Your enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you!
Thanks for watching 🙂
What an analysis!!!! :) Thanks Bob, thanks Open Studio for the amazing lessons!!
Yes, great! And for Sax and flute too!
Thanks for watching!
Sounds good, Bob! 🎵🎶🎵🙂
Great, Bob! In which songs (standards) do we have this Maj#11 sound?
Try Black Narcissus by Joe Henderson!
Many thanks Bob for this wonderful tutorial. It's absolutely clear and very inspiring. In addition, this can be adapted to any level of proficiency on the bass. That's a great way of making progress.
The Em pentatonic works really fine to bring up this F lydian sound.
Would you also do some tutorial on using pentatonics on (plain or altered) dominant chords?
Thanks for watching and commenting Partick! Great suggestion - the pentatonic scale is so versatile and I'd love to dig into how to use them on Dom7 chords.
Alternate fingering for the first lick: Do it in thumb position. Start with thumb on the G.
Fine suggestion, and I started off doing it that way as well. I found it easier (and sounded better) when it was time to shift down to the 'b' on the D string a bit easier if I wasn't in thumb position though (and I wasn't feeling the whole lick in thumb position really, due to the sound/tone differences). Always multiple paths. Thanks!
Great concept and lesson, thanks again Bob!
thanks for watching!
Excellent work as always, thumbs up!! 05:44 I'm saving this phrase for a concert in china :-)
I forwarded to all the bassists i know and jammed once upon a space/time 🤩👍
😉 that's awesome. Thanks Stretch!
Super Appreciate you!!!
Thxu🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks Alfonso!
Nice practice routines. I found myself going across strings more than you did for some of those licks to stay in position however.
Yep, that works too of course. I found at the speed we were shedding that it sounded better to shift. But with the speed factor staying in thumb position would make more sense. Depends on the key as well. Thanks for the comment!
Could be cool if you upload a video of the backing track for us to do this on our own to. Thanks so much for the lesson.
Thanks for watching! I made backing tracks that go along with the pdf here. Free. Just click that link in description.
@@bobdeboo8549 Thank you!
Hi. I really enjoy making these videos, and am always interested in hearing suggestions for what to cover next. Any ideas you'd like to see here???
I'm impressed by how you know exactly and effortlessly where you are time-wise in terms of the 4/4 backing track, starting at the right place (e.g.: the '3-and' on lick#1) without apparently even thinking about it at all. That is a big weakness of mine: I get lost/don't sense where the hell I am within a bar or set of bars.
Maybe a video could expand on this inner 'time anchor' that you seem to have? Thanks!
Hi, Bob. Your teaching is clear and helpful. I'd be interested to hear you explain how a bassist might create improvised slash chords in a way that sound interesting and expand on a written harmony.
@@gregdouras8796 thanks for the comment Greg! Interesting idea for a video indeed. I'll have to think on how to do that, but it's a tactic that we as bassists do use and can cause some really great colors to pop out. Thanks again!
@@wonder6789 thanks for watching and for the comment. Yes indeed, I am always interested in improving my rhythm and sense of time. Have you seen my previous video 'how deep is your beat?' Might be a bit of what you're looking for. Thanks and take care.
@@bobdeboo8549 Thank you!
Curious as to how you created the backing track.
@Punch Down King iReal pro is genius.
Hi John. Yep, iRealPro for the win again. I use it often to shed changes to original music as well since it's so easy to create unique tracks - even with odd meters and different feels. Perhaps I should do a video on how I use it sometime?
Thanks guys. Sounds much better than BIaB... maybe just that particular track...Unfortunately I'm a PC user.
