I went with something a little funkier for this cover. Here is my version of Bill Wither’s “Lovely Day”. The original bassline was recorded by Jerry Knight – a multi-talented vocalist, bassist, and writer who left us much too soon in 1996 at 44 years old.
I just love this line and knew I had to work it out. At first I thought it would be easy, because it repeats a lot, but it turns out this song is right at the edge of my current playing ability. Hitting the 16ths in the right places at tempo, the muting, and ghost notes were big challenges for me. I miss it a few times here and there. Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!
