Ray, Thankyou, I,m 68 , just started learning ! You answered many questions that I Had. Grew up in Ct. (don,t miss NY, lol) live in Wi. !!!!

[@leehicks3172]

I like that you called it a bass drum that makes pitches because I’ve always called it a dancing bass drum, lol! So very similar concept to my perspective :)

[@pangeaproxima9446]

Very good lesson!

[@robcrozierjazz]

just played Autumn Leaves last night. Love your sound, Ray.

[@xxbstpagexx]

Well explained video dense with information I plan to use. Thank you for posting.

Thank you Ray bass player from Minneapolis

[@rbrianharris]

This was REALLY great. The pace was perfect for an intermediate player. Too many videos belabor the basics or feel compelled to review Music Theory 101. This video helped connect a lot of disparate dots for me.

[@vanderpoolfarmsl.l.c.9983]

Excellent instruction. Thank you!!

[@davidmaslow399]

Alot of good information in 12 minutes Ray!

Thank you so much! My punch is much punchier and the theory finally clicked for me in terms of application.

Thank you

[@emilewestergaard6573]

Amituofu Ray! Very deep of course! More chi!

[@okorsa]

hello thanks for your teaching, but can you used the electric bass guitar 4 stren.?

[@RayParker]

All the same stuff works on electric. The sound of electric bass makes it challenging to get the feel right because there isn't as much percussion on the note and the sustain is too flat. It can be done, of course, but it's a different sound and feel. Steve Swallow does it very well -- and with a pick!

[@Bflatest]

Im new to Jazz im from more southern blue rock stuff. I seem to mainly see guys playing the upright double bass like yours. Is it considered a cardinal sin to use an electric bass in jazz? I mean if I try to get out and get some gigs.

[@Nikosi9]

No, it's not. There are many electric players. Sonny Rollins has been using a bass player, Bob Cranshaw, on electric bass. Also, Steve Swallow is a very good player to listen to...

[@petermanley7525]

First Class thanks

[@adbadhed]

[@bezuglich]

Ray what bass is that?

[@stevebaker1514]

Hi, nice job. Quick question. What strings are you playing? Thanks!

[@cotehall9434]

Judging by its sound and colour of the pegbox-end, these strings sould be "Thomastik Spirocore Medium Gauge"

[@604jroe]

I don't know much jazz ... what is the song he's playing?

[@jamesmmusic5806]

Autumn Leaves
