Ride - Leave Them All Behind (full version bass cover)

This song has always been a favourite of mine, and after seeing the reformed Ride last year for the first time I set about tabbing it. That was the easy part. Learning it all and getting up to speed took a lot longer! So much so that I've seen Ride twice more since.

So here is my version of Steve Queralt's epic bassline from the opening track of the Going Blank Again album. I've tried to capture as many of the variations that I can as heard on the original track - no mean feat. #basslineteardown

It's great to have the band back recording and touring again and I hope to get round to covering one of their newer songs at some point. Perhaps All I Want or Lannoy Point from Weather Diaries.

Here's the original version of LTAB:    • Ride - Leave Them All Behind
