  • Fender Players Club Blues Bass
    FENDER PLAYERS CLUB BLUES BASS TAGS & TURNAROUNDS A couple of features that have come into widespread use in playing the blues are "tags" and "turnarounds." TAGS A tag is simply a section, generally four bars, that’s repeated in order to prolong the blues, often to build excitement prior to the ending. In a live situation, tags can sometimes go on practically forever. Singers and instrumentalists alike use tags all the time. A typical performance (live or recorded) will adhere to the following sequence of events: 1. Introduction 2. Melody (played or sung) 3. Solos (generally the longest section, especially if it’s a large band) 4. Repetition of melody 5. Ending As a bass player, you need to be on your toes, watching (and listening!), especially after the reprise of the melody. If there is a tag, it’s going to be just before the ending. Sometimes there’s just no telling how long it will last. You need to be alert here, too, because you never know when the leader or singer will be ready to end the song. (Sometimes you may even wonder if they’ll ever be ready!) Here are a few tags to give you an idea of how they are used. The first four bars in each of the following selections represent the last four bars of a twelve-bar blues, in other words, measures 9-12. The tag section is played an indefinite number of times. See if you can get a friend to play the chords on guitar or keyboard so you can jam along.
