It’s no secret that I wanna be like Dave in Texas. One of the ways I can emulate him is by learning how to play Bass Guitar.
Here’s what I’ve been working on lately. It’s Tom Bornemann’s Bass cover of Black Velvet.
Black Velvet was originally recorded in the key of Eb.
The lowest note on a 4-string Bass is E so how the heck can you play in Eb without re-tuning? (it’s hard)
Thankfully Tom changed the key to E instead of the original key of Eb. Bless you, Tom.
Fun Factoid: Here are a few popular songs in the Dreaded Eb key that have absolutely nothing in common but the Key signature, except two of them are by Don Henley.
Brooks & Dunn My Maria
Carrie Underwood Good Girl
Don Henley Boys of Summer
Don Henley End of the Innocence
Eddie Money Take Me Home Tonight
Evanescence Lithium
Jimi Hendrix All Along the Watchtower
Josh Turner Would You Go with Me
Kool & the Gang Celebration
Metallica Turn The Page
Stevie Wonder Superstition
The McCoys Hang On Sloopy
Jason Aldean She’s Country ~ This song is done in Eb drop Db. Why, Jason, WHY?
Well, that’s my story… How are things in Your town?

I think it needs a few more “Good Gawd”s and acrobatic splits with windmilling arms.
High-water pants, socks with sandals, I think the bass guitarist is on the spectrum.
