Canon in D - Bass Guitar

If you like my music, share it with a friend!
Here I'm playing an arrangement of Pachelbel's "Canon in D" for a trio of piccolo-tuned bass guitars. I merged the majority of the melody into one part for the purpose of the video, and then overdubbed the other two parts separately.
The original arrangement I put together was meant to be played on solo piccolo-tuned bass guitar using a loop pedal, but since all my money right now is going into trivial things like rent, gas, and food, I'll have to wait before I can buy a loop pedal to make that happen.

@NightXemnas I'm tuned Bb Eb Ab Db from low to high, so I'm playing the song in Ab in this arrangement.

@BillW87 Wow.What gauge strings do you have? Do you set your action high to compensate for the tension? That's a ridiculously low tuning! =)

@NightXemnas I'm using piccolo gauge strings, which are very light gauge strings for a bass which allows you to tune your instrument to a wide range of tunings above standard tuning without having to make serious adjustments to the action. The set is 0.020, 0.032, 0.042, and .052 gauge. Most piccolo gauge sets go for around $20 online and last surprisingly long, so they're a pretty cheap investment to open up a whole new range of sound for your instrument.

Are the high notes also from your bass? I would appreciate tabs. Good Job. Thanks

@barneypwnedyou Thanks for watching! I recorded three parts which are all layered in this video, but all three parts are all recorded on bass guitars using piccolo-gauge strings. I unfortunately haven't had time to put together tabs for any of my videos yet but I will try to once things calm down a bit for me (working two jobs and studying for a major standardized test for grad school at the moment).
