How To REALLY Practice Your Scales 💪!!

[@lukeves]

I love bass. Phone companies and speaker manufacturers hate bass.

[@oliverpls]

Sony would like that have a word...

[@carpediemarts705]

They don't hate bass. It's just 4x as much work.

[@paradise_valley]

Aka good bass

[@aronkay8615]

😂😂

[@vladimird5280]

It aint about phone companies, it's about how they recorded this, it needed more gain, boost or maybe a compressor even

[@bassyboii]

I always have these moments where I go “wow, I’m getting pretty decent” and then this guy pops up and reminds me that I am nowhere close

[@troytolbert2005]

Just so happens this guy is Jaco's son soooo.....

[@akinwale_p]

Literally, im like oh hey i improved a pretty cool blues bassline today nice abd then this mf is doing this shit

[@percyvolnar8010]

Dude, I got news for you. This is nothing. I thought i was good till I hung out with Hadrien Feraud and he literally did this even more devilishly than Jaco's son here.

[@chrisbauman2562]

Don't compare yourself to others. Cause there's things you can do that he could never dream of. Be humble and play because you love to play

[@lukeves]

I cant even hear this unless my phone is cranked ...

[@gingerale1591]

it makes sense why, since phones are already so expensive and basically nobody needs that much bass on the dinky phone speakers... but yeah i agree it sucks :(

[@metallsnubben]

@@gingerale1591 And also just literally the limitation of size, to vibrate slower and still have volume you need a bigger/deeper speaker

[@Kallum]

It’s not how EVERYONE needs to REALLY practice scales, it’s just a way he figured was nice for him. If you practice and practice and practice you will develope your own techniques and tricks

[@Shloopers]

This is the foundation of playing guitar/bass. If you can't do these things at the speed and confidence that he can then you need to practice more

[@Lorenzzini]

True

[@carpediemarts705]

You could fumble around or practice effectively.

The Mu'tet did a masterclass at my high school, and felix inspired me to set up my 5 string with a high string for more melodic/harmonic stuff instead of the usual low B

[@blop-a-blop9419]

try D G C F Bb tuning maybe ? ;) it's dropping every string 2 semi-tones

Guitar player here. I’ve recently learned a little bass and kinda vibe with it as a intermediate guitar player but I truly want to play and be successful with both instruments. How can i find a system to practice both with out compromise or messing up another instrument

[@mgrosser2197]

Get a Bass VI and tune it and your regular guitar to EADGCF

[@samdajellybeenie14]

And this is one of the reasons why upright bass is more difficult. We often can’t have 3 notes in one position (except in thumb position) so having to shift and coordinate the shift with bow changing strings is really tough. If you want to feel like a real amateur play in slurred.

[@aaronmetz8707]

I'm an electric player but adopting a more horizontal approach has been life changing for me. I think that aspect of upright explains why so many good upright players are so much more facile across the neck than electric players. It was something I immediately noticed when watching Tom Kennedy play with Mike Stern a long time ago. He was so much more creative with articulation as a result of it too.
