Keep It Groovy: “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac
Happy New Year, everyone! In this “Keep It Groovy” lesson, we dissect the fantastic melodic bass line to “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac.
Composed by bassist John McVie, this line perfectly outlines the chord progression, adheres to diatonic rules, and provides a nice contrast to the simplicity of the verses. The chorus features a memorable hook that practically begs you to learn it, so please enjoy this lesson and remember to go your own way with your bass studies this year!
