lownote Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) Really interesting and useful (for muppets like me) exposition on various options for fooling around on a single chord Edited September 20, 2021 by lownote 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Thanks. I really enjoyed that Nice to hear someone actually play a bass rather than doing honky noodling Jaco impressions or slapping the snot out if it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 That is excellent - real world stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chezz55 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Outstanding, I'll be 'playing' along to this later on this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Good stuff... his ideas were things I could use. Other YT'ers play stuff I'd want to avoid doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Yep I agree, that was lovely tasteful playing and has easy real world application. Nice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Great to see musicians interacting with other musicians, rather than solo noodling, or "playing along" to a backing track where you can only hear the backing track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I very rarely bother to watch videos, but I watched that from beginning to end - very nice playing, and no showing off, just good, tasteful music. They looked like they were enjoying themselves, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, nearly didn’t watch it due to Paul Gilbert having a clip on tuner on show......🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHM Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 well I'll buck the love, I thought this was pretty disappointing fare from such esteemed musicians. Can't see much use for self indulgent bass-lead-noodling at a gig (leave that to others) although it might be OK with a chum at home after a few beers. Perhaps that's what they're doing here. Given we're in an education platform, I'd be more interested in seeing what bass patterns could be used under a single repeated chord to keep the interest going without resorting to being showy. We had a repeating root after a minute or so of fluff, but I didn't see much 'extended vamping' to develop this classic bass support-pattern which would have been more useful to see what a maestro can do to educate mere mortals like me into how a pattern can be developed, so I gave up at 3.30. Perhaps it was all in the second half. For me 'going off on one' doesn't make great music, it's better if development is structured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
