Octaves and fifths

[@cornelldavis1962]

It was very helpful for me.

[@HillBassplayer]

One of the BEST Bass instructors you can find💯💯💯👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@JermaineMorganBass]

I appreciate that!

[@JCBassCovers]

I haven't played gospel music in a church for about 13 years and switched mostly to metal bass, but I still find your videos so helpful.

[@syncron_za]

Great, now I have to learn Sharay Reed's joy to the world lick. Amazing video❤

[@FunkadelicPancho]

I use that lick probably too much.

[@kevingray7360]

Hey Germaine! We have the same TC Rh450/RS210/RS212 stack! Praise on!

[@JermaineMorganBass]

Best bass lesson I have watched💥

[@joaniepeters2565]

That’s one thing I naturally started doing after a while, using octaves and fifths to drive and develop bass lines. And recently I started mapping out my bass lines, and it’s like a template.. I won’t play the licks or “feels” the same exact way probably 80 percent of the time live because I’ve noticed it depends on what the drummer is doing and the other instruments at that exact moment so I’ll hear that rhythm and may play a totally different lick pattern or transitional phrase than what I was practicing at home with the tracks or the original recording. But it has taken my playing to another level where when I look up at these gigs, I see a good bit of people watching me in the crowd kinda seeing what I’m playing and anticipating what I’m going to play next to glue the parts together or a cool part or lick forwards the end of the song or before/during the climax. And one thing I’ve noticed that really gets the crowd going is when I reharmonize 1 or 2 chords during the climax of the song or the last phrase of the second verse.. also too if I play a lick and land on a bass chord on the very last note or if I turn the very last note of the lick into a chord

Hi Brother! Praise God Man!! Wow 👌 the Lord truly blessed you with the gift of teaching I also share that gift in the teaching of His Holy WORD, and I can recognize the gift when I see it. BROTHER. I UNDERSTOOD everything cleanly. Thank you!! God Bless you!!

[@JermaineMorganBass]

Wow, 🙏🏽

[@andypayne7019]

Jermaine thank you so much for this. I’m 50 and have played bass for 35 something years But I never learned much more than sticking to the root note. I just picked up the bass, because everyone in youth group wanted to play guitar. I said I’d play bass. But this is so helpful to make my bass playing more interesting.

[@BassPotter46]

Thanks Mr. Jermaine! Sometimes cool techniques are so easy.

[@ddrumcorner4682]

Finally, some great practical perspectives on pro bass playing!! this internetsss needs this! Thanks for sharing Jermaine

Thank you Sir. You gave me something to practice with. I felt stagnant.

[@ceverett5972]

This is a great video lesson.

[@JermaineMorganBass]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jabberwock099]

Just what I needed to hear, thank you so much for your excellent tips!

[@gregwheeler3585]

Thanks Jermaine, great video. Really good advice to apply to practice during the week. This will help me to be more intentional with the song basics. Then add flair and feels with octaves/fifths and leads-ins. Can’t wait to dive in to your other material. May God continue to bless your efforts.

[@richardsonkatamasa3779]

Thank you..

[@JermaineMorganBass]

My pleasure

[@tyronelangley9055]

Good info Jermaine

[@bassapace]

This was great. I appreciate you.

[@theluckymanfrom]

Hey Jermaine, thanks for the reminder. Great concept to always stay aware of. The approach to using these tools to the sections of a song are invaluable. There is a lot that can be done with the root and fifth. Appreciate the share.

[@JermaineMorganBass]

Absolutely! My pleasure

[@moorewalterjwm]

Thanks a lot it was helpful to me😊

🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@tbarganier8823]

Wow, you're an excellent teacher. Great ideas simplified & usable. What style & brand of hat are you wearing? I've been looking for that exact type for a while. I'm excited for your lessons. ✌️

[@JermaineMorganBass]

Thanks so much! I’m not sure the brand of hat. It’s trial and error for me

[@tbarganier8823]

Alrighty, I appreciate your kindness in responding. Be well

[@OgagaOkwah.]

Wow! Awesome lesson

[@JermaineMorganBass]

Thanks! 😃

[@juliannewson3833]

Really good thank you. Nice and clear. Just subscribed.

[@JermaineMorganBass]

[@tbarganier8823]

What HAT brand & style is that?

[@Jlewis-hg6mw]

Kango bro 💯

[@ronaldedwards6266]

What gig bags do you use for your Warrior 6-string Bass

[@JermaineMorganBass]

When I had my six ring, Warrior, I used Igig cases. I don’t think they are still selling cases. A few years ago, I changed to reunion blues, gig bags.

[@alfredolewis8817]

Great tips man

[@mickeybassi.9385]

Thank you for this Jermaine… but I have a question how do get more creative cuz I feel like I play the same licks and riffs but I try as much as possible to tweak them and having different variations through modes and pentatonic scales. I think it’s also cuz I use only those two aspects. What’s your advice on this

[@JermaineMorganBass]

Sounds like you’re doing the right things…Like I mentioned in the video, try transcribing more songs and also I have resources that you can check out as well… jermainemorgan.net/riffs-and-licks-library-vol-2/

[@mickeybassi.9385]

Oh ok thank you so much Jermaine 🙏🏽… really do appreciate it

[@mickeybassi.9385]

I’ll check it out the link as well. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@marcocarbone1924]

fire

[@Grumdot]

Great lesson. This is something I will practice until it's second nature. There is a lot of ways to vary it.

[@JermaineMorganBass]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@chrisetatum-cuttinedge]

Hey Jermaine, can you be a minister of music but only play the bass guitar?

[@JermaineMorganBass]

Yes! I am currently…

[@chrisetatum-cuttinedge]

Thank you brother I enjoy your style of teaching I just recently found your channel on KZbin and subscribe I recently re-dedicated my life to the ministry and serving Jesus Christ I used to play bass in my earlier years, but never mastered it only picked on it here in there My church recently lost their bass player🙏🏾 and now we are in search for a new bass player. My name came up,so the choir director reached out to me asking if I could play bass for them Sunday, without thinking about it I said yes and then realized I haven’t play my bass in years😮 He sent me three songs that I have to learn by ear Their is so much going on in this songs and it’s hard for me to login on just the main notes can you help? if you can help me break down the notes on a song that will help me make it through Sunday. Moving forward by Israel Houghton ,Mighty God by Smokie Norful the live version and i’ve got favor by new direction anything that you can do to help would be greatly greatly appreciate it👍🏾

[@Passionhongdanh1955]

can you write tabs for this lesson

[@kultan2000]

Great vid!

[@pyroan8695]

It’s funny cause the octave fifth is probably one of the first pattern I learn when I start a year ago, but this bouncing took me a bit to apply but it’s so groovy and if you put accent on 1/3 with a bit more space it’s swinging now really cool !!

[@codelikealawyer4585]

In terms of rhythmic figure, are you playing one, and, uh?

[@goodbrothachuck]

📝

[@PapawJohnnymusic]

If the guitar is playing 1-4-5 can the bass play 1-3-4-5

[@curtiswilliams3241]

You have one on Lord you are good" ( Isreal H)

[@tatendajosiya7358]

Please sell me that bass

[@McDoinky]

See, this is why Christians get a 1-0 against Jews. We don’t jam at the synagogue😭

[@DavidEngram-r6l]

Yo Bro ! Thanks for the advice on the octaves/fifths . I play lead guitar , Love , love , love learning the BASS !
