Boogie

Zz top - nasty dogs and funky Kings, most of it is a bit boring to play on bass, but it's still one of the baddest riffs of all time!

Johnny Lang - matchbox, is a fun little run

SRV - the only annoying thing is tuning half a step down, but lovestruck baby is a great boogie tune and leave my girl alone is an interesting one to play. 

Son seals - mother in law blues is a nice boogie. The whole son seals band album is fantastic and your love is like a cancer is a good menacing bass line

With songs that have boring bass I quite like spending some time just jamming my own lines over the top. 

Something like this from Gary Clark Jr is great for improving your improvised walking bass lines. It's a bit more blues based but those walking lines can be used anywhere.

Like this!  Bit like John Lee Hooker meets the early Rolling Stones.

Here's an odd one that is a bit like a cross between ZZ Top and Michael Jackson.  Great song to just get into the groove or play around with.  If anyone knows of a better quality recording let me know!

Fancy a bit of a boogie today. Thinking AC/DC (Bon Scot Era ) ZZ Top (pre pop era) that kind of thing. 

Suggestions of fun stuff to play along with? 

Brownsville Station - the martian boogie.

a taste of honey - boogie oogie oogie

Midnight Lady by Mott the Hoople. Various recordings out there. Speed increases as the track plays - could be deliberate or maybe "Buffin" had a very good night?

The Japanese cover group if you come across them,  are interesting but don't get boogie.


Wow! I must like Boogie - The Georgia Sattelites - good call peteb - Battleship Chains for me.
