it is amazing how Chelsea plays those big jumps whithout ever looking once at the fingerboard!! which to me is a sign that she might be able to sight read effortlessly.
old comment, but there are thumb-back-of-neck-placement tricks you can use to easily jump an octave worth of notes without moving your thumb
There is always something magical about Janek scatting with his solos!!! It’s honestly perfect!!!
I can't stand it, but I love his solos! haha
Yep can't stand it either :) I understand doing it to help one play a bit more lyrical and melodic but in Janek's case, it would be better if he just did it in his head or at least away from the mic. Loving the tone of the F Bass, though.
I'm digging the blended voice/inst. sound myself.
Scatting probably makes his composition way better. I wouldn't mind it if he was spot on, but I don't think that's his skill set. Otiel Burbridge makes it beautiful though
I always interpret his scatting as musical insecurity. Seems like he has to scat and wave around like that to prove how he's feeling the music, groove and knows exactly what he's doing (and he knows don't get me wrong). He's got loads on knowledge and skills on playing music, but all of he's friends are mainly musicians, so I bet there's a few people that he looks up to, people he thinks that are better than him and make him feel not as musical. Immersed musicians tend to be little narcistic, so music can get/feel a bit competitive (I've been there). One point left to be said, Chelsea mentioned that he likes to play one lick over and over in solos, which in my eyes makes him look like a muscle memory musician... and that could be also a reason why scat on top. I also want to mention that it is a wonderful exercise to scat on top, great way to learn playing things straight from your head and that probably is your real motive for it. None of this analysis is relevant, but every time I hear someone scat on top, it makes me think of these dark thoughts. LOVE YOU Janek, keep making videos and stay healthy, Peace.
Your reaction to the blues was deeply moving, Janek. The two of you playing together was a lot of fun, and it's really a great testament to your relationship that Chelsea simply played without any worry about judgement. Thanks for that, both of you.
Janek, you are one of the luckiest guys in the world! You and your girl both love playing bass! You two are probably one of only 10 couples in the *entire world* who both play bass, and play together (even if only for the vlogs).
You guys are too cool!
So cool to see the two of you finally playing together. Chelsea really has the floating thumb technique down.
Can my comment please get a bunch of likes so Janek will notice and teach us how to play that killin' ascending lick from 7:30 to 7:36
Great stuff Janek! Terrific as always.
Some say "birds of the same feather, flock toghter"... Others claim that "opposites attract". But honestly, no matter who or how we are, sharing your passion is the strongest bond I can imagine between two individuals. Great symbiosis!
Damn..... she certainly doesn't need to solo woth those killing walking bass lines
You seem really happy, Janek. For a little while the light left your eyes, seems like its back now! Happy for you brother! Keep on keeping on!
Gotta say, loved to see Janek playing with a proper comp instead of just looper. Nice interplay between you two. You guys need to get a drummer and gig as a trio. Learn the tunes Janek! :)
Best vlog ever ..... i really enjoyed your playing ... and the "I've got neighbours don't forget" really got me :D
You gotta savour ripper days likes this when they come your way in life. Congrats to you both on so many fronts. Can't wait to see the upright/electric duo, in time (as it were).
love the sound of that bottom string on the 6 string!
Question for Chelsea - I've noticed that bass players who play upright swing incredibly on electric, a lot of times more than someone who plays electric only. Do you have any thoughts as to why that might be? How does upright help when it comes to walking bass over standards.
Great playing by both you. One of my favorite episodes so far.
Chelsea has some serious groove. this is awsm. Good job You two.
Dat F-bass is godly! It still looks and sounds terrific to me! Awesome playing from both of you jazz cats! Love
So cool to see you guys play together 👍❤️
Awesome vlog, on so many levels! What a treat to hear you two playing together!
Greetings from Portugal! Of all the bass channels on UA-cam, this is why I watch yours more! Great playing! Keep it up!
you can see Chelsea slowly falling in love from 7:13 - 7:36
Janek +1 works great ! so nice to hear you both commenting on the experience.
I love the poster on your poster. It is SO true and I really need to put that to practice in my life, especially as a musician.
Agreed! That was incredible - keep the duos coming :)
Chelsea is gliding on the fret-board without effort or resistance. Wow!!!
She's awesome. and has excellent timing and inventiveness creating walking lines.
and there they sit next to each other playing some bass... it can be so simple and beautiful!
Please don't stop her playing the low B string. That was the best part at around 8:17... :)
Ive got neighbors dont, forget😂
@@adamjones7701 i was wondering what he said
@@adamjones7701 turn up that sub so they can enjoy 😂
damn janek you inspired me to go and transcribe some jazz blues right now at 3am
this is my fav youtube channel now damn
This was a beautiful vlog !
Beautiful playing from both of you!
They are some real good bass players! Thanks for sharing!
You two are so entertaining and talented. Great combination. Love you two.
Best episode to date! Great playing guys!
Congrats on getting the gig, Chelsea! You guys sounded great together :D
Translates 100%....wow, that girl swings!
Indeed!!!
Chelsea! That bn6 sounds fantastic. Nice job guys. Love the vlogs
This was so charming. There's something really special about being able to play with loved ones -- I totally relate to Janek's excitement.
14:53 - No lie, I was playing along and wanted to play lower on the neck at this point, so I started on a D figuring at least I'd harmonize. For a split second, I thought, "Whoa, that sounds thick!" before I realized Janek decided to start on F# 😄.
this vlog took me back to high school years. Playing tunes like that.
I'm with Chelsea. 6 strings are awesome. Used to use a couple 5 strings tuned standard and eadgc. 6 strings are easier to change than 10, and it's nice to get super comfortable with one really versatile bass. Still don't mind a p bass for variety but yeah I only own one modern bass with rounds now.
Very cool clog janek. I enjoyed the jamming
You guys are great together! And Chelsea swings hard!
You guys are awesome 👌
Chelsea is swinging for sure!
Amazing playing both of you! Kudos
formidable playing by chelsea and you
You guys are awesome! Your doggo is adorable too.
This would be a cool idea for an album. You guys sound great!
Sharing music and life that's perfect!
Chelsea is wicked awesome!
You two sound great! "What is this Thing called Love?"; Love this Chord progression.:-)
this is your best vlog vid yet!! hahah sick!!
If it feels right, you guys gotta record together. When everyone is telling you to do something, it can kinda make you want to it less but yo, make it happen!
Sweet jamming 😎👍
Frickin awesome!
Very nice walking, and great ears.
Hey Janek , can you please share some of your favourite Spotify playlist that you listen to or playlist that you've created ? love your music , always looking forward for more
Who in their right mind gives something like this a thumbs down?!?! they must not have a partner to jam with
Great playing by both of you. Chelsea, would you mind sharing a little of your background? WE've heard about your upright playing, what came first? Did you start in a classical capacity or move from an electric. Also, what do you find is your preference on electric and upright, do you prefer one over the other etc? Thanks in advance!
I simply love this video
Great getting to hear the two of you playing tunes. Question: Neighbors LA vs NYC. Janek you've lived in both cities are people in NYC more tolerant of musician neighbors than people in LA or are they about the same?
awesome jam! loved it! :)
Beautiful walking Chelsie so I have a little request for you please don't rush your speaking thanks
It's time to planning a gig together
Cheers
Manuel
It's so cute that you both are bassists!! I wish my wife was a musician only!
Wow man, you’re living the dream 👍🏼
she needs to share more of her gift with us on youtube. and she plays 6 💪🏽👍🏻
and like somebody else said: *more b string* 😂
She swings so much, great time. Chelsea I want bass walking lessons, when is your walking training book released? :)! I'm sure you're working on it, if not there's a person to motivate you;)
Sounds great!
"If you work really hard and are kind, amazing things will happen." boy I wish that were true :(
OMG that's AWESOME! SO HAPPY!
Such a good vlog.

Wait, Chelsea's not in 5 and Dime is she? My buddy used to play guitar for them, when I visited the states I saw them. I danced with Dime
The redhead in the red dress with a gorgeous smile and laugh and the two bass guitars are amazing and wonderful and intelligent and beautiful and hot
