Hyunmo Kim: “The First Noel” for Solo Bass

Editor’s note: we’re celebrating the holidays this week with some awesome (and sometimes funny) holiday videos. Be sure to check back every day for some holiday cheer, bass-style.

Get your egg nog ready. Arthur Baucour sent in this video of Korean bassist Hyunmo Kim playing a jaw-dropping rendition of “The First Noel.”

As a gift to all of you who want to learn it, Kim posted a transcription of the arrangement so you can wow your friends and family this holiday season.

Happy Holidays from everyone here at No Treble.
