In this video, I look at Duck Dunn's awesome bass line from the Blues Brothers version of 'Sweet Home Chicago'. I show you some of the techniques that Duck Dunn uses in his bass line and explain how you can use these same musical concepts in your own Blues bass lines.
This bass video tutorial is suitable for absolute beginner bass players through to intermediate bassists.
You may want to check out my 'Bass Beginner Series'. The lessons in the series cover lots of topics for beginners, with tips on bass techniques, scales, arpeggios, pentatonic scales, and learning to read music.

Give the numerous people on here "teaching" bass, your lessons are, for me, the best and most simply explained. I've learned so much about bass playing and techniques from your videos. PS. I'm now 66 and have Parkinsons and only picked up the bass two years ago and struggled until I started following your work. Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙏
I’m really glad that my lessons are helping you. Great that you are picking up the bass now. I really wish you luck with the Parkinsons and hope you can keep playing for a fair few years more to come.
I just watched the original Blues Brothers movie with my wife again recently duck Dunn's bass lines are all over that movie they make the movie Something far greater than it would have been without him it is definitely among the top five greatest movies
He's definitely a massive part of the movie!
His line on "She Caught the Katy" is a masterpiece and puts the original to shame.
@@analogman9697 one of my favourite Duck Dunn bass lines!
I am a life-long guitar player who recently bought a Fender Player Series P-Bass. I love playing bass on this song. Your playing and teaching are inspiring! Thank you!
Thanks so much and have fun with your new bass!
Guitar player mostly but love messing on a bass, love the fact you said throw your own ideas in, really enjoyed your lesson,many thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I'm up for encouraging creativity and not just playing the set bass line, because that's what you want to do at a gig. Cheers
Hi Greg, thanks for that. You have a cozy corner to play bass!
So glad I put that sofa in there! 😀
Great lesson
Cheers!
Thanks for the great lesson, Greg. I found it really helpful.
Great, glad you found it useful 👍
Thanks, Greg for the great lesson! It was a nice reminder of the things we did last year with the James and yourself on Walking bass challenge. Dunn is such a precious resource of great bass lines, either if we "quote them" note by note or build upon them our own ideas! Cheers! :)
Glad you liked it Drazen, Duck Dunn is such great player to study and enjoy!
Thanks for another great lesson, especially how you lay out the ideas behind it!
Thanks Charles.
Great breakdown of the key parts of this classic song, played by my favourite bass player. Lots of creative ideas to spice up my bands version 👍
Cheers Tim. It’s such a great bass line with si much great stuff in there! Glad you can take sone ideas away from the video for your gigs!
I played in Chicago blues bands for 20 years and if I played that many notes on SWC I’d never get another gig. Says more about the Chicago blues scene than anything negative about Duck’s brilliant playing!
Yeah some players can be so tasteful with lots of notes. I prefer less notes when I play but then again I also love Duck Dunn’s playing!
@@GregsBassShed I took a lot of blues gigs from guys who were much more talented than me but couldn’t stop playing like Jaco. Honestly, for me, Duck’s Blues Brothers stuff is a minor part of what he gave to the musical world, even if his genius was on full display with them.
You have a great way about you. Thanks for all your great work!
Thanks Michael, I appreciate that!
Nice one man I was going to make this exact video. This line has all the blues bass language you might ever need . Well done
Very true Stephen, make your version anyway as you're bound to find some different things in there that will help everyone. Cheers
You nailed it bro. One of my all time favourite bass lines. In the movie it drives that epic car chase.
I dint pkay muchvthese days cos arthritis but am gonna dust it doen to learn this as i should be. Thanks 👏
Thanks Peter and I’m glad that you are inspired. This is such great work from Duck Dunn and that’s a really memorable scene!
That scene was epic!
Totally!
Cool, thx very much for this Video and pdf, love his playing!
Glad you like it!
Fabulous lesson, all the concepts were there to play great blues lines. “Duck” Dunn is one of my favourite bass players, and you captured he’s use of contrast, which is hard to teach. How you started off in that little run on the F, high on the neck and landed up at the low end on an open E; contrast, light and dark, an aspect that adds so much flavour to blue bass playing. Nice one Greg, 👍
Thanks Bryn, I find Duck Dunn so musical and it’s a lot of fun and very educational analysing his bass lines.
Nice job, Greg. Nice blues groove fretwork. Cheers!
Some good reminders and creative thinking 🙌🏽Thanks ! I see you have an Aguilar rig. Love Aguilar
I still have an old AG500 from 2010 that still rocks .
Thanks, I loved breaking this bass line down.
I've had that Aguilar rig for some time now and like it. It's doesn't 'colour' the tone too much which suits me.
Ty Greg blues man .
Cheers 🙏
love your Agular set-up I had the same tweed cabs, top with 2-10" base cab with 1 -15' and the Tone Hammer 500 watt head. Had many compliments regarding the sound. Now have Mark Bass cabs and head, doesn't come close to the sound of Agular. Rock On!
Cheers Jason, great minds think alike. I also have the 15” cab on wheels. I love the set-up. I was considering Mark Bass at one point for lightness but not sure I’m totally sold on the sound.
Not that I need my amp so much nowadays as I often just need a DI pedal and in-ears. But it is great to have when needed.
Thanks Greg l look forward to having a crack at this.
Hope you enjoy it!
Excellent lesson, however, I have a random question....the bass you are using in this video is strung with flat wound strings? Am I right?
Yes, I'm using flatwounds.
@@GregsBassShed I knew it! I love the feel and sound of rounds on a fretted or fretless. But the cutting tone of flats is unmistakable. I just don't like that way they sit under my fingers.
@@Mohawk763 I have a P with rounds and this one with flats. The flats are definitely slower under the fingers but I love them for recording. I prefer rounds for most gigs though.
@@GregsBassShedSo flats for recording and rounds for gigs, in general. Makes sense.
@@Mohawk763 that just works for me. I love flats but like the extras zing from rounds for gigging.
I've tried getting the PDF to my email but it just doesn't arrive! Any help greatly appreciated.
Give me an hour or so and I’ll send it to you directly.

Cheers 👍
"We had a sound that turned goat piss into gasoline!"
Great quote 😂
That and "Key of A...good country key..." I think were his only lines.@@GregsBassShed
