bassplaying.com where bass guitar takes center stage

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.

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.
