In this lesson, we learn how to play a country blues feel on the bass... a must-have groove for any blues or country jam session. It involves the root - fifth pattern that you'll commonly hear on country-influenced tunes that follow a 12 bar blues progression. "Call Me The Breeze" or "Folsom Prison Blues" are great examples.
This play along features bassist Sean Hurley on John Mayer's version of "Call Me The Breeze." Originally written by J.J. Cale, Mayer includes a great version on his record 'Paradise Valley.' You can learn more about Sean Hurley in my book, 'Bass Players To Know.'
Fun fact: you can take private lessons with Ryan! Visit her website to learn more.

A lot of Texas style blues will use the Root-5 feel/pattern. Pretty much a staple of country music. Great song choice to demo it!

The Lynyrd Skynyrd version is probably the most famous one. Leon Wilkeson played bass for them, although they had several bassists. However, I really like the version you played to. Nice video!

@robblake9947 3 года назад

Wow I had been using the minor 7th instead of the 6th for the leading tone which sounds ok but your use of the 6th sounds much better, with more of the forward motion that the song calls for. Just a half step can make a world of difference.

@RyanMadoraMusic 3 года назад

Hi Rob, believe it or not, that's a really common mistake... I actually went straight to the b7th upon first listen as well. It's also something that is commonly used... depending on the song, players may choose to use the 6th (as in this case), the b7th, or even the major 7th! What a difference a half step makes.

@akmzaman6640 Год назад

Hello Ryan thank you very much for the awesome lesson. One question, about the 6th note. Is there any theory behind that? I mean it could be 3rd as well right? Or 6th just sounds nice?

@RyanMadoraMusic Год назад

The 6th is part of the major pentatonic scale, so it works well over a major chord as a substitution for using the 3rd. It also stems from a lot of blues/rock/country guitar parts where the guitar moves from playing the 5th to the 6th. Hope that helps!

I think there was this little known group that covered this song, they were called, lynyrd Skynyrd.. not sure if you ever heard of them.

@RyanMadoraMusic Год назад

I'm well aware that they've covered this song... it's great. That said, this lesson is specifically about the playing style and feel for this particular version, as it's more applicable to country tunes in general.

@kevinbrianjohnsonmusic 2 года назад

Would the 6th be D or Eb?

@x2mars 9 дней назад

Which string do you strike the dead note on. Say you’ve just played the root, the dead note falls on the string of the upcoming 5th?

@RyanMadoraMusic 9 дней назад

Typically I’d play the dead note on the string of the upcoming note, just before playing the fretted note. It’s not a strict rule by any sorts, but in this type of line I would do it that way.

@x2mars 9 дней назад

@@RyanMadoraMusic ok thanks! really appreciate you

@seanculun6067 4 месяца назад

Very good but it would be better and easier to get if you put a dotted fret picto show exactly the fingering

I'm using the Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 head and the SL112 cabinet. For these videos, I'm really just running through the DI line of the head but use the cabinets live.

@bearcountrypublishing5303 Год назад

The version I know best is by lynard skynard.

@markrodgers2976 3 года назад

Im digging your videos, so I'm not giving you a hard time or anything, but it was actually Skynyrd's version that has become the widely known classic, not Clapton's. ( I didnt even know there was a Clapton version, I'd only heard him doing it live sitting in with Cale, at one the the Crossroads shows.)

@davidsherman7744 3 года назад

Yep, Skynyrd’s version is great!

@Yak52able Год назад

Hi. Great lesson. Thank you for putting it out there for us. What brand P Bass is that, and what amp are you using? I know it's Aguilar, but which unit and what speakers? Are you playing out of both cabs? Your tone is great.

@RyanMadoraMusic Год назад

I'm using a Mike Lull P-bass. Amp wise, it's the Tone Hammer 500 with SL112s. I'm just running direct for these videos, but do use both speakers live.
