John Myung Progressive Bass Concepts chunk 6

[@TheTheaterdreamer]

"There's a bass solo in a song called metropolis where i do a bass solo." Epic

[@agustinboedo1611]

*Bassoon

[@u.v.s.5583]

I have seen them perfom live in person, and I am very glad to be able to confirm beyond reasonable doubts, that there is indeed a bass solo on Metropolis and that this solo is played by John here.

[@bigbrownhouse6999]

John Myung is the only member of DT whom fans are legitimately in love with.

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Yep! Still have this VHS !

[@adamswing6115]

I'm in love with both John's

[@mateuszkaplon]

All this video he was like: "Now I'll do X" does X effortlessly, yet in a way many other players must have had practiced a year to play it like this blank stare into space: "Social capabilities reloading" "Now I'll do Y..."

[@TheMrCC21]

I'm sure he didn't just one day wake up and know how to play. Although, that's what we believe.

[@neaituppi7306]

Yeah, he is a bassbot.

[@carlosmedina6785]

LMFAO!!!... " Social capabilities reloading"

[@jwardbass4452]

I don't know why, but I really felt it when he said "Take care, and God bless"

[@patrickbeintema9184]

jwardbass me too :)

[@superhomsar2112]

John Myung is one of the most interesting characters i've ever come across. watching him preform, teach, and even TALK entrances me. this guy is amazing.

[@jagdjohn96]

I dont always tap, but when I do... I usually think of chords

[@theothertroll]

"...But when I do, I reach for a bong" - he so stoned at 4:36

[@pedroordonez7031]

but when I do I kick major ass.

[@franciscodesouza5436]

and what is the problem?

[@falb5659]

Good sentence for a t Shirt

[@ConorsGuitar]

That bass solo at the very end was so f**king musical! His approach to playing bass goes much further in depth than 99.9percent of other bassists

[@bassimprovjams3772]

I so wish Myung would do more of what he did on the Free Jam! He’s shredding!! He’s such a team player for DT!

[@francescoballetta7945]

Incredible precision. Extremely gifted musician

[@이석찬-s9f]

I always think that John Myung is the great bassist when I practice bass playing by this one in profile photo. I always thanks to James LaBrie, John Myung and John Petrucci for your sign for my bass at Inchon airport on Oct 2014~!!

[@JohnSmith-wd9rc]

Do you ever think of how much time he has had to practice over the years to get that good? Excellent musician.

[@ariodanurdorowidodo9599]

3:30 "that i like to do, that i like to do" how cute JM is 🤙

[@chucksteak6396]

John Myung's blinks are longer that some Dream Theater songs.

[@numberneinlarge9965]

Finally! I have definitive proof that Myung isn't a robot!

[@SoulmongerV2]

Have you seen that tapping? We have a definitive proof he IS a robot.

[@igorTC23]

Melhor e mais técnico baixista da historia!!!

[@adamchristiancalaluan3670]

"It's a great learning experience for me too." such a nice dude.

[@bufferzone3247]

Yes. learned a lot. Thank you. There goes sleep. Ill be trying new variations for next little while from what you showed us. Which ultimately lead to a new jam idea. Sun coming up again. Thanks John. Hope you come play Casino Rama some day. Closest Ill get to seeing you live.

[@kyotoyep6666]

Imagine John Myung reading you a bedtime stories....💤💤💤

[@u.v.s.5583]

Welcome to John Myung ASMR channel, where I will be gently tapping random musical instruments as you fall asleep!

[@lazydog1964]

John all your Bass lines are so Masterful, Thank you for sharing this so many years ago but every time i watch it I’m more amazed. God Bless Brother

[@tankwfw]

I have zero understanding of music theory, but I do know what I like, and I likes John Myung

[@Geddylee2000]

Thank you, Sensei.

[@Bruh-ob9mi]

What a swell guy! My favorite mysterious music man

[@MyEggIsBoiled]

I am very aware that I could improve vastly, believe you me. It's really just an "at this point in my life" thing. I'm a full time student, I work (not much at the moment, due to school, so funds are never high), etc. I do owe it to myself. You're absolutely right.

[@yorisoi_channel]

I never finish watching this video because I never fail to fall asleep while watching it. Btw, John Myung is awesome as always.

[@cellardoor451]

This dude shreds on bass and can make you sleep by talking and he plays bass solos in bass solos. What's there to not like?

[@dadangjeff5030]

I love the way he plays bass, high technique ..

[@jbombk]

I know how you feel bro! Every damn time I watch a Victor Wooten clip, I wonder why I bother even living.

[@guy494]

wow john you're a freakin god of bass and i worship you

[@michaelerikvonhartung6703]

Yes, he does talk but when I had the pleasure, he said nothing but offered up some great bass lines to my son ! (another bass player)

[@michaliskripasis402]

Play the video at 0.5 speed.YEAASH.

[@jjjb9098]

I consider Myung to be one of the quintessential examples of a 'gifted' musician and therefore, a 'gifted bassist' that inspires the majority of most bassists (not gifted-but have to work and practice our asses off to play like the natural gifted musicians do) to practice more, continually increase the level of difficulty of our playing, and inspire us to pass our knowledge and gift of' music on.

[@ricardojoseyanezmarquez6579]

John is THE BEST BY FAR. PERIOD.

[@Jedimax01]

I wish John Myung would do more stuff like that today

[@XaviOrtegaSchecter]

"There's a bass solo in a song called Metropolis, where a I do a bass solo" OMG He's definately amazing, He plays a bass solo into a bass solo, Now i know why he doesn't talk to often,,,!

[@u.v.s.5583]

He does a bass solo on every Dream Theater song with a bass solo, and he does so on the bass, unless it is a Chapman stick solo, in which case he plays a Chapman stick solo instead.

[@RivanNurzaman]

when he talk,, he make me sleepy

If you play the video at 2 times speed from 1:08 to 1:13, he's like a sudden speed freak. It's amaaaaaayzing.

[@reiniervanzwieten7092]

thats how he plays it live

[@soopahsoopah]

Myung + Tung = Sprung! Love it.

[@SaiRam-nz9sy]

How to make your son an incredibly talented musician Step 1: First name's gotta be John. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

[@makeshift26]

Guys just happy to be a musician. So cool and he probably doesn't even realize it. Great lesson.

[@clairwilliams5982]

I love watching John playing live. However the camera people never stay on him for long enough. He is so underrated that all those people who like to take the piss should be on their knees grovelling to him. I thought John Entwhistle and Geddy Lee were the best, but John Myung is the best by far.

[@fredbass77]

So great memories i have still the K7 vhs

[@clairwilliams5982]

Just love that intro to Scarred. Cameras always on JP instead of JM such an oversight.

[@cursedswordsman]

Ah, tsk tsk! I can't recommend it enough. Getting a teacher is the most important thing though. It made no sense to me whatsoever just learning all this theory on my own, but my instructor cleared up everything. You can start improv'ing (which is actually very easy) and get a whole new grasp on what the bassist your emulating was thinking when he made the song.

[@CienciaySalud360]

John Myung is GOD AND MONSTERBASS!!!!!!!!!!

[@ArtemVII]

love that tung bass

[@leeDs718]

sequential planting is super important too, it's often over looked with finger technique

[@chuchaka]

i don't always do tapping, but when i do, i think of chords

[@bassman7530]

@MattyTheTurner When using 3 fingers, John uses a 3-2-1-3-2-1 pattern. You'll see this clearly in an earlier segment of his instructional video when he's working on right hand technique using pentatonic scales. If you watch that, you'll also notice his pinky finger moves with his other fingers as well (even though he's not plucking with it), as if he's flicking his fingers from pinky to index. Using 3-2-1 feels much more natural than 1-2-3 or 1-2-3-2 anyways; give it a try.

[@MrZlitonus]

I' mlike 10 milions light years to be able to do the 1/2 of this OMG

[@kitsune630]

[@BurzumiyaMusic]

@MyMytalMajesty To be honest, I don't really know. But if you haven't seen it yet, it's really cool. It amplifies Myung's technical asian-ness.

[@willstanbury9725]

Hes just SO good

[@dntinpalevo]

he talks?!

[@pauljohnson1065]

I've seen D.T. many times, and they never disappoint. Mr. Myung would have been a great bass player for Jean Luc Ponty!! Check out his collaboration with TY Tabor!

[@paquitoluigi]

GOD BLESS BRO!

[@peaceman1665]

he doesnt talk much but when he does you just cant stop listening

[@marsvoltian]

He is the Man! Its pretty much the equivalent of the Petrucci Rock Disciplies =D

[@anggara__]

Look, how cute he was. 😁

[@kimno1867]

i like john.................... wow nice bass cover and skill. i will copy ...

[@spacemanbose]

5:15 for the TOP song

[@MyEggIsBoiled]

No sir! Haha. But I am still active in my bass playing and have long since moved to the world of the six string frenzy. Have I improved? Very much so, but I have never given the time of day to learning such technicalities. Would it improve my playing and what not? I'm sure it would. But I truly enjoy the experimental factor of constantly stumbling onto new things and not having a name for them.

[@CliffHuxtableSweater]

I hate that kids nowadays have instant access to anything they even think they wanna learn. Back in the 90s I would’ve had to save up 70 bucks to get my hands on an instructional vid like this or Vic Wooten, pattitucci, etc. musicians had more mystique to them because usually you’d only “hear” about this “cat” who was doing insane stuff on an instrument for a few years before you maybe got a chance to see him or get some recording or footage. Nowadays kids go directly to the hottest players and start there lol no wonder kids are outplaying grown men after a heart

[@Matthew-pn1qu]

Stupid question here: What is this from? Is this part of a DVD or something?

[@brutus319]

Yeah, there is a DVD and a book accompanying it called progressive bass concepts. He talks about and explains various lessons like this one.

[@MyEggIsBoiled]

@TheBassMan533 I don't know where you feel you're getting by quoting me on something I didn't say, but more power to you. I play bass, I'll never take a lesson, and I do a damn fine job. Apparently I'm less of a musician to you because I like to have instrumental jams with my pals instead of trying to "get hired". Whatever pal.

[@Geetman]

And he's only 4 years older than me on top of that. It's one of the best, if not the best music school in the United States. People from literally all over the world go to that school to pursue a music career. A good friend of mine Toshi Iseda went there too, and he's a professional musician, look him up. It's one of the hardest music schools to get into, and Joe Satriani and Steve Vai went there as well. And Alex Skolnick of Testament was one of Satriani's students. Your argument is invalid

[@muntoonxt]

The guy who's above him in the top bass players list.

[@douaxiong6365]

He is good bass player on earth

[@d1scoun7]

I love how when someone critiques a musician everyone else always attacks the critique as if he has no validity in his remarks.

[@mamatronic963]

[@ventor11225]

lol Theres a bass solo in a song called Metropolis where I do....... a bass solo. Lol John Myung is freaking amazing!!!!!!!!!

[@MyEggIsBoiled]

@TheBassMan533 I guess mine, for avoiding the rules and technicalities and leaving the creativity up to discovery and pure chance.

[@wanderingwiththesaavedras]

Thank you Sir, GBU,

[@bentarpey8666]

It's not that dream theatre songs need bass solos or feature parts, but dream theatre clearly need more bass solo's and feature parts

[@MyEggIsBoiled]

@baxterserbia And the little bit of theory I learn I get from hearsay, online, etc. I love discovering things without knowing I'm about to stumble upon them. Keeps the experience much more magical for a longer period of time :)

[@thevanpeltscream5167]

What's the song at the credits? Great bass!!

[@InSanityThrashBand]

Have you learnt the concepts of scales, and their technical names yet? ^^

[@MattyTheTurner]

During the 3-finger plucking, is he going 1-2-3-1-2-3, or 1-2-3-2-1-2-3? He's going so fast that I can't tell. :(

[@bathroomcarpet7198]

[@MyEggIsBoiled]

@TheBassMan533 Everything I know I've taught myself. I may not live up to your standards of this "why" with music, but I think I've come a hell of a long way from not knowing how to hold an instrument to formulating basslines in various time signatures and developing my own tapping technique. I don't need to be "hired" to feel and know I'm a musician. So if that's what it takes to live up to your standards, I'm fine defying that.

[@dadangjeff5030]

i like it.....

[@MrWet207]

goddamn his right hand is good

@MyEggIsBoiled So true. Keeping music intuitive is important, making a science out of it is a big mistake. Comunication with other musicians is easier when you know names and terms for certain things, that`s where theory helped me a lot. Thats what I think is It`s general purpose.
