I don't know why but last night I dusted off my only Lynard Skynard album and put it in my CD player for something to play along with. Track 4, Give me Three Steps, took me about 5 minutes to figure out, but the bass line was so catchy I kept starting the song again. I must have played it 5 times before I quite for the night.
Has this ever happened to you? If so, on what tunes? |

Whenever I hear that album it's like setting the way back machine to 1985 for me.

There's a lot of songs out there with just steady quarter note grooves that can be fun as hell to play with the right band, and the right women dancing in front of you. |
