Great lesson. My favorite Jazz album of all time: "Kind of Blue" ( Miles & Coltrane ). I'm a guitar player who's learning Jazz Bass. I've always wanted to learn this. oNe LoVe from NYC

Hi Dan, I just subscribed. You are a very good teacher. No showing off which is a big plus for me.

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thanks very much, Kevin!

[@bocobocoboco]

I really like this lesson. I’ve been looking for something new to play. Really well explained. I hope you are enjoying your summer holidays and not missing the english winter

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thanks Michael. Raining a lot here but it's not cold!

[@peaceandlove1876]

Love the Dorian lesson! Thank you ✌❤

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thanks for watching!

[@charlieburns1385]

Awesome thanks ✌️🎶

[@tomislavkefecek4443]

nice, what a groovy bassline, understated

[@OnlineBassCourses]

A classic!

[@jw112mail]

Such a great lesson. Really helped me wrap my head around this piece.

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Happy to hear that!

@@OnlineBassCourses Hi Dan, thank you for the lesson! Is there any chance to add the tabs?

[@OnlineBassCourses]

@@RomanLy11 my pleasure, Roman. Sorry, I don’t have TABs for this lesson…

Nice lesson Dan! 👍🏾

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thanks Trevor!

good !

Nice

Love this. How about autumn leaves

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thanks. Definitely on the list...

[@mojito6629]

I choose to Tune down to D-G-C-F or play the song transposed to Em LOL

[@BuddycatAFK]

This is great and luckily I speak in ADHD

[@warwickdennis4114]

I’ve seen this song played at least 3 different ways, which is the right version??

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Interpret it how you like! Listen to the version you like best (the original) and figure that out.

[@brunodanner7777]

Would love the tabs for this...yes, I'm lazy.

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Sorry, I don’t have it!

[@jefflebowski1838]

Awesome sound. Whats the amp and pedal? I assume its flats? And any special pickups? I need to replicate that !

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thanks! It's very basic and bare bones actually. Bass--> Avalon U5--> US Apollo into Logic. Stock pickups. No amp or pedal! I tend to plug in and play for KZbin videos. I might get more involved when I record. I'll do more videos on recording soon...

[@stevecrozet306]

doesnt the intro bass line start with and E note and then modulates to F?

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Think it’s Dm to Ebm but I could be wrong. Em to Fm would also work.

[@stevecrozet306]

@@OnlineBassCourses I was referring to the main opening riff Dan

[@OnlineBassCourses]

@@stevecrozet306 are you talking about the original? I’d have to double check!

[@stevecrozet306]

@@OnlineBassCourses yes the original

[@OnlineBassCourses]

@@stevecrozet306 what I said before: Dm to Ebm both Dorian. 👍

[@flukyreview9128]

Tabs would’ve been extremely helpful 😏

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Try to work on your ear and to learn the scale/arpeggio/triad patterns. Link any pattern to a sound and work hard on this skill. It will enable you to play what you like and not to have to rely on TAB.

[@rollingbikersstories3311]

just let me know if your teachers also went so fast with their hands when they explained to you. The madness of the human mind...

[@OnlineBassCourses]

The madness of people complaining about free lessons! 🤣 Only joking. To be fair, you’re probably right. This was an earlier video in my learning-KZbin-teaching phase. Also, teaching on KZbin is really not easy at all. No student, no feedback, no interaction; just a camera staring back at you. I respectfully ask you to keep that in mind. There is a rewind button and a slow down feature if there is something useful that went by a bit quickly. Thanks for your comment and have a good day. 🙏

[@ShapochkinKirill]

If you need Dan to teach you this tune, the tune is too difficult for you. I know I sound like I'm trolling but Dan knows I'm right.

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Going to have to respectfully disagree with you on this one. Hopefully people can play the thing I’m teaching after I teach it. The difficult thing becomes manageable after some hard work. That’s the whole point of learning. 🙏👍

[@ShapochkinKirill]
