I really like how Janek breaks down a simple pentatonic minor scale to many possibilities, love the tone of your bass.

Man, it seems that the book is THE book on pentatonics. Every example you show is usable and musical.

Brother Janek… thank you for sharing your bass guitars and music instruction. Also the knowledge, wisdom you impart and yet take the time to include some of your life experiences. Your videos make my journey with the bass guitar and its possibilities much more tangible. Many thank youssss and blessings🙏🏽

Again, unbelievable breakdown. I’ve learned more from Janeks books in the past 2 months than in the past 20 years and I went to a jazz university and got my degree.
@AlexandarShmex10 ай бұрын
Which books did you study man?
@agcbass10 ай бұрын
Same here, sans attending jazz university and formally studying music. I've worked through courses with complex systems and multi-step process, but nothing has been more effective than tackling a since one of Janek's lessons and playing the exercise in a ll 12 keys. You get a ton of learning out of just playing one exercise for a week. Have you worked through the Ten Minute Manual? There is some really good stuff in there. It's all interesting, varied, and keeps practice interesting.

I’m reading through many simultaneously. ii V I I think, warmups, pentatonics, the good stuff. I’m also working through ray browns method for urb. I can’t recommend them enough

Quick question , what’s that pedal which “freezes” the chord without imparting like a time clip. I have the ditto but I can’t seem to get an continuous infinite clean chord pedalling underneath which would be killer for the shed

There are a few options for doing this. In the video I'm using the Helix Rack with the Helix Control to switch the "poly sustain" block on and off. This is an extreme version in terms of price, but it just happens to be in my home recording setup so I often use it in videos. The same "poly stustain" block exists in all the helix products and I use it often in the HX Stomp. I started out the EHX Freeze pedal which also does the same thing. If you want to create a pad/sustained chord with your ditto, simply record a few seconds of silence, then hit record again and swell in a chord using either a volume pedal or your volume knob. This will then loop with no specific start/stop point, and give you a chord to play over. It's a bit of a clunk solution, but if that's what you have right now, it does work.
