In this clip on bass, I am going to show you how to play a Sam Cook solo called 'You Send Me'. I'm going to break it down. G, F, E minor, C and D. G, F, E minor, C and D. So it will be G again, F sharp, E minor, D, D again. I'm playing all these roots notes because that's what it really is. Especially in all the 50's and 60's music.
