Jam Session Rewind: 207n -- The Sexy Bassline?

Today's Rewind is Jam Session 207n (5:58; see original show notes).  My brother Jon came up with the chord progression, which lent itself to the bassline...which has this nice "sexy" groove to it.  (At least that's what I get from it.  Then again, I can't be entirely objective [or at all], since I was the bass player for this Jam Session.)



The upgraded Chord du Jour recording studio is good to go, so we'll have some new Jam Sessions soon!

Chord du Jour is now beyond chord and du jour. Don't miss out on our multiple blogs per day by subscribing (via RSS) today!
