Learning Chords with Adam Neely | Jayme's Bass Academy

[@Olordrin]

I really need a playlist of Adam Neely collabs that are on other channels, because I'm finding them by random and I feel like I'm missing out on a lot. :D

[@felporocker]

Adam is a great teacher, he always explains concepts in a simple and helpful way.

[@TheDetherageDialect]

Why was I waiting for one of them to start playing blackbird...

[@Herehear49]

So glad they didn't!!!

[@richard.5268]

@@Herehear49 why?

[@Anjiruu]

Richard. Because playing in the riff of ascending tenths is like a whole meme to that song

[@JamesDavisakaRemguy]

@@Anjiruu Ha ha ha ha ha!!! Funny, and so true. It would be easy to play on bass though. Might turn a few heads in the music store - the penultimate experience for any lonely bass player. The absolute #1 would be, of course, to play Stairway... (No really, I think it would be to play Portrait of Tracy, n'est-ce pas?)

[@lockedowng]

Two of my favorite youtubers in a video together! I could listen to guys converse all day.

[@deadbeatstudios]

I also had him on The Bassist Podcast as well, should go live in a few weeks, so stay tuned!

[@LaFritePerreGoat]

@@deadbeatstudios if you are not too far away from each other you should do it more often. Its really interesting to hear youbspeaking toogether

[@JamesDavisakaRemguy]

I'm loving that bass Adam is playing! MM pickup at the bridge and P pickup at its spot, plus a Jazz neck in maple with block inlays, perfect!! - I WANT - Please have him send it to me for Christmas. Thank you.

[@JamesDavisakaRemguy]

Wait, there's more. A Precision body, also in maple (oh, I hope it's light, under 9 lbs.), with string trees for every string but the E. Got-DAMN, that's just exceptional! I can't wait for Christmas morning when I unwrap that thing...

[@squid-boy4178]

I play bass and do chords all the time so thanks for this

[@odinnhrafnsson6267]

We guitarists sure love spread triads

[@serseriherif9530]

Mmmmm triad spread

[@mladigospon]

More chords, I've been looking for chords on bass, other than Scotts bass lessons there isn't much content on the UTube, so thanks very much guys !

[@deadbeatstudios]

stay tuned, there's plenty more coming!

[@samuelward1148]

Also check out Colin Hodgekinson and Jonas Hellborg... Two of my favorite bassists that play chordal stuff. Check them out!

[@mladigospon]

@@samuelward1148 Hey neverheard of Colin before thanks for the heads up !

[@samuelward1148]

@@mladigospon of course buddy! Just spreading the love of overlooked, underrated bassists that really pushed the envelope. Colin first played in a band called Back Door, a three piece with bass, drums, and a gentle playing keyboard and sax... Sometimes at the SAME TIME. Then after they broke up, he's been a popular session musician for his uniqueness, and has been doing a BUNCH of one man shows... Cause he's that good. I actually found out about him through Jonas Hellborg. I was watching an interview about how to make your chords on bass sound better, and he mentioned Colin and his style... So glad for that. Jonas is one of my new favorites of ALL TIME. He's so unique and excellent... I shiver when he plays. He's a great musician to strive to be as good as... Played with John McLaughlin, Shawn Lane, etc. etc! *Drools from how awesome Jonas Hellborg is*

[@mladigospon]

@@samuelward1148 I gotta mention the most stereotypical thing ever Jonas reminds me of Jaco.. Bit of a stretch there like fretting that one nasty harmonic on Portrait of Tracy. But since he is so unique he has his own world of sound. These are all amazing musicians and I would be the happiest person in the world if everybody and every person is involved and played music !! There is a universe of possibilities if you take time and learn the language !

[@kittykat575]

Shout out to you for putting up the pdf lesson for free. Appreciate it bro, glad I found this channel.

[@deadbeatstudios]

you're more than welcome! Thanks for reaching out!

[@samuelesandri5634]

This video really gave me a larger field of view over my bass playing possibilities. Thanks a lot, for real. Keep it up!

[@deadbeatstudios]

Thank you, I'm honored!

[@antiv]

Yeah this was awesome 👍🏾

[@EnterEscape]

@10:27 did you harmonize with a burp? amazing

[@Mipster_]

Have to say, that Harley Benton Adam is playing sounds super rich and full! I'm impressed :)

[@lorenzomercuriali2891]

Those were some cool licks

[@deadbeatstudios]

Ya Adam's got tons of em!

[@samuelward1148]

You mean SICK LICKS, right? Haha!

[@deadbeatstudios]

@@samuelward1148 For the win :)

[@samuelward1148]

@@deadbeatstudios I just want to say thank you. You and Jonas Hellborg recently inspired me to play bass again after a 6 year break. With your videos you helped show me the avenues I haven't traveled... To put up no boundaries or walls when playing. To you, Jayme, I say thank you so very much. Even though I'm just some random internet person and the sentiment might not mean a lot to most, I really mean thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep making those licks sick, brother-man.

[@deadbeatstudios]

@@samuelward1148 Thank you Samuel, I'm honored! Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do to help!

[@hhamilton1970]

Great lesson. Really useful info to broaden our playing. Thanks!

[@deadbeatstudios]

Thank you, I'll be sure to pass that on to Adam!

[@charltondemas3560]

omg haha, Ive been playing bass for FAR too long to not have thought of this brilliant exercise before. Thank you soooo much A-dog and J-rock, seriously blew my mind and im very stoked to work on this!

[@deadbeatstudios]

Haha J-Rock, I'll take it! I'm actually having lunch with Adam today, I'll pass that on! Thanks Charlton!

[@Tanglangfa]

Just when I thought I had a handle on Theory and chords. Jesus. Nice video! Thank you so much for it!

[@deadbeatstudios]

Thank YOU!

Love this lesson. Thanks so much! 👊🏼♥️🙂

yes, my two favourite bass you tubers in one place!

[@skaterdude7277]

Wow, made a bass sound like a harp, rad!

[@christopherwashington663]

Beautiful 'Wick!

[@WeZte]

I like it! And Adam is playing a bass that I'd like to buy, but I can't find any reviews because it's a new model. Adam please HELLLPPPP! Do you like it? Would you recommend it?

[@LucasWxyz]

WeZte I got it. Few weeks ago and I love it. As an object, it is beautiful, it feels beautiful. The small C shape neck is just amazing. It doesn’t look cheap at all. It also sounds amazing. Now, I play at home over a pedal board and straight to my headphones, so don’t take this as a proper review.... The control knobs are responsive and not too lose that you could move them by mistake, but they don’t require too much effort either. I am just in love with this bass. Maybe @adamneely could give us a better insight from a teacher/profesional musician perspective. For the price I would say... get it. And then later start moding it. I will change some things in the future.

[@samkarugu7639]

REALLY HELPFUL N AWESME

[@deadbeatstudios]

Thanks Sam! I'll pass that along to Adam :)

So this is where Adam Neely's Bass Lessons have gone too, hahaha

[@deadbeatstudios]

Haha ya I'll take Adam on my site any day of the week!

[@LaClaveDeFa]

Is Adam playing a Harley Benton Enhanced Series bass? Thanks, excellent lesson.

[@deadbeatstudios]

I'm not sure what bass he's playing, but HB was at GuitCon so probably! And thank you!

you get a six string bass to play chords or the four octave range which is why I have 3 man you can play some morbid sounding stuff

[@bustabass9025]

Get a 5'er or a 6 string...you won't, "...run out of room."👑🎸🎵

3:10 when A. Neely clicked on his distortion pedal. Or was it my phone speaker? Great video lol

Adam's always pulling pranks like that, never can trust that dude!

@@deadbeatstudios He seems pretty cool!! I don't know your name, time to research :).

[@austinlong6445]

what Bass are you playing

[@deadbeatstudios]

It's this bass right here :) thebassist.net/a-warwick-bass-made-in-whisky-only-at-guitcon2018/

[@austinlong6445]

Its beautiful ! I actually spotted your video on the bass right after commenting.

[@mrchiselstick]

I would call the root, 5th, 10th voicing a skip 2 rather than a spread voicing.

[@riacharda]

This bass exercise reminds me of the intro to "I See the Lord" by Ron Kenoly (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX2uloJ3pJemjpI)

[@Collect-AI]

Adam Neely your lessons are always informative and most important Useful! Plus great and fun video editing. However, even though the video quality here is great and there are so many camera POVs. However, the cameras kept jumping around to the worst POVs of your demonstrations. Either too far away to see your fingerings, zooming in on your the bass headstock or on Jayme's bass headstock blocking the view of your finger positioning, etc. Awesome lesson but I spent so much time pausing and scrolling back and forth the video to see what Adam was doing, it was painful to watch and to figure out the technique. Just food for thought.

[@hlokomani]

my fingers are sore

[@deadbeatstudios]

Haha you and me both!

[@ravingsofa...6]

Remember when Adam Neely made content and didn’t shill other peoples gear on other people’s channels?

[@MingusDynastyy]

Did that bass come out of a dumpster?
