- This is my bass cover of It's So Easy by Linda Ronstadt. Tabs and notation in the link below. ▶️ Please Subscribe: / @davidmeister_ch
"It's So Easy!" is a rock-and-roll song written by Buddy Holly and Norman Petty. It was originally released as a single in 1958 by the Crickets but failed to chart. It was the final release by the Crickets when Holly was still in the band.
A cover version recorded by Linda Ronstadt was released on September 20, 1977 and was a Top Five hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
The Crickets version was recorded by Holly and the Crickets from June to August 1958 at Norman Petty's studio in Clovis, New Mexico.
Holly lip-synched to recordings of "It's So Easy!" and his song "Heartbeat" on the television program American Bandstand on October 28, 1958.
The Crickets recorded "It's So Easy!" for Brunswick Records, which released it as a 45-rpm single in 1958. It did not chart. The B-side was "Lonesome Tears". Tommy Allsup played the lead guitar parts on both recordings.
Linda Ronstadt recorded "It's So Easy" in 1977 for her album Simple Dreams, produced by Peter Asher. Her recording was released as a single by Asylum Records in the autumn of that year. It hit the Billboard Top Five simultaneously with her recording of "Blue Bayou". It also reached No. 9 in Canada and No. 11 in the United Kingdom. Ronstadt's version was used in the 2005 film Brokeback Mountain.

Many thanks for listening :-)
Hello dear Friend !!!! Encore encore et toujours un sacré travail !!!! BRAVO 🙂😍💪
Magnifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiique chanson qui met tout de suite de super bonne humeur pour commencer en beauté cette journée du 25 mai 2023 😎🌞😎🌞😎
Grazieeeeeeeeee mille David !!!!
Je te souhaite une belle journée ♥
𝗠𝑨𝗨𝗥𝗶𝗭𝗶𝗢 🇮🇹✨🎸
Un grand merci, Maurizio. Une très belle journée à toi aussi :-)
Fantastic, my dear Friend.
Have a wonderful time!
Big thanks, Lara :-)
Hab mir immer noch immer keinen Bass gekauft. Super, dass du mich mit deinen großartigen 👍 Playalongs immer wieder erinnerst! Ich habe bald Urlaub, da gehts mal in den Musicstore 🙂
Das ist aber ein cooles Projekt, Marc. Bin gespannt darauf! Vielen Dank für deinen netten Kommentar :-)
Hast du vielleicht eine Empfehlung für einen Preis-Leistungs-mäßig guten Bass im mittleren oder leicht gehobenen Preissegment? Und rätst du zu den Standard 4 Saiten? Danke!
@@hepti5865 Ich muss zugeben, dass ich kein grosser Gitarren- oder Basskenner bin. Ich habe immer Fender gespielt, da gibt es in deinem Preissegment bestimmt etwas Gutes. Ich würde darauf achten, dass die Saiten ohne viel Kraftaufwand gedrückt werden können. Ja, mir reichen 4 Saiten. Wenn's mal etwas tiefer gehen muss, stimme ich die tiefste Saite auf D. Kommt aber selten vor 🙂
Hello David, j’adore Linda Ronstadt surtout cet album 💿 un grand bravo pour ton travail, big like 👍 Jean-Marc 👏👍👏👍🎵🎸🎵🎸

You're most welcome dear David, it's my pleasure. Why don't you play and sing this song with your ukulele for us?? After my upload tomorrow evening, I will take a break from YT for a while because my eye is not well. I need to rest my eye.

ROCK ON!!!

Cheers, Bman. Rock on, too :-)
Den Song hab ich schon seit Ewigkeiten nicht mehr gehört. Teile des Liedes sind offensichtlich sehr easy zu spielen. Zum Teil sind aber auch ein paar schnelle achtel Noten Wechsel dabei. Danke fürs Teilen. Gruß Peter
Ja, der Song ist nicht wirklich schwierig zu spielen. Wenn man ihn in der Band spielt, muss man darauf achten, dass alle denselben Groove haben. Vielen Dank fürs Anhören und Kommentieren :-)
@@davidmeister_ch 🙂
@@PeterPretorius- 👍
A great classic, I had made a cover too a few years ago as a collab with Ronda , super bass line !
Cool I'll listen to your cover, Philippe! Many thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Great cover David, that bass sounds really good, good song :)
Many thanks, Ray. I love the song, too! It's so much fun to play.
Belle chanson et super ligne de basse. Bravo David ! J'ai un disque de Linda Ronstadt (What's new - 1983) où elle est accompagnée par The Nelson Riddle Orchestra. Elle interprète quelques standards de Gershwin, Irving Berlin & autres.
Passe une belle journée. @+ André 👍
Wow, merci pour le tuyeau de What's New :-) Et merci pour l'écoute. Une très belle journée à toi également, André :-)
Awesome 👍😎💕
Many thanks!

Oui, j'étais bassiste pendant quelque temps dans plusieurs groupes. D'ailleurs, si un jour tu as besoin d'un bassiste pour une collaboration je serais dispo 🙂 Un grand merci pour ta visite et ton commentaire !
