Song Learning Tips
-----------------------------------------------------
The following are my tips on how to get the most out of learning songs.
* Figure out what key the song is in. Is it major or minor? The majority of country songs are in a major key.
* Take note of the form (Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Solo, Outro, etc)
* Work on memorizing one song part (like the verse) at a time
* Isolate difficult parts of the song and practice them in isolation instead of just running through the whole song over and over. You can loop sections of my videos with looptube.io/ or the Looper for RUclips chrome extension.
* You’re reading tab but what are the letter notes you are playing?
* Experiment with different fingerings (same notes different strings). What I tabbed out works well for me but something else may work better for you.
* What is the chord progression of each part? The chord is usually the first note of the bar but not always. Is the chord major or minor? With a little theory knowledge, other notes in the bar and the key of the song should tell you. But so can your ear!
* What are the Nashville Numbers of each of the song parts? Learning this will give you the ability to transpose the song to a different key and help you memorize the song for the long term.
* Some bars will be slight variations of others (added notes, ghost notes, etc). Use these for ideas on how you might embellish the bass lines but do not try to memorize when and where all these variations occur.
* Make note of any cool lines or bass fills and try to apply them to other songs where they fit.
* If having trouble with a difficult passage, feel free to simplify it. When playing live, so long as you hit the chord changes and play in rhythm, most audiences never know the difference.
* Does the song have a swing or straight feel?
* What’s the time signature? Most are 4/4 but not all. Also, watch out for odd bars thrown in every once in a while like a 2/4 in the middle of a 4/4 song.
* If having trouble with the rhythm, practice with a metronome. Go slowly and count it out.
* Practice the scale that goes with the key of the song in different parts of the fretboard.
* Practice the arpeggios of the chords in the song on different parts of the fingerboard.
* Make the song your own! As long as you stick to the chord changes, feel free to embellish any parts with extra notes and altered rhythms. Most of these songs are/were never played live exactly the same way they are on the record.
Many of these suggestions really benefit from a little knowledge of music theory. Music theory often intimidates people but it shouldn't. It's more simple than you think, and unless you are studying jazz, you don't even need that much of it. In fact, you could learn everything you need to know in a weekend. Plenty of videos on RUclips but I will also recommend a book called Fretboard Theory by Desi Serna.

Classic basslines.
One of my favourites. Beautiful basslines.
love this one
Love this song, & it was a nominee in what I believe to be the most loaded award field of all-time.
The 1980 Grammy for Best Country Song (given out in February of 1981) was won by "On the Road Again", with the other nominees being "I Believe in You", "He Stopped Loving Her Today", "Looking For Love" & "Driving My Life Away".
wow you aren't kidding! Each one of those would probably have won a different year. Oh well, at least we have them!
Great!!
Nice job on a beautiful song. I like the way you mix your songs from easier to harder. I can play on your channel for quite a while. Usually too tired to play any Pink Floyd after playing so many of my favorite country. When you are ready for another Don Williams song, "You're My Best Friend.". Thank you so much for what you are doing.
Thanks, George! I appreciate it. You're My Best Friend is a great song and I'm going to get to it before long.
Your covers are awesome. You've turned me onto country bass in the last few weeks. Keep it up dude!
Mission accomplished! 😀
Fantastic work and a great song!
Thank you, Roger!
That's a pretty cool bass line. Simple, but effective. And leaving out the first of the triplets is also not very common. I really like that you write the tab so that it is easy to play, especially using not one finger per fret, but rather like playing a double bass, as I am trying to reduce my use of one finger per fret. Many thanks for your videos.
I'm glad you like them! I'm not a fan of the one finger per fret system because it's too taxing on my hand without giving me any speed or accuracy benefit. I feel like it makes me think more vertically when I should probably be thinking more horizontally on bass.
Great video, thought the sunburst was your only 4 string bass. Lol This tab is a lot of fun to play.
😄 I actually meant to do the video with my sunburst but forgot I was playing my jazz. Glad you like the video. This is a fun one.
Can you please add little bitty spoon
Do you mean Little Bitty by Alan Jackson?
