- Jazz seems to be the flavor of the month for my practice routine right now. Today I'm working with some ii-V-I vocabulary, and talking about my process, and how I try to get inside a master musicians playing as much as possible, and then forget about it completely.

Hey Janek, are there any Videos of you playing rhythm changes? I would love to see your approach
if there was an A-type personality award, Janek would probably win it :D
I love the vocal phrasing. New to Bass and love your content.
Nice playing on those lines in the beginning! Sweet morning coffee stuff.
Man, keep on doing what you do. I'm loving it!
Janek this video is so honest!! Thank you. This is inspiring. Keep singing 😄
I find your falsetto singing to your bass melodies so signature and it's so dope! It's awesome, Janek. :D
In fact I started to copy it, and I enjoy it, it really helps indeed.
Great video, I really love your musical style! Could listen to you soloing for days on end!
I'm currently trying to get your right hand technique down. It does take a while to get used, but it feels a lot more natural and healthy, so I'll keep at it.
Btw, i always liked your singing. It makes these videos more personal and "intimate". And It does really help with phrasing a lot! It certainly helped me control the "widdle".
Thank you for keeping me motivated to practice!
Stay safe and best wishes!
J ,..I love how you are so honest about your self,...thanks
My first true jazz experience was seeing Bill Evans Trio, I was 10 ft from Eddie Gomez and he was singing every note,...by the way you sound nice!!
Beautiful. Could listen all day :)
Dig your videos as always and keep doing you. Thanks to this video, I gave singing what I’m soloing a try and I like it! Cheers
it's super melodic, thanks
very motivational, im going to practice for 6 hours straight now wml
My former teacher always taught me to write lines by singing them rather than just starting to play, for exactly those reasons you mention. In addition, it prevents you from just playing things because they within physical reach.
Yeah can you please do a video series on Rhythm Changes, walking and soloing! Please!!!
Just watched this again and reminded me of a comment I heard a few weeks ago by Warren Haynes " if you can't sing it, don't play it"
Hi Janek! Why do you sing when you play? Hahaha I'm just kidding! Love how you play! You've inspired me to play 2 years ago. Keep being an inspiration to many others!
Hi Janek, i just got your II-V-I Book and i loved it. Currently im giving it 1 hour just for the book and i feel its helping me and its super fun. Do you think 1 hour is good enough for the book? thank you.
Hey Janek!!Love your videos and am also a pedal fan! I guess you might like the Mantic Flex pedal!!!Check it if you havent already!
Love from Russia
Janek, Here is an idea for a video or book. When watching bassists solo such as Hadrien Feraud or Junior Braguinha I notice that at certain tempos they play lines in 16th note triplets. The way they play these lines however sounds like 4 against 3. The illusion is as though they are in 4/4 at a faster tempo but not as fast as double time. Perhaps you can share some of your thoughts on this subject. Thanks and be blessed!!!
love the noise mumbles and singing along...keep doin...
Where can i get this shirt?
Yeah, I've been trying to find it as well, but no luck D:
Hey Janek, how do you get this acoustic guitar sound ? Pedal or hélix stomp ?
At 3m30s
C'est juste son son normal avec sa basse chambrée avec un don aigu, son action relativement haute et son toucher qui vient de sa technique à la guitare accoustique. Il y a un micro qui capte aussi le son accoustique de la basse, donc t'as les deux. Le seul effet c'est une compression et un delay très léger.
is there a piezzo in the bridge ?
I thank it may be he's using very light gauge of bass strings that gives it that light guitar feeling
@@samuelmccoy5505 No, he actually stated that he uses heavy gauge, steel strings. Anyways, try using a light c string on a 6 string and you'll realize it does not sound guitar-like because the string has got way more tension, it just sounds thin and unmelodic imho
I think Kurt always have a mic and mix his vocal onto his guitar effect or something..cmiiw
Can you go back to basics for us more elementary players?
In particular how a player with limited jazz vocabulary is able to get started...
Or, in my case, restarted, after losing his mojo, with family and life taking hold over the years.
Sorry, if this is a painful request?
And you can make as much singing 'noise' as you wish. You're brilliant at what you do.
Hey man. Sounds awesome. Serious question, why not just play guitars? The power of the bass lies in playing the part. Proving a solid, deep pocket, low end.
For a modern bass player, it's often a needed skill set to be able to both solo and groove. So, you practice the craft of both and this is a out stemming of that(at least that's my regional-talent bass player take on it).
