Hello GMC!
- In today's lesson you are going to learn the song "Midnight Special". It's the traditional folk song that originated among prisoners in the American South.
- There are many covers of this song, possibly the most famous one is by "Creedence Clearwater Revival". I have made an original bass arangement of the song for 2 bass guitar. One playing walking bass style of rhythm track and other playing the famous mellody of the song on top!
- VIDEOS 2-13 will be about the "rhythm" part of this song.
- VIDEOS 14-25 will show you how to play the solo part.
So if you want just the solo or rhythm part to learn you can skip the other one. But I recommend you learning both parts..-Key: F major
-Tempo: 155 bpm
-Time signature: 4/4
-Tuning: standard
-Difficulty: intermediate
Equipment I used for getting this sound was: Am Fender Jazz Bass deluxe, equal mix of both pickups with added bass and middle on onboard preamp - then going to the nemesis (eden) amp with a 1x15" and flat eq there.
Feel free to ask me any questions in the lesson's feedback and in my instructor board at the forum.
Enjoy and I hope you'll have a lot of fun practising this lesson!
