I love how every bass player takes from other bass players and creates their own style of solos. Solos are an expression of what’s in your heart and what you’re feeling as a musician. It’s an opportunity for you to express through your instrument the joy and love you feel as a musician.

As much as I respect all these technically brilliant ultra fast-playing bassists - nothing comes close to folks like Pino, who can create a solo which stands out simply by its recognisable melody and tasteful phrasing. I could probably learn to play this solo in a day, but I would never be able to come up with something pure like this myself. This is what makes a great solo in my opinion. Michael League played an equally impressive solo last year in Nuremberg. I can listen to the recording of this show over and over again, just for that bass solo.
@davidkron22924 жыл бұрын
Completely agree, I also found the Pino solo best in this video's selection of solos. Pino made me "woooo" just by his groovy licks and choice of notes. The other solos are technically very impressive, but mostly not interesting to listen to. Exceptions for me are Gary Willis and Hadrien Feraud though, because they got the chops, but I know they also do great solos with more melodic approaches. Personally for me the best bass solo is still Victor Wooten's live solo on Dave Matthew Band's #41: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goKzo5VrmJKHpLc It combines groove, melody and technique together and there are only a few bass solos that come close to this for me. Edit: I just remembered since I brought Victor Wooten into the conversation. I heard some clinic a while ago where Victor said some of the most important aspects of solos or music in general is space, meaning the notes you don't play. And as I watch this video more, I notice a lot of these technical solos very much lack space.
@altmaxv4 жыл бұрын
Totally agree with you. I think the best solo (no matter on a bass or guitar) is that continues the main theme of the composition. My favorite bass solo for many years is from Cosmosquad's "Jam for Jason". Anyway thanks to Scott for the video, it has many interesting things to learn and practice.

And not much players had that level of impact like Jaco did. He’s still audible in every (technical or even non-technical) bass player. But then again, there are lots of bass players who have their own thing going, despite of the obvious Jaco influence. There are numerous of great players out there, still so much great music for us to enjoy.

I think I appreciate all kinds of bass solos, both technically complex and also more melodic and soulful. But the ones that touch me emotionally are usually the simpler, more tasteful ones. I'd love to hear your thoughts Scott on something like the one Jaco does in Midwestern Nights Dream by Pat Metheny. A blizzard of notes is for sure impressive and easy to be wowed by, but it's really nice to be able to connect with the music on a deeper level sometimes ... It's the same with drummers - those internet arguments about who the 'best drummer ever' is so often revolve around who's the most technically proficient or who can solo with the most fireworks. But I'll very happily take Vinnie's playing on something relatively simple like Fields of Gold or Seven Days as it's the restraint and tastefulness which come to the fore rather than the display of chops! Just listen to Pino's playing on the Don Henley track New York Minute and you'll see what I mean :)

Especially since a lot of bass players don't even know Tom. Hope you explain that technique in one of your future videos.
