Funky Bass Groove Breakdown - Lesson With Scott Devine (L#66)

[@ryanscot7445]

I played this lesson during my church sound check, and everyone now thinks I am a pro.... when in reality I really suck. This is the best of Scott's lessons so far IMO. So fun to play.

[@robochikenleg]

+Ryan Scot Been there done that :P

[@mozy40]

+Ryan Scot hahaha i feel you bro. Imma try it this Sunday.

[@ruthlessadmin]

+Ryan Scot Don't be so hard on yourself... If you can even play something like this at all, you're definitely on the right track and can't be all that bad! Learning licks like this is essential to learning overall. It will bridge the gap between the rigid structure of scales/chord tones/technique/etc and fluid, creative improvisation and composition.

[@psyoniksoundz603]

I'm about to do it at our practice Wednesday! Ha!

[@lyssandro]

I understand why you are being so tough on yourself, as it props you forward. But do enjoy these moments when people look at what you do and go wow, you've done quite a lot of work to get there :) cheerS!

[@kingstumble]

As a long time bass player I just want to say I can get something from all of your lessons.They are so....musical(underlined!) Not just the best lessons on youtube.Or the net.These are the best lessons.Period. Thank you so much Scott.

[@hotpocketpizzapop]

Scott, videos like yours, quite literally, improve the quality of the internet by a thousandfold. It drives the value of KZbin through the roof. So many people use the internet for evil, or sloth or whatever, but Scott uses it for the power of education. You're a very special person for sharing your knowledge and your talent and it's safe to say, you're making a difference to many of us. A very heartfelt "Thanks!" from a very grateful person.

[@twportre]

Why do people dislike valuable lessons like this? Its because lessons like this I learned how to slap bass and somehow managed to add a little bass line to it. He takes his hard earned time to show those and they hate on it..

[@SpartacusAudion]

I've played for years and years and I still pick things up from this guy. Even on simple stuff like pentatonic riffs. Scott does the bass playing world a great service. Huge respect for him. Watch and listen. Don't learn from the school of hard knocks.

[@Andy-zd6sz]

I've been playing guitar for 7 years now, and bought a bass about 2 years ago. I was on and off of it for a while but recently I've been playing it more because the peeps I jam with were in dire need of one. I became interested in the percussive qualities of playing slap bass and wanted to incorporate it into my melodies, and maybe also combine those techniques into my guitar playing. After watching countless videos on slap/pop bass exercises, I came across this simple and very fun groove, and it has helped immensely. Thank you much, Scott.

[@toggicreep1g]

by far the best bass lesssons on youtube. iv'e been playing bass non stop for about 6 or 7 years now and you are teaching me more than anything iv'e ever come across

[@Josh3bass]

Anche se un bassista non conoscesse l'inglese, sarebbe impossibile non imparare con te!! Sei un grande insegnante!!! Grazie per la pazienza e la passione che ci metti!!! You are the best!!!!!

[@bassplayer4983]

εισαι κορυφαιος.με πολυ αισθημα, τεχνικη.εισαι πολυ μελετημενος κ καταρτισμενος.προσπαθω να σε μελετησω.

[@TheSchoffbw]

I have to say, this is a gem. You're really breaking down the C Dominant 7 rather than giving bassists a useless riff. The only comment I have is that it would be very helpful to see your right hand but a really good lesson. Thanks.

[@LFOVCF]

I'm having great fun adding this kind of groove to my synth bass playing. If you would have said I'd be listening to bass guitar lessons, before discovering Scott, I'd have replied "Pfft", but Scott's relaxed style of teaching, has me working my way through all his vids, THANKS SCOTT!

[@MANOFGOD0837]

Scott,man I got this lick on lock!!! The way you break it down,this is one funky groove!!! Then I got the whole lick down-pak,was playing alone with the drum groove,then you put those other lick in,at the end of the groove & I said to myself (damn) scott you are a BEAST & A MONSTER,on bass!!! GREAT,GREAT video lesson...

[@desy5224]

He is like the best teacher on here that explain stuff better and goes with you threw stuff step by step !

[@cherylmuradas7711]

First thing I need to say is, man, you are good!! This lesson, totally love it! TY for breaking it down, makes it doable for beginners like myself. Love the "ghost notes." and how you always throw in challenges that are fun to learn, full of flavor, and never boring. Thanks again Scott!

[@andreas1dentrakis]

start bass again after a 6 months pause. i was searching for something nonmetal and this was what i wanted. Scott u are a good teacher thx:)

[@keziahj]

The following is no cheat it is my desire to articulate my respect for what Scott is doing or trying to do: I am a studied bass player, who took a pretty long break due to work. I recently joined SBL and I have to say that it is superb - go for scott, he really knows what (!) and how (!!) to teach - and I can guarantee you this: This is a rare combo!! If you take his advices seriously, you will become a bass player! I am really thankful for what he does.

[@flash001USA]

Thank you for placing this information up on youtube. I am a seasoned night club player and have been so for years but my learning has always been learning by ear and that has not been a bad thing but it really helps when you see someone break down a groove to the point of picking up the "little" things that make a groove sound BIG. I tip my hat to you sir.

[@andrewlynch2167]

I would like to say thanks for the free lessons. I paid for lessons before, and I would gladly pay again. But I am a family man now so they will probably be for my son one day. Thanks

[@valyaostrander1858]

The way that Scott calls out the notes made me realize that my subliminal actually knows theory & notes on the neck, when I didn't think I knew anything. Really, really cool.

[@daolchang]

after finally calibrating and intonating my bass for the first time with your other videos with the bass luthier, this was insanely rewarding

[@bigbadbasss]

by far your the best teacher i have seen. great job

[@ScottyJ0518]

Scott, You have a great ay of simplifying lines. I have been playing 40+ years and I still love your stuff. Thanks Scott s.

[@Ssilver555]

A real teacher...great job!! You have made learning EASY....Thanks..

[@Qwufi]

Scott you are UNIQUE! And Im not even kidding.

[@AphelionSol]

You videos are special. Let me explain you why. Min 7:56 - you dont explain "put you finger on the third fret on A string. NO, you say, put your finger on the root, fifth seventh go back to fifth and root again. This is extraordinary because like this it's easier to learn the groove but also to learn musical notes, theory. Great job my friend. Please post more videos

[@Pawel_Bernat]

Understanding of the music is the key, thanks man, you are really helping me.

[@wreckoningday]

Great lessons. Great teaching and most importantly Great music. Thanks Scott!

[@panique365]

It's funny how every video everybody asks about the gloves. They give you buttery intonation (: Awesome videos, they've helped me improve in so many ways.

[@Fretfeeler]

I could play over this progression all night, love it!!! You can use the blues scale, chromatic runs, and/or the mixolydian mode and I finally understand how you can even use phrygian dominant and diminished 7th arpeggios in this kind of stuff!!! Good stuff.

[@peoosterberg4617]

this is the best bass lessons around, i think. great!

[@LuKe44001]

Finally I have something really cool to play on soundcheck at gigs with my band :D Huge thanks :)

[@koffiie]

Thanks I appreciate the time and effort you put in to your videos and teaching.

[@KerryonBass]

Nothing like waking up to another great lesson by Scott, and definitely something I needed some help with. Thanks so much!

[@theidaemon]

Greet from Thailand, You such a great teacher. Your breakdown, super- multi repeat, slow-mo and explain are very helpful for beginer that still learning, keep going cheer!

[@ccmetulsa2914]

Always great videos from Scott's Bass Lessons, but I particularly enjoyed this one.

[@fedemarto]

Scott, your lessons are awesome!!!!!! Thanks for making me a better bass player every day :) hi from Argentina.

[@grulice]

what you played in the end blew me out of my comfy chair into your supergroove :D keep up the good work, good man!

[@razman3412]

Thank you for all the hardwork you are the best teacher !!! keep up with all the good bass work and may god bless you.

[@rodneyp7316]

This guy is seriously awesome!!

[@mozy40]

You are amazing Scott.. You are a bass god!

[@SAS4Christ]

[@Vupti123]

This is a great groove. Scott gives us a smile and we give him a smile, that is nice. It is fun to learn og praktice new things ... this video gave me a good chance improving my sense of rytmen.

[@nazgulwiz]

the best bass online teacher

[@bubbasaucepot]

Fantastic :-) I find i'm constantly learning which is great! These videos have really helped me re-discover my passion for bass and music! Godsend! There's SOOOO much to learn, but i really appreciate all the tiny, subtle bits that really make your playing stand out. Keep on man!

[@crazyeelboy]

Truly excellent - many thanks for your contribution to bass education!

[@AldoSAndrade]

Very very nice, but quite complicated lesson. The new openning and closing video lessons are pretty good as well! Congrats for you high quality material delivered! Cheers from São Paulo, Brazil.

[@illumanizer]

Hey Scott, to me you're the most sympathetic teacher ever. (Re)started playing the bass after almost 30 years and I'm exited about your tutorials. In my opinion in could be helpful to the your right hand, too. From time to time you play the empty string in between, but don't mention it.That's slightly confusing sometimes. But precious video anyway...

[@docscomputers]

Nice Job, I got it right off the bat, Like the way you break it down into parts, good method for learning songs also. Keep up the good work

[@jeankal8662]

Great stuff Scott, God Bless you man

[@HAThompson]

Scott, I just recently started learning to play. Man you are Awesome!!! Great teacher and bass player. If I could just get a small portion of your playing ability I would be a happy guy. Thanks for the lessons man. You Rock!!!

[@malcolm316nyc]

[@tatasteel8632]

love this lessons mate thanx a bunch

[@ruthlessadmin]

Took me about 30 min to really get it up to speed but what keeps blowing my mind is how funky and complex a lot of bass lines sound compared to how difficult they actually are to play.

[@kontrabasso2006]

hey, great video, I start study bassfunk with your videos, but in my doublebass, great job

[@congabill]

Thank you so much for this, and all of your other help. I agree the grey glove is much easier to follow than the black one, good luck with your Focal Dystonia, wishing you the best. I would love to see an exercise with a Latin beat.

[@chellsison6147]

Sweet funky tunes man ..love it ....

[@SteveSam66]

Scott, You Rock.. Thanks

[@horrorshowbass]

[@Alainboro]

thanks a lot for this vid i pick up this riff pretty fast it was awesome also started grooving on it thanks !

[@PilotsPPGclubUK]

Superb thank you. The grey glove is MUCH better for seeing what your fingers are doing - I'm another that would like to see what your right hand is doing.
