Easy Country Bass: “Jolene” by Dolly Parton
In this lesson, we’ll keep it groovy with a classic country bass line. We’re featuring “Jolene” by Dolly Parton and how this relatively easy bass line still requires us to be aware of many musical concepts: the chord progression, using chord inversions, keeping good time, and having the perfect quarter note feel. Enjoy!
