Guitar chord forum - chordie → My local band and me → Jam session Walking the Dog
I get together with a couple friends mostly once a week and we just have a blast playing some old and new songs with some originals thrown in this is a song from the mid 60's by Rufus Thomas "Walking the Dog" we are adding a large green screen backdrop so I can spice up the videos with some motion backgrounds and such. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJWjivu … e=youtu.be
Russell.... that was really good and wow awesome, that would be so much fun to do that each week with a bunch of mates and jam together. It sounded great 
Now i am going to show my ignorance again .................
1st question, the bass player, his base guitar looked like it had a 5th string?
2nd question, how on earth do you all manage to play and sing and remember all the chords, lyrics without reading them? that must take lots of practice to remember so many songs.
Russell, Another good one. You had me grooving along with you. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jan thank you, yes it is a five string bass he is playing personally I prefer 4 string but adding a lower tone string opens the way for more creative possibilities and making mistakes 
Remembering arrangements and lyrics comes natural after playing professionally for over 50 years in club bands some folks cannot and occasionally I use a chart for a new song I am doing till I commit it to memory thanks for giving a look and commenting

Joe the songs from the 50's, and 60's were not as complicated and fun to play which makes them easier to try ideas out thanks for taking a look and your comments

I left comments for you on the Tube, my friend, but just to let you know, you brought a smile to my face when I heard this one. Not only because I used to play it back in the 60's, but because you captured the "style".
Thanks!
Bill
Bill your comments are always appreciated I was playing clubs in the 60's when songs like these first played on the radio and naturally all the club bands added them to there song lists the "style" is a tight rhythm section which is the backbone of any group rock jazz or whatever I will leave a comment on you tube when I can thanks again for the nice words
