  • Light-Foot - Heavy-Bass

    You will probably have to put on bassy-powerful headphones to get the full bass of this song - my laptop speakers don't cut it.

    As you read the lyrics, in the first verse, when he gets to "In a castle dark..." listen to the beautiful, simple (yet very moving) bass walk up in the background. And then at the same place in the verses afterward.

    I'm learning to play this...so smoooooth.



    I listen to this in the car and the bass shakes the windows. True delicate thunder.



    Then there's "Sundown". Excellent lines. Another not-so-hard to play song.






    And finally, how do you like your country?









    If you like playing great, friendly songs with catchy bass parts, try yourself some Gordon Lightfoot.

      That'd be Rick Haynes, Gord's long time bassist who always provided smooth, minimalist and most sweet and appropriate basslines.

      Love his stuff.
