, but if you go to Spotify it’s titled:
BLUES BOX SHAKE DOWN
I couldn’t find the Eric Clapton version of I’m Torn Down, but I found a smoking hot Jeff Healey version. I hope you can find it, – if you are interested.
