Great lesson, thanks for doing it! It's a good point that different bass & string combos would require different fingering for the same note! I was using the Chorda regular set, and really feel it hard to use those higher register notes on the E string. Wondering if you've had similar experiences?

Oh yes 100%. I would rarely if ever play that high on a Chorda E. Thanks for the comment and for watching as always!

This was requested to me by a good fellow drummer and I really struggled on understanding what was happening in this song. In a demonstration by a double bassist I saw he was doing the big shift to Eb and I was amazed by his ability to get it right every time. Then I saw the non shifting position by @mrsunnybass and I still love that. I really love how you get so deep with this song and I believe it is not just for this song, you are actually teaching me a method of studying. For this I am really grateful 🙏🏻. Waiting for part 2. ❤

I'm a sax player and can only imagine the difficulty with finding the intune spots on a given string and how long it must take to be able to make the wider intervals. The hack about finding workarounds to simplify those dangerous interviews is brilliant. Sax players do something close by deciding to use the palm keys in certain circumstances. Question, is there any measurable tolerance when landing on the note and hearing an acceptable pitch?

dominant flat 5 ... is there a scale, used by jazzmusicians, that is dominant with a flat 5? All the scales I can think of have a #11 ... Alt has a #4, #5, lydian dom has a #4, 5, Dim half-whole also #4 5 (1-b9-#9-3-#4-5), so what do you mean with dominant flat 5? (always confuses me ...) Especially when playing with older musicians, I see dominant flat 5 chords in their scores, it would mean that I can not play a natural fifth in my walking line, but most of the time the ear says that that is not the case, that I can play the natural fifth, so it should say sharp 11 ... no?

@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki 9 күн бұрын

Hi there - this is a good question! First and most importantly, specifying a chord as formally having a b5 is intended to directly communicate that there is *not* a natural 5th but the flat 5 in the sound. Like you said, however, there’s millions of times where we as bassists can “get away with” playing the natural 5. But I think it helps to know the intention. It’s definitely not supposed to be a #11 and also definitely not supposed to have a natural 5. (Again, “supposed to” is relative, ultimately). As far as a scale with a “real” b5, the altered scale’s 4th degree can be *either* #4 or b5. Same with a whole tone scale. You could also think diminished whole/half. That fifth note could be considered a flat 5. To me, writing “7b5” _instead_ of “7alt” is a way for whoever is notating the music to communicate not only that there’s no natural 5, but most likely they don’t want to hear the b9 or #9 either from the altered scale. But that’s subjective too. And also for me, I used to shy away from that sound but now I really dig it! And I try to play the b5 myself cause I like the sound

Practicing double bass through recording in my studio, definitely working with the same process - feeling good about that, thanks! That ‘no shift’ position is what I would always have been my electric bass go to position, the low notes on my double bass up there on what have been eight fret don’t sound very good, a shift probably worth it to me - in the studio… definitely like the Bb , OK on the I pattern too I think…. S truly warped cat might like the B on top instead of C ;-)

Get creative and drop the e to d (Ron Carter does this lots) and transpose an octave lower - fun on the electric bass! Works well with this tune - which compels me to share an anecdote from the early nineties when Dizzy and I were coincidently simultaneously relieving ourselves backstage - what an honor!!

I 100% agree that all bass players should spend some time playing gut strings, if possible. You learn so much by committing to that vibe and figuring out how to make that work in different contexts. And you get that sound in your ear so your hands will figure out a way to make a similar sound/feel on any decent setup. It expands your tonal color palette in a way that nothing else will. Of course it's a luxury to be able to experiment like that in real life. But I do feel that in music school, bassists should have access to a gut string bass that is set up well, and they should spend at least a semester playing on it.

@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki 25 күн бұрын

Hey there - thanks for the kind words! I have a 7/8 and a 3/4. 4/4 are pretty rare and would only be rarely used with orchestras. The size depends on your own physical size. But the most important thing is that the bass sounds good and is set up well. Unless you’re particularly tall or small, size doesn’t really matter. A good luthier will be able to help you choose, but an even better resource would be a private instructor to help you decide. Good luck and thanks for watching!

back in the 70's I went to the er after a gig because my right hand was not cooperative, I use all 4 fingers sometimes thumb, I stressed my tendons badly, I did relearn to play lightly and let the amp do the work, rather than my hand make the sound I played. Once I did get it my right hand did relax and I was able to be lots more articulate and play faster. We did Johnny B Goode with our own rendition, I played 1/4 notes at 163 bpm, After changing my bottom to a cerwin vega 18": and adopting to it with lighter touch and let the equipment do the work, no more problems with the right hand. So long ago. I stopped playing after the last gig with a recording company and became a machinist, engineer, metal worker, sheet metal fabricator, electric boat engineer, electrician, electrical engineer, and today Aerospace . But I still play my basses almost every day. My Fretless is on fretless bass dot com 000364. The things being discussed is super important. AVOID any Surgery!!

Loved the topic, and will absolutely follow the advices and get the book. But something that I feel that was missing and is critical, is talk with your bass teacher and your luthier. I recently got a double bass on discount from a player who got it from a store, who took it home and just couldn't hack it. When I tested it, it was horrible and unplayable. After changing the cheap strings to some low tension strings, and adjusting the bridge I got really disappointed to the store where the other player got it, as they didn't know anything about double bass, and they didn't told it's original owner that the instrument was not ready for use right out of the store. Anyone playing like it was would not endure more than a month without injury. The amazing guitarist from argentina Ricardo Mollo recently: "I now choose guitars by how much they weight and not so much by how they sound".

Sharing my experience, I noticed that after 30’-40’ of practice I need to wash my hands in super hot water. After a couple of minutes of this treatment, I can play for at least another hour and a half. Unfortunately I can’t play every day so I think it is not possible for me to increase training hours for now.
