My fellow bassists,

The winner of this month's poll was "arranging songs for solo bass" so here you go!

Most of my videos on YouTube are not me playing totally solo - the vast majority involve drums, six-string short-scale piccolo bass and other instruments.

So I decided to show you how I create my "Hardest Song In The World" arrangements, which are some of my most popular. But let me know if you also want a video on how to create songs for just one bass and nothing else!

If you're not very familiar with recording audio, I'd recommend checking out this collection

And here's the practice video for Billie Jean which also includes full tab and backing track: https://www.patreon.com/posts/82-billie-jean-93463026

I'm sure you'll have some questions on this one so feel free to ask in the comments!

Thanks for coming here and learning with me, have a great day and I'll see you in the next lesson!

Thank you!!!!!! I hope I wasn't too rude by being impatient and asking about this. I really appreciate and respect what you do man. You're the reason I picked up bass in the first place and I want to learn to play like you, arrange and compose like you, and maybe in a few YEARS CHALLENGE YOU TO A BASS BATTLE!!!

I noticed in some arrangements that Charles will play multiple parts simultaneously, such as a bass line along with the melody, usually utilizing tapping. I love those parts.

Helios Oscar

Absolutely phenomenal! These are priceless magic tools. Plz make it a series for your mesmerizing compositions, Shifu.

Z Wu

Great video Charles! I wonder if you recommend practicing with or without a compressor when learning slapping and tapping as a beginner?

Alun Vaughan

Thank you for this and yes, would love to see your approach to arranging for a single instrument too please 🙂

John Patten

What great tips! Thanks!
