Actually, he plays it right until the 30-second mark, seen in the video below.
To note, if you do what’s seen in the video below in your country band, you will get dirty looks, both from the band and the line dancers. 🙂

My kind of Troll…
funky cowboy
Pretty bitchen!!!
Nice tone. He obviously knows how to play traditional country but then decided to have some fun with it. What a bass player does off stage when no one is around should not be an issue.
In this case, “doing it wrong” is much, much, better!
I dont get it??
But im a guitar player
I did that on a country gig I was toldi play better than a popcorn Fot….I love country folk
I learned country bass the hard way – By being called out by an engineer in a session!
60’s, 70’s, and some 80’s Nashville bass playing had rules. Here’s a few:
1. In a 1/5 pattern, always play the chord root twice in a row when changing chords. Ex: 1/5 1/5 1/5 1/1 4/1 4/1 4/1 4/4 5/2 5/2 5/2 5/5 1/5 1/5 etc…
2. Use walk ups from 1 to 4 Ex: 1/4 11/23 4/1. Walk down to the 5 Ex: 1/5 11/76 5/2. Use walks sparingly! Turn arounds, leading into chorus or bridge. Don’t walk up 1 to 5 Ex: 1/5 13/4#4 5/2…
The reason for these “rules” is simple. When you’re playing with a room full of musicians on a session, the acoustic player, tic tac bass, and piano often play the same bass patterns. If you don’t play together, the low end gets muddied and it sounds like a squadron of bombers with the frequencies beating against each other.
All that said, rules are made to be broken!
Exactly! Took the words right out of my mouth!
What model Warwick acoustic bass is that? It sounds great man!
Alien. by Warwick. They are Sweeeet!
He seems like the guy you would send to the barn to kill a chicken for dinner!
Andy is a trip! Always fun to listen to.
Andy is a great player and a good man. He can play in any style, funky country, why not?
As always, Andy has a great sense of humor…and the point is very clear :))
rock on dude
Maybe not traditional country…..but has anybody heard “That Was a Cold One”? About as funk-country as you can get! TIme and place for everything.
This is a hoot! Rock on, country on…whatever you can play…play it , man.
That would spice up a bluegrass camp pickin,i can here my daddy now,, but hell aint music fun…..
