I’d Rather Go Blind – Etta James (bass)
About the song
I’d Rather Go Blind was written by Ellington Jordan and Billy Foster and recorded by Etta James in 1967. It first came out as the other side of her single Tell Mama, but it became one of the most loved soul ballads ever. The British band Chicken Shack had a hit with it in 1969. Slow and full of pain, so play the bass with a lot of feeling.
Grab your bass and play along.
Sidenote:
I try to find recognizable easy to play songs for Bass on Rocksmith 2014. I don’t do extra practice for recording, so there will be mistakes. I changed the setup so the G string (orange) is on top and the E string is at the bottom, because I played TABS for guitar before. All songs are in the key of E standard. I like to thank all the creators of the custom DLC’s.
