Mozart on Bass guitar - 40th symphony in G minor

Here's an extract from Mozart's 40th symphony plus some other bass ideas. I used a midi file of Mozart's music to recreate the orchestra with synth sounds. I'll make a tutorial of this as it's a lot of fun to play. Comments and requests welcome.

My favorite thing about this was how you took the song and gave it an updated feel, you really brought this song to life and how emphasized how groovey it could be.....I was jamming pretty hard

[@JanVanderKuylen]

This is what I call a tribute to Mozart. Thanks Jan VdK

[@trance9158]

How about doing Clint Mansell - Lux Arternias (Requiem for a Dream sdtrck) on bass...possible on a 5 stringer?

[@cambridgebasslessons]

I'll have a listen : )

[@user-qo2dq9mo4v]

молодец

[@arturgerbel2749]

can you please make a tutorial on the song the heart will go on from titanic?

[@cambridgebasslessons]

It's a lovely song but do you really think it would work on the bass? The melody is just a variation of an E major scale.
It goes roughly like this
Verse
E E D# E
D# E F# G# F#
E E D# E E B
Chorus
E F# B B A G# F#
G# A G# F# E D# E C# B
E F# B B A G# F#
G# A G# F# E D# E D# E F# G# F# E
Then there is a key change to Ab major (up a 3rd)

[@aslamboy524]

Awesome! What about a backing track?

[@cambridgebasslessons]

+aslamboy524 Here you go th-cam.com/video/mkfRvJOJ7-o/w-d-xo.html

[@jondee442]

Is there anything this guy can't play?

[@nicolavaleri5900]

The background is something of HORRIBLE.....This version It is absolutely THE OPPOSITE the sense that Mozart intended for this ........ this work is eerie and somber as the original score is brilliant and joyful.

[@cambridgebasslessons]

Sorry

[@Raylan394]

que baixo é esse?

[@richardchalmers7609]

Very nice. Bolero?

[@cambridgebasslessons]

Hmmmn maybe? Might be a bit slow but worth looking into : )

[@masterprintersupport2799]

Grinding the bones of Mozart from the grave.

[@maxg2932]

I count for about 1000 views myself

[@cambridgebasslessons]

Thanks Max : )

[@nicolavaleri5900]

All fine.......but the "fake snare drum"...is something of horrible................

[@cambridgebasslessons]

Sorry, drum programming is not my forte

[@JanVanderKuylen]

This is what I call a tribute to Mozart. Thanks Jan VdK
