This video is a play-through of Stuart Hamm's signature composition 'Country Music', which can be found on his 1987 album Radio Free Albemuth.
A full transcription of this piece can be found in my new book Stuart Hamm Bass Transcriptions - The Early Years. This book contains 17 songs from Stuart's first three albums, all meticulously transcribed in standard notation and TAB. Each song also has a set of detailed performance notes.
The book is available from Bassline Publishing here: basslinepublishing.com/product/stuart-hamm-bass-transcriptions-the-early-years
And from Amazon here: geni.us/g8Gb0F6
I recorded this piece using my Mayones Viking bass strung with Rotosound strings. Both pickups were used and the tone controls were mostly centred, with a gentle boost to the treble. The bass was recorded via a SansAmp Bass Driver DI, all controls set flat. A small amount of compression was added digitally.
