GREEN ACRES + THE MUNSTERS tv theme songs

[twisted400]

Where can I find the green acres bass mix?

[amimbari]

@twisted400 you mean tabs or sheet music? If that is what your talking about...good luck, I just listen and play what I hear....

[musickeys8]

"no one else does these songs?" really I have for years played along but on the piano/keyboard for the same reason, tv themes,bubblegum pop,easy sounds,etc...anyhow good idea to show off the skills to be versatile.

[amimbari]

I meant no bassplayersdo these things on youtube as a mass done jingle-jams...

so I found a little niche for popular world-wide jams everyone knows but never does.

in a section of my list theres a lot of tv and cartoon themes redone for the youtubers

[musickeys8]

yeah ok I get it, but weren't these theme songs originally recorded with a studio orchestra with a String Bass not electric?

Ha! I'd like to see you play a string bass.

[amimbari]

studio orchestra yes, but they were done in the 60's and may have used an electric, but an upright bass was probably it.

[nickdecarlo76]

@amimbari It was originally an upright bass...very few shows in the 60's used electric bass. It wouldn't be until the 70's when electric bass took over completely...

[tbirdwagonman]

Basslines are basslines and the folks originally playing this didn't play PLAIN stuff, they made it FUN.

[CardsOfFate]

Hey boss, very cool. I just made a joke to my band about doing a rockabilly Green Acres theme in a set sometime. I play upright, by the way.

[amimbari]

thanks man, I did a whole bunch of TV and cartoon theme songs in the list. look at page 3 and 4 for more. Upright bass is fun, as my neighbor is in the Pittsburgh Symphony, and let's me jam on his, but for me...it's a skinny "traintrack" fretboard that keeps me happy ( and speedmetal )

[Ismlor]

I dig it man - good stuff

[amimbari]

thanks man, a lot of people won't do this type of stuff, so it gives me a thrill to do it for people.

and the lack of competition since nobody does this stuff is AWESOME!!!

[curlingto]

OK, this is so interesting, since I figgered it out on guitar several years ago, (Green Acres), and most of my "crowd" thought it pointless...but I had a good time with it. It's real music, part of our "real world", and to be able to play this and many more of the Tunes out there shows our ability...and ingenuity...

[amimbari]

this and all the other cartoon and tv themes were done when I actually WAS looking for "different" stuff, and I'll guarantee you noone else does this shit....Most will say they are stupid/pointless, but to me it is a bassline and compared to some of the shitmusic out here now a days, these songs at least have a good bassline in them even though they are 30-40 years old..

[curlingto]

I just came across your stuff...Damn, you're quite good at playin' that Bass...I play guitar and have sometimes tried to work out such things as Munsters, etc.,

[amimbari]

I'm more into metal, but as a musician.....I'll play anything ( especially this kind of stuff that no one else will do ) I have about 20 of these TV and cartoon themes spread out in the list .

[curlingto]

Yeah, I see you're the guy who plays Lefty and Upside Down Bass.....I commend you on your talent, and choice of material...there is so much out there to play, the world of music is very diverse, and it is good to "get away" from the commonnly-played stuff and try a few things that we as a people take for granted....such as TV theme songs!!!...

[KarateDude97]

sweet..great sound to green acres!!!!

[amimbari]

thanks, someone has to do some t.v. show themes around here ...lol

[stewpidbastard]

despite "what type of" songs your doing here, the tone sounds great out of that bass.

[madmanpotter]

cool
