Beginning Jazz Workshop for Bassists /// Scott's Bass Lessons

[@ryangoldner4324]

Using a P bass instead of a Jazz bass for this lesson is a big-swinging-pair move. Cheers to you, and thanks for what you do Scott!

[@vaduzcrew]

Definitely right, Scott. Learning jazz is fundamental. Myles Kennedy of Alterbridge & Chad Szeliga of Breaking Benjamin also started from Jazz, eventhough they play Metal

[@sewind6613]

Starts at 6:37

[@twistt22vods47]

thanks homie

[@johnallred3124]

Ron Carter did a very simple section with root third, root fifth in a version of Autumn Leaves with Jim Hall on their album, Alone Together. Other sections were more complex, obviously. The rendition has stuck with me for over 35 years.

[@RebeyGamingX]

After watching an hour lesson.. I can actually play a walking bass line with root 3rd and root 5th connecting with chromatic notes

[@randtotheboone4897]

[@Felix_Stoner88]

[@xrocklover94]

Amazing lesson!!!!

[@derekcole4493]

When talking about roots, fifths, and thirds.. What do you mean when you say not to repeat yourself?

[@navirecreux]

watching from singapore!

[@joer707]

Hay my brother, I’ve Learned a lot from you. I Always say. If you want to learn how play a instrument. It’s best for you to learn your algorithms first for that instrument 🎸. Then live will be much easier for you to play that instrument. You have to know your ABC’s first then you have to take baby steps and practice every day. In till you start to feel The rhythm of that instrument. Though out your body is the weather today its playin would love that one morning at least e time if n another one another so I thought you do itfrom Brick New Jersey neck name “Chelo” I would love to get a Base from you with your Autograph on a funky jazzy stilled Bass guitar. That will be so cool 😎 Keep up the good work.👍✌️

[@markhyphon]

Great stuff!!

[@tommybrwn318]

Greetings Scott from Atlanta, love your channel, I'm just starting to learn the bass , but the Bass has been a part of my spirit since I was a kid. I'm curious to know if that's you playing the intro jazz riff, if not I'm would love to know, hard core jazz man , Peace and Blessings 🙏 to you!

[@sethowusu345]

Nice one scoott

[@nadlee11]

austin tx watching

[@goranovitsj]

the static chord walking bass , what was the trick?

[@BOnEhEAdD]

What an amazing lesson ^^ shame I discovered it three days late, after two practice sessions worth of digging through various reminders and other SBL debris in my inbox. Sometimes less is more, Scott...

[@sigiriabeysekara8723]

Shame I discovered it 4 YEARS later.. [:-)]

[@rituraj3758]

cool

[@andreacoppage3498]

I feel silly saying i still dont understand what the 7s are and what they mean, even though i can play it...ie what is a c7maj or a g7min?

[@suiheisensongs]

19:40

[@giannibiancocircus]

👍

[@devinebass]

👊🏻

[@Cryptocurrent1]

Does anyone know what kind of bass is being played during the intro?

[@mattwarner2447]

If I had to guess, probably Scott's signature Overwater five string, with the high C string.

[@klauscoelho]

WHERE ARE THE SUBTITLES

[@stevestanley6090]

Do you like Roto Sound Ss rounds ou d strings ?

[@stevestanley6090]

Round wound

[@goranovitsj]

how to play walking bass over 1chord? c Minor? I am in Belgium

[@serenaramirez9563]

just repeat the notes in the chord, i believe. there's plenty of orders you can go inside that scale :)

[@d.l.loonabide9981]

I'm super late to this party.

[@craigbee]

Can someone explain the MJ gloves?

[@raphaelsanjuan2458]

He has a video for it. In short, he has a neural disorder and the gloves help him play.

[@craigbee]

Raphael San Juan wow - cool. Thanks. Will dig out the video.

[@thierrybasstransporter2246]

hi you are very good bass player i want you teach me bass i want to come the best bassist like you

[@noahninetyone]

The P in P bass stands for Perfect 😏

[@rawstarmusic]

I'll put up a statement to disprove. If you are really musical you can play walking bass be ear without knowing what you do. This leads to my suggestion that being really musical will hinder you from learning and is unfortunate for you. If you're NOT musical, you have to learn and this will be beneficial in the long run. Prove me wrong he who dares. (Chet Atkins said about Mark Knopfler "he doesn't know what he hell he's doing but it comes out alright",)

[@drumstudio2000]

Some ideas could be right for individuals, but not in general or for all. There are massive examples of both ways of thinking this, so individual examples dont work on this scenario. I think every person has his own way for achieving results, being musical or getting goals. Generalizing can be dangerous. Peace

[@rawstarmusic]

drumstudio2000 I'm kinda stuck in between. Every time I play well and runs fast over the fretboard I don't know what I'm doing 70% of the time. I know the root and know some notes of course but for the most part, it's pattern and ear. An instant question even worth £10.000 what note am I playing right now, I couldn't answer but the playing goes fine. If I play so a lot, I don't learn anything and Scott wouldn't accept this. I would not get my academy grade. At the moment I'm studying guitarist Eva Vergilova, wondering what the h* is going on in that head?

[@drumstudio2000]

***** you are right my friend, there are these threethings. playing without knowing, playing knowing what you are playing, and knowing but not thinking anymore what you are playing (this last stage is what It seems to be the last goal imao). Miles Davis said "first I play it, then I tell you what it is" ...that level of knowledge comes after a life of trying to know things... but hey, there are the other people, like buddy rich... he never studied...because he didnt need to, course... the important thing is ALWAYS... MUSIC...if music sounds good.. doesnt matters if you know or not know...as you said...every time I make good music, I dont know what Im doing... thats perfectly fine... the case in wich knowing what you are playing is usefull, imao, is for those moments you arnt with the spark or inspired... for that moments of non inspiration, I think all of us, students, are studying. :) Ive heard a similar concept from a great drummer named Bill Bruford too... The best practice you can get is on the bandstand, but in between gigs I feel I have to stay in shape. We dont need to study for those gigs or shows we are super inspired... we study for the bad days... for those days in which we are not inspired... sorry my writting, english is not my first language :) peace

[@josephgomez3562]

Not knowing what you're doing is separate from not being able to name what you're doing. For example someone like django reinhardt being musically "illiterate" is somewhat of a misnomer. He couldn't tell you the names of the notes or what he played over a given 251progression but his ear knows exactly what its doing, he just didn't have the vocabulary to express it. If you have a good ear an some natural affinity for music it doesnt follow that learning theory or educating yourself on musical concepts should be difficult. If anything, it should be easier. Like applying terms to ideas you already understand.

[@jithintj8348]

Your head is brighter than my future

[@LA001-n1s]

anyone noticed the intro sounds like of Ariana Grandi songs? damn!

[@regimiro4888]

I hadn't noticed that but it may be because I don't have an extensive enough knowledge of her music, was there a specific song you thought it sounded like? Would love to check it out.

[@jewel2916]

That is because it is ‘ a few of my favourite things’ from the sound of music’. Ariana had to pay to use it in 7 rings.
