Playing The 8 Bar Blues: “Key To The Highway”
Hey there, bass players!
Let’s diversify our blues knowledge and explore the 8-bar blues. It shares certain traits with the 12-bar Blues, but the form is quite different.
This lesson focuses on one of the most popular eight-bar blues tunes, “Key To The Highway.” It features a shuffle feel, much like the version from Derek & The Dominos.
Enjoy, and keep it groovy!
