Submission Country Bass Transcriptions

[Sonic Edwards]

Hey TB!

I dropped in to share something I've been working on as a passion project:
Bass Transcriptions

I have been doing these for my own use (and my students) for years. I figured now is a good time to share them. For FREE! There's just two at the moment, but I am adding them about once a week. I'm not taking requests at the moment, just doing the ones that interest me, and that's why it's just Country bass players I dig.

Disclaimer: These transcriptions of basslines are provided free of charge for educational purposes.

Whippoorwill River | Free Bass Transcriptions

If there's a better place to share, let me know!

Cheers

Sonic

Here's a fresh one, TB! It was actually pretty tough, due to the amount of compression on the bass track, which reduces the obvious clues of which octave you're hearing:

Song: You're My Better Half
Artist: Keith Urban
Bassist: Jimmie Lee Sloas
Link: You’re My Better Half | Free Bass Transcriptions

Enjoy

It is so hard to find good ("old" or new) country bass transcriptions. Thank you for doing these.

I have no expectation that you do requests, and I am sure you already have a long list of songs you wish to do. But I would look forward to any one of Carrie Underwood's All-American Girl, Dixie Chicks' Sin Wagon, Chely Wright's Single White Female or Kenny Chesney's She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy.

 

[Sonic Edwards]

You're welcome! I am glad that you appreciate them. I have some old Country coming! Hint: Stand by your bass until I finish it.

You know what? I do have quite a list buuuut as I noticed the link in your signature and from there I managed to fill in some gaps in my MOGG file collection.... I feel like I owe you one for that.

Here is the latest transcription for y'all:

Song: Stand By Your Man
Artist: Tammy Wynette
Bassist: Bob Moore

I've always dug Bob Moore upright playing, before I knew who he was and all the stuff he played on!

Daaaaaamn, some of the fills Paul Bushnell pulls out are crazy - spanning all five strings:

From bluesy things...

to chromatic walks!

For anybody that wants to say Country music is all root and fifth and no creativity...
Learn this transcription of the Lady A song, Goodbye Town with Craig Young on bass.

Anybody else love the simplicity of Tim Marks playing on the Taylor Swift stuff?
