Lonesome Valley

The upper part plays a haunting melody in the neck positions of the double bass.

The lower part is all open strings. While the rhythm is only crotchets, minims and semibreves it requires the player to have an understanding of the rhythmic and harmonic role of this part. Not necessarily beginner material.

From the album of duets Open Doors. The second part always lies on open strings but is not necessarily intended for a complete beginner. May be suitable for an older starter who already plays another instrument.
