SteveK Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I absolutely agree with his point that tone starts at the bone. And I don't wish to pick fault with this video, but... I do think that this vid may confuse beginners. I find it odd that he's ignoring the effect that his fretting fingers have on the sound of the notes. Even in this video you can see that when demonstrating the "round sound" his left fingers fret the notes for a much longer duration than when he is demonstrating the Staccatto and "R&B type thing", he is lifting his finger from the fretted note much sooner. For all you beginners, try playing a simple, slow 4 or 5 note phrase, firstly letting the notes ring by keeping the note fretted. Then play the same phrase, but this time lift the fretting finger almost immediately after plucking - hear the difference? Maybe this vid is only part 1 and Scott D is planning a part 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mornats Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Every time I swap basses with someone to get an idea of the tone of their bass I always end up sounding like me and they always end up sounding like them. On a similar note, Faith No More's Billy Gould demonstrates how to not sound like him and how to sound like him by just playing different: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unrYxF1p5K4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unrYxF1p5K4[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
