greghagger Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 If you are a fan of Blues and you haven't seen footage or heard of the 'In Session' gig featuring Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King then I highly recommend that you watch it! There are some brilliant renditions of Blues classics in the gig and it's great to see these two Blues guitarists playing so beautifully together. Gus Thornton is on bass duties for the gig and he really plays great, adding new ideas to these classic bass lines. You can also hear him very clearly and you even get some footage of Gus playing which is often rare for bass players who are usually hidden at the back! I've made a note-for-note transcription and a YouTube lesson on the 'Born Under A Bad Sign' bass line from this gig. Gus Thornton plays around a bit with the original Duck Dunn bass line and you can take his variations and use them when you play Born Under A Bad Sign yourself. If you want to get up at a Blues jam night then this is one of those Blues standards that it's great to know. You’ll find the free PDF in the video description. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/ICJ9jCrfI0Q 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
