Is this gonna be available forever or is it a limited time thing?
Thank you for your service First Lieutenant Joe Dart
I'm glad some organization is conserving the endangered Vulfs
You guys are no strangers to paying homage to the greats, so I propose a new track inspired by Deodato's "Tahiti Hut." I know you've got the chops to give it that signature Vulfpeck spin while keeping the essence of Deodato's masterpiece.
Imagine the irresistible blend of your tight rhythm section, punchy horns, and infectious melodies with tropical vibes. It's a match made in funk heaven. So, what do you say? Can we look forward to a Vulfpeck x Deodato-inspired jam? I have no doubt that you'll knock it out of the park and leave us all dancing in our living rooms.
Keep on groovin'.
Dean Town is nuts. I might have to check your course out now
Wiil Smith briging back "slap in general" killed me lmao 😂😂
that moment needed laugh track sample imho
that sounded natural 😂
Okay I'm glad that didn't get overlooked LMAO!
I LOL'ed a full 2 seconds before Jack.
Lol that’s so good bro
Joe doesn’t hold his bass - it waits for him.
Speaking of which, what's that bass stand called? And where could I find one.
It might be a modified mic stand they have for famous flyers
@@albaal7035 That's not a bass stand - it's a pole that keeps the floor down. Otherwise the ground would get too high
Ya. It seems to float in the air
I saw one kinda like that used by quite famous polish bassist Mirosław Stępień - he told me one time about this stand (used for fretless when he played in one song on bass and... accordion) was... a percusion stand and this fretless (any Wiesław Długosz 5string) has threaded hole in body... just maybe the most solid bass-stand in the world 😅
Wow I had no idea Joe played bass
Anyone can play bass. 😂
@@The_Funky_Horn of course they can with the new Joe Dart Teaches Slap Bass course!
Are you fakkin kidding me, mate? He's so good at it. All he needs now is a band.
i mean i think i'm one of the few persons who knew he plays bass, but i didn't know he speaks
@@The_Funky_Hornwhat?
“Chad was always light on the drums”
Yeah light on drums the way rick james was light on the coke
"Dainty"
@@jaketaylor7493In all fairness, it is one helluva drug. Lol
I love how Jack is the biggest cheerleader of all hia bandmates.
All he wants to do is show off
Thats quality leadership right there;)
@@McDoinky i would show off joe dart if he was in my band too bro what
In his own words he is the number one number two guy.
Jack is the man, every single time he interjected with a question, the following explanation from Joe shed a ton of light on what was going on. What an absolute legend!
he's the biggest cheerleader for his bandmates
I actually think Jack's slap tone is better than Joe's!
The sly “Will Smith brought back slap in general” quip was gold
I know we're all here for the free Joe Dart groove lessons, but I gotta say, seeing Jack get so locked in with what Joe is saying and playing makes me realize how seriously Jack takes learning music/respects Joe as a bass player (ofc). Love to see that side of him.
Every musician... - and any human wanting to claim himself as musican - should think like this about other bandmates...
Music band should be - a complex and beautifull hebrew word - „EHAD”, „ONE”, united (not exactly means „uniformited”), being interested, communicative and understandable about each other.
This is an essence of bandview of many world-famous musicians and bassists :)
...OR... He's trying to sell a Vulfpeck educational course... BUT, I like your reasoning better!! :)👍
@@WillyFranklinOnBass normally I’m inclined to agree, but when I think about Jack selling something, it’s always couched in so much irony and meme material - “No more government subsidies for active basses!” is prime Stratton marketing, but this Jack feels like the genuine music maker and not the figurehead of Vulf. Joe, on the other hand, totally has his marketing cardigan on though (in the best way!).
I'm not a bass player. But I tell you...if Jack Stratton brought out a 7 part series on how he mixes...I'd fork over $250 no worries.
@@Asp0321 I really did their stuff!! Very cool!! :)
I never knew the bass floats like that. Freaking cool.
If I spend $3,000 on a Music Man Joe Dart bass, that fucker better float!
it comes with many hours of practice on the joe dart bass
@@jj_verona every bass will be able to do this once there no more government subsidies for active basses
The bass can do anything Joe commands it to do.
That's what the pickups are for
dont forget neck movement back and forth is also important in learning Joe Dart bass technique 🙂
*Fig. 1a:*
-->😗
😗
Full Quagmire
Where was this fifteen years ago when I needed it the most? New musicians are so lucky.
Agreed
This is no excuse 😂
@@digitalrudimentor no I had to self teach myself because I lived in a rural area. All I could do as a teen was beg my dad to take me to the music store and hopefully get to ask a bass player how he's playing like that. Aside from that we only had books and pictures online. The point is musicians now have a place like youtube to learn and grow from instead of having to travel to the nearest city hoping to learn from some strangers in a Baileys Bros. To make a negative comment says a lot about yourself. Musicians should be positive and curious. Not cynical and bitter.
@@moustachio334 I never could afford instruments even tho I knew music was what I loved. I'm 30 and finally able afford things that make me happy and the first thing I did was buy a truck, the second was buying a bass and buying lessons online. I feel fortunate to have started at a time where so many resources are available but it hurts to know at my age there are tons of guys with decades of experience playing music.
@@annihilation777 don't feel bad because it's in the bass inside that counts
I do appreciate the love shown to Victor--the man's influence cannot be overstated!
The drummer from Vulf Conservatory is pretty good. You guys should consider hiring him full-time for the band.
Waiting for the section on “Groove Related Neck Injuries”
That does need to be included for real. I'm a high risk individual.
Jack and Joe have been playing together for so long but Joe still impresses the fuck out of Jack
The idea of Will Smith bring back slap bass in the modern context is hilarious
7:30 - "time spend... slapping" (...) "when I was in the highschool it was all that I wanted to do", precious, indeed
From what it looks like on the website, there could be more courses coming soon! I'm excited to see Woody teach jazz piano, Jack teach mixing, and Theo teach songwriting.
wow I'd be interested in those!
I mean, while I appreciate the talk and the look at Joe's bass playing, this is less of a "lesson" and more of a "look at me jam and fuck around and be better at bass than you'll ever be" while kind of saying, "you can learn this too, look up Marcus Miller/Wooten/all these other great bassists and then practice."
Not helpful.
I think it’s more of a lecture than a tutorial. Useful in the right context.
@@felleroerdere3351 This is just a small excerpt from the course, so take it with a grain of salt. This is also not intended for anyone new to bass playing, which is why it's a "300 level" course. I find this kind of lecture very helpful, it's not just "look at me".
Welp, my theories have been confirmed
I was learning the Cory wong bassfill, and the the vid dropped lol. Love you Joe you inspired me to start playing bass. Love from Denmark.
How far did you get with it?
This is an excellent lesson
czcams.com/video/uWqQbsTRAoM/video.html
@@joninawhitecoat that is the exact lesson I use. I've gotten so far that I can play it slowly
@@kesse_1204 Same here, It's a challenge that one. All the best.
That was completely wonderful thank you Joe , Jack and the Vulf Crew your all awesome =)
Larry and Les are the slap kings. Nobody cleaner.
marcus miller is also incredibly clean
@@La_sagne He is for sure. I toured with 2 Mexican Fender Signatures of his. One in burst and one in white. I still have them and use them in the studio.
I'm so stoked for this!!
I love how musicians inspire musicians. Flea inspired Joe. John inspires me. Joe inspires us all. Its magical
I get that this is supposed to be a lecture-type video, but I would really have liked to see close-ups of the techniques, and it might be better to have two or three cameras cutting back and forth between bassist and drummer? Thanks for putting this out there though for aspiring bassists!
Yeah, great content but leaving the camera on a tripod for a super wide shot ain't it.
I don't play bass - this is just fun to watch
I'm a huge fan of "Time Spent Slapping" by Joe Dart. Thanks Joe!
Shoutout to Chuck Rainey's use of the partition, another element along with Bernard Purdie's robust resume that made the Aja album a success
great first round. i think the buddy commentary works. for the second edition, would be good to incorporate that second camera with the hand close-ups. filling in with the verbal descriptions is good, but even cutting to a blurry vulfpeck extreme closeup would be more helpful.
Agreed.
Louis Johnson deserves a shout out here
Ok! I was skeptical at first but take my money Joe! This is 🔥
This isn't a course, its two awesome dudes having fun playing and talking about bass. Either way I'm here for it.
Well people are paying for it, so hopefully the full version feels like a course.
It’s like this for seven modules. Still cool, but more like a hang than a course.
Epic. So fun and light hearted. Love these dudes. Come to Virginia. Thanks 😎
it's mesmerizing to watch Joe slap for this long
These are all things that just come with time spent slapping. Hahaha understatement of the year. Joe you are a funk god, thanks for this video.
Love you so much Joe, a greatest inspiration to all the bassman's in the world
Thanks for making this single shot, no edits. 👍
Those quick hammer-ons are sooo cool!
Oh my god I thought it was just a sick bass lesson series but it's Joe and Jack riffing the entire way? Just bought it.
$250....
It's a fun party trick how jack can go from looking mid 30s to early 20s with some simple hair rearrangement.
This was the first thing I saw from Vulfpeck. I took up Bass right after and got to meet Joe at the Olllam last year :)
Ghost notes are EVERYTHING when slapping.
i like to do double thumb and the rebound of the string. It depends on what feels easier and sounds better in the context for me
so glad you shouted out peg, i love stealy dan
This is the bass equivalent of how to draw an owl . :)
welp you gotta practice to get good at anything
@@giocoso4576 Wise words .
This is great, to see them unedited.
great stuff. Joe is a badass for sure. All you guys in Vulf are pretty damn awesome IMHO. Keep it up you amazing music nerds!! (and I mean that in the best possible way)
Gotta love how chill this is.
This is the most aesthetic LOOKING lecture I've ever seen. Sounds good, too.
jack looookin fly AF. Joe lookin good ofc. Like the flatwounds on the Joe Dart 2 bass.
I love that bass stand
Leaving behind all the jokes, this is PURE GOLD.
Once again, I would listen to this man play bass all day
This guy is on another level, makes it look so easy.
Joe you're awesome for sharing your knowledge, Jack you're like something better than a muse or Ricky Ricardo.
FAWKIN' LEGENDARY TUTORIAL FROM THE VULF VAULT! 🎶🐻🙌
Jack being impressed by Joe's playing has to be a big highlight, I love it
I don't think i've heard Flea do the doodly doodly haha. Good lesson, loved it, and that Jack was asking questions.
Espetacular! Obrigado!
This is very nice 🙏🏾
Great stuff. Hoping they consider shooting some close ups in the future. The wide shot with the empty podium in full view is great, but yeah, some variety would be nice.
For sure. That is what students NEED in instructional videos. I am surprised that they don't have it in these.
My thoughts exactly, I wanna zoom in and see this in high def slo mo
@@AIP404 Yes, I see that now, and glad that they posted this video to help us see what the content is like.
SKY MALL! the slap in that vulf tune is next level
okay but Jack just like lovingly gazing at joe and supporting his boi
This is my favorite video ever
Excellent.
For the love of god, do more of these videos.
The color coordination going on here is top notch, welcome to brown town where the sound is as thick as a big brown mound 🎉
If there ever was a Movie about Boz Scaggs, Joe Dart should play the leading role and using this same outfit , hair and shades.
I thought the same thing.
@@johnmurrensmagicalworldofb7705 Now we start campaign for such a movie. Backed up by Vulfenthal Goldwyn Mayer 21 century movies Inc.
Low low low looooooooooooowwwwwdowwwn
I love this bass holder 😄
9:16 that was gold Mr. Dart
The slap hammer-on sound being personified around 7:30 is more Les Claypool than Victor
My wife is gonna buy the course for me .)
Thanks
A moment of appreciation for the Professor Dart fit
Joe is a national treasure.
Mark King of Level 42 ! It's in all of their pop songs...
I like that they have it on a stand.
really digging jacks new hairdo/sideburns, very groovy
Jack is the ultimate super fan for Joe, he even went so far as to play in his band
Don’t forget about Paul Turner when he plays “Canned Heat” live in Verona. One of my favorite Slap grooves.
This is very cool & illuminating as well! By the way Stratton's triplet example reminds me a MarKingish approach that he doubles up in his typical flashing & unique slap tecnique.
yup, learned slap on flea and higher ground also walking on down the road and a lot of stuff off of BSSM.
Also claypool and my name is mud etc
Marcus does indeed save the slap on Just the Two of Us until after Grover's solo break. Let's it build.
Hell Yeah, Mr. DART on the EAD&G.
I dig the single take
ah it's so nice chatting with you guys
Chuck throwin' up that partition. Those who know, know.
Donald and Walter found out.
thanks Joe.
i never in my wildest dreams thought i'd hear a will smith slap joke from the members of vulfpeck
Jack's Bill O'Reilly reference at 10:18 Really cracks me up "We'll do it Live!"
Man that partition reference got me chucklin, sounds like we've all been swimming in the same steely Dan CZcams algorithm soup
Yeah!!!! Thanks for the slap Will !!!
Les Claypool uses the hammer on technique Jack mentioned a lot. Look at him play my name is mud live.
Also American Life
thank you
This is a fun video. There were some good slap moments in 80s pop. Duran Duran has a few songs with a bit of it. Tears For Fears has a slap solo on "Shout."
Jack is the TA of this class
Joe Punches bass playing in the nuts. Awseome bassist!
Jack Stratton: Part Time Vulf CEO, Full Time Joe Dart Brand Manager & Publicist.
I love how they always sneak in the chuck Rainey quote 🤣🤣
This video lives down to my expectations of Joe Dart.
