Hound Dog - Elvis Presley bass cover - TGKmusic

"Hound Dog" is a twelve-bar blues written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and originally recorded by Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton in 1952. Other early versions illustrate the differences among blues, country, and rock and roll in the mid 1950s. The 1956 remake by Elvis Presley is the best known version. This is the version that is #19 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. "Hound Dog" was also recorded by 5 country singers in 1953 alone, and over 26 times through 1964. . From the 1970s onward, the song has appeared, or is heard, as a part of the soundtrack in numerous motion pictures, most notably in blockbusters such as American Graffiti, Grease, Forrest Gump, Lilo & Stitch, A Few Good Men (film) and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Quick tip man, put a lil bit of packing foam under your strings close to the bridge to get rid of that nasty string buzz. Also, the second you can get one, get a compression pedal. you play very well and learning the oldies is always the best trip to take, keep on playing

@MrBassFrehley First off thank you =] second the ackign foam works? I mean I havn't had that sound for a while since this was on a crappy little amp i know have a 4X10 cabinet and an ampeg B2RE amp head also I have been looking into a compression pedal again thakn you - TGK
