By Booker T. and The MG's. By Booker T. Jones and Steve Cropper. Arranged by Lincoln Goines. This edition: pdf. Blues, R & B. 15 pages. Lincoln Goines #1106152. Published by Lincoln Goines (A0.1532943).
The Booker T. & the MG’s classic 1962 Stax Records instrumental hit, with the Memphis-style I-IV-V shuffle blues line anchoring the bottom in Bass 4.
Steve Cropper’s characteristic choppy guitar comping on the “and” of the fourth beat contributes to the infectious groove, and in this arrangement is layered in “slap” style over the Bass parts.
Performance Tips:
-Dynamics and accents should be exaggerated
-Maximum/minimum volume should match the dynamic range of the human voice-Amplifier/preamp bass frequency attenuation controls should be flat, even rolled back or switched off
-Carefully tuning to a common perfect fifth (eg. G and D, D and A) is critical
