How To Play Tears of A Clown – for beginners
Add to favorites Hey
Here’s another tune for Beginners to learn how to play. IT’s Bob Babbitt’s bass line to Tears of A Clown by Smokey Robinson. There are basically two parts to the tune, the verse and the pre-chorus/chorus. And these parts then repeat.
So watch the video – make notes if you have to and learn this great tune. (One note – this song is in the key of Db, and has a C FLAT in the lines – this is the same note as B, and correct musical theory is to call the note C Flat…)
Here’s the video…
