In the clip from New Dimensions in Bass, Rock House instructor and Bass guitar legend Doug Wimbish talks about the Role of the Bass Player. www.RockHouseMethod.com - Hudba
You are right. In Jazz the bass is usually more prominent than the guitar even. In funk, progressive, and jam band the bass is the heart of the music.
You'd be surprised at the number of 'bass players' NEED this kind of lesson!
Excellent little video! It is always said how slaps and pops go with the bass drum and snare, but in this video you really hear how well they fit together. Thanks guys!
Doug always says, it is what you don't play that makes the difference. MUSIC NEEDS SPACE!! that is an old school rule!
Awesome, simple lesson, good stuff
yup im playin bass for a few bands right now and having switched from guitar recently it kinda concreted the direction i was going in practice. im also working on my high end fills and runs...tie the guitars n with the drums
the point is that the lesson is on locking in with the drummer. It is the bassist job to help hold the band together!
owsom dude!! you play owsom!!
Yeah, HammondB200 is right, the bass he's playing in this video is a Spector, not sure which model though....
@dragonzith
That was an Envelope Filter
Cool - was Will in Living Color?
what is that blue guitar at 2:15 ?
Will calhoun is probably one of the top 5 drummers in the world, Everyone and I mean every one across genres seek to work with him. What you don't get is that in this video he is not here to lay it on, he is lending support sof Doug can give the lesson.
Amazing how little you understand!
i was wondering that too lol
@dylankickyoazz no shit, i love it when a guitarist says its easy to play bass
I do sometimes.. kind of
I read somewhere he uses Spector.
ahh, insightful indeed, i am buying a bass tomorrow!
good point. Thing is lol Living Colour are incredibly well educated and talented musicians to go !
No. The Original Bassist is Muzz Skilings. Doug joined in 1993 If I'm not mistaken
is Doug the the Original bass player for Living Colour
@dylankickyoazz nothing wrong with guitar. I happen to play bass, drums and guitar, and by saying guitars r the "wrong instrument" is ignorant on ur part. We guitar players can't hold the band down like u do alone, and I respect that. We need u. But check out Prince. He's a brilliant bass player, and an amazing guitar player. In an R&B, Funk, hip hop, and blues setting, he has to hold himself down, and his guitar playing is like the roof that's like insurance for his grooves. Prince is a legend.
I tried to do that thing he does at :27 during a jam one time. My drummer looked at me in disgust lol
CARVIN.
@lesclaypoolsob i sure can sympathise with that..
LOLLL so true!!!!! My guitar player friend has been playing for 6 years but doesn't know any music theory.
@lesclaypoolsob Best reply on youtube EVER!
why haven't John Frusciante and Doug Wimbish gotten together yet?
Yeah, I was like "OWTF?!?!? COOL!"
because the Universe has we know it will change forever :)
the bass is the most important instrument. it controls the harmony and timing. the drums are suppose to follow the bass
00:27 what da hell was that? 0_0!! how to do?
yeah, this is his own model.
that is any bass player in any musical setting
ah he slappin da BASS!
HOOTIE HOO!
He scratches the round wound strings with his thumbnail.
tell your band that the bass is a very important part in any type of music. It has to be hear by everybody.
CAching! OWNED! Very true lol
lolin my band they say the bass volume needs to be below the guitar and the drums and is called background music
WTF
I think I saw this on netflix
choco mocha caramel with a little cream
Spector is the main brand he plays, but this one is an Ibanez
not always...
. the code wont even work!
Wats that meant to mean!?
Ibanez
Lmao nice
hilarious because it's true
@lesclaypoolsob XD no thats the drummers job XD
I thought the bass player's role was to teach the guitarist all the musical theory that he/she never bothered to learn.
dj bassist
Yeah man, so the drummer and guitarist qualify for the carpool lane.
you need to get into the "wood shed" and work together. or get a new drummer
Ryanvbon "Whats the point of that ?" its called the GROOVE not enough players value this. Obviously your one of them that doesnt.
This excellent groove calls for a dancing chick to be used in the vid.
Erika Eleniak should be dancing in a thong in front of you guys while jammin.
Course my role as the lead guitarist is to teach our bassist how to play his damn instrument. *sigh*
you're not Doug Wimbish
Wimbish is a great player. Too bad he's wearing that horrible Pistons jersey...yikes! ;-p
Anyway, I thought the rockhouse series was long dead. Guess not!
typical lead guitar player, sigh!
