That's one hell of a big bass
*CAPS* I AM SO THANKFUL!!!! Thank you so much!
Love this video. I’ve been playing bass/guitar for about 3 years now and a while back, I turned a cello into an upright bass. Been thinking about doing some Johnny Cash covers. This seems like the perfect song to cover with my converted upright. Awesome tutorial! Keep it up!
Thanks so much for sharing. I find that the more I know about music, the more difficult playing music becomes. When I was 14 years old, I knew nothing and it was very easy learning almost any tune on any intrument. I was not a great musician at that age, but good enough to get paid. I think that if one learns to play this tune by ear, as I remember doing playing bass, you just copy what you hear on the record. I remember thinking not to count out measures but merely beats and let the lead line or melody be the guide. This takes several listens and playing along with the recording and there your are!
Great tutorial! Thanks a bunch!
Very nice, helps a lot! 🙂
Really glad to hear it! Keep rockin’ ♥️🎵
Great tutorial awesome upright double bass!
Thanks!
Excellent video. Love how everything is broken down and explained. Just need to get my clumsy hands to work properly.
Thanks! Just keep it up, it comes in time. I remember the days of wanting to throw it out of the window 🤣
Absolutely that what I was looking for so long on TH-cam. Thanks a lot from germany
Super lesson - yes tricky timing!🥰🎸🎼
Great video, I learned a lot. Very well done!
Thanks Bamboozle. This is about where my learning is though my bowing has been keeping the neighborhood cats away.
Glad it’s helpful! I do remember the days of my daughter trying to bow a violin, not my favourite years 🤣 good luck with it!
Superb. Thanks 👍
Great lesson. I've learned much more harmonically involved Jazz songs by ear with relative ease but this song, this song, which is great, gave me a headache! I can finally ditch the Paracetamol, thanks to you!
Glad it’s helped! ♥️ thanks for letting me know!
Great tutorial! You are amazing😎✌🏼
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Fantástic Serena.... U r so didáctic!!! Love your classes!! Cheers from Argentina
Thank you ♥️
Excellent tutorial, I liked it a lot.
Expect a full cover by me on the next days 😁
Awesome! Drop me a tag, would be great to see.
I just recently heard an interview with Johnny Cash's bassist from the original trio who said Johnny was not a great guitarist in the beginning. He had a funky rhythm approach. He also said none of them were that great of players out the door. I've seen the sheet music to Ring of Fire and the time signatures put me off. Hearing this recent interview - and being in bands myself - I wonder if the original sheet music was 4/4, but what we have now is sheet music not based on the original but Johnny's playing? I've played with guitarists who couldn't keep beat and were always throwing in or taking away beats, and I'd just go along with them. My last band was alt-country and there was one song our rhythm guitarist/singer/songwriter (ie it was his band, and there was me on upright, an electric guitarist and drummer) kept throwing in bars with 5 beats after the verses. We kept it, and while it would mess us up sometimes as we'd forget, it gave things a little pop. Don't know. Just thinking out loud as I revisit this video.
Sorry for the late reply, this somehow slipped through the net and I’m sad it did because you reflect my thoughts on this exactly. The wonderful thing about it is that I think the unusual time signatures, mistake or not, really makes the song unique and is probably a big part of its success. Johnny cash may not have been the best musician in the traditional sense, and it’s quite clear he wasn’t, but the man was a genius storyteller and had a way with music that was uniquely his and very organic ♥️
Thanks for that. I've just started to trying to have a go at a bit of Bluegrass on double bass. Sort of related to Rockabilly and Country. Really good fun stuff to play.
Love bluegrass, really similar playing style. I bet it’s great fun!
Only playing to backing tracks at the moment. But maybe live in the future. We shall see.
Ok first off. AMAZING HAIR! You look great! Secondly. OMG YOU RESPONDED! Thank you so much for this, you totally didn't have to but I am SO HAPPY! AGH! :)
Ah. Thank you ☺️
Thx five Stars from Germany
Thank you ♥️♥️
I have been playing this for the last 6 months completely wrong! I got some work to do!
Well I’m glad it’s helped at least. Maybe I’m wrong 😉 you never know.
Watch a lot of upright channels, but you're one of my faves and I've subscribed. Just gonna say you avoid a pet peeve that turns me off of many videos: your hand positions. I see so many bass guitarists who play upright with the same hand positions as an electric bass. Its not the same. Their right hand is off. They have no clue about right hand muting as their hand comes directly perpendicular to the strings and they use nothing but their fingers. Their left hand is wrapped around the bass, thumb showing, with the fingers far from the fretboard and twisted up at little angles, not holding the famous upright bass left hand double v hand position. This might sound arrogant, but I played electric bass for years. I switched 100% to upright and once I learned proper hand positioning (and it was a pain to relearn) my playing tremendously improved, and I felt more in control of what I was doing. Its a little thing I know.
Thank you ♥️ hand position is so important, so it’s honestly nice you noticed. Keep rockin’ man, so glad you’re enjoying the vids! 🎵
This is a great tutorial. Question on patron membership, can you cancel at anytime and is it easy to cancel?
Hi Kathleen, thank you ☺️ yes, absolutely. It’s just a rolling subscription and you can cancel through their site easily.
I think the timing and quick chord changes just come from the simplicity of guitar. Going between chords with that Johnny Cash/Carter Family strumming style is quite simple.
Bass Note, Down Strum, four times is the four beats and whole pattern. Though from there you can add in more strums to fill in the space and give it a groove. Strumming like that makes the fast chord changes a piece of cake.
I'm just getting started
what is the best bass brand, or just get a good 3/4 plywood, with gut strings?
It’s definitely a personal thing. Dukes make fantastic affordable bases, mines a Strunal Custom, they make great basses too, and some good starter ones and Thomann ones aren’t too bad either.
String wise though, I’d always recommend Rotosounds or Innovation Rockabilly black or reds. Guts struggle to hold their tone, so not ideal if you want to be a little bit musical.
Thank You 😀
What kind of string do u use? Thank you
Rotosound RS400, love them! Also have Innovation Rockabilly blacks, so so great!
Hi Serena... Can u teach how to play Toxic Nighmare? I love that song!!! Thanks sweethart!!!!
Hey, I’ll add it to the list of tutorial videos ☺️
Thanks so much!! Cheers
What size bass is that?
It’s a 3/4, but a little fatter than the standard !
@@BamboozleHQ ohh makes sense
Great lesson but, wouldn’t you need a smaller double bass for you? Perhaps a 1/2?
I started on a 1/2 size and as much as it I’d probably morels more practical, it doesn’t have the fuller sound and I don’t struggle with the 3/4 as I thought I would have. Definitely wouldn’t go back
@@BamboozleHQ ah well still a great video 100%
@@ya_local_band_nerd8859 thanks 😊
Seems like the song interchanges between 4/4 and 7/8, from what I can tell. Pretty progressive for its time. Tells me that June Carter Cash might have had some accidental genius.
Yep, definitely agree with that observation!
Thanks! Could you sing and play?
There’s a tutorial on how to sing and play on my channel somewhere 👍🏻
@@BamboozleHQ I can not find how to sing only how to play. No worries I'll figure it out. Love your videos!
@@billsutherland9193 th-cam.com/video/Y2Zf1tFwLqU/w-d-xo.html
This one! And thank you ☺️♥️
I Serena, are you still teaching yourself guitar?
I haven’t really had time of late, but I do plan to go back to it
@@BamboozleHQ With all the bands I see you popping up with I doubt you have much time at all.
Definitely not ¾ at any point but there's those weird short bars
I’d be interested to see what you think if it’s not 3/4
Thanks for calling out the notes. I’m a bass guitar player.
The most important question - can you slap it?
It’s all about the slap Patrick! 🤣
@@BamboozleHQ So you are a true bass player :) I am just a beginner with a nice e-bass trying to keep up with the Sisters, but I'm totally enthralled with your bass. Just subscribed, I will watch more of your videos. Keep on going!
@patrikknoerr9777 thanks man! Yes, 100% I am. Hope you enjoy the channel! Welcome to the family ♥️
