This left hand bass line is a hand twister, no doubt, & hard to work up to any speed. Eeco, your hands must be fairly large, but even you are just barely getting the left bass note with your pinky (finger 5), like for instance the C, in the beginning, then of course, F & G later in the progression. Have you ever used this one in a piece you've put up on youtube? Or do you plan to? Will keep at this one over time.
Lovely fat sound LH pattern! This hurts my hands after doing for a few minutes. I notive your fingering is slightly different to the way I do it : 1,3,5 for the 1st "chord". Ill try it that way! Many Thanks!
Excellent blues part. As soon as I get home, I'll try it with some impro :).

What do you mean with 1,3,5 ?? :D
freakyhead20 5 years ago
Thumb on C, then 3rd finger on G, 5th finger on E.
I was always using the 2nd finger, but your fingering is better.
