Hi Winslow,

Are you aware of any songs that work with just harp & bass besides "Mighty Long Time" or even songs like "Easy" where the guitar plays the bass line. Also any songs that "you feel might work" of would be helpful.

Thanks for your time.

Bass riffs

Any guitar riff that's simple enough might also be a bass line. The "Green Onions" riff used in "Help Me" can also be a one-chord riff as in "On The Road Again."

And Bo Diddley's "I'm a Man" riff is another one.

The left-hand piano riff to Professor Longhair's "Mardi Gras in New Orleans" is another.
