Hi I have to learn the bass to a Freddie King song, "Id Rather Be Blind". Being a blues I only need the main riff tabbed as I can go from there. Any help would be much appreciated, Cheers

Just listened on the Texas Cannonball album.....very cool line.

Get BestPractice, slow it down to 40% and grab it that way....a consistent, repeatable line.

BestPractice is free, open source software to control the time and key of music files...best deal on the internet.

The I and IV chord are simple.....the V and the turnaround a little more effort.

A nifty tune though. I think Freddie King is underrated as a Blues legend.

Yeah Freddie rocks. I was told his brother was the bass player on alot of his song's, don't know if its true or not? My band plays quite a few Freddie King songs and I have found once you have a grip on them they rock and are awesome fun to play.
