80-20 Bass Groove 8 – Duck Dunn Style

March 9, 2021 by Paul Wolfe

Here’s 80-20 Bass Groove 8:

This groove is in a Duck Dunnn/Stax kind of style.  Here’s the notation and tab:

If you watched the complete video clip you’ll have heard a play through with a harmonic metronome – this is a metronome that clicks on beats 2 and 4 and you can use this groove as a good test of time.

To download the practice tracks – which includes band track at 110 BPM, chordal metronome at 90 BPM and harmonic metronome tracks at 100 and 110 BPM – then click this link below:

    Hi Paul,
    A suggestion for your pages – for those of us already signed up, how about adding a button indicating “Sign In.” It’d be a step-saver for us. Thanks for considering!

      Hey Cassius

      When you log in there’s a check box on the log in page that says something like: KEEP ME LOGGED IN.
      If you log in and check that check box then you wont have to log in again for 28 days provided you don’t log out.

      Paul
