In this bass lesson we go over the classic country bass line, perfect in it's simplicity. I use both a Fender Jazz and Hofner Club for this bass lesson so you can also compare tone when playing these bass lines.

Thanks for the encouragement that it’s ok to just play root and fifth. Love your voice.

You're welcome and thanks!

Country bass is mostly in the hands. Those few notes can be done with so many subtleties of expression, it’s wondrous once you realize it. Great lessons! Thanks!

Yes! I'd like to put together a bluesy, soul, retro sound group one day where I can break the Hofner out.

Hey Butch here, I remember a lot of cover bands playing Family Tradition, always favorite! Good info on the structure, thanks!

Oddly enough, that tune came later for me. Started playing it when we moved down south and the audience liked it.

You're welcome brother. A new bass is a fun thing. There are lots of songs and techniques just waiting to be played on it. Have fun!

Great beginners lesson, learning both the major and minor scales, and root fifth inversions! (well i call them inversions) great job teaching theory in the simplest of songs.. makes it easy to learn and use later while playing gigs

@stevekonbass Год назад

Thanks for watching. Glad you liked the lesson.

Hey Stevek, I've been working on watching your Bass Guitar for Beginners video, a few more minutes to go. It's been VERY helpful to me, and this one as well!! I picked up acoustic / electric long ago and wanted to play in our church group, but they have 3 guitar players already, 2 are pretty good and the third guy is over 70 and played many years 6 days a week as his job. He can really rock it. So I watched a video or two, picked up a used bass and practised playing along to songs at home in my "studio" for 6 or 7 months. Mentioned to one of the music group my intentions, since we had lost our bass player a year or so before. He said come out to practise before the service. I could play fairly basic stuff, the odd step up or down....but I'd like to step up my game. Now I can practise what you have shared and hopefully kick it up a notch in the coming year. So, a heartfelt thanks for your help. Your explanation of things is spot on for my needs, many "aha!" moments. Kudos good sir and you've earned a subscriber, and commenter too.

@stevekonbass Год назад

I love to hear you had that "Aha" moment! That's awesome. Yeah, quite a few players have told me they intend to play in the church. I hope I can help you discover new things.

@boatbuilder1954 8 месяцев назад

Steve, really like your teaching method as it makes so much sense to me and easy to understand. At 76 I just bought my first Bass guitar? I know what took so long? Thanks

@stevekonbass 8 месяцев назад

That's great!! Hope you enjoy it.

@nancydoyle6954 Год назад

Steve, JUst wanting you to know how much fun we are having jamming on Wayfaring Stranger with your help and advice for simple bass lines. Added the F and C but keeping it simple! Such a great song to jam with different tempos. Thank You so much! Always loved this song and you sing it well. Cheers!

@stevekonbass Год назад

That's awesome! I'm gonna email you the notation I did for it.

@nancydoyle6954 Год назад

@@stevekonbass That would be amazing, thank you! If you and your wife ever would like to take a trip to Yellowstone, we have a guest house and would love to jam with you! Seriously!

@stevekonbass Год назад

That sounds like a fun idea. We used to take road trips all the time but 2 little Chihuahuas entered our life and have cramped our style, lol.

@nancydoyle6954 Год назад

@@stevekonbass Well, let us know if you ever head west, our bunkhouse is dog friendly! It even has a guitar (a Recording King Dirty 37) hanging in there to be used on songs like this around the fire pit.

@stevekonbass Год назад

Very tempting Nancy, thanks. I'm sure the views there are somethin' else.

@wiktorbullert6464 Год назад

Wonderful lesson! Loved to play along with you :) How hard is to play bass and sing for you? I find itway harder than rock and blues stuff. What effects are you using on vocals on Wayfering Stranger? Greetings from Poland!

@stevekonbass Год назад

Thanks and "Hello Poland!" For me, playing and singing is pretty easy. But, I've been doing it a long time and repetition helped. I was just using a reverb on my Zoom R16 recorder. Here's a video tutorial on it if you're interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n_44S76OPYQ.html

@kevinmichael9482 Год назад

Good lesson! long felt bass a bit under appreciated in country music (it drives many a classic country song, imo).

Thanks Kevin.

@CatfishLove Месяц назад

Is your heater out? Lol. Do you prefer the J over the P bass, if so, can you explain why?

@stevekonbass Месяц назад

Best time of year, when it's cold. Yes, prefer J over P. Thinner neck and wider variety of tone.

@newenglandtrucker6049 Год назад

I’m not sure if I’m not hearing it but I don’t know if your saying what fret to play?

@stevekonbass Год назад

Root and fifth. So, let's say the song is in A. Play A (the root note) on the fifth fret E string, and the E ( the fifth) on the 7th fret A string. If we used the key of G as example, it would be G (the root) 3rd fret E string, and D (fifth) 5th fret A string. Hope that makes sense.

@newenglandtrucker6049 Год назад

@@stevekonbass Thank you.

@Helene-aka-MLadyX Год назад

How do you 'walk back up' like with what notes please

@stevekonbass Год назад

Well, let's say we're in A major and we're doing the country root to fifth line... A E A E A E A... we can walk up by playing E F# G# A. So the whole line would be A E A E A E A E F# G# A

@Helene-aka-MLadyX Год назад
