This weeks transcription is a tune i’ve not looked at in a minute but it randomly came over the radio while I was driving to a gig recently and that reminded me how much fun this line is to play!

At face value, it’s basically the same groove idea in two different octaves! The challenge is nailing down the line and executing it over and over again without making mistakes ;) We used to play an extended version of this with solos and we had plenty of room to stretch out but the basic studio version is a great example of being able to execute an anchoring idea over and over again with consistency.

I’ve been really enjoying using my Yamaha to record recently and I grabbed it for the lovely, wide low end its giving me now that i’ve got a set of TI flatwounds on it! Full signal chain was Yamaha - Cali76 compressor - MXR M80 - Interface.

Have fun!
