Valerie - Mark Ronson/Amy Winehouse

Ok this is a tricky song to describe because there are many verions. Valerie was written by the Zutons but their original version is pretty straight forward rock. Now beware just downloading Amy Winehouse's Valerie, there are many different versions, particularly remixes that substitute whole different basslines, Amy's prefered live version is jazzier (chords sound more minor) and the beat is not a straight R'n'B 4/4.

What Mark Ronson (or his studio player) has given us is the driving bass of his version. This is a sixth fret beat on the A string followed by a quick flourish of  8th fret C and 6th fret on the E string. That's it for most of the song although I think there may be a bridge departure to the 4 fret for a bit of Ab Db Eb but that fill seems to be only early in the song. I'll let you know if I get any more certain, but after a dozen plays I've gotten just a tiny bit sick of Valerie!
