I spend hours on this kind of stuff Joe & notice all that you mention here. I wish I could write down every single thing I come up with... Not impossible but....! I have written out loads of things though & they all sound musically cool. I combine them with sequenced & chromatic ideas & often I'll reharmonize the chords. Quite simply, I love it. I went to a social gathering last night but left after 15 minutes because I just wanted to play that bass...;-)) PS, you come up with cool lines, Cheers as always!
Great lesson! A question: instead of (or besides) the use of a diatonic different tonality, how about using some chromatic minor pentatonic scale to create lot of -short- tension, such as D#? for example in the second half of the D minor pattern...?
Playing that whole lick in D# wouldn't really work, but I talk about how to apply that 'outside' concept in my video on Side Slipping: ua-cam.com/video/Y1ieGXtxekk/v-deo.html
Hey Guys- I've got something good for you- check it out! All the Bass- Joe
Yea! As always, something that can be immediately used. Thanks!
Thanks Mark!
Awesome lesson and a great breakdown to show the simplicity of something that sounds complex! Reach For It is one of the best bass solos ever!
Thanks Keith! Yes- Byron sounds great on Reach For It!
Absolutely fantastic....
You make bass playing so interesting Joe.
Cool stuff Joe..Thanks once again .
Cheers Bro!
Cant wait to see you at The 2019 NAMM SHOW I have so many questions , I didn't geta chance to see you at NAMM this year , hopefully this time I will.
I'll be there on the Warwick stand- come along and say hi. Best- Joe
What you're doing, in essence, is explaining modes of the minor pentatonic scale and playing them over the original key.
