Pusher Man - Curtis Mayfield
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This bassline is classic and great! It's just a jam song basically...only two parts.
It has a huge instrument section and a bunch of solos. Feel the groove. This isn't
exact bassline all the way through because the original has a bunch of improvisations
to it. These are the lines you can improvise with when you are comfortable. F# Blues
(F#-A-B-C-C#-E- (F#)) He also throws in a G3 every now and then...the 9th.
