This Bassline is FUNKY! | Jayme's Bass Academy

[@KrimsoMusic]

Minute details like sliding down towards the next note while ghosting is the kind of stuff only the best tutors will drive attention towards. I know teachers at music colleges who don't go that deep into their lessons 😂 A wonderful little groove and a wonderful lesson indeed Jayme!!

[@deadbeatstudios]

Thank you Vince, I'm honored!

i like your right hand movement, so minimalistic, looks like you're doing almost nothing with it but when you listen to it it's amazing.

[@RichardHaleShaw]

Jayme, awesome video lesson. Questions: I've not used the tap technique before. I've done 16th-note patterns (transcribed and worked on lots of Rocco, so have ghosted but not tapped). Just to learn this one, I worked it up *without* the tapping, and while I got it, I noticed my placement of the two C#s was a little off, realized that the tapping would likely solve that problem. So I'm re-learning it *with* the tapping, but I'm a little stuck doing so. Do you have any exercises or suggestions for really getting comfortable with the tapping and integrating it into my lines. Thanks, man!

[@respiromedia]

Jayme, with all the respect, in order to have a correct staff notation for E Major, there should be four sharps at the key + there should appear the 'natural' symbol wherever the D natural appears. According to your current notation, the musical piece is either in A Major or in F# minor, which is (of course) not the case.

[@deadbeatstudios]

I see what you're saying, but if you look closer you'll see that were not in the key of E at all. Just cuz we're tonicizing the note E, that doesn't make it the I chord. In fact, an E7 cord is a dominant chord, which is synonymous for the V cord, and E is the V if A ;) So logically, the key is most certainly A - since there are no D#'s present - and the D natural is prevalent. Of course you could argue both scenarios to be correct, but I always key a song based on the notes ACTUALLY being used and how they function (which in this case is clearly A), rather than a rule that says "if you stay there the whole time it must be the I chord." Of course they would teach it that way in school, however, but I'd call them wrong simply from a 'musically grammatical' standpoint. But to each his own :)

[@Kaljanderi]

Plucking most of those ghost notes feels more fun and intuitive to me. Am I doing it wrong? Only the second ghost note in the first bar is one I play by dropping my fingers on the strings.

[@deadbeatstudios]

I'd say always go with your gut, unless it's causing you to play sloppy :)

[@deadbeatstudios]

Thanks! Ya stacatto playing is difficult, and I cover the techniques quite extensively in The Bassics and the Essential Funk Vocabulary courses at thebassist.net

[@rome8180]

@@deadbeatstudios Thank you. I've been working on ghost notes a lot and I'm pretty comfortable with them. But when it comes to playing staccato, I'm at a loss unless I'm doing the Rocco Prestia technique or using a foam mute.

[@AnAmericanComposer]

Why not just play the first C# in measure 2 on the E string, 9th fret? It would take less effort to do that and would let you slowly transition down the neck back to the beginning of the riff

[@Jackal_Blitz]

Thinner strings get that burpy funky sound better than thicker strings, especially thicker strings at higher frets.

Always the same incoerente way of making videos here on youtube: "ADVANCED funk groove" in the title, and then explained in too much stupid details in the video. So the question is, what's the target of the video? Beginner or advanced musician?!??!?!

[@deadbeatstudios]

I'd say almost anyone could click on this and be able play it, even though it's pretty advanced, due to the way in which it is explained. So the target is everyone I guess, except for you, seemingly. But that's ok - I'd recommend checking out some players like Nathan Navarro or Adam Neely or Janek Gwizdala. All good friends of mine and probably more to your liking.
