OP Elssa 1000 Post Club Member Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,663 NY	I just joined a new local music meetup group (8 people so far including keyboards, guitar, bass, sax, etc) that plays a wide variety of music including jazz standards, show tunes, pop/rock, etc. The organizer asked for ideas on songs to play, especially ones that don't have too many chord changes, so I thought of "Route 66". Does anyone else here play this one? I like to play it with some kind of walking bass, but need some more ideas on improv, etc. . ROUTE 66 Last edited by Elssa; 12/14/14 03:10 AM.

Route 66 is a blues, blues, and each blues can be converted to the rhythm- and- blues, thus e.g.: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/pa5wx1b6wea43kt/Route_66.mp3

I have no trouble playing boogie-woogie and the blues scales, so I think that'll sound very good with this song, Route 66..
