Hi Jon , it’s so awesome that I stumbled across your UA-cam channel. I bought your funk fusion book and cd about 26 years ago and I owe you many thanks. That book taught me how to use my fingers and so much more, all these years later I still pull that book out and practice those exercises. Many thanks from Australia. Ps keep on groovin 👌🏻
Wow.. Until I read your comment I hadn’t put the two together. That book was pretty much essential required reading for bassists worldwide pre-interwebs! That & Anthony Vitti’s super advanced technique & sight reading burner’s “Finger funk vol#1” & “Slap bass soloing” took me from experienced late intermediate to proficiently advanced! 😊
Thanks John, you make it all about the groove and so fun. As I'm in a band which mostly free forms in jazz funk styles this is helpful for me. Thank you for your explanation of how E7 can work well with E dorian on the bass. I'm thinking E dorian would also work well over Em chords on the keyboard too?
Nicely done, it’s a way to build a groove during a break down that the whole band can get behind. Subbed for more tricks of the trade.
Thanks, Short Stroke. I’m glad you got something out of it!

Thank you for lettin me be myself again
Yep! For sure. Thanks, Sharmito!
I write bass grooves in my DAW using midi keyboard...excited to find this channel.
Welcome aboard, Timothy. Glad to have you here! Just curious… how often do you use an actual bass player on your recordings? 😀
many thanks !!!
You’re welcome, Alexandre. I hope you got a lot out of it!

Yes, absolutely! Thanks for the update, CP!
Dorian = Santana's secret chord progression (said Zappa).
But I love it.

Root to 6th to flat 7 that’s my go to!!!!!
Yeah, that’s a good one! Thanks, DK.
Thanks for sharing Jon
You bet, Paul. Glad you liked it!

Soul Sacrifice comes to mind, Woodstock. 😊
Yeah, that’s a good one! Thanks, David!
Good stuff!! Same time, same place, same bass 😂😂😂👍
Thanks, Gigmeister!
This is all us bass players do all day at a NAMM Show......one chord all feel.
So true, Trevor. I’m glad one of you admitted it! 😂
Great Ideas🎶🎶
Thanks, Kim!
Golden Years
Pretty close.
@@ForBassPlayersOnly another chord, I know…
I am a 6 stringer who dabbles in 4 strings...some good info here...thanks
If you already play a 6-string bass, you should have no issues?! (j/k)
👍

Muy bueno.
Gracias!

Thanks, Geoff!
RIP Specs.
Thanks, Kenneth.
🙇♂️💓🍀🎶 🤘😃
Thanks, Ray! 😁
can’t memorize so many moves.. I’ll stuck on root notes or music sheets provided by conductor
All good, Timo. Just take it a step at a time, all the while striving to give the music just what it needs. Thanks for weighing in!
@@ForBassPlayersOnly have to keep in mind that I’m oldish guy with dim guitar background so what ever is easier to me it must be good. ;)
set the ear, then vary half a skosh, great vid. not sure about exciting a drummer though - they are unstable people :|
😂 Thanks, Stephen!

Ooh, good one. Thanks, Michael!
Do you use tabs?
Most of my lessons and courses on “For Bass Players Only” have both tab and tab-free versions. Why do you ask?
@@ForBassPlayersOnly just wanted to curious as I haven't gone online yet. As soon as I get online I will sign up.
