Pestie Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Morning Basschatters I need help. The band l'm in have decided to do the Blues Brothers version of She Caught the Katy for a gig next Saturday. Does anybody have a simplified tab for this please? I have the full Duck Dunn version in Bass Player mag but it's too much to learn in the time available. He does every section differently. I need to be able to nail it quickly, l have just about got the first verse and bridge that Duck plays but the arrangement is quite difficult for me, All help gratefully received, Cheers Mike (Pestie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobVbass Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Probably one of my favourite bass lines - DD at his finest - you could probably hash it with a Johnny be Goode blues walk for the main parts if you're really desperate -good luck and enjoy it though Edited June 18, 2017 by BobVbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 It's a lovely bass part. Did some work with a BB tribute act a few years back and she caught the Katy and who's making love were the two standout songs for me although there's not really a bad song in a BB set.

Pestie Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Thank you, l'm struggling but slowly getting there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Did this for a birthday do a while back, it's a tricky one. I had an app at the time to slow tracks down, which helped as I only had a night to learn it. I reckon rather than focus on getting it bang on (there are a few twiddly bits in there), work on that feel and you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 try to learn it properly to do justice to Duck's gorgeous bassline now where is my Blues Brothers CD?..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestie Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Thank you all. I'm just about there but it is a tricky one indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 just a heads up, a song like this does not always sound so good without a horn section, depending on how you play it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapiro Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Can you read? If so just read it! http://dodgebass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/she-caught-the-katy-0102091.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I mainly pluck with fingers but any Duck Dunn bassline needs to be played with a pick. It just sounds right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
