bassplaying.com where bass guitar takes center stage

Ok, BassIAB 2009.2 is here. I wanted this to sound a bit like a Bob Dylan tune and I think it does. I used a chord progression very similar to something BD would have played. To make it more authentic there's two acoustic guitars, one strumming and the other finger picking.

I tried to add some harmonica but none of the harmonica tracks really suited the tune. I tried a fiddle instead and I think it works well. It really has the sort of sad sound you'd expect from some of BDs work. And man can that fiddle player play, really sweet.

Composition, Lyrics, Vocals, Guitar lead and rhythm - A.J. Spinella
Bass - Hazz L
Drums - Steve Gardner

This is not final as we are trying to get some keys added but it is close and I will leave it up this time.

Hi peeps. I finally got a bass line recorded to the latest BassIAB tune. This was a bit tough for me because I've not tried to play much in the way of acoustic folk.

I had to really listen to a bunch of older BD tunes to get a sense of what to play and then I really had to experiment before finding a line that worked for the tune and that I liked.

This is the result. I know I should never quit my day job but I don't think the result is too bad. It seems faithful to the genre.
