Gil Scott-Heron - Whitey On the Moon (Official Audio) bass backing track
A quieter page for one job: get you to the bass version of the song and out of the way.
About this version
If you are here for the bass part, that is probably all you need to know. Open the track, stay with the line, and get a few clean repetitions in.
Useful for
learning notes and movement
Useful for
checking where the line really sits
Useful for
short practice loops before a full run
A simple way in
A version for learning the line, checking the pocket, and playing along without the rest of the mix getting in your way.
Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.
Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.

Cause whitey's on the moon? Well I was already giving him fifty a week With whitey on the moon Taxes taking my whole damn check Junkies making me a nervous wreck The price of food is going up And as if all that shit wasn't enough: A rat done bit my sister Nell With whitey on the moon Her face and arm began to swell And whitey's on the moon Was all that money I made last year For whitey on the moon? How come I ain't got no money here? Hmm! Whitey's on the moon Y'know I just 'bout had my fill Of whitey on the moon I think I'll send these doctor bills Airmail special To whitey on the moon
