Fooled Around And Fell In Love by Elvin Bishop
This is a great song, and the bass line is incredibly smooth. I first heard it in the
brilliant film Guardians of the Galaxy and I hope you all find it as satisfying as I
have. It might be best to listen to the song a few times to get the rhythm down.
This first bass line is repeated the most throughout. You could actually get away with
playing it over the entire song (apart from the bridge), since the chords are the same
throughout.
