[@bustabass9025]

Glad his bass tutorials are still available on KZbin, despite his passing. Rest in peace my friend.

[@SashaKebo]

One of the best explanations of ii-V7-I-VI7 soloing on YT.

[@bassplayer1966]

Dang I love this guy, he's up there looking down on everyone watching his videos!!!

[@Individualbass]

So that's how it's done... so many years of searching for secret knowledge... thank you very much. I'm gonna keep practicing!!!

[@realbasslessons9356]

you are welcome

[@Individualbass]

@@realbasslessons9356 It's like a new world is opening up for me! In our country, it is not so easy to find a clear explanation. It's getting complicated somehow... Or maybe I didn't understand anything :) Thank you again!!!

[@realbasslessons9356]

@@Individualbass You are again very welcome.

[@hololeung]

[@OstirBass]

[@izzylazy2902]

You are welcome. :)

[@pleromicpastry5445]

Handsome guy. Great lesson too.

[@robertoyler551]

I've been learning from jim's videos for sometime.you just can't beat him he so good of a teacher and player.

[@Herehear49]

Jim's lessons have made me a much better player in just a few months. Maybe my putting in 2+ hours on bass daily has something to do it? That's the secret, putting in the time on the right stuff.

[@stephenhookings1985]

Merry Christmas Jim to you, your family and friends. You almost make me want to learn jazz ...you certainly make me appreciate it now ... Guess it's never too late to gain new perspective :-)

[@realbasslessons9356]

Merry Christmas to you and yours. Jazz can be fun. :)

[@latenight5865]

Since I watched this, Ab-A F D C B D F Ab has become my first cliche for solo. :) Thanks a lot!

[@tomek9966]

Happy Xmas Jim! Classy as always! BTW I see You also love these Chinese CV series (I Only keep and PLAY them)

[@rkshores]

Thanks I have book eleven and I am doing quite well with it . Which book would you recommend that I go to next . I have also been practicing the cycle as you designated on the a string and I've seen tremendous growth and stamina .

[@realbasslessons9356]

Very cool. I recommend you start a two pronged approach. Begin the video series, "Following The Book Integrated Reading Technique." While it will be simple at first, this is how I always teach technique, as well as reading. I am confident you will love it. Secondly, do the "Following The book "What Makes Motown Bass Motown?" series of lessons. Even if Motown is not your choice of style, no prob, this series will teach and solidify solid time playing, groove, and teach you the fingerboard. I don't know if you read my introduction/description to the "Follow The Book.." programs of teaching, but this is the most detailed and comprehensive teaching I have ever offered. It IS studying with me. But, I warn you, you will need to practice, it will not "work for you." :) Jim

[@rkshores]

Hello Jim I really like your lessons . is it possible I could study with privately or online .

[@realbasslessons9356]

Glad you like the lessons. Can I recommend you start with these: www.stinnettmusicdownloadables.com/Stinnett_Music_Downloadables/follow_the_book.html

[@bendavies4617]

Nice lesson Jim. Noticed you have the always have the bass at a 45 degree angle like a classical guitarist. Do you recommend this to students or is it just personal preference?

[@realbasslessons9356]

Thanks Ben. I hold my bass at this angle because if the neck is lower, I have bend my wrist too much. I suggest you do what ever is comfortable for you.

[@stiphnoyd]

Hi Jim I’ve been following you for awhile. I found this lesson very inspiring and useful thank you. I like your use of flat 9. Very cool. I also like your use of turning the 6 to a dominant and again using the flat 9. Where can I study more lines similar to this? I think this is what I’m lacking in my playing. Dave

[@realbasslessons9356]

David, Copy the master players, this the language of jazz. Start with Dexter Gordon and Grant Green.

[@stiphnoyd]

Thanks Jim

[@kingkeith666]

Now i know why my soloing is so boring

[@realbasslessons9356]

Ha! Then you now should be able to solve that problem. ;)

[@TheBeeRescuer]

6 people would rather listen to the bass technique of Gene Simmons on the bass solo to "She".
