"A Night in Tunisia" Bass Intro Options!

[@CruisingDuck294]

I mainly play metal but found night in Tunisia a few days ago and have been captivated by the bass and drums in the song,

Nice!

Love the edit about the open D string 😉! Thanks for taking the input in consideration 😊!

[@georgianamurray802]

I like the open string shifts. Easier and helps with intonation. Thanks for this. Request intro to Recordeme!

[@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki]

You got it!

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!!

Lol Wow love it

[@BassSouthwest]

[@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki]

Thanks!

I like to play the intro and a section in 6/4 with afro-cuban feel that Dizzy use later on.

[@MrDanilop45]

There was some issue? I loved it in the first edition. This one seems similar to me.

[@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki]

Hi yes - I said that the Real Book line wasn’t correct or associated with Dizzy but I was wrong. I edited it to take that stuff out

[@MrDanilop45]

Now I see, great, you added some of the comments to it. Thanks a lot. It add value to the video too.

[@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki]

@@MrDanilop45 thank you as always!

[@danielandrades5238]

Hey Matt I'm sorry to bother you but I never wrote down the book recomendations you gave me and i see that the original night in tunisia video was deleted. Could you please repeat them😅

[@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki]

Sure it’s was Mike Downes’ The Jazz Bass Line Book, Rufus Reid “The Evolving Bassist”, anything by John Goldsby, Ray Browns Bass Method Book (written by him”, and I forgot too anything by Ed Friedland
