Scott Giambusso: Scotty Giambusso here to help you play some more bass. I am going to work with the Bumble Boogie, some minor vamp that piano players did in the old days. Piano bass lines are very important, and were going to click on about 66. I am going to play the lick for you and then I will explain what I did. The B is going to be on two and four like a high-hat symbol. One, two, three, four Alright, so what I did, and I have used my pinky, this is little tricky. I played the C. I played it in the key of the C minor. So, I played C with my first finger on the A string the third fret of the C, then I played the octave with my third finger. The deal is to reach with my pinky for the minor third and then from there first finger to the third fret F, F#, G which is basically a Blues scale. After I hit the G, I went to the low octave G and back to this G. I moved through Blues Chords. One of you could do that slapping, it kind of works.
