Rainy Night In Georgia – Brook Benton (bass)
About the song
Rainy Night in Georgia was written by Tony Joe White, and Brook Benton made it a big hit in 1970. It became one of the great soul ballads, with a slow and lazy feeling. A song made for a rainy evening.
My Notes:
Sure, there is a mistake in the title when the song starts playing… who cares?
A real slow start where the bass is leading. Just push the song forward with that slow bass line.
This song from 1969 is also covered by Ray Charles, Otis Rush, Gil Parris, Little Milton, Dolla, Hearts Of Stone, Randy Crawford, George Benson to name just a few.
Today it’s your turn!
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.
