Hey all, dumb question, requiring some effort on whoever is willing to help. I posted a few weeks ago, as I was learning “Criminal World” by Bowie. I’ve worked through 90% of the song comfortably, but I am hung up a quick bass riff I can’t seem to get the count right on.
Here’s a good cover of the song: David Bowie - Criminal World [Bass Cover] - YouTube
The Stevie Ray Vaughan solo starts at 1:37. There’s the D-G# Slide, then B-C# twice. What’s hanging me up is the B at 1:44, or the 2-4-5 on the A String. It seems syncopated?? I can’t seem to get the count right, and I’m coming in a split second too early or too late.
I’ve tried isolating it and looping it, and it’s driving me nuts. She’s on time, as I’ve matched it up with the original.
I know this is silly, but it’s holding me up. Any advice for trying to get the count right?
