In this video I show you the bass line from Blue Jeans Blues by ZZ Top. This song is in the classic Blues style and features a solid bass line from the late Dusty Hill. This is Southern Rock Blues at its finest!
This bass line is very accessible for beginner bass players but there are added layers to it which I explain more about in the video.
This bass video tutorial is suitable for absolute beginner bass players through to intermediate bassists.
• Click for my 'Bass Beginner Series'. The series cover lots of topics for beginners, with tips on bass techniques, scales, arpeggios, pentatonic scales, and learning to read music.

Love this my brother Guthrie played bass pwith Dusty Hills brother Rocky Hill as incredible blue's guitarist who really helped formed that raw ZZ Top blues edge.

@GregsBassShed Год назад

I checked out your brother Guthrie on Spotify and love it. What a voice! The real deal! Lovin’ Mama’s Cookin

63 years young, been a fan of our Houston rock-n-roll home team since ZZ’s first album. Started plucking the four strings in April (2022). Been a member of our Praise Team at church since late July. Your videos have been a great help. RIP Dusty Hill.

@GregsBassShed Год назад

That's great to hear Michael and its really good that you have the Praise Team to play with other musicians. You got up and running playing bass live after 3 months of learning, well done! Bass is very accessible to start playing and then it's a matter of refining things after that.

Hi Greg...great lesson! As a beginner ~2 years, nailing this groove is important. More importantly, as a native Texan and lifelong ZZ Top & Dusty Hill fan, it is really cool that you did this lesson and THANKS for the pdf with the tabs!! To answer your question, I really try to match my playing to the drums, but I love the way you expressed the differences between the two styles. Thanks again!

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Thanks so much and really glad that you dig the lesson. I've always loved ZZ Top since my friend played them to me back at a student party in the mid 90's. I remember being blown away by their sense of groove and I still am!

@Rinchenuker Год назад

Great lesson. Thanks.

Thanks Brad

Hey thanks for the ‘Super Thanks’ Curt!

@frankortega4280 Год назад

Always love hearing this tune. One of my favorites. Thanks Greg!

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Glad you like it Frank, what a great tune!

@brynyowannatkinson2915 Год назад

Top notch lesson!! Feel is such a hard concept to teach, there’s no adjectives to adequately describe the process, just sort of happens, getting in the zone, all comes together, in the moment...yep hard to describe. Love playing ZZ through the years there’s so much bass improvisation on their tracks, you can add your own flavour to Dusty”s playing. Thank you...Keep groovin’ Greg.

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Great Bryn and you are on the money when you say that 'feel' is tricky to teach. Once you understand the concept, you still have to be able to play this way without dragging!

@zodak9999b Год назад

Thanks, Greg! This is one of my favorite ZZ Top tunes.

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Glad you liked it Pete

@fredparker3384 Год назад

Thanks Greg….perfect.

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Cheers Fred

@alfheyer7277 Год назад

Hi Grag, thanks fro this lessen. The FEEL - last night when I was practising "17th Texas Pride (Module 5)-75" I realised I was hanging and made sure to play on point. I had the impression, that playing behind the drum was wrong. Have nice days! Greez Alf

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Glad you like it Alf, you can definitely 'play around' with feel and where you place your notes. cheers, Greg

@kennyi8141 Год назад

Sure Got Cold After The Rain Fell is another good slow one by ZZ Top. Buddy Whittington 's version is also fantastic.

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Great, I’ll check that out Kenny.

@Likeaforest Год назад

ועכשיו אחרי השיעור אני הולכת להקשיב לשיר :,,,,תודה גרג

@GregsBassShed Год назад

צפו בערוץ היוטיוב שלי מחר בשעה 15:00, אני משחרר סרטון איתי מנגן לשיר המקורי...

@MerlePeters Год назад

Thanks for this Greg, I left a comment on your FB page. Very much a feel thing for me. Can’t describe it.

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Just saw that Merle. Playing behind the beat is definitely a 'feel thing'.

@johnfosker7315 Год назад

Hi Greg thanks for another highly informative lesson. Any chance you could give a lesson on the bass solo of Mr Big by Free. As I know you’re a fan of Andy Fraser.

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Hey John, that's on my list. I must make it as I've had quite a few requests for this recently!

@attilioascani5095 Год назад

Can you do a blues ZZ Top Certified Blues lesson it’s has a great bass groove

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Great suggestion, I’ll definitely put this on the future lessons list!

@errolforster2226 Год назад

Why don’t you play the song Greg? I want to hear the notes with the song.

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Hi Errol, when you use someone else’s song on RU-vid, the record companies that own it sometimes block the video. They can even choose to block it in say the US but not the UK. This is frustrating after spending time making and editing a lesson. But I have made a separate video where I just play through with the original track (minus bass). That will be published this coming week so make sure you click the notification bell and you’ll know when it’s out. This is a compromise that I’ve learnt to do. It the play-through video is banned, the lesson is still available.
