I Got Rhythm - Lesson and Play-Along Performance
In this lesson, jazz bass legend John Goldsby teaches the George Gershwin classic, 'I Got Rhythm'. John walks you through how to form your solos and walking bass lines in the style of bass pioneer Red Mitchell, who recorded this tune with the Hamtpon Hawes Trio in 1955. This was before Red shook up the bass world and switched to playing in 5ths in the late 60s.
With Billy Test on piano and Caroline Boaden on drums, the video features a full performance of the classic tune. We have also provided a play-along track below, so you can practise with the trio.
This video is a preview lesson from John's new course, Team Player: Artistry in the Ensemble.
Please note, in the course, there are full transcriptions, backing tracks with and without the bass, and the bass-only track all available to download.
