Members way2fat Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 You'll need to make the lines cool with timing and tone usually, the cardinal rule in country is Don't Step On the Vocal. Here's some old school tunes that sound good with walky jazzy lines (preferably on a on a gut-strung upright) Set the Woods On Fire and Can't Get You Off of My Mind by Hank Williams Right or Wrong by Bob Wills - In fact if you're looking into playing C&W right Bob Wills is THE place to start.

Moderators isaac42 Posted February 14, 2008 Moderators Share Posted February 14, 2008 That's what I've been saying for some time! Me too, but usually they throw in some fiddle or pedal steel to country it up a bit. I didn't hear any of that. Beyond that, new country is pretty much rock with a twang, but this was disco, pure and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members #6 Posted February 14, 2008 Members Share Posted February 14, 2008 thought for sure this was some sort of parody thread... how many country bassists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 1...no,5...no, 1....no, 5....no, 1....no, 5......

Members tylytle Posted February 14, 2008 Members Share Posted February 14, 2008 [quote= Right or Wrong by Bob Wills - In fact if you're looking into playing C&W right Bob Wills is THE place to start. the George Strait version is much easier to take. One of my favorite tunes. Also check out Faster Car by Keith Urban, A lot of the red dirt guys are writing cool bass lines too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles always had a lot of country flavor to them. I always thought of them as country rock, not a rock band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mmb Posted February 14, 2008 Members Share Posted February 14, 2008 Streets Of Bakersfield - Buck Owens [YOUTUBE]NIiatBSVS2U[/YOUTUBE] Most of the country lines I like to play are on remade songs by bands like Cake. Their take of "Excuse Me, I Think I've Got A Heartache" is fun as all get out. I really like the groove you can get into play a good walking line.

Members ezstep Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 Songs I enjoy playing because it breaks up any monotony going on: George Strait: Ace in the Hole, Something Special, Drinking Champagne, The Man In Love With You, I Cross My Heart Willie Nelson: NightLife, StarDust, Angel Flying Too Close Earl Thomas Conley: Holding Her, Loving You Various groups: Fox on the Run, Foggy Mountain Breakdown, Rollin' in My Sweet Baby's Arms, Rocky Top There are lots of others, but what is cool to some might not be cool to others. YMMV. EDIT: These are songs on our playlist. On any given night, you might hear all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
