Re: [Harp-L] Group Arrangement

One of the guitar players played a bass line, if memory serves me..bass representation is pretty important one way or the other, as it tends to "ground" the music and define the chord changes.


I believe Little Walter recorded most of his songs with no bass, just the Meyers 
brothers on two guitars.

Hello All

Anyone one on this list just use harp, guitar and piano or harp, guitar, drums? 
In both arrangements the bass is not represented. Any hidden pitfalls from your 
prior attempts with either of these configurations?? 

Thanks as always,

Hal in MI
