Great, very useful video. Thanks a lot!
Fully agree
Fantastic!
Hey James, i note a little less fretbuzz on this new video, still there but overall a much better sound, that's great.
Just an observation, but maybe a comment for comments sake, you recommend in rule two to anchor your thumb over bridge pickup and play very close to bridge to achieve the tight funky sound, all good advice but then for 95% of the lesson you play with thumb anchored over the other/neck pickup. You still get a funky sound though.
Good video overall
Hi John,
Please listen to 7 days by sting on 10 summoners tales and you’ll hear clearly that there ‘should be no fret buzz’ idea isn’t true. I wish people would put this misnomer around… it misleads people in the early phases of playing.
Bare in mind the lav mic also accentuates all the high end frequencies.
Potentially a comment for comments sakes… I used the technique I naturally use which I can get up to tempo… but as I pointed out the jaco way I discuss.
Please stop commenting on the ‘fret buzz’ because this is something we will not agree on.
Pleased you like the video.
@@ebassguitar hey James thanks for your reply i have just listened to the track you suggested and i don't get your point as I didn't hear any fretbuzz on that recording although it is more difficult to hear when subk into the mix. I heard a lot of deadened notes but not buzz, so it doesn't change my viewpoint at all.
I assume what you are telling me is that a lot of fretbuzz is a normal or indeed a desirable effect when playing bass.
Question: do you agree that the correct technique when fretting notes is to depress the string just behind the fret or not? I would be very interested to hear what you regard as correct technique, and your reasons why.
I might learn something new.
Chrery mate
@@ebassguitar hi James
Ps to my last comment.
I dont believe i have ever stated " there should be no fret buzz"
When you play really hard it can be used as an effect. Ref: Flea of Red hot chilli peppers, he also adds distrotion into it.
John
tks my friend
My pleasure :-)
Great treatment for the dead string percussive technique. Loved this guy. Thanks for your continued educational platform!
The pleasure's mine! Really pleased to hear so! How's your bass playing by the way? I hope that you have kept your pace. I would be happy to hear about it and see if there's something I can help. Cheers!
Thanks - nice lesson. Couldn't hear the D7 Dm7 chords though.
Yes, there was a glitch… we’ll upload that section again as a new video over the next couple of days
@@ebassguitar I'm glad it is not my hearing going....
That's genius and will take me, about a week to learn.
Very kind of you, William! As long as you continue there's nothing you can't learn to play! How's your bass playing by the way? I hope that you have kept your pace. I would be happy to hear about it and see if there's something I can help. Cheers!
Thanks dude - Great vid for a great bassist
Glad you like it! Cheers!
Thank you. That was really cool! I think I might give it a try, but it's going to be a lot slower at first!
It doesn’t matter how slowly you play it!
Thanks James. Interesting lesson. The use of chromatics can spice up a lot of playing. I tend to mix chromatics with harmonics or even root/fifths (as in country or bluegrass) to build interest.
That is a great idea! Well done! Thanks for sharing!
Come On Get With It…TOP
Yeah!
can you send me the pdf for this lesson please, thank love you lessons
The link is in the video description…
I think you forgot to mix in the backing track in the part starting around 7:20 where you demonstrate playing the part over D7 and then Dm7.
We’re gonna release that as a short clip… keep an eye out :-)
Can you please a video how to play Lady in Red song thanks.
By chris de burg?
I totally agree with your reasons as to why people should learn. But unfortunately like a lot of other tutors you just gloss over and don't explain properly the technique and mechanics behind that pulsy style of finger plucking. I can't move the strings quickly enough or get my fingers back to the next pluck start to get audible clear notes at that speed using the conventional pluck style. It seems like you Marc and Scotty etc want to keep the technique to yourselves. There must be an optimum distance from the bridge and optimum strike angle and surface area of the fingers to use and perhaps the type of strings and amp settings. But nobody ever discusses these elements. I wish somebody would.
Hi Graeme.
Thanks for the agreeing with my points. I need to be clear this was an overview discussing elements of the bass line… not a deep technique lesson.
I need to direct here. Scott, mark or myself are not holding back anything. We’re sharing all the info. If you take my essential technique course it’ll share exactly how to do this.
You need to do one of two things:
Practice this material slowly, put the time in and not skip and steps
Or
Go and see a teacher and see if he/ she can identify what’s holding you back… it could be something super simple it’ll just take some one else to spot. This is why i invest in coaching.
Hope that helps
Thanks for the reply. I don't think you are intentionally keeping the technique to yourself but after years of doing it maybe it is so second nature to you that you can't see things from the perspective of someone who just can't get it and what physics and mechanics have to be applied. You do extol the virtues of being able to play this style and I haven't seen any vids where you go over it in detail. I have practiced the alternating fingers for months and I can get the Middle Index sequence to work but I reached a speed limit months ago which I can't overcome because I can't apply the force or positioning alignment of speed to do it at your speed. It seems you have are pulsing the strings with minimum surface contact rather than getting them to vibrate from rest with each pluck but I can't see from your videos exactly how you are doing that. Looks like I will have to figure this out for myself. If I do I will let you know. Thanks
I did note about the essential technique course but without wishing to sound arrogant, I suspect I would know a lot of it already, and I am not sure it would explain the fast fingers from a perspective that would work for me.
First time seeing your videos, took me way longer than it should have to find "this bass line" in your video since you were talking the entire time
I played it about 15 seconds in?
If it helps I’ll play it again at the start of the 7 reasons.
I’m ‘talking the whole time’ because I’m giving the 7 reasons which is what the whole video is about ;-)
Nope not a fan of Jaco, I have always disliked his bass tone and his playing.
He’s a legend… but not one of my all time favs :-)
