Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home > Alternating Bass Line

In this lesson we will learn the main alternating bass line, starting slowly until you can bring it up to speed. Pay special attention to your tempo and be mindful not to play too fast. Work towards a light touch on the strings with your picking hand and as well with the slide.

Enjoy!
