Non bass player here and I continue to get so much inspiration and value from your channel. Great content Janek!
Just got the book! Wow, there is a huge amount of content available, this is just what I was looking for, after over a year of not gigging and playing with other musicians I have of late been very lacking in motivation and struggling to pick up my instrument, your new book is going to help me get back on track. Thank you Janek!
I was exhausted for the first 40 seconds then lost track of time could have easily listened another two minutes. Hypnotized by the lick.
It feels like riding on a cloud! ☁️
Great vid. Great book. Keep'em comin'!
I just started really getting into Jazz this school year. Decided to do the Jazz Minor at my Conservatory and started learning Double Bass. So thank you for this man!
Some great words of wisdom here, Janek. Passing it on to the next generation - priceless.🙏🇬🇧🌞🙏
I really enjoyed the repetition and could see & hear myself focusing on different aspects of the phrase as you played it. Really glad I picked up this book as part of the Triple Bundle and while I’m still working my way through the Pentatonics, I’m looking forward to diving into this one. Thanks again!
I started singing it!
This is a true source of inspiration. Thanks a lot for sharing your vision.
It sounded as if it was difficult at first but after hearing it a few times, I started playing this passage and I felt very comfortable and enjoyed playing it. As with other musical phases I've learned from you, I will find a way to use it. I feel like I understand why the notes are used in this arrangement after learning to play it. I'm no musical genius but I've learned to play by ear and your lessons certainly has helped me tremendously. Thank you very much Maestro !!!
Loved that video Janek, the way you framed the art of learning an area like Jazz was perfect.
Hallo Janek!Repeating over and over and over feels really good and finally after a cupple minutes you start to feel it and and get in the mood of the line.I think repeating is the key and is a big part of my practice routine......Thank you for the new book I just ordered it on amazon and can't wait to practice with it!!!Greetings from Germany Regards Niko
Those 2m minutes. I decided to listen with my eyes shut to not focus on anything else. it was interesting. I found myself consumed by the experience but also trying to gauge when time would be up (only because I knew it was an inevitable ending coming). I am very interested and will likely purchase your material Janek. Thanks!
This is a great book, Janek. That John Coltrane 2 line I literally practiced for an hour because it's so damn fun to play. I've noticed my handicaps with timing and spacing. This is why playing at a slower tempo forces me to listen. The repetition of the lines you talked about works for me because the lines you chose for the book are great on the ears. Cheers
what a great video, Janek! Thanks for this content
Insight - understanding how to practice a line. It has given me a huge amount of musical food for thought - thank you for your albeit brief but invaluable insight
Best bass channel and bass teacher on the W.W.W.
Thank you for your wisdom!I just order the new book!
Driving home from work and just started singing the line over and over with you. Got into “the zone” really quickly. Could have kept going. I love Chick and that line was hip, I think I need to try working on less for longer amounts of time in my own practice.
I transcribed it without having the book and played it for 2 minutes straight, three times so far. It's a really good workout for me cause my bass is in drop C (CGCF) so the highest note in this line is the very last fret for me on my jazz bass. I feel exhilarated and exhausted at once
it Sounds Smooth and Happy and Bouncy on the second line and Focus on the 1st Line Cool indeed Janek 👍
As a fellow LA musician, I feel your pain with the leaf blower action during filming! I did catch you say there's treble clef too....Treble clef for all the lines, yes?
Yes, all the lines have a treble clef version. 👍
@@janekgwizdala perfect, sold... thx for the reply!
Exhilarating! What a great concept for the new book.
You could not give a better définition ! Agree 1000% 🤘🤘
First I'm feeling it. After about one minute I start analyzing. I noticed your consistency, you seem to have a light touch on the strings all the way through. You're almost not moving the test of your body, sitting perfectly straight. Very relaxed right hand. Your pinky is moving pretty wide. I'm trying to identify patterns in your lines. Lines stay in one position.
Later I will try to understand which notes you play over which chord.
I probably would have made a noticeable mistake on the 3rd repetition.
Great topic Janek and exciting looking practice book. But "Jazz Is Not a Mystery | It's Curiosity and Hard Work" please unpack more. I understand I can learn these great lines by rote, but still, when I hear them they sound as if a higher being has created them and its compounded in live/recorded jazz when the other musos are doing substitutions and alterations and stuff to change the landscape all the time. Are you suggesting I could fake my way into jazz by thoroughly assimilating a set of lines and whipping them out and laying them on the table like Im actually intellectually inventing them or hearing them on the fly?. Some more philosophy, insights etc on this would be very interesting . Ive never heard anyone discuss this in a way that opens doors for jazz beginners.
2 min time is just like I got into another dimension, not boring at all, just another world.
Inspiring as always.
I was singing it along and felt like I could go an hour longer. Sometimes I feel like I won’t get far in jazz being an intermediate player at 33 tho
It's hypnotic to me,
Found it oddly satisfying. As if I was practicing for 2 mins.
3:13 I could listen to that for at least 30 minutes
Bought the book, love the idea of it!
1st one ever done like this on piano, felt good to play a line
are these same add-ons "as well as HD video instruction & play-alongs, which can be downloaded or streamed via link provided on page 2 of the book" included with the physical book?
Yes. All the add-ons and supplementary material is included for physical and digital versions of any of the books.
Hello. Mister. Janeks. Como puedo. Tener. Los. Bakingk. Trakc. Son. Muy. Buenos. Chay. Gracias. Chile
It felt like why am I watching you practice instead of practicing myself? That, and watching your right hand.
I feel to be focus. 👍🏾
Bought the book. First Lasson done
Greetings!
Great stuffs! :D
I really enjoyed it ! I just looked in your store but I'm a little lost ... What is the book that could correspond to this video with these kind of exercices ?
The book is the one I'm talking about in the video. that is also linked in the description of the video: Iconic Lines | janekgwizdala.com/store/p/iconic-lines
@@janekgwizdala Great ! I will buy it. Do your other books also have audio playalong?
@@ultimatefab many of them do. Bass players guide to pentatonics, bass players guide to sight reading, jazz vocabulary II-V-I, and From Practice to Performance all have play alongs for instance.
@@janekgwizdala Thank you very much for your quick response. I take advantage of your presence to ask you: are your books designed to be worked in a specific order? What if you had to recommend 3 of your books to an amateur bassist who decides to seriously work on the basics of the instrument?
@@ultimatefab There is not a set order for the books in terms of ability level. They all do different things, and pretty much all cater for all levels. If I had to recommend three of the books to help different areas of your playing I would suggest: Bass Player's Guide to Pentatonics, Bass Player's Warm-Up, and Jazz Vocabulary for Electric Bass ii-V-I.
Dzięki :)
Any possibility of your other books being issued on paper?
that was two minutes? felt like 20 seconds! could work on that phrase all day
Man i didnt get bored of that chick's line, it was very cauptivating
Well I'ma break the pattern a bit and stay that the first minute was incredibly boring, I tried focusing in the groove on the set, the sound of the piano... But it just didn't really keep me in it.
However, when I started singing the line ( and then I took the bass and transcribed it) it felt like I could do this for an hour, which I kind of did.
Could continue for more, at least 2/3 more minutes
I wasn't exhausted even though it felt repetitive, but not as listening to The Lick over and over again.
In the beginning : jarring. In the middle : curious. By the end : ah, I think I understand what’s happening here.
The line changed a tiny bit every time you played it. Like catching different details in every repetition
Ok .. dig...........................................................................................................
Curiously, to me it didn't feel like repetitions at all. More like breathing, natural flowing, a rebirth of the same.
i felt like i could do hours more
