_ How to write a boogie-woogie hit song from Paul McCartney [C] the Beatle now
I was in
Waterstones the other day [N] having a little bit of a read of a book by Paul McCartney with interviews
And he said one of the sure ways to write a hit song is what camera person? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So if you want to write a hit song a hit pop have a catchy lyric well
not just that he talked about what he said one of the the easiest things to have a descending bass line _ and
_ It's something like this for [E] example if you did this he said it once you put in a descending bass line kind of anything
You know you've almost got a hit immediate and the descending bass line is [G] this so for those of you
Who are into songwriting and music and that the descending is this kind of [C] thing you know?
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [E] _
See [A] how the bass line is [Am] descending
_ [Ab] He said once you [C] have that descending bass line that almost [E] anything you write on the top of it [Am] could be hit you know so that It's [Ab] like _ the [C] _ _ _ [E] prudence
You know that song by [Am] the Beatles
Won't [Ab] you come [C] out?
Or you could have you know Procol Harum.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ [Am] _ You [C] know why shade of pale?
_ [F] _ _ _ _ Or it goes back [Ab] to you [D] know Johann Sebastian Bach.

[C] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] the baseline going there
[D] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ So [Abm] again back to the pop [C] songs you know
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [Ab] How many pop songs can [C] you think of or any hits that have that [E] kind of
That [Am] descending bass line [Ab] just the song dear prudence [C] by the Beatles and Suzy and the [E] Banshees comes to my head
I'm sure there's [Am] a few why a shade of pale [Ab] Procol Harum
But if you want [E] to write a boogie woogie hit song using that perhaps you could do something [C] like this you know

so what I want to do in this lesson is encourage you to think about songwriting and use of that baseline
What songs do you know that use that descending baseline and could you possibly [F] write a boogie woogie song [C] using that descending baseline?
Will it [G] be possible?
What do you think camera person?
Because it doesn't really have a boogie woogie beat, but I think you could probably put in some boogie woogie riffs over it
Yeah, I think you probably could you [C] know

_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Am] The descending baseline
_ [Ab] What songs you know that have it have you written any songs yourself, and could we apply it to a [Am] boogie woogie number?
[E] I'm not sure if we could but anyway
