My face ain't pretty and my legs are thin, Greg's giving me a challenging lesson again....... Oh well. Thanks

[@GregsBassShed]

😂 I forgot just how quick it was before I made the lesson!

@@GregsBassShed I hope the coffee and PDF deal works out. My computer skills are less than stellar.

Thanks!

I've been running behind on your lessons, Greg, but I'm caught up now. This is a phenomenal tutorial. I tried this before but I couldn't get the rhythm properly. This has clarified it perfectly. Thanks.

[@GregsBassShed]

Awesome, thank you! It's a tricky one to play correctly. I'm. not sure what I used to play back in the 90's when I played it live, but it definitely wasn't right 😂

[@Ghost_Vulgarian]

@@GregsBassShed I'm still working on my speed, but I now recognise what I'm playing. 😁

[@GregsBassShed]

@@Ghost_Vulgarian really glad to be part of your progress on the bass.

Greg ,another really informative lesson . Early FleetwoodMac were a superb band . I loved another woman and Need your love so bad !.

[@GregsBassShed]

Me too, love that era of Fleetwood Mac. Two great other suggestions to! Cheers

[@garyryan8144]

John Mcvie is a very underrated blues bass player !

[@wmkennard]

Love this Ty very Greg You are the best bluesy Bassist teacher .

[@GregsBassShed]

Wow, thanks!

[@dbtucker56]

Great job!!!

[@GregsBassShed]

Thank you!!

[@mickymondo7463]

Thanks Greg I like the early Peter Green line up, this one has always been one of my favourite bass riffs, but I've never known how to play it properly, now I can learn it.

[@GregsBassShed]

Rock on Micky! Glad the lesson is useful.

[@bevtaylor5750]

I like that Greg. Your lessons are great!

[@GregsBassShed]

Cheers Bev

[@kennyi8141]

Great lesson. How about a note for note lesson on the classic Need Your Love So Bad and your the man to do it accurately, Greg. Also thanks for pointing out Blues Bass Covers channel, uncomplicated and nice playing.

[@GregsBassShed]

Great suggestion! You're not the first to ask for this so it's high up on the list! Another one of my favourites too! Thanks man!

[@anthonycook4297]

Ya man ! That was really great . Well constructed lesson. Each step was well defined. Thanks🙌🏽

[@GregsBassShed]

Thanks Anthony, glad you liked the lesson.

[@MerlePeters]

Thanks for the lesson Greg. I’d be interested in seeing the Part 2 you talk about at the beginning. Some tricky timing in here. Gotta admit, I relied mostly on the tab and ear to navigate, but the notation is helping decipher the timing of some of those runs. Sent an email with a little more detail.

[@GregsBassShed]

Great Merle, glad you like it. Part 2 is completely different but well worth checking out. Top marks on persisting with the notation. I've answered your email. Cheers

[@chesterburnett3466]

I had previously learned this song on guitar (not Peter Green's awesome solo) from a YT lesson , and it was the same thing that you are teaching in this lesson. Whoopee, I have a leg up. Cheers

[@GregsBassShed]

Excellent Chester, happy to help!

[@5150show]

Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac is the best version #nevaaskip

[@GregsBassShed]

Yep! Some other good versions out there too though.

[@PeteCarlton]

Thanks, Greg - I loved this track when it first came out!

[@GregsBassShed]

Bet that was a good time around then!

[@PeteCarlton]

@@GregsBassShed I saw Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac supported by Chicken Shack in 1969 or 70.

[@mikestrong4946]

Great lesson! So thankful for this that I had to order a tee shirt! Oh Well, and Soul Shine are getting "hard wired" into my repertoire, and I love it. Thanks Again!

[@GregsBassShed]

Rock on Mike! I hope you enjoy the tee shirt - you got a good 'Low End Lover' one! 👍

[@kerryfromaj9032]

This lesson is great!!! I play guitar and learned this song a couple years ago. I started learning bass, 5 string bass about 6 months ago. I’m a bass “picker”learning Motörhead and Ramones. Your fast bass lesson here is great on bass for attack and speed with a pick. I’m going to learn your lesson here and put it on my looper to play guitar over. Then I’ll do another loop track with guitar and practice bass over it. It should really help my Guitar and Bass playing. Thanks

[@GregsBassShed]

So happy that the lesson has helped you out Kerry and good that you can use this bass line to help with your pick work. Have fun with it!

[@brynyowannatkinson2915]

Hi Greg, fabulous lesson, I love this too!! The live video of Peter Green playing this is so funny when Peter nearly bursts out laughing while voicing the lyrics...”and my legs are thin...” Its a great song to chose for an early example of British Blues. Brilliant bass line, but true as you state, to play live it’s a tadge tricky especially with the rhythm and speed, but great to play!! Funny enough, I’ve heard this played a few times with bands on the circuit and everyone, including myself, only play Part 1. Extending part one into a made up part two is a licence for a free time jam throwing in a few licks from part one, seemed to work. Great lesson really enjoyed it, tripped me down memory lane 😁 Hope your gig went well as I’m sure it did👍 Thank you. Keep Groovin Bry

[@GregsBassShed]

Cheers Bryn, I’ve made a KZbin ‘play-through video’ with the original track which I publish tomorrow I think. That was fun! Such good stuff in the Peter Green era. Had a really great string of dates in France thanks, along with some fantastic food and vino of course!

[@MrLesblues]

Thanks very much for this lesson. I have wanted to learn this song for a long time.

[@GregsBassShed]

You're very welcome Les!

[@thechilloutdog5491]

Perfect timing. I just started to learn that one. And the original Black Magic Women. Any plans for a lesson for that too? Or any other old Fleetwood Mac? The Blue Horizon Years were great.

[@GregsBassShed]

Great that the timing was good. I've made a lesson on the Black Magic Woman bass line and I'm about to release my Birth Of British Blues course where I feature more of the Peter Green Fleetwood Mac tunes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6bco6JnqcSpodU

Check out the Tom Petty live version

[@GregsBassShed]

I like it! The Deep Purple version is also good.
