Nice workout around the fretboard 
So, I am potentially the last to give advice on how to play Americana/country, but I think you could fret much of this more “economically”. The classic root-fifth below, you seem to fret often with middle finger and then index finger. Sometimes you use index-index.
Have you seen any footage of this tune where you can see what (or better: how) the bass player is playing that? I bet, they are using only index and not even moving the index finger (much), just applying pressure to different bits of the index finger in order to fret alternately on the A and the E string.
Anyway, just something to consider (in the longterm to avoid fatigue in your fingers). Of course, you can play it any way that suits you, and, clearly, you got this tune down

Heavy, maan! Great tone and playing was excellent, @johnnyb!!
Great playing, @JohnF! I assume country is your thing…?

Doechii - Anxiety
Imagine my surprise when my daughter requested Anxiety on a car journey a few days ago and the song started with dom-d-di-dom-d, dom-d-di-dom-d…!

I truly appreciate receiving feedback like this as I think this is the biggest reason we are sharing our covers on here (to get advice and feedback). I think you’re right and It gives me something to think about on the next one. I found a couple live versions of this song, but they focus on Emmylou 95% of the time and the lead guitarist during the other 5%. Thanks for taking the time to listen to it and for providing advice.
Thanks, Duncan! looks at “songs I want to cover” list and realizes that there is a ton of country on it 
I’m sure I’ll mix in some Springsteen and Neil Young and other stuff along the way.

That is too funny…it took me a few seconds to connect the dots to a song I heard just a few days ago! Well played, Duncan!

Haven’t been in the forum for a few weeks. I have some catching up on covers to watch. Apologize for the delay. I’ve got a few of my own to drop so here they are.

I bought a cheap fretless bass to try out. It sounded average, but I’d has the foresight to order a set of Ernie Ball flatwounds as I didn’t expect a £179 bass to come with good strings. They totally transformed the bass, it is so much fun, and sounds great.
My only negative is the massive moose head that could lose a couple of pounds, but who am I to talk
This was a fun song to cover with it.

This one was a lot of fun to do. The bass line is pretty simple, but as someone that likes to play around with effects, theres a lot going on here. It’s got compression running into a harmonizer to fuzz, then a reverse reverb, then delay, in to a noise gate, then another hall reverb with my Meris reverb at the very end kicking in that spacey noise. I also played this through a wet and dry XLR to get a sort of staggered sound to it (with the delay on the wet side). Played on my Reverend Wattplower MK I.

I’m off work again, so that means more bass playing time! 
And I know how much you’ve missed my Linkin Park covers.
I’d actually recorded this last year, then forgot about it, so re-recorded a new and improved version today.

Sounds great!

Sounds great! As someone who has not started to explore effects at all, that’s impressive that you’ve learned to do all of that and come out with something sounding wild (in a good way) like that. I like that last final note so we get the raw effects at the end.
Get back to work (on more covers, that is)! 
Nice job, Andrea…enjoyed that one! When I used to live in Philadelphia, there was a Live 8 concert outside in front of the art museum and we saw Linkin Park play a few songs and then they played a few more with Jay-Z. That was a wild day as I remember being on my back patio (5 minute walk to the museum steps) waiting to leave and hearing Black Eyes Peas playing “Let’s Get It Started”.

Thank you! It’s all just getting the gear and push buttons / twisting knobs until you figure it out. That last note at the end is that Meris reverb pedal. I only kicked it on for those last 3 / 4 notes. I had the decay set waaaay too high to use through the whole song.

As I said on YT, I have a lot of songs that I’ve practised on and off, but not ‘finished’ as such. I’ll spend hours playing through various songs I am learning, then not touch some of them for months. It actually helps to come back to them sometimes. There are still some I struggle with though lol.
Anyway, it’s fun getting some of these recorded, and using my sick time constructively 
It must have been cool being so close to an outdoor gig like that, good memories.
