		One of my homies is trying to tell me they sold that bass line to Paul Shaffer, I aint trying to belive this, however have any of you guys ever heard the original mix of that cut.
		As far as easy single key bass lines for beginners, how about "Another one bites the dust" Queen, or another easy jam is "Get down on it" by Kool and the Gang.
		This is from the Impulse album titled "Coltrane," and the bass line is a classic example of "Less-is-More." Plus, Garrison takes one of his very few solos - not technically flashy, but very melodic - one that I can listen to over and over again.
