A Bicycle Built For Two - Swing Bass/Oom Pah

The following is an attempt to play 'The Bicycle Built For Two' (also known as 'Daisy, Daisy') using the Swing Bass (also known as 'Oom pah') style.

Like Silent Night, this song is also on Waltz rhythm (3/4) and is a slow song. The slowness of the Waltz song is what makes them beautiful. The basic oom-pah pattern for 3/4 songs is 'oom-pah-pah' where 'oom' is where we strike the bass note (or notes in case of octaves) and 'pah' is where we strike the chord notes.

To know more about the song, visit the page 'The Bicycle Built For Two' and to know more about the Swing Bass technique, visit the Technique page.
