This is the BASS PART (in standard notation) of the GUITAR and BASS DUET recording of Cool Cowboy Glen (tribute to Glen Campbell). Â This guitar and bass duet features advanced-intermediate fingerstyle guitar playing, combining country, folk, popular, classical and Spanish styles. The guitar plays most of the melody in the first half, with the Bass playing fills, then bass takes over playing the melody in the second half and the guitar accompanies. Then guitar and bass trade off melody, before returning to guitar melody for the final section. It's got lively parts (like a hoedown), and smooth and beautiful parts.
The GUITAR PART is available separately, in standard notation, and also in TABS-plus-standard notation.
