Advanced Bass: Increasing Technical Development

[@SoftPourKorn]

This guy just amazed me. Hes so precise and linguistic. He says exactly what he meams to say and delivers one of the best lessons ive seen on youtube yet. Love the sheet music

[@jermainewalden]

10:24 to hear the exersice up to speed... you're welcome

[@ocean457]

What a solid eloquent teacher. Looking forward for more of your stuff. Skype lessons also seems like a great idea. Thank you

[@Ilovejojosbizzar]

this video is PERFECT for me in my current stage of playing, i have felt like ive been going nowhere for a while and i bet this will help alot, thank you!!!!!!!

[@paper5193]

im 2 minutes in and im already impressed by how much sense this man makes.

[@stone9.098]

Hats off to this instructor, Mr. Joe Hubbard. Excellence!

[@Guitargurrrl]

wow. Encountering this 5 years ago would have been a help. Glad to have found it today.

[@porteous42]

This is a realy great excersize, especially they way you shift your hand up and down in half steps for each chord. Very good to learn this withoiut looking at your fretting hand

[@peterstone5375]

That s really interesting, I use the sequence to different chords and different progressions and also with substitutions. I arrange sometimes the sequence to finish on interesting notes/color. It sounds really cool, also to play out it gives idea. And I create my own sequences. It s an amazing way to create ur vocabulary. Thank u so much Joe.

[@inertiagroup86]

Well. That was challenging, even with the sheet music If anyone needs me, I'll be in the shed.

[@ajadrew]

This is superb.... And now to start the sequence on Db,D & Eb... The neck becomes so much more lucid..;-))

[@oleksandrnovakov4295]

Thank you, Joe, for the primely exercise pattern and approach

[@kweitsuabraham6021]

This guy is a great tutor Am loving the lesson👍

[@jeremyshermanPhD]

Joe, great lesson, and I could use a little more about how you would apply it. You did me a great service by talking in the middle about what not to practice. The inbox is always full and prioritizing is hard. But the impression you gave was that we shouldn't work on stuff we aren't also applying when playing. So please walk us through how this exercise applies, say in improvising. Thanks.

[@thestonecutters6177]

I was thinking the same thing... How many tunes are you playing that have maj7#11 chords moving chromatically? Find some changes for an actual tune and play over em, jeez

[@Wheelly1]

Recently I saw a video from Kenny Werner in which he explains one way of soloing over changes. The concept is that with every new measure (and harmony) you start from the note from the appropriate scale that is nearest to the note from previous scale that you used over previous chord. Say if you have II-V-I in C major, and play d-f-a-c over Dm7, then for the G7 start with b. I think this concept of "overflow" of the one scale to another is applied here. But I can be wrong :)

[@Wheelly1]

Also, you can apply this concept to other chords, say, play minor scale in this same fashion.

[@holdencaustic]

Thestonecutters as he explains, it sets you up for passing tones- his credibility as a teacher is very high, he has been doing it for a long time, and he’s a veteran of the Charlie Banacos method- guys like him know exactly what they are doing.

[@txcofly]

Explain why you are using the Lydian scale?

[@bassplumb]

Great exercise, if you are considering a proper study on the bass guitar (no gimmicks) look no further, Joe is one of the best

[@mattchew9767]

i appreciate the friendly smile at the end of each scene lol

[@travislunsford6950]

How is this different than spider walks? What are the chord changes? Major 7ths going up by major 3rds?

[@travislunsford6950]

In other words, how can i put this in a musical context?

[@bassoelettrico]

Great lesson, thank you!

[@bigtree7071]

I will go study bass with Joe.

[@Hexenhammer]

Man, you make my head explode every time that I hear you. You make so much sense, especially with practicing stuff unrelated to music! How much time could we have all saved ourselves, if someone told us that? Rock the fuck on!

[@Shuzies]

Nice, Thank You for something great to work on. Could you do this with a four string bass?

[@Hexenhammer]

Shuzies It's literally the same concept.

[@samcockrell]

Joe thanks for helping me understand this shit I fucking love it I'm a funk player your lesson are top notch👍💯

[@dancanning1697]

[@saier6574]

[@MaeRod]

Amazing video! :D

[@tannerwilliams1599]

Is the 11# the 4#?

[@nwasoul]

yup

[@FIGSANE]

1:50 Big Facts; I actually looked up bass videos for a friend- I play electric guitar. As long as I’ve been playing with my guitar friends I’ve never heard of practicing scale exercises except for in relation to shredding. I guess that’s what I get for researching videos for professionals 😂😂😂

[@chesterhiggs5537]

My first time seeing your video, Joe, great lesson, I just subscribed

[@xlfc]

Except that it sounds great when you play it fast, how do you use that? In what type of chord progression?

[@FIGSANE]

5:00 Preach it man! 🤟🤟🤟

[@jabbapop]

Why does Mr. Hubbard say Sharp 11 and not sharp 4? Why is this note sharp to begin with? Doesn't it upset the purity of that tetrachord's "chord marking?"

[@piquiloar]

snap! thanks for the clear concept of the lesson

[@porkyo123]

I never can understand his technical talk,but I can copy the lesson by ear.

[@onym1]

can u understand that tech talk now ?

[@onym1]

did you find knowledge and use of the excercise just by practicing only by ear ? genuinely curious

[@terrimac7993]

Hi Porky! I am with you on not following techniquely at first time listening. I just zone out but what I do is keep listening until it starts to make sense. You have to know a little theory and if you do, your brain will sort it out.

[@terrimac7993]

This is definitely for more advanced players. So this exercise is based on the lydian scale but you are only playing tetra chords. And you are moving up/down in half steps. Dont understand why you are going from 5th to #11. Why not #4?

[@froggyleggy]

Same thing

[@RH-xs8gz]

This guy is a real pro!

[@jakemf1]

I am sure you know they wind players played scales, arpeggios and many fingering patterns! They did the same thing look at their method books they just did it at such a young age we don't see that anymore!

This would work over some of the changes (the B section) of "Well You Needn't" by Thelonious Monk. (With a little modification) Db7/ /D7/ /Eb7E7/Eb7/D7Db7/C7B7/C7 /

[@theanthonyrw]

What the hell did you just say. I dont think even Billy Shehan understood what your saying.

[@craigdouglas9979]

I am both a bass and horn player. I don't think he has got it right. What he is flogging is just another slight variation on what many others are saying. Horn player practise all sorts of non musical things to develop technique. What he is teaching won't hurt but it is no better than what hundreds of others are flogging. Get copy of Hanon a piano method and learn the bottom lines. Better than this crsp

[@seamanjive]

Horn players, restricted to single notes, outline changes with triads and arpeggios. That's the basis of hard-bop. It's really clever, requires complete command of the instrument and deep knowledge of functional harmony. If that's yer thing...go for it. Or develop enough technique to get out and get jamming and have some fun. It's not supposed to be torture.

[@craigdouglas9979]

@@seamanjive Very common, depending on their background for a horn player to play a B half diminished arpeggio over a G7 chord. So I would disagree with you on that point. A horn player should not feel obliged to establish the chord progression but the last part of your post is bang on. I know someone who has met a number of people who were actually on the same stage as Parker. These guys, in the day thought dorian was a waiter!

[@velvet111music]

I thought watching paint dry was boring . But I was wrong till I saw this,never ever been so bored in my life.

[@robertmudrow8034]

Emphasises that the exercise has direct applications to playing real music, then doesn't demonstrate how with real music.

Irresponsible teaching style. Totally! I followed your instructions to a tee. Instructions not clear. Became a prog metal god bassist. Damnnit!

[@OuttaHere7]

The sax player didn’t have 10 strings on his bass... please gravitate to 4 strings.

[@velvet111music]

99% of bass players have no idea what you are talking about. Myself included. I have been playing bass for 30years, done many albums, done many tours. What you are saying actually takes away from enjoying the bass guitar. The song is in whatever key, as a bass player you find what works. Scales are what they are. Any young bass player will watch this and give up. Know the root note, work around it, make sure it sounds good and involve your own technique. Knowing scales DOES not make you a better player. You learn by playing wrong notes and then not it doing again. The hands on experience of playing live is so much more a learning curve than all the crap you hear about from guys like you. You learn as you grow.

[@onym1]

how do you practice ?

[@velvet111music]

@@onym1 I dont need to do much practice anymore. I just keep my fingers stretched,use all fingers and LISTEN. I find the root note and play runs around it up and down the neck and if it sounds good then thats what you are after. Remember your timing and dont get carried away,some of the best bass work is what you dont hear. Its about subtlety,feel and the groove of the song. It has happened many times someone has asked me to do a C mixylodian run!!!!!. What? Just tell me the notes and how you want it to sound. The runs I play are in scales (obviously) but dont ask me what they are. Dorian,phyrigian etc,,,,no idea! I know the notes to play around a root note but dont ask me what scale I am playing. If you learn scales first you tend to be robotic and stick to them and experimenting takes a back seat. Enjoy making music your way not someone elses way. Good luck and keep rockin. Ps I cant read music either.

[@Donald666]

Upload a video of you playing bass, you are deluded

[@seamanjive]

@@velvet111music I'm a long time pub/club gigging guitar player. I started really pushing my bass chops about a month ago...can believe how quickly I'm developing runs and lines around roots. Playing along to songs I know well has been very instructional. OK, my guitar background helps but I had to be careful not to get too "busy". Develop a groove, know the changes, enjoy the learning experience. This bloke is talking gobble-de-gook.
