It seems the exercise is to serially create simple ideas (motifs) but not develop them. Is that right? Because you intend to release a later video where you will cover the "development" part of motivic development. It seems that is what you are saying, that after resting/listening try to play something contrasting/new/different, as opposed to developing the previous idea. Could you confirm? 🤠

Great video. For some reason, this album is not one of my favs, but loved your info on it! The low number of views might just be that it's early in the new year, lots of folks still traveling perhaps. Would love to hear more of your thoughts on bossa and latin playing when you get a chance!
@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki2 күн бұрын
@ thanks for the message, Don! I’ll have to think about what I can offer that’s worthwhile regarding bossa etc. Like I said in the Armando’s Rumba video, it’s not my specialty, though I’ve been called on to play many times. Is there a specific question or topic you’re curious about?
@donkelly362 күн бұрын
@@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki Nothing specific, but some ideas that come to mind might be: basic bossa rhythms and styles, other latin styles (sambas, etc), any intros/outros that might be song-specific or general, any difference between bass lines on melody vs backing solo choruses.

Thank you for covering Jimmy Garrison! My main inspiration for taking the bass. He’s still overlooked imo… I must admit though that I didn’t realize all the notes he was playing there, brilliant (my favorite piece of the album is Resolution). Also here and in Resolution, I love how he’s varying his lines rhythmically, or breaking his walking then gets back to it (something he does a lot on pieces like Impressions. Btw there’s an incredible unaccompanied bass solo in the middle of Impressions filmed here on YT from 1963). Happy new year !

I'm not a bass player, but I often think of and imitate repetitive bass lines as the start of an idea, move to the drums, find the right tempo, turn on the click, and create a part with the line going on in my head. At 77, I'm going nowhere with it, but it is great fun and satisfying. Thanks for making these inspirational videos.

Love cooking analogies. Here's one I came up with in relation to rhythm... I think of it as making a soup. The veggies that bubble to the top are the explicit rhythms we hear in performance or the transcription thereof. The heavier veggies, poultry, and spices settling to the bottom have a HUGE effect on the flavor--but we don't see them at the surface. Those are the implicit poly rhythms and poly meter--they inform the musician's overall rhythmic concept. I've been thinking about rhythm for the past couple of years as I wait for music pedagogy to change. Rhythm gives all other musical elements context, definition, and excitement--Horace Silver knew that quite well himself. Apologies for the mixed metaphor. Happy food-o-days.

My soloing is at the moment really awkward, I feel always like I don’t have direction nor ideas. So thank you a lot for this approach to it. I’m going to go through this as a beginner student. I am studying a lot on harmony and rhythm, and I’m not owning all the fingerboard yet. But sometimes my Jazz ensemble’s teacher ask for soloing and I am always take by surprise. I find it easier if I have already written down the theme by ear, and sometimes as you said some good idea is there. Otherwise is a continuous pattern of being too late and trying to catch the time or playing out of context ideas or notes. Counterpoint is something that I think will help. Let’s see. I have a question thought: What makes a solo a decent solo? What makes it a good solo? What makes it amazing?

@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki by the way Matt, last two times I played them, guitarists just looked at me and … bass solo arrived, but what are you supposed to play 😅 same concepts but thinking in eighth notes? Thinking in modes? I tried to play melodically but the fact that the bass disappeared left so much space that I felt I should fill too much which isn’t always a good idea for a solo…
@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki21 күн бұрын
@@TheEndtroducing Big, and good, question. I may try to do a video in response to this (I'll think more about it). But in short, the very BROAD ideas I'm discussing above, yes. Like - have a concept and commit to it, and gives time to respond to and listen to band, imply other things, etc. However the execution would have to be compressed (as you suggest with eighth notes) or actually elongated - I don't mean longer notes but rather because there's more with short length notes and rests etc you have to ultimately execute it for "longer" (not clock time). For example you don't want to just put one bar of an ascending line and then jump to call and response and then jump to triplets and then jump to...do you see what I mean? To your last sentence, try to be comfortable with the empty space. I very much prefer when the drums and piano are supporting me and not dropping out. When they are engaged something can happen in that space. Did you see this video of mine? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpy2fIpopK14gpY
