New York State Of Mind – Billy Joel (bass)
About the song
New York State of Mind is from the album Turnstiles (1976) by Billy Joel. He wrote it after he moved back to New York from California. It was never a single, but it became one of his best-loved songs. Jazzy, slow and with a great feel on the bass.
My Notes:
I love to play this song. It got some good vibes in it. When you got the timing correct, and of course the notes, it’s just great to play it on bass.
There are some open strings that I prefer to play on the fifth.
But grab your bass and find out for yourself, don’t forget to enjoy it!
Sidenote:
I try to find recognizable easy to play songs for Bass on Rocksmith 2014. I don’t do extra practice for recording, so there will be mistakes. I changed the setup so the G string (orange) is on top and the E string is at the bottom, because I played TABS for guitar before. All songs are in the key of E standard. I like to thank all the creators of the custom DLC’s.
