- Ok… let’s talk GOSPEL CHOPS!
We’ve all heard epic gospel players such as Sharay Reed, Justin Raines and Fred Hammond tearing it up with those crazy sounding gospel bass fills…
And let’s get it straight… we ALL want to get those into our playing, right?! ;)
Well, in this lesson I’m going to show you:
How to work those gospel style bass fills into your playing
2 scales you can use to achieve that gospel sound
And an AWESOME exercise that will enable you to get your hammer-ons and pull-offs together (this is a big deal for getting the correct feel within your gospel style bass fills)
Ok… question for you guys…
Who are your favourite gospel bass players… and what albums with them playing on should I check out? As you can imagine… I’m a TOTAL bass nerd and love finding out about what and who you guys are listening too… make sure you let me know by leaving a comment below the video!
As always, see you in the shed…
Scott :)
PS. If you’re going to be coming along to the London Bass Show this weekend (March 4th and 5th) I’m going to be there with the SBL team… plus we’re going to have our own room and will be running 4 workshops per day with SBL faculty members such as Cody Wright, Zoltan Dekany, Steve Lawson, Phil Mann, Chris May, Stefan Redtenbacher, Geoff Chalmers… and me!
We’re also going to have a meet up on each day too at 3.30pm around the cafe within the show…
It’d be amazing to meet you… so if you’re coming along, grab me and say hi!

"They exclude the seventh a lot of the time..."
That's because in the world of gospel, you rest on the seventh. ;-)
lol... Can't believe it took me a while to get that...
neuralprobe hahaha, happy Sabbath!
I see what you did there
That took me a really long time to get. Good on you sir.
Sooo going to use this one.
I hear that pajama pants improve your tone by 50%! Now you just need the deep V-neck shirt to go with them!
Pentecostal Pentatonics, what a concept!
Illuminati confirmed!
Ha! Good stuff Scott 👍🏾
More gospel bass pretty please. I have learned so much from your academy, Scott. I play bass at my church and it would be helpful to hear how gospel bassists navigate contemporary Christian and gospel music since there are usually no bass lines, per se, in the songs. The keyboards have a ton of chords to play and the low end is just keeping up with the roots. At lease that's where I am.
Anyway, it would be great to get some insight.
we're the same, I learn a lot from scott and help me grow as a bass player. I also play bass at the church.
Michele Pollard I'm actually just starting to play for my church and I've discovered that I have sooo much to learn. Have any suggestions?
Try learning to any bass player that you encounter. adapt whatever useful they are doing and specially find a good bass player mentor who knows what they are doing. and practice, practice, practice.
_Fractal _ I have learned a lot from Scott's Bass Lessons and loads of other people on CZcams. Of course practice is how younger better, but I have found that playing what you practice is essential. By that, I mean try new things in your playing and venture away from starting on the root.
you could try triads instead of just roots
You could have called this video 'pentatonic scales with hammer-ons and pull-offs' but you didn't. A sign of a great educator, someone who has a purpose as the core of every lesson. Thanks for this, Scott.
I think I have watched the sharay reed gospel video 20-30 times, so crazy awesome!!
Dwayne "D.W" Wright and Thurman "Peanut" Woods both are great gospel bassists everyone should check out if you like Sharay.
J Pineda oh yes no doubts
You're doing a lesson with Adam Neely?! Amazing!
boooo
Lol ;)
Scott's Bass Lessons
This made my day.
I mean, who's this Adam Neely nodody?
Totally not fangirling right now, no sir
*Bass* (proximity effect)
Oh my! Adam Neely!
Don't forget the legend Abraham Laboriel. :)
Yes!
That's more CCM but it's still good stuff
joshua buesa im just about to tell the same thing! 😎
I don't know much, but Abraham Laboriel is a legend in my opinion... check out Ron Kenoly's 90's albums like God is Able or Sing Out
Scott never gives up on us. Great maestro
I would have to say Maurice Fitzgerald on John P Kee's "Strength" album, he's the real deal.
holy hell man, you are amazing. i have learned more in 10 of your videos than in 6 years of self study.
Darrell Freeman on the Marvin Sapp album "I Win" 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 especially on the song "Glory"
Yeessss i waited for some Gospel stuff to appear on you channel!
Thanks Scott,great content, and with a smile on your face, as always:)
My bass tutor Matt has played on various gospel records, and he plays this kind of thing in Church all the time. He's really good.
You just pulled up every the gospel video of bass lines i been trying to learn in the past month lol
As a member of your lessons. Can you have a meet and greet while you are here in NYC? Please!
Bill Lawrence played gospel for choirs in Detroit for years, now with the Funkdawgs. Amazing player.
You're a cool brother from another mother! Nice touch bro.
Great lesson, let me add just one thing, it is that the main character of the pentatonic is that it doesnt has any semitones, in fact the notes you extract from mayor/minor are the ones that cause semitones to appear. So the gospel/bluessy/juicy thing comes in when you add them, of course it depends on where you do that what type of feel you get, so experiment adding semitones to the pentatonics to find interesting things.
Yet another vote for Andrew Gouche. Unbelievable player.
If you want gospel bass fills look up Morgan Turner
noice, I've literally been waiting a couple year for this. gospel players are the best. Sharey Reed in particular.
I’m just finding this now in 2022 and I have been looking for a good explanation of the bones of gospel bass. Thanks a ton for the work you did 5 years ago!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I'm new to gospel bass -thanks for the amazing lesson!!
Grew up playing gospel bass and it really helped my feel. My kiddo is getting more and more into bass and is starting to get that smooth, funky feel.
I so appreciate you Scott
Awesome teaching 🎶❤️
Thanks so much
The tone on that bass is excellent
mrmxyssptlck opinion
I like it too
Gospel's getting love
Thank you so much Scott. You are the best Teacher with a lovely english accent. I'm learning soo much from you. It's a real pleasure to listen to you. You can make my day even after hard work in the office.
33 people dislike this video?!?!? UNBELIEVABLE! This dude has got it.....much respect brother ✊🏾
The 33 are bass haters
I just knew what the first clip would be LOL. That riff is legendary.
look up Andrew Gouche for gospel as well
Evan Butts Gouche is the greatest
Agreed!
Johnatan Maron, Yes! Saw him with Meshell and with Groove Collective. I'm a fan since 1996!
Wow!!! I never realized the things i did before could be used like this! You just helped opened my playing by far. Thanks SOOOO MUCH SCOTT!!!
WE DON'T NEED NO BASS album by The master Andrew Gouché... Thanks Scott for hooking us up with yet another awesome video!!
Yes! I've been waiting for this lesson, Scott. And because no gigs tonight... I'm in my pyjamas!
Thanks for this Scott! I play in a worship band on Sunday mornings and I have been trying to figure out what these guys are doing, Justin Raines especially. They play laid back and then do a super-fast fill that I haven't been able to decode. Now I know where to start! Bless you, bro!
Love ur love for bass playing Scott!! Thanx and more gospel please!
My favorites: Gouche on Bebe Winans album "Cherch"... Thaddeus Tribbet with Tye... Tommy Brown on CLC Choir "Only What u do For Christ" and Louisiana All State Youth Choir "I'm Saved"... Tommy is the best "unrecognized" gospel bass player imho... and of course many others...
omg. You pulled the bass off?! It sounds like you had a pretty special and intimate relationship with this bass.
I like your attitude and friendly delivery style in smile....great tnx
A great 3-4 lesson plan on the Academy (of which I'm a member) would be a couple gospel/worship bassists in while in NYC or home in the UK for how Bass fit in worship. Would be AWESOME! And I'm a member so yea I'd love that!
Awesome little riff/exercise. Thank you for posting- I'm looking forward to going back through your videos and learning much, much more.
Jesus bless u .. I'm learning so much from u ..
When are you gonna come to Brazil, Scott? Please, think about that! Lots of fans here!
Thanks Scott for the Gospel Lesson , all the others. You've really helped me out a lot .. as a Former Drummer .. Now Bass Player I really am advancing in all my Technics , Skills , Nowledge of Scales , Modes , Theory .. and much more .. I have been fortunate to have Worked with some Great Musicians in L.A. on Drums that also Embrace me as I have done the Transition to Bass. So Thank You .. keep the Videos Coming , Keep On Smiling, Rocking.
Stevie
Thanks Scott. Again...another awesome tutorial. You helped me decipher those riffs that I've been struggling for eons trying to figure out. CHEERS!!
Ok, Scott and thank you!
man, often I think 'what's the point, I suck anyways and have no talent on this', but your teaching stuff is the only reason I haven't sold my bass yet.
Thank you so much scott!! I was able to play what I didn't think I would ever be able to do. I am only about 1 1/2 years in, and I can play stuff like this, just not as fast. You know how I was able to play this? Scott and PRACTICE. I practice about an hour to 2 hours every day.
Best exercise!
Nice lesson that even intermediate players can put in their toolbox
I like the licks. Kudos
Another great lesson and explanation. Loving the membership!
Thanks Scout for posting this, big help with my bass grooves!
I love Jermaine Morgan, he's a great bass player. I also admire Allan Snoop Evans ... sensational.
Pants/10
Lol... pow! ;)
I like your teaching style
This video, ALL of your video are so helpful. A great mixture of down-to-earth and WOW. I only recommend your videos.
Thank you.
Check out and subscribe to my Channel(Basscoversimulation),I will soon come up with Bass Covers with Play along Tabs.
Thank you but in the UK 'poaching' on someone else's feed is considered bad manners. Best regards.
Josh Ham of Planetshakers :D
man im a guitar player but i still watch most or you videos... i find them really helpfull
Wow, I have to comment again! This is exactly what I needed, geez....your the only one who can explain this stuff for "at least me" to understand!! I finally can move on, seeing this in context with an explanation is exactly what I needed!!
Thanks Mr. Pajama pants!! (With the upmost respect;)
Scott always so funny. my God. I love to watch your movie my dear friend!!!!
You know Scott; thx to your channel I discovered Joe Dart, which in its turn made me pick up the Bass. Again. Greatly inspired. So now I'm "Back-in-the-Saddle-again" developing my playing. So many thanks to your choices of inspiration - Gospel bassists really kicks some *ss😝👍😇
Scott, your videos are incredible. Thank you , endlessly for your content.
Scott man, you are a hero, full on legend!!
that's a reeeallly old video of Sharay Reed!!! haha I love Fred Hammond!! He's one of the best!!!
Thumbs up for the PJs!!!!!
Really enjoy this lesson. I think, technically, it's the most useful lesson i've ever seen on YTB.
Fantastic lesson. Thank you so much Scott.
Trying this Sunday. Great tip!
Wow! I wish I can play this bass someday!!
You are a great teacher Scott. Thanks for this!
This is like Ms. Patti LaBelle bass playing!! YES!!! (I don't expect anyone to get that) Thanks Scott, loved the vid!!
❤💞🌈 Thank You Scott, God bless you for sharing your talent with kindness and love :)
Can you analyze for us the bass lines in the clip (BASS SESSIONZ VOL. 3 (Full DVD) Justin Raines, Kaybass Diggs, Daric Bennett, and Alan "Snoop" Evans) at line: 1:28:33
I did add the add10 sounds pretty cool
question about sliding with your leading finger versus your trailing one. do you ever find yourself getting caught by sliding with the finger in front (i.e: pinky on the way up, index on the way down)? is there an advantage of sliding with the leading finger?
Cool lesson
The pajamas were awesome!
All This Time and Finally You do Gospel Licks !Keep It Up Mann!!!
I really find very useful the tips on your scales and fills videos!! thanks for this!!
You are the coolest guy to learn from! Classic🖒🖒🖒

thank you so much scott ive learned so much from you as a gospel player here in sc. but i would like to see more goepel bass sections. because i can utilize majority of the lessons but its hard to fit it in a gospel feel if you know what i mean
