In Session with Sean Hurley Ep. 2

In this episode Sean and I talk about choosing the right sounds for the song, and wear our love for the fab four on our sleeves. Just like in Ep. 1, I leave all of our takes completely unedited, and try to make it feel as much like you're in the studio with us as possible.

You guys are my heroes

[@JakeReedmusic]

That’s funny, because you’re mine!

[@RootsBassCanada]

Sean Hurley is my new favourite bassist.

[@piggycity]

The Ballad of Jake and Sean!

[@JakeReedmusic]

Yes! Exactly!

[@piggycity]

@@JakeReedmusic I got you!

[@calicoskyband]

FLAT WOUNDS!? yessss please

[@korolchukpp]

Record in one take, without editing - its so bold. There’s definitely something to it.

[@JakeReedmusic]

Old school!

[@JoeTheOriginalOne]

Wow, didn’t expect Paul and Ringo to make a guest appearance. Well done, lads!

[@JakeReedmusic]

LOL ... they couldn't resist! Thanks!

[@NickGranville]

Yeah Jake! That’s it, playing music together….It’s a radical concept, and much much faster that individual overdubbing.

[@JakeReedmusic]

What’s up, dude?! Miss you! Thanks for watching. Yes, playing at the same time … who knew???

[@fabiominari2861]

Sean is such a big inspiration for me, as a bass player... He's one of the greatest, I really can't love his playin' more than I do!!!

[@JakeReedmusic]

He's a huge inspiration for me, as a DRUMMER! So musical in every way.

[@fabiominari2861]

@@JakeReedmusic he is indeed! Hey, you're great too!!! ♥️

[@JakeReedmusic]

@@fabiominari2861 I appreciate that.

[@capabartz7380]

When you guys said that there was no reason to try to record everything in one take I thought of Miles Davis and how so much of his particular sound is from recording an entire song in one or two takes. More importantly than a random miles Davis related observation is how amazing this kind of content is. As a college music student I can’t tell you how valuable it is to see professionals just go through the process of recording a track. Thank you for this

[@JakeReedmusic]

Totally! But, a couple things to add to your point: jazz is such an improvisatory music, all of the good stuff usually happens in the first couple of takes. We're playing rock music that is all part based, so it's more about finding the best part for the song that works with all of the other parts going on, which is why it sometimes takes more time and takes! ALSO, check out all of the newly released Miles Smiles stuff from a few years ago. It's mind blowing to hear every take of "Freedom Jazz Dance" and how much it evolves over ten or so takes! Thanks for watching. Glad you dig it!

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

that kit and that bass sound🤌

[@JakeReedmusic]

Thanks dude!

[@chrisfrancisbass]

A lot of wisdom sprinkled all over this video. Main thing I’ve realised is that it’s time to buy a few more basses.

[@skylermann]

Sean is so good, you guys are so good. This content and insight is so valuable I feel bad that it’s free on youtube.

[@JakeReedmusic]

Thanks man! Happy to help!

[@Rosebud-mt6em]

Groovy jam guys. I heard some "Ozone baby" licks or feel from the drums.

[@AidanMmusic96]

The end of the video with the moving faces was hysterical, like two moving DVD screensavers fighting for dominance :P

[@JakeReedmusic]

Haha! Thanks for sticking around until the end!!!

[@rjzigterman]

Like Bert & Ernie! Man i love this sort of clips, keep them coming please!

[@JakeReedmusic]

LOL! Love it! I wasn’t quick enough in the moment to think of anymore.

[@rjzigterman]

@@JakeReedmusic But for the record (pun intended) keep that one hit fill going into last chorus (after the bridge).

[@JakeReedmusic]

It’s in there

[@johnniedelong9322]

Thanks Jake, how cool was that for us bass nurds. I would pay admission to sit live and watch you guys. You always find the pocket then fall into the grove. Sean is one of the best, what a monster!

[@JakeReedmusic]

Thanks man! I really appreciate it. Yes, Sean is a total monster. Such a joy to play with him every time.

[@mathiashls]

A joy to watch

[@JakeReedmusic]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@gcritchleymusic]

The ending chord makes me want to see you both stand and bow. Great session!!

[@JakeReedmusic]

Love it! Shoulda thought of that.

[@michaelshenny]

Two absolute legends there… love it!

[@JakeReedmusic]

I appreciate the kind words.

[@joeinthestudio]

Very informative. Thanks for such a great video! PS: in the thumbnail it’s Paul & Ringo on bass and drums respectively, but in the song you model the track after both instruments are played by Paul.

[@JakeReedmusic]

Thanks! That’s like the famous line, which may be true or not, where they asked John “some people think Ringo is the best drummer in the world. Do you agree with that?” And he replied, “best drummer in the world? He’s not even the best drummer in the Beatles!”

[@joeinthestudio]

Ringo is great though) His swing (on “All My Loving” for example) is not that easy to replicate

[@JakeReedmusic]

I LOVE him too … his feel is inimitable!

[@forneysp]

New subscriber! Love it- even as a trombonist. :) so cool to see you doing your thing

[@JakeReedmusic]

Thanks dude!!! Miss you!

[@dhoop4052]

That was awesome thank you

[@jacobmcguffie]

So good! When you said you were going to get more Ringo on the bridge, I totally thought you were going to play the rack tom on the 4 and +, but getting all washy on the ride was cool too!

[@JakeReedmusic]

oooooOOOOOOooooo that would have been a good idea to try out too! Now I need to punch in again! Thank you for the kind words.

[@pine3737]

Really cool! The Hofner meat and potato as you pointed out Sean is between the 5th fret and the 12th. I mean like "Come Together" sounds.

[@JakeReedmusic]

Thanks! Sean is a beast!

[@handwriting8804]

Come together was the rickenbacker. Basically every song the Beatles recorded from late 1964 when Paul got his 4001, except let it be.

[@josefdepovic8495]

i obviously love sean and his playing but as bass player and recording engineer, i have to say-the höfner was actually never used in the studio by the beatles. that "höfner sound" alsways was a rickenbacker amped up mostly through a bassman und mic'ed with a c12 in omni or figure 8, no close micing and crushed with the altec or sometimes the fairchild.

[@loranbuffal]

Video editing is 😂. Pleasure to watch, thanks

[@JakeReedmusic]

Yaaaay! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dirk013adfa]

How in tf did you end up in my feed???? Subbed

[@JakeReedmusic]

Thanks! It was meant to be.

[@joshsinclair7548]

Are the guitar or keyboard parts you get typically scratch tracks? Curious if the groove direction you end up taking inspires the artist to re-record the melody instruments. 🤔

[@charlenemack7040]

I already subscribed. When the hell did I do that? I probably just subscribed because you’re too very hot good looking dudes. ❤️❤️

[@johndelong9230]

I would pay to watch you guys practice. Ask any recording engineer, the Hoffner is one of the best bass guitars to run through a sound board.

[@JakeReedmusic]

it's a great instrument! More vids with Hurley coming soon!

Ringo behind the Drums ? 💘

Meat and potatoes

[@tompoynton]

You can see the difference between someone who has played bass as their principle instrument for a lifetime over a guitarist who has learned to play bass, because almost no guitarist would have that discipline to play lines that simple lol, always make me think of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHfYpXhmirWtrKs

[@followingnazarene]

Not in the pocket at all. This line needs more ‚snap‘. In order to achieve this the snare might be closer and the kick accentuated. The bass might be played behind the beat. Sean isn‘t as great in playing behind as others.
