Chords for Little Walter - My Babe (Bass Lesson)

_ Hey everybody, I'm Josh Purdue from Austin, Texas _ I
Just wanted to make a quick little video and talk about the bass part on my babe by little Walter
_ _ _ _ Usually what happens when this is played a bass player will kind of double up
One of the guitar parts, you [F] know
[A] _ [Bb] _
[F] _ _ Specifically specifically that one
[A]
[B] So [F] _ [A] _ [Bb] _ [B] _ [N] _ when the bass player does that the same thing as a guitar player makes it a very modern sounding
_ _ Type song the songs from the 50s.
It's done by Willie Dixon a lot of those blues bass players
_ Weren't that busy?
_ _ They were playing on uprights for the most part and they were doing you know
Very few notes as little as I can you know
_ _ _ So when
_ Again, a lot of this stuff that I'm showing you is not note for note
_ The Willie Dixon part is very very hard to hear
_ There's some notes that are just I don't even hear _ _
No matter how much I EQ it _ _
So I'm just kind of like taking a guess on some of these notes
But more or less this is kind of what he's doing
And if you play it like [A] this says that you know, you're the bass player and you played it like this
_ _ It makes the whole song come alive and it just makes it sound good because you have three two guitar parts [Fm] one guitars going
_ [Bb] [Ab] Something _ [A]
like that
_ other [F] guitar players [A] going
[Bb] _
[B] [F] Something [A] like that and then the bass player is doing something like let's see
_ _ [F] _
_ [E] _ [F] And [G] _ [F] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [F] _ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ _
[E] _ [F] _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ [Bb] _ [G] _ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ you _ [C] _
_ [F] _ _ [E] _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ know something like that
[Bb] _
I _ _ _ don't even hear him
When _ _ everybody stops on the four, [F] I don't hear him play the four.
I hear him play the ones
You know, it's kind of weird _ _ _
_ [A] But anyways, I'll play it one more _ time
_ Kind [F] of slow it like
_ [C] _
[E] _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ [F] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ [E] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ [B] _ [C] _ [Bb] _ [A] _
[G] _ [F] _ _ [D] _ [C] _ [A] _ [F] _ [A] _
[G] _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [F] Something _ [E] _
[F] _ _ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ like that.
I hope that helps give it a try on the next gig that you play my babe and you'll be surprised
_ How it sounds it sounds really [Bb] cool
