Taught by renowned double bassistÂ
Paul Kowert
Paul Kowert and his colleague on guitar, Jordan Tice, play a country song and examine the intricacies of what makes the bass line support the melody and work as its own unique voice in an ensemble. Paul dives into voice leading strategies like contrary motion, parallel motion, and other ideas such as adding rhythm and texture in order to fill out the harmonies and rhythmical information to take your accompaniment to another level. Please note: Paul tunes his bass E(C)-B-E-A - solo tuning strings on the top with a regular extension-E string on the bottom.
