Here's how the Country and Country Rock Collection came about:

For as long as I've been running How To Play Bass Dot Com and my weekly magazine First Bass And Beyond (now in its EIGHTH YEAR!) I've had requests for country based material.

Now up until recently I knew very little about country music or country rock or that there was a brand of country called 'new country.'  This genre is not very well known on our side of the pond.

About two years ago I decided that the time was right to rectify this gap in my knowledge base....so I started regularly transcribing 'country' and 'country rock' tunes.  There's also some tunes that you might call "folk" or "folk rock" tunes in this collection - whilst not strictly country, they fit stylistically.

I've now collected these tunes together into a single collection of tutorials.

Although there are 59 tunes here, the collection is not "officially' complete.  That's because there are more tunes that I want to transcribe and teach that fit into this collection.  So there will be at least 10 more songs (and probably more) over the upcoming weeks and months.

And before we look at what songs are covered, just to let you know that each tutorial has PDF, videos and Soundslices.  The majority have bass less backing tracks too - but currently not every song.

As I said earlier, there will be at least 6 more songs added to this collection over the upcoming weeks and months.  When you join you'll get a welcome email which asks if YOU have any preferences - and I've already received a bunch of great suggestions.

If there's a particular song you want you can make the suggestion when you've joined!  (There are no guarantees other than if you DON'T join and make the suggestion it almost certainly won't ever feature!)

No Bonuses have yet been added....but I'm planning to do a short report called The Bass Players Guide To The Nashville Numbers System.  When that's done it will be added to the Collection and you'll be notified via email.

You'll have lifetime access and obviously as the new tutorials go live you'll get notified. If you click the button below it will take you to the Registration Form on the Courses website.  You'll need to 'register' yourself on the site before you can purchase - that's just your email address and you an choose a password.

Oh.  And the price?

It's the same as all the volumes of Working Basslines - just $127. (This price is modified upon launch...see the email that I sent out today!)
