This is such a great video! I've watched it probably 4 times. Great information, very motivating for me. Expertly produced! Thanks!

thank you

That was fun :)

I'm a guitar player and found this very useful 🙏🙏

How about eye of the hurricane, ron carter from the maiden voyage record....scott lafaro on israel with bill evans...would love to hear you're approach to these

Fantastic lesson as always x

It would be helpfull if you would split the notes and show fewer measures bigger…

Pure gold for the young bassists looking for some answers on this crucial jazz form. Well done

Thanks!!! Once again! I love the detailed takes on learning these simple tunes, it’s, as you pointed out, the details and variations that really make it happen… and feel and tone … ;-)

Great! Thanks!

Thanks great tips!

The first example in your PDF is Sam Jones on big P. Is that that live recording from Europe? Could you point out where exactly this chorus is taken from?

Actually, there aren't many videos on "2-feel" and even if there were, your videos are of an unbeatable quality, regardless! Thank you for that!

Thank you for this lesson and for all the others, they’re really well made and professionally designed 🔥

Thanks for doing it! The best channel for Jazz bass on UA-cam for sure!

Great video! From an historical viewpoint, the real game changer that would lead to the possibility that The Sidewinder would even exist was James Brown's 1964 monster hit, Out Of Sight, a true before-and-after moment.

Wow, what a great lesson. Thanks Matt!

Perfect timing, someone called it for a Sunday gig coming up, talk about lucky

Thanks for the vid and the download. Nice to hear attention paid to the subtleties and variations. (Such things are often overlooked or ignored.) I remember reading somewhere that when recording the album the band was short of one number. Lee Young disappeared for 20 minutes at one point, and everyone assumed that he was shooting up drugs in the toilets. He reappeared having conjured up The Sidewinder, so it was entirely new to them. The bass player said at the end of his solo he'd forgotten the riff he'd been playing before it, so they had to stop and re-record the closing section. Amusing and interesting that out of such messy circumstances great music is magically produced.

Thank you, Matt!

Hello Matt, sometimes I use bebop songs and try to work my scales with the same rhythm...it works well too. I was wondering if you made a video on pizz because sometimes when I play a gig I have the hand that stiffens, I try to relax it, to find an exercise to work at home for this problem, it may be a gestural problem

That's gold, Matt, pure gold! Having only casually listened to the song before, and trying to remember it on that basis, of course I ended up playing the Db and Gb in those Eb7 and Ab7 chords... Should never make that mistake again! 🙂 But a thought occurred to me... How much do you think the fact that you get the open strings when playing D and G instead of Db and Gb factored in his note choice? To casual listener it does not make much difference, but makes the playing so much more natural, especially if you play in the half-position, and of course the leading tone works well.

Excellent

Great stuff as usual! 👏👏

I’m pretty new at learning stand up bass I’ve played violin and guitar for 50years What I’ve found is keeping it simple and then improvise , thanks good job 👍

This is awesome thank you

Best jazz bass teacher on YT.

Fantastic advice on daily practice. I do have a passion for the bass but i lack guidance. Too much information could be mind blowing. As Ron said Find a Teacher period. Basically i am self taught and sometimes my journey seems very frustrating but my love for the bass and music just keep me going 🙏

hi matt - is there a pdf? i cannot find it. thx!,!

I had been scouring around for Sir Ron's hip lines on Miles Smiles' Footprints. You addressed a lot of key issues. I mean to get down to looking at your analysis. Never realized Ron took so many liberties with not following the turnaround structure. The Reggie Workman lines may be more my speed after all. Honestly, it's hard in my circle to find folks not married to the dumbed-down Real Book changes.

Thank you, Matt!

Amazing lesson Matt, thank you so much!

wow Matt,now you can read my mind: I was waiting for this.Thanks as usual for your love and passion doing this for us.This channel is pure gold and you are a master goldsmith.

Great video lesson as always.I have to sight read in a few weeks for jazz auditions at my school. And came back to watch this video for inspiration and to get an idea on how to practice this skill with the time I have left!! 👍💪🏻

LOVE this material....playing my Bass and Cello along to it. SOLID STUFF MATT...appreciate what you do for the Bass community.

Very nice sound. 💙

Just the video I needed right now! Thanks Matt.

This is gold!!!

I came here for the left hand technique on the piano. I told my teachers that I want to master my triads before I get into other techniques, and they agree. This is out of my pay grade, but I'll be back since this really made sense.

I play electric bass, but your lessons are very important to me. Thank you.

Amazing video. Thanks from Spain.

Would you add the gamification link in the description? Thank you. Outstanding job here. I have a lot of work to do, the idea of classifying and than randomly choosing from a priority list is great, it cut down the time for choosing the daily exercise and in the long term probably will guarantee you practice with the right balance almost everything you need to improve. Gamification is the way, universally recognised as the main learning tool. I will use this a lot. Monday priority one, Tuesday priority three, Wednesday priority two, Thursday priority one Friday priority two. Saturday and Sunday priority one again.

I must say, my double bass playing has definitely improved since I discovered your channel. You're one of the best to do it. Keep doing what you're doing. 👍🏿

Lots of helpful and useful ways to practice scales... Thanks so much!! 😊

You sir are a certified badass a True Master of bass😮

Thank you 🙏🏻.

This was fantastic. Thank you.

Yea man! Thank you for this is super helpfull i wish there was more videos like this, loved your tune btw :)

Awesome material as usual. Thank you so much for these videos!

These are the best lessons on UA-cam, next-level type of conversations and right where I need to get my head at. Much appreciated
