Sean is one of my favorite, everyone he records or plays with says he is the real deal and a gentleman to boot...
To boot? Like when he gets the boot?
@@adamdixon6326 Adam, the word "boot" is used as a slang in America's past. Meaning extra or also,
Heck, even I as a Norwegian know that 🙂
Be prepared. Know you stuff.
Don't waste other people's time.
Be a nice chap, fit in, be low key and go with the flow.
Yes, we all watched the video
@@ileutur6863 he summarized it so you dont need to watch it :) thx @marc blum
I was just going through this course last night. It is fantastic. He shares a ton of practical good advice.
Awesome interview!!!
I'd add to this: Depending on your situation, turn down sessions with known a-holes or people you know you won't work well with. Certain personalities just don't belong together in a work situation. Avoid negative issues when you can.
Recently did this with a drummer. Could have gotten me some good gigs but... he would only want me to listen to him and never put my voice in, and he was just a straight up asshole.
@@joepollockbass
Been there, done that😁
Just beautiful. At 7 minutes when he's talking about looking out for the drummer, hey man he's maybe got 15 takes in him... real pro.
Great tips there
excelente video💣💣🙌🙌
through composed is so important for bass because in any genre the bass generally doesn't stop. The page if full and it's hard to find repeats, D.S., codas...
Totally agree
Great course at SBL
excellent vidoe thank you
The most important one is the one 85% miss… being able to transcribe
IS Sean Hurley related to Paul Mccartney? The mannerism is so similar. 😀
Facial expressions, hand gestures, it's all there. The only thing missing is a wink!
Good advice.
Playing with Five for Fighting right now!
I'm starting to amass a good amount of pedals and found myself tracing the route of cables for minutes just trying to practice. Was the first time I thought to myself, I may finally need to setup a pedalboard 🤣
It really does help!
Oh man, being able to set my pedal board down and plug into it is so awesome. I highly recommend it.
Side note... I had a guitar player that was horrified by my love of pedals. Naturally, I put as many on as I could fit whether I used them or not just to catch him standing over it scowling lol. He referred to my pedal board as "the abomination" haha.
do a begginer advice video for begginer whom want to start recording, like what to focus. thanks great videos SBL.
They have a course on that on a website
@@Wall-n-Moats oooooh thanks for the info
To Mark Blum(see below): what you have written about the best way to do a session, is also great advice on how to get along with others in general in “everyday life.”esp. when they seem a lot “different” than you. And you will “feel a whole lot better” too. Thanks.
@devinebass Ian, do you have anything that talk about what you have on that pedalboard you showed?
Great vid, focus on adaptability
he got me since i saw that p-bass with flats...
What is that switch you have on the stomp at the beginning!?
🎉
Wat is that 4 and 5 pedal on the helix???? I think that is what I’m looking for!
Pedalnetics
@@IanMartinAllison THANKS i'm now waiting till it comes XD
What’s your DI pedal , Ian??
On this little board I’m using the Jad Freer Capo.
My brother learned it the hard way but people in the industry remember if you are a prick. He is a professional musician but it was a tough road for him because he had an inflated ego. He expected to show up to Nashville or LA and play what he wanted (guitarist and engineer) and 10 years later he was struggling to find gigs and was doing what he least wanted to do which was play for Christian ensemble singing records ... He eventually choked his humble pie down and is finally getting session opportunities with people he wants to play for. His ego was unfortunately inflated because he had toured with a well known pop act and thought that was his meal ticket to employment but then he realized he had to stand in line with the other 1,000 plus players looking for the same gigs in that city.
Cool stuff straight from the horse's mouth. Is that an Fender Antigua green P bass you got there?
I just noticed that Scott sounds like Stewie Griffin
[breaks string]
i'm never going to financially recover from this
This is the most bass player shit I’ve ever heard!
🙌🏼
😇🕺🏾👌🏾Bakithi brought me to this channel, massive content you got Ian.
Please checkout the Zimbabwean Sungura/Rumba Instrumental style, you will love it.
How many times are you going to re-churn this?
IPAD/tablet + fast IREAL encoding skills = no pen no clutter no paper no mess.
He both looks and sounds like American Paul McCartney hahahah
Another rule: Turn the volume off on your phone. Don’t be that guy.
Why is no. 1 a "tip"? I always thought of this as fairly obvious and a no-brainer... Those who use loose pedals are usually those who use at most 2 pedals which changes at every or every other gig.
Great video, but OH MY GOD Ian, why are you repeating what Sean is saying a second later? Let him talk ;)
Where is the bathroom?
where'd he get that mute?
Think that’s his signature p, not sure if it’s a part of the bridge or a seperate piece of hardware
it's the same mute, I think, that was fitted to the jaguar/jazzmaster & which is missing from my bass VI. never seen one on a precision before.
Loving the unsolicited advice from all the weekend warriors in the comments who've 100% never been called to do a session, and never will be. Hahahah!
At least they don't waste time playing other people's music
@@ileutur6863 Huh? Guarantee they're all in cover and/or wedding bands that they take super seriously.
@@stanley-fghijk441 in that case I agree, but in general I tend to value worse musicians who write their own music more than impeccable professionals that just end up buried under some artist's overproduced song
I used to be a fan but I subscribed to the 14 days trial account and I want to cancel it and the system doesn't allow me to do it, this is super scammy, stay away from this
the interjections between Sean's points are very annoying - just let the expert talk...
