Hey Joe is one continuios progression that never changes..C G D A E.
I agree, bass players should not be root huggers, I would never hire or work with a bass that played like that (unfortunately many do) and vice versa, guitar players should utulize voice leading and not limit themselves to open str. voicings and bar chords. Triad shapes are actually much easier to play and sound so much better, but unfortunately it requires knowing the notes to all of the strings up and down the fretboard, a task that seems to seperate the mice from the men.
