Video Lesson – Midnight Hour

May 5, 2015 by Paul Wolfe

Here’s a video showing the bass guitar beginner how to play bass to Midnight Hour by Wilson Pickett. The bass player on the original recording was none other than the very great Donald Duck Dunn.

Here’s the lesson for Midnight Hour:

I’ve split the lesson down into four sections – the Intro, verse 1, verse 2 and the Horn riff. All the parts for the tune are contained within these section – verse 1 and verse 2 are essentially similar except for the 2 bar tag/turnaround right at the end.
