Learn to Play The Bass Fiddle- Bluegrass Bass Fiddle Tabs, Sheet Music, Lessons and Instruction Books

Teach yourself the bluegrass bass , with clear instructions from the best players in bluegrass music. The bass fiddle is known by many different names. Bass fiddle, upright bass, doghouse bass, bass violin, acoustic bass, and so on.

The bass fiddle has no frets so it is a little harder to find the notes compared to a guitar, banjo or mandolin. This is done strictly by feel. Place you hand on the neck and notice where your hand touches the neck. Whether it is at the top or the bottom, when it starts to make the sounds that you want; remember where you are and try to be consistent to that touch. But you can follow the basic outline of the song even if you don't know the song in most cases. With all of the other instruments, you need to know more to get through it. When walking toward the area where the band is playing, the bass fiddle can be heard from a distance long before the other instruments.

A great selection of bass fiddle instruction books (both song books and lesson books) can be found right here at Bluegrass Works.
