- Good technique isn't the ability to play fast, it's the facility to eloquently express a musical idea in real time. The stronger your muscles are in this discipline, the greater the musician you can become.

I can’t believe such valuable and eye-opening content gets so few views. It’s truly disheartening that the gift offered to us by such a master isn’t getting the recognition it deserves. This is hands down one of the most helpful, clear, and visionary bass guitar content I’ve ever seen on UA-cam.
I hope the low view count doesn’t discourage you and that you continue sharing your incredible insights with us.
Thank you for leaving that moment of very slight rushing against the metronome in the video. In a world where everybody edits the heck out of their virtual lives to only show the idealized perfected version of themselves, it ia reassuring to know that even a master needs to take a second to lock into the rhythm. Much appreciated.
Man. You are not lying. There is always something raw about live music. Face it everyone screws up. Recoveries are the most important part.
A lot of the videos you see are lacking small little screw ups and probably edited out the you know what.
One thing I really liked about this is that is forces me to work out my plucking hand pattern to be consistent (I use economy/sweeping motion with Index and Middle, starting with the Index). Taking the time to be consistent with the plucking hand helps me have one less thing to think about when trying to work into the triplets and build up the tempo. Would love to hear a little about your thoughts/approach to this sometime (apologies if I'm overlooking an existing video you've done). Great exercise, thank you!
I’m unreasonably pumped for the arpeggio and scale book! I’ve been looking for a bass specific one for ages!!
Big same !
The ACE Janek Gwizdala......
1:34 totally agree. Try to look at Raga against the machine bass lines, those are masterpieces but build on few sounds like "down rodeo" "bullet in the head" or amazing Audioslave "Like a stone"
Or Killing in The Name
I love these kinds of exercises! A strict pattern to follow but enough flexibility to keep it challenging/interesting/musical. Also, you always have great tone but something was really popping for me today, especially in the lower register. Looking forward to the new book!!
@@DW-zi6ht 🤷♀️sometimes we have better days than others I guess. I didn’t do anything different with the mix on this one.
great exercise…looking forward to your Scale Book🙏
Is it ok if F major I replace with altered scale, If I understand it is ok approach?
if you had to pick 1 of your books to show your teaching method which would you recomend i would say im intermediate
@@danram69 I would say my Bass Player’s Guide to Pentatonics is a great place to start. Not only does it revolve around a very commonly used scale, but it covers harmony, melody and bass lines, and has a ton of play alongs.
@@janekgwizdala thanks I will get it ordered straight away
Ordered many thanks only seen your videos tonight but I get how you explain things ,
When I studied Jazz many years ago these kinds of exercises were so intimidating that I just gave up before I tried. I think that if I were to practice this today, I wouldn't begin by trying to fit the same phrasing - I mean, the same attacks as the phrase when it was played in eight notes or sixteen notes. I would practice first playing the same notes in a sixteen notes triplet "natural" feel - without thinking of the original phrasing, and very slow. Only after I got the feeling of how they fall in the 4/4 meter I would change the phrasing to the original one. It will be too confusing for me to go straight to playing the same phrase in 16th-note triplets. But this is just me.
Of course, everything new especially challenging needs to be approached slowly and gradually
@@plus41pseudonymus Yes, what Janek explains at 5:28 is critical to be able to execute the transition of the four sixteen notes idea to triplets. You have to understand where the accents fall in the triplet phrase before you start otherwise it's going to be a very frustrating experience. So either vocalizing it very slowly or playing the notes in triplets and adding the four notes' accent afterward should be the main focus for anyone interested in this kind of freedom.

Hey Janek. Did you see Thundercat shout you out in his interview with Robert Glasper?
@@MarleyHofmannRecords I did not, but that’s very kind of him.
I pre-order mine... yeah
❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
Thank you master 🎶💯🔥
Ordered mine already!!
Hey Janek! Ther's a mistake in a video at 7:23 - it's A# actually :)
@@m.boroova ? It’s Enharmonically the same note.
@janekgwizdala it supposed to be a joke, sorry 😉
Unsurpassed as a musician, the seller suddenly makes the musician less likeable to me
You’re going to have to explain that one.
Dude musicans unfortunately like the rest of the world have to make money. If they don't sell things like books how will they eat? Be thankful that we have Janek choosing to write books and give us youtube videos.
