Keep Your Lamp Trimmed > Bassline and Melody

We're re-issuing one of Corey's most popular lessons with re-mastered video, new sheet music and updated loop points. From Corey:

I am not sure who wrote this song, but Blind Willie Johnson and Fred McDowell both have great versions. In this video I introduce the song, bass line and melody. Even though the bass is simple, pay special attention to your rhythm and timing when playing the song. Focus on the bass first and then hum the melody while playing the bass. Learn the melody on the guitar and then combine the two lines. Link me on the site with any questions or comments.
