Yes! If you watch the video, you’ll see that I I reference Freddie King in the first 30 seconds and say twice that we’re looking at the Eric Clapton version!
@@wesk.2924 no worries at all, I do try and reference the original artists when I cover a particular version. I actually realised when researching this tune, that although Freddie King first recorded this, he might not have written it. Like a lot of the blues standards, they were kicking around for years before being recorded, sometimes under a slightly different name. It’s pretty fascinating checking out the history.
Depending on the flow of the song, for the last 4 bars one could also play G-F-C-turnaround...just to mix it up a bit and make it interesting for the player and listener.
Nice one Greg, it is such a straight forward bass line, but with all the extra little flourishes it fills right out. How are you getting on with the Tapewound strings?
Hi Micky, yeah it's a simple one but for some reason I've seen quite a few students struggling with cleanly moving to the different positions. I love the Tapewounds and with a bit of practice I've found a way to edit my plucking technique to suit them better. I think you might have been the one that suggested to pluck more lightly and that's good advice.
@@GregsBassShed After using Flatwounds for so long the Tapewounds took a little getting used to, once I had adjusted the neck and got everything playing how I like it, though it did feel like I was about to launch an arrow rather than play a note sometimes.
@@GregsBassShed I've always liked the roundwound sound, but preferred the feel of Flatwounds on my dodgy fingers, so the Tapewound are the best of both worlds and with the decreased tension compared to Flats are much easier for my gammy hand to press and hammer etc.
It's a Freddy King song, Clapton just covered it.

@GregsBassShed Yes, I shoulda watched first. Sorry.
But part of it was that I didn't want that right-wing nut bag, Clapton, once again getting more credit than he deserves.

@@GregsBassShedSonny Thompson wrote it.
This has been in my band's setlist from day 1... lot of fun to play.
it's a good one isn't it!
Thanks!
Cheers Greg!
Muy bueno
Gracias, me alegro que te haya resultado útil.

Another easy little variation that fits most 12 bar blues tunes is 1&2&3& triplet
Both good ideas to mix it up a bit 👍
Very nice Greg !!
Cheers! Your recommendation I think Sam?

@@mickymondo7463 yeah they definitely have a different feel to them. I loud their sound though.
