greghagger Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 There are so many great Rolling Stones hits but there is one tune that they have played the most frequently at their live gigs - Jumpin' Jack Flash. This is another one of those songs where the bass line is rarely played like the original when covered by bands. I think this is in part due to confusion with the different guitar riffs and the fact that the bass part is 'buried in the mix' for a lot of the song. I can still remember years ago getting up and 'blagging' this bass line at a mate's gig after a few beers. I definitely didn't play the original bass line but whatever I played, it seemed to work! So, to continue with the British Blues theme from last week, I've made a lesson on the Jumpin' Jack Flash bass line and written a full transcription, which is as close to the original bass line as I could get it. Find out more in my latest YouTube lesson where you can also download the transcription. Watch out for my Jumpin' Jack Flash play-though video on Tuesday where you can see me jamming with the original song, this time playing the actual bass line! https://youtu.be/2ss49qoiJhE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
