Hello :)
This is the requested transcription I did of the Joe Bonamassa song "I Gave Up Everything For You, 'Cept the Blues" from his 2014 album "Different Shades of Blues". The bass player was either Carmine Rojas, or
Michael Rhodes. This transcription can be found at www.muzento.com under Intermediate - Songs.
I enjoyed transcribing this one. It's a rockin' blues tune with just a hint of some "jazz" lines. I have a feeling who ever played bass on this track has some jazz in their vocabulary as there are some "enclosures" and use of "chromatic" notes that sound jazzy to me.
It made me wonder if I could improvise a rock blues bass line in the same style as what he did. It's pretty tough to do! I can walk a blues, but to "rock" a blues...hmmm. I haven't practiced that very much. So I think I'm going to add it to my improvising practice session ;)
There a lot of different ways one could play this song and I may have forgotten which way I played it when I was notating the TAB. My apologies if the TAB and the way I play it in the video are not the same in some spots. Think of it as having a choice of how to play it :)
I discovered when I was practicing with a drum track (which I often do) that this makes for a really good play along and study. Since it's a blues, it's easy to hear the changes, and there's some good lines and rhythms to have under your fingers.
