Etude No.1 is a piece written for the solo 6-string electric bass. It is a study based on a technique that I refer to as right hand fretting, a tapping technique that requires the right hand to fret a pitch with one finger while plucking or strumming it with another on the same hand. Here is a video link of me performing it: https://youtu.be/QyXLcvWwo8w For private lessons on Skype, email me at joshcohen@themusicofjoshcohen.com YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/user/themusicofjoshcohen FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/themusicofjoshcohen WEBSITE: http://www.themusicofjoshcohen.com TUMBLR: http://themusicofjoshcohen.tumblr.com/.

Bass Guitar - Level 5 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.923665

By Elvis Presley. By George David Weiss, Hugo Peretti, and Luigi Creatore. Arranged by Josh Cohen. Rock. Score. 8 pages. Josh Cohen #5982139. Published by Josh Cohen (A0.923665).

Arrangement of the classic Can't Help Falling in Love for solo six-string electric bass.

The arrangement uses advanced tapping and percussive techniques that create the sound of a small ensemble all on an atypical instrument for polyphonic performance, the electric bass. This would be a great choice of repertoire for a college level bass recital or for professional or serious hobbyists looking to expand their technical abilities. To hear what this arrangement sounds like and to see me perform it, click the YouTube link below. 

About the arranger:

Josh Cohen is a multi-award winning six-string bassist, composer, session musician, and music educator (1st place winner of the NAMM 2020 PJB Solo Bass Competition, 2018 Madison Magazine Honoree for Innovation in the Arts, 2015 No Treble's Number 1 Bass Video of the year), who travels frequently throughout North America to perform and teach clinics/workshops including; Bass Boot Camp 2016 and 2019, Gruv Gear’s Clinic Series at Steve’s Music Toronto, Bass Break Live 2017 and 2020, the 2019 Waupaca Bach Festival, Solo Bass Night VI and VII and more.

Josh’s solo six-string electric bass performances, which can be heard on his debut 2014 album Out of the Bassment,  use extended techniques to create the sound of an entire band with only one instrument, and without the aid of loop pedals. When listeners hear Josh playing for the first time, they are often surprised to find out that everything they are hearing is being created by one person in real-time.
