Tonight I thought I would get the Hofner out and bust out an old school dance number : Minuet 1 from Bach’s Suite for Violinocello No.1 (BWV 1007)

It took a few goes to record and the yes I fluffed a couple of notes but generally I’m pretty happy with the result. The more you work with a piece like this, the more it reveals itself to you - you can experiment a lot with different phrasings, speeds and timings and when you hit a wrong note it can sound pretty cool. So the version I’m playing now will probably not be the one I’ll be playing next year

Must mention I worked from Heiko Jung’s transcription - I made a couple of minor changes to make the fingering easier but it’s 99% his work…

I wasn’t sure about the tempo - there wasn’t a bpm on the transcription so I researched some minuets on line and decided to favour going a bit slower than in other vids on youtube.

Classical on a Hofner, very creative @Ed
I have totally fallen in love with Horner’s tone and odd charm. I like how different this is on it.

After playing a few Beatles tunes on it it’s hard to remove the Beatles from the tone, which is cool in my opinion too.

Keep up the highbrow work!

Thanking you kindly! I’d totally recommend a Hof or another short scale bass for this kind of work because of all the movement around the fretboard - also I thought it had a nice ‘acoustic’ tone and let’s face it it looks classical

It’s a great little bass - really pleased with it. If I need to have a quick fiddle then I usually reach fir my Hofner

great song and great cover @Vincelo ! I already knew Birds In Row, but I was not aware they are french !

it’s more post-rock/post-metal

yeah, nice job @Ed ! and the tone of the Hofner fits well

Great job, and very cool song.
At the very beginning you think its going to be a total Motorhead song, and then its not, but it is a great turn and you seem to have played it perfectly, but I don’t know it from the original to tell. Does not matter tho, you did a great job.

howard · February 23, 2022, 5:53am

Or even post-punk, yeah.

howard · February 23, 2022, 5:54am

@vincelo that was great, and I really like that song, actually. I’m going to check them out.

howard · February 23, 2022, 5:56am

Yeah, but - post-punk has existed as a term since like 1979. post-rock and post-metal, those are more recent

T_dub · February 23, 2022, 5:57am

That song existed since about 1997 maybe.
But, I think it reigns More true today then even then, with a million versions of Modern Alternative music genre’s when I could never care what it was, only if I like or not.

Vincelo · February 23, 2022, 7:19am

Post-hardcore will be more appropriate actually

Vincelo · February 23, 2022, 7:21am

Yeah, from Laval to be specific
