yamahabass Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Well not secrets, that was just to get your attention.... Like you I'm trying to be or would like to be a great soloist on the bass. So here's a quick video to help you/me on our way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad62A54WjPw&feature=youtube_gdata_player Quote
AdamWoodBass Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Just checked out you're vids! Great phrasing and a lovely feel about your playing, I loved the solo on Blue Bosa. I will now sit in my study and practice all night! What ever you are practicing it is certainly working and I need to find me some of that! Keep it up dude, hope to see some more vids soon!

deepbass5 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 sound advise, and I think the plane was an A330 and you live in Feltham ? Quote
yamahabass Posted November 28, 2012 Author Posted November 28, 2012 Haha! Those Damn planes lol Thx Adam, you are far too kind, i bet uou are an awesome player yourself. I'm uploading another video - bass blogger #2 . Which has a lick that you might find useful. Yep we just gotta keep learning the good stuff! Joe Quote
AdamWoodBass Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 I'm currently working on some random noodlings and trying to work on my phrasing rather than just going "Oh no! Bass solo time! What the hell do I play?!" and just flailing my fingers around vaguely in the right key in the modest hope that at least something will sound passable as a solo! I think I'll be taking your advice on learning some solos from other musos, I've got a book of Charlie Parker stuff that I occassionally dip in and out of which has plenty of material to steal... I mean... ahem... plagiarise and tastefully reference! When I've had a chance to do some recordings I'll get them posted up on here, would love to hear your thoughts. Quote
yamahabass Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 hi! sorry to take so long to reply, been away fro, bass for awhile in general but now im back! well, i would say that you are 100 % on the right path with charlie parker, if you get down any of his licks you are def on the money i would try to play his licks up high on your bass but also down low so you can develop a nice style all over your bass. love to hear your solo vids so let me know when you have the, uploaded till then.....
