    Joe Dart is a modern day bass phenom. His fingerstyle funk bass grooves are at the heart of the Vulfpeck sound and Dean Town is the MUST KNOW bass line of the modern era in much the same way that Teen Town has been a bass players rite of passage since the original Jaco Pastorius recording with Weather Report in 1977.
    In this lesson I'll be breaking down and showing you how to play Dean Town bass line. I'll also be giving tips on how to approach learning the entire 'melody' section by way of 'chunking'.

      You will ! I've been trying to play steadily those 8 bars for at least a year, and I'm only starting now to be endurant enough to be able to play what comes next without having finger cramps.
      That's so rewarding to pull it out. :)

    Good choice! I half-assedly learned to play this from the sheet music, but I'm looking forward to learning something new about this song. PS. Have a look at the version from the Madison Square Garden concert - 14000 people singing along with the bass solo.

    Very comprehensive tutorial. By far the most challenging thing i've tried to learn in a while...makes me realize how dependent I am on hammering and sliding for a lot of my playing. Not quite there yet, but keeping at it! Thanks!

  • @druidjuicer636
    @druidjuicer636 Рік тому +8

    Hey Mark. Thanks for putting this up (for free) so I can study the PhD thesis in groove and composition that Dean Town is. I think every player eventually runs into the piece they *must* learn... and this is the piece that does it for me. It has everything I want to understand in spades and without this clear rendition I think I'd be struggling to be honest. I know this has been up for years but that really makes the case for posting it up, right? Wonderful you put the practice tracks up on your website too. You're a diamond. All the best and thanks again ❤

  • @yowbabz22
    @yowbabz22 4 роки тому +11

    I have to say, Mark has a very effective way of teaching. I learned a lot from him over the past few years. And now, please excuse me, gotta start warm up my neck so it can catch up with the groove. 😎

    Thank you, this saved me a boatload of time, it’s great ear training to figure it out yourself, but you showed me where I went wrong. When you broke it down into chunks it was more manageable, it’s overwhelming trying to just learn it as one long lick. Lol

  • @francescopalomba7076
    @francescopalomba7076 Рік тому

    I think the steady 16th notes part Is the hardest of the whole line.
    After many attempts I discovered that the tricky moments are those when you change from an upper string to a lower one (EG from D string to A string). I solved this by raking on string change. So if i start the groove on index finger as I change string I and up starting on second finger.

  • @sillejin
    @sillejin 3 роки тому

    Watching Joe Dart play Dean Town with Federico Malaman and Nicolas Viccaro it looks as though he's playing the D# on the D string instead of the A string. I'm probably wrong though. Thanks for the lesson. Your bass sounds great.

    Thanks a million for this and I love the 'proper' control from the 5th fret instead of open string. I think your ghost note is wrong in the tab before the B around 13:14? I think the B plays first and then the ghost note? Just sounds like it anyway but I'm only learning. Thanks again - back to the practice!
