Billy Bratcher's Honky-Tonk Bass for Beginners - WINTER 08

This is a wonderfully presented video of the highest quality. Billy Bratcheris one of today's rising stars of the country bass, and on this tape he gives you all the important foundations to help get you started playing! He works on waltzes, country ballads, shuffles, Hank Williams style, Rockabilly "slap" bass, walkups and walkdowns, walking basslines, correct holding positions, setting the peg and string height, finding the notes, various sytles and tones for plucking the strings, amplifying the bass, intros and endings, pickup notes, dynamics, staying with the groove and so much more.

This is a beautifully done tape, and has all the material you'd need to get started, all done with a deep respect and reverence for the traditional country styles we love so much. We know you'll enjoy this, the first ever acoustic bass video on Hot Licks!

"Even if you've never held a musical instrument in your hands, Billy Bratcher's friendly, straightforward video presentation should make you feel at ease with an acoustic bass."
