    I appreciate what you just done for me, you acknowledged my friend Bob Vega. I grew up with him in San Francisco and played music with some of the same people until I left to Study Science. Bob is a great 👍musician and a great guy. It's true. Everybody liked Bob. I do not know anyone who did not. I hope that he is doing OK now. I have not spoke with him in over 40 years. The last time that I saw him, he was on Wolf Man Jack's Saturday Night Special backing up a rock band.

    Even if one is not a bass player or even a musician, it's a very positive experience to hear one discuss the fine points involved in the production of his craft/art. All part of the relationship between human being and tools of his trade, art, life. Depth, familiarity, nuance of expression. Great to hear.

    Great job, Scott! This is, by far, one of the most illuminating, most informative bass lessons I’ve seen anywhere! Bobby (and I don’t toss this word around lightly) is an absolute GENIUS on the bass! In addition, he comes across as quite likable & articulate while explaining the real “nuts & bolts” of his playing style. The incredible TONE Bobby wrings out of those two “well-worn” funky old “lived-in” basses of his doesn’t hurt, either!

    @dangracia7805 Рік тому

    Nuts! I don't remember if I've made this comment before or not, but when I first saw this video, I thought, "GREAT! That's exactly how I play". I'd always felt a bit bad about not using the tips of my fingers with my thumb on the middle of the back of the bass for every note. But back in 1965, when I first started playing bass, I used the meat of my fingers for the notes. We didn't really play a lot of really fast bass lines back then and my hand was almost always at that angle that you see Bobby use. I'm too old to really change, although I absolutely did start using the tips of my fingers for fast passages - reminded me of my piano teacher hounding me to keep my fingers curved and play with the tips. I'd never paid much attention to the fuller sound of using the pad of the finger versus the better articulation of playing with the tips, but that's how I've played for the last 58 years or so. Since I first saw this video about 3-years ago, I started paying more attention to the sound of each - tip vs. pad. It really hasn't changed my playing at all, just validated what I was doing and stopped me from worrying about using the tips of my fingers for every note.
    I really like listening to Bobby Vega. He does so many cool things without even thinking about it. It makes it hard on him to explain what he's doing sometimes because he doesn't necessarily think about it. He just knows what he wants to sound like and his fingers do it!

    Getting Bobby to play exactly what you want when you want seems kinda like herding cats. I love the man, his attitude, his playing, but he does NOT seem to speak a clinical technical language. I bought his instructional dvd and it’s great, but it’s like “yeah, however you wanna get it done”.
    “It’s a figure 8, it’s like falling down the stairs”
    Is not equal to
    “It’s an accented pattern of scrubbie, muted strokes followed by a fast descending whole tone pattern with a rake down the strings at the end”
    Luckily, having not learned much theory, Bobby’s way kind of immediately clicks with me hahaha

      MrBass Slap well, to some extent, the way things are notated can be a pretty clear indication of the intended feel and groove of a piece. However, you’re absolutely right, it is still ultimately up to the player to interpret and perform. There was a TEDtalk a ways back with a classical percussionist (I can’t recall her name) where she speaks to that and gives a mind-blowing example, well worth the watch.

      Jim Harris it’s that age group,bro. You had to be around back then in sf to appreciate that they are all seeds that came out of the same apple. It was the culture in the old days that created that calm, poised, creative efficiency.
      Those early sf times defined a large part of what many people are trying to emulate today....whether folks realize that or not. The Brit invasion back then also molded things when it hit the sf music scene.
      Bobby and Carlos are one of a kind as far as groove. Something we don’t really see these days, as far as true original musicality.
      But that’s jmho. I was there back then, so I see the difference. These guys should be taken as inspiration.

      Oh c’mon with the hating. He fretted with his right hand several times, played his ridiculous flashy descending raking run and although not shown in these brief examples, has a wicked slap style. Bobby definitely drives the bus but he isn’t exactly a root hog 7th fret and down only kind of guy. If that is your thing, great, be proud of it and play what you want and give respect to who you admire. But using Bobby as a passive aggressive stab at players with expanded/modern technique is kind of silly

      @@flamulated Wow, that escalated rather quickly wouldnt you say? I agree with both of you. Too many flashy techniques used too often ruin good music, but when done right, modern and expanded modalities couple with the backbone of grooving bass lines are amazing to hear.

    Hey Scotty I’ve been loving the vids. Took so many years off and really never had any real lessons. You’ve been a huge help on basics. The class you mentioned. Is there more coming or can one get them from here?

    Imagine that you're walking into a room and you see Bobby Vega just casually tuning his bass. Knees go jelly.
    Also at 6:30. Did he drop the pick or did he grab it with his palm and ring/pinky finger ? That pick vanished into the void!

    Bobby Vega is all about protecting his rice bowl. Unlike Victor Wooten, who will show you in a minute detail his techniques. I feel for you Scott, thanks for trying to help us out.
