How to play BASS FILLS… like the gospel guys (with just one lick)

► Grab your FREE PDF here: sbl.link/4cLarR7
If you've ever heard some of the amazing gospel bass players such as Sharay Reed, Justin Raines and Fred Hammond etc...
You'll already know that these guys are seriously amazing.
So, I want to show you a trick that'll help you create bass fills like those guys (and get the 'over the bar line' thing going on)... with just one lick...
Yep - just ONE!
In fact, I'm going to show you how you can get multiple bass fills, by using just one lick.
Oh... and we've also got a VERY special guest in this new video...
He's played with artists such as Alicia Keys, Lenny Kravitz, and many more.
Intrigued?!
I hope so ;)
As always, see you in the shed...
Scott :)

Uhhhhh....this guy Scott is a sick...sick...sick azzzzz bass player! Lets give Scott some love for being such a great musician!!!!

[@aragusea]

Interesting choice for the thumbnail there, making devil horns behind a gospel player.

[@drewrushlow1820]

Scott has been worshiping Satan for years dude I thought everyone knew about that. Sold his soul for bass chops.

[@maxhoughtonmusic]

You're the last person I expected to see here Adam

[@jackjbass]

u telling me adam ragusea left a comment and in a whole 2 years only got 14 likes? crazy

[@KM-px8cs]

I agree 🤔

[@QuickstickD]

😂😂

[@achienkosi1137]

Scott Bass... you have the best tutorials,actually ive been playing bass for 10years but I started afresh from your tutorials.You really explain well and my bass playing has changed since

[@thomaslanik7215]

Always love your no-nonsense, GREAT engaging presentations. Sir Scott.

[@landondale8496]

So good! Brilliant to take a simple lick and make it so versatile by starting on various beats. My brain just defaults to the same thing every time. This breaks me out of that cycle. And love Israel Houghton! Thanks for throwing in some gospel jams.

[@richbrownbass]

Scott, you killin it, bruh!!! Great playing, my man.

[@michaelkey9549]

Watching how much fun you had while demonstrating this is great.

[@ScrapPalletMan]

I played several Israel Houghton songs at church. Wow they were fun fun fun on the bass

[@thebackstagewatcher7364]

Thx! You are the greatest! I love Your Tutorials!! Greetings from Germany!

[@Practicaleyes]

You're brilliant mate and you have got a great attitude. I really like this channel

[@fobby_]

10:10-10:17 was the best part in this whole video. I've never heard any bassists rip the bridge apart like that! STRAIGHT FIREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

[@benwilliams787]

Did not think Scott could handle gospel genre!! He is a beast!!!!!!!

[@pauljazzbass]

I'd love for you to get Abraham Laboriel.

[@chicanochops]

Favorite

[@shoutsofjoy9130]

I agree. Abe would be a great pick!

[@shanec4441]

Abraham Laboriel inspired me back in the day

[@aldrinbaduria9625]

The great abe!! 😊

[@dgmisal1979]

He was one of the reasons I really worked on bass when I was younger...

[@JnrRumble]

Anthony Jackson is the earliest proponent of 'over the bar' playing that I can think of. Way before the gospel guys.

[@edennard1]

JnrRumble Yep. Especially when he was with Steve Khan and Eyewitness in the late 70's and real early 80's

[@atholbaker8290]

A lot of gospel guys were inspired by Anthony Jackson.

[@tyreegomez6060]

Till this day. I love the way Ant used to walk his bass lines. So timing in his licks and just goes with the song he's playing at the moment. Anthony just had it😂

[@darindjking7463]

James Jameson did with Motown before AJ. Listen to "It's a Shame" by the Spinners and For Once In My Life...Stevie Wonder's version.

[@shawnwomack3446]

I've been keeping up with Reggie Young ever since he was a gospel bass player. This back in the 90s with Hezekiah Walker, James Hall and many other Gospel artists. You should do an interview with Reggie Parker another awesome Gospel bass player.

[@pixelguru]

Amazing lesson, Scott. I'm struggling with same-finger raking, and this is actually a fantastic exercise for that. Would be helpful if you could add fingering to your lesson PDFs. Thanks for your generosity on the tube.

[@SantanaFraticelli]

Always learn something new with your videos. Thank you so much. God bless.

[@MikeSmith-lt4rh]

Thank you ever so much .i can play everything but gospel & was always floored by the playing and a wee bit intimidated at were to even start.

[@kareemhayes9347]

I could tell you were having so much fun with this video. It would be dope if you had Daric Bennett on here. He’s a monster on bass.

[@LambertDriveStudios]

My goodness scott, your bass face makes everyone of these videos priceless!!!!

[@bstelio100]

You are great!! You are my teacher!! Thanks!

[@RandyLott]

You gotta check out Dywane "MonoNeon" Thomas Jr.

[@StarLordIRL]

Randy Lott 100% That man is nuuuuuuuutz

[@bboytony209]

He went to Berkeley

[@bfjones1198]

I've noticed something like this starting a lick/riff on a different beat-thing on an old game soundtrack. The bassline just starts an 8th note later every loop, and the first time it does that actually sounds kinda good how it changes the groove :D it's called cobra triangle - dispose of mines if anyone cares

[@bobgreen623]

I love that drummer!

[@miguelrios2574]

uuuuffff!! the lick on 8:13 tho!! Killin!!

[@devinebass]

🔥🔥🔥

[@esitoris]

Just fantastic Scott!!

[@lukeroper5368]

Hey Scott, ever tried playing Bach Cello Suite Prelude 1 for bass? Maybe not your usual head-bop inspiring style of bass you play, but it sure is fun... would love to see you play it.

[@337raekwon]

Sir Scott you are a blessing !!

[@nelsonericrobert]

Great episode, watched it twice so far.

[@HernanRms]

Sharay Reed is a legend for sure, nice video!

[@takeonemusic5537]

it just gets better and better scott

[@peyotepete6532]

Bass players.... Man! They ROCK!

[@mrstrat222]

You killed it today!!

[@madhatter7862]

That was a sick bass liine Scott!

[@jonathansaenz5538]

Scott! You should totally do a full cover of this song! You teased us too much in this video at the end!!😂

[@shanec4441]

Pentatonic scale- I got it but that is some quick movements. I would do the same but cut out some notes to make if flow a little smoother

[@marcosborges1319]

Hello! Nice lesson. I would like to now about Abraham Laboriel.

[@marklishman5048]

great lesson

[@EonRanch]

You're a very good instructor! Cheers

[@tperry5839]

Man I don’t play bass but I’m gonna start great job

[@RobertJohnson-mi8cx]

Now both of my bass heroes are wearing pork pie hats. Scott and Marcus.

[@laxing77]

Hey Scott. Why do you use your pinky to play the 7th fret during the lick instead of your ring?

[@thehomefront1905]

Barry Hodge wrote the bass line , hit me with your rhythm stick, I think he deserves more respect

[@jellyphish2112]

Dude is epic. Also great hat Scott! (tan glove is excellent too!).

[@vlandounclevcharleston]

Ooooooh my Gawd!!!!! If you was to come to Detroit play like that, your demand would be off the hook!!!!

[@lucianomanfrinato5481]

Israel Houghton at minute 3:05?? OMG! Amazing Scott!!

[@neon_one]

sometimes I think the best musician are just blindly high on ego and or confidence. I mean some people have a freakish gift for timing, but even if you think you suck, you might seem awesome to other people as long as you play confidently like you know what you are doing

[@bigdaddympd]

Israel! Great teaching sir!

[@KeithCopeland778]

I would like to see the following bassists as faculty: Darrell Freeman, Stanley Clarke, Nathan East, Nathaniel Phillips, Alphonso Johnson, Ralphe Armstrong, Marcus Miller, John Patitucci, Alex Al, Jimmy Haslip, Jimmy Johnson, James Genus, Sharay Reed, Anthony Jackson, Abe Laboriel, Alain Caron and Bunny Brunel.

[@BruceCichowlas]

Clear and fun!

[@waltnutt8235]

starting the lick on the off beat gives you even more options...

[@ddccaatt]

You be playing that lick!

[@gimmeagig]

Damn Scott, you can play!!!

[@AugustineMotiar]

Sick. Would love to see you do a live concert.

[@alexanderarkhipov8483]

Please make video about Bebop 🙏

[@IAmKillEveryone]

YES!

[@terrymiller111]

Take that pentatonic scale idea, and use the same idea but with the "bebop" scale, and you are on your way.

[@jordanmiles106]

Terry Miller not even close

[@terrymiller111]

I have been playing longer than you have been alive, more than likely. Your opinion might have a little less weight. Not going to go back and forth. Do your homework, clean your room, take out the trash, and don't hit your sister.

[@hahabass]

I think Terry's saying that some licks have a way of sounding more complex than they really are. I also think Terry's point is that Bebop is much the same. For me, it's about listening widely, copying, time in the shed and some study. That's how the old jazzers did it. Their KZbin was records.

[@stephencoxbass]

Awesome! Is it as hip/hipper to start on the upbeats, or even 16th note partials? I love that you used Saved by Grace for this!

[@prav401]

Nice vid! Great playing! Can you explain at some point how it effects the 4 bar form on the other end of the phrase?

[@patrickmcdonough4211]

Hammer time!!!

[@onevoiceinc]

Why do you bass guys always get the super cool lines? Anyway, this is yet another cool video. I'm kinda familiar with Israel Houghton as is, but what a cool bass idea.

[@kyriboyg]

Damn Scott, play some more music man, you are just awesome.

[@JaQba91]

Scott, also Kirk Franklin and his band! Maybe they has created more intresting music chops and licks as Israel’s pop-gospel songs?

[@lareunoia]

i love to see you having fun

[@calevgrijalva854]

israel houghton on 3:00 , one of my gospel heroes!!!!

[@carlosmatos9848]

Damn those guys were locked in

[@andyroo8566]

I wish you had a show on Netflix showcasing bassists.

[@louisramsay8170]

Makin it look easy

[@Motivatedmailman]

This is a great video!

[@christopherhoughton1418]

The greatly underrated Tommy Sims did the original bass track on this song.

[@tacoque]

And in my opinion one of the best Producers EVER!

[@glynemartin]

_"Feeling the spirit i am"_ - Yoda.

[@olliecarnell9282]

I've noticed a little slide you incorporate into your playing which i'm really struggling to learn, i'm not really sure how to describe it but it's like a semi tone slide that's really effective, you do it around 3:38 in this vid. Any vids on that already exist?

[@oterovidal2484]

That P-Bass Sounds So Good!!

[@J6Miami]

Great video!

[@lgoff5807]

Omg I’m just in awe!

[@Bassman1964]

Just wow, not sure why anyone could or would thumbs down? Maybe drummers that can't keep up? Scott thank you for continuing to inspire to learn more

[@jjzmurphy]

Dig the hat!!! And the mad skills ain’t bad either 😉

[@PHILZEN777]

Amazing brother

[@dadoudavid06]

Thank you very much! awesome keep it up bro'!!!

[@njferrer4321]

Hey Scott! Can you teach what you did at 3:20? Hahaha

[@christenmorris3825]

Justin Rained, Matt Ramsey, and Morgan Turner

[@FarrinD12]

Nice vid Scott! Love it!

[@danielirvine7468]

Love this man

[@NoPlaceForTheDead]

what compressor/limiter does reggie use?

[@Chriswoodworker]

You make that Moollon sing Scott.

[@David_Jr]

Check out Simeon Baker. He currently plays for TD Jakes' church, Potters House.

[@theguitarnoobph]

SICK!!!

[@jameshoy3208]

I just want to see you jamming over that full track

[@Crazyfistish]

It sounds awesome and inspires a lot of ideas! Never thought about playing licks in that way before... BUT Question: What if other musicians in the band perceive this as an accident and not on purpose? As in, they think you've missed your cue but you're playing your licks regardless? Is that thinking about it too much or should you just play with better musicians? Haha!

[@isaacjones8451]

Or what if they see it as them being in the wrong place in the piece, and they adjust accordingly?

[@mosseshassan7182]

Aaah.. Bro.. Ur killing Gospel chops

[@ersonvelasco2531]

And this is how romancing your bass should be...😍

[@bassmuscle101]

So much STANK on that lick!!

[@roamershaker]
