So I always just kinda played this song repetitively and I finally watched a live version of Brubeck with Desmond and the gang and it occurred to me that I wasn't playing anything like what the bassist (I think it was Eugene Wright or something along those lines) was playing...for reference I usually play the song like this:
G|----------------| and then vamp it or whatever
D|----------------|
A|-6-6--6-6----4-|
E|-----------6----|
then play this (with some passing notes or whatever in between) with different rhythms (I'll just put the notes to save space)
G|----------------------|
D|----------------------|
A|-2-1--------2-1-------|
E|------4--2-------4--1-|
then go back to the vamping part for the solos and just change it up with rhythms and such...
Anyone know how to really play it? ALA This version (
