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.

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.

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.

That was right around the first time I saw him live. I did not know who he was, but that first experience seeing him wearing long Egyptian garb, barefoot, eyes closed.....as a young bass player then (about 5 years in), it completely changed everything for me. He dropped every jaw in that room. I will never forget that. At first I couldn’t handle playing for a couple of days, and then I couldn’t stop. Oteil remains one of my favorite bassists of all time

Yep, the technical level went up a notch. However, there’s still no cat around who has all parameters on that ‘Jaco level’. I mean, I still haven’t heard compositions of all those technical guys reaching the musical level of ‘Three Views of A Secret’. Also, Jaco’s arranging skills were very high. 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.

Man goes to an island, and when he steps off the boat, he hears loud drumming in the distant hills. As he walks into his hotel, he can still hear the drumming. He asks the concierge, ‘what’s with the drumming?” Concierge says, ‘if drumming stops, very very bad.” Next day, the man had not slept all night, due to the incessant drums that never stopped! As he goes downstairs and jumps into a cab, he asks the taxi driver “so what happens when the drumming stops?” Driver says, “oh very very bad if drumming stops”. ‘Tell me what is so bad?” Taxi driver looks at the man and says…”if drumming stops, then it’s bass solo!”

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 :)

Hi, Scott. I'm a Brazilian English teacher, and a bass player too.I'll try to teach how pronouce "Pipoquinga", that means something like "tiny popcorn", because he was a child when he starts to play the bass. So, you can try to say: Pe-paw-ke-nã (like senõr in spanish). Have you ever seen he playing Jaco pastorius' Teen Town with an orchestra? That's amazing! Cheers from Brazil!

Great video Scott. I know there's no way you can include every amazing finger bass solo (or solo technique), but I really think Tom Kennedy's crazy solo technique should've been included, whereby he incorporates fast 16th chromatic notes along with open strings while moving his hand along the neck, and THEN almost doubling the speed into a triplet feel while still playing that same technique. Especially since a lot of bass players don't even know Tom. Hope you explain that technique in one of your future videos. Thanks and appreciate the great work you and the team are doing for the bass community.

Jens Clarberg I’d disagree with your statement. Her playing is actually musical and to me (opinion) more emotive than simply fast fretting and other intonations. Sure, there’s always some one that can shred in a guitar or bass but is it a fit for that piece or just a solo to show how fast you can play?

A good selection. I love that session with Jaco, Albert Mangelsdorf, and one of the greatest drummers Alphonse Mouzon. Btw, it would be nice if you could do something on the late great Dave Carpenter sometime.

There's more to being a great bassist, than playing fast...the funk...the groove...

hey scott, before even checking the video, the title made me remember when i had a band, we played some nirvana, as you know the bass lines are mostly easy. the guitar guy asked us to try love buzz, i said ok, i will learn it... basically nirvana one can learn in one sit, i thought love buzz would be the same. for my great surprise it has a hell of an amazing bass solo in the end! it took me a quite time to achieve it and it cracks! after learning it, i started giving more attention and respect to Chris novoselic as bassist.

Great video, how about Colin Hodgkinson of Back Door, or Stu Hamm, I saw Back Door in the ICA on the Mall in the early seventies, and this convinced me it's ok for a bassist to solo. Colin is a Lefty and I'm right handed, so working out what he was playing was, shall we say, challenging. He also had what I can only assume was a custom twin neck bass, one fretted, the other fretless.

You know one thing I respect about Scott is that he doesn't seem to be interested in taking endorsement deals from just one bass or gear maker. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it's always nice hearing him play all sorts of different basses here and there
