greghagger Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 There's a really cool minor Blues by ZZ Top called, 'A Fool For Your Stockings'. This is from their 1979 album, Degüello. It has some stunning work on it by guitarist, Billy Gibbon and also has an interesting chord progression. It follows a 12-Bar Blues progression, but like many minor Blues, it has more interesting chords in the last four bars of the progression. Dusty Hill's bass line doesn't have anything tricky to play in it but it requires a good groove and feel to really command this root note shuffle groove. It's very accessible and a really fun bass line to jam along too. This week I've made a lesson on the bass line and you can also check out my play-through video with the original track, on Monday. Link for the full bass line transcription is under the video lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
