Western Bass VI medley 2

This medley is all Country/Western with no surf, which displeases me although I didn't think the surf tunes fit my arrangement. I also left in my squeaks and mistakes because we all make them and there's no shame in that. I will practice the next one more to of course produce as few as possible bunk notes but I also like being surprised when I listen to music.
Thank you everyone for being so supportive of the first BassVI medley video. It's my favorite instrument and I don't practice it enough.

This is great! Instant sub! I love the hybrid picking bass + melody.

@@FizzyP thank you so much!! I really like doing Bass VI videos, this is encouraging me to make more 🤘

Walk the line is so amazing. Rhythm guitar, Lead guitar and Bass all in one

[@abetreblebass]

Thank you, and that’s what attracts me to this style. Guitar can do it all, and certainly the Bass VI is no different!

[@VonStromberg]

Brilliant - love it squeaks and all!

[@abetreblebass]

@@VonStromberg thank you! Leave the squeaks in! Honestly, I never learn these medleys perfectly. I get them to where they work enough and then I release them to the fate of TH-cam. So glad you enjoyed it! 🤘

Love anything on a Bass VI that isn't modern metal or The Cure covers! Have mine coming in the mail this week and I'm def gonna sit down and try a few of these. Nice playing!

[@abetreblebass]

Thank you so much, I’m really into the instrument and it’s true that it can do so much more than what is currently trendy. I recommend trying anything too, capos really work well with these if you want to keep your open strings going!

This is awesome. I am going to sit down and figure these out. Big ups for playing Buck Owens and Frankie Lane.

[@abetreblebass]

Right on man thank you I’m honored! If you need clarity on anything I did in there just ask and I’ll explain!

[@richtudor8547]

@@abetreblebass I haven’t tried picking this out yet, but how do you manage the bass line plus melody? I used to play classical guitar, but always knocking out roots and fifths with a pick seems like a different ballgame

[@abetreblebass]

@@richtudor8547 ok so I’ll tell ya, it’s hybrid picking mostly. I pick all the bass notes and the melodies are almost all middle or ring finger. You can strum a melody note with a chord which of course takes care of your bass note too, but sparingly. Both parts get reduced to basics, and the last thing is rhythm is most important so if I can’t make it work rhythmically in a position I’ll find the same chord somewhere else and try to work it there. Helps to practice the bass part separately in the position you’ve decided upon.
