Post your covers! (2019-2022)

Here’s my last-minute Christmas cover of Clarence Carter’s “Back Door Santa.” I have the B.B. King version on my Christmas playlist, but that bassline is just root notes so went with the original.

Recorded on Fender MiM P Bass with flatwounds directly into DAI.

Pretty simple 12-bar blues song with some fills, but kind of challenging to get the timing down for the quick turn at the end of each measure. It’s another one of those old recordings with very prevalent bass, so it’s tough to cut that down enough without making the original sound like sh#t. So the bass may sound doubled up a bit.

Not my most polished effort but I wanted to get it done before Christmas. Now I just need to finish up Christmas shopping :sweat_smile:

Happy Holidays to everyone and thanks for being an awesome community!
