Joni Mitchell - Coyote (Live at Gordon Lightfoot's Home with Bob Dylan & Roger McGuinn, 1975) bass backing track

A quieter page for one job: get you to the bass version of the song and out of the way.

Joni Mitchell - Coyote (Live at Gordon Lightfoot's Home with Bob Dylan & Roger McGuinn, 1975)

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.

Watch the amazing documentary "Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese" for more of this incredible and rare footage! I had the privilege of seeing "Rolling Thunder" in theaters, and it was an experience. I saw it at the Castro Theater in San Francisco, a historic theater from the 1920s. The sound system was terrible. It had two gigantic speakers in the front that made the sound bounce off every wall. At the same time, though, I couldn't think of a better venue. There were over a thousand people in the room, and you could feel every one of them. Some people yelled out, "Dylan!" enthusiastically, and they roared after each performance. After Joni played this number, the crowd was silent for a few moments, then, to my surprise, gave her the biggest applause I heard during the film (yes, even bigger than "Hard Rain" and "One More Cup of Coffee"). I listened to the studio version when I got home, but in my opinion, this performance is far superior, though it leaves out most of the lyrics. I hope you enjoy this gem as much as I did!
