Hey Guys- Just posted this new video about how to integrate improvisational ideas from the Slonimsky Thesaurus of Melodic Patterns and Scales. Enjoy! Joe
Thanks Joe. I have your 50 Essential Jazz Funk Lines. I am trying to understand how to contextualize them. Do you have a course or video for this? Thanks!
I studied under Joe at the old bass institute in London in 1987, he was brilliant then and still after years of lecturing and theory teaching and session work, I am still learning from him. Terrific stuff.
You are hands down one of the most versed and informative bass player/teacher that ive seen. I'm going to go to your website and sign up. I appreciate your passion and expertise. Thanks!
Hey again how cool is this. How else would have I found these lessons if not for for UA-cam? I would have never met you or saw a book or found a reference to such an enlightening accomplished cool guy. I have learned techniques from you that a lifetime of jamming locally or rocking with buds ! Bass god? Bass guru? Perhaps an interstellar traveler with a mission to enlighten the world with your bass knowledge! Thank you oh enlightened one ☝️
Thanks for putting this back into focus...I have the book, know the ideas you're presenting yet would have scratched my head when asked what I know..;-))
@@JoeHubbardBass Hey Joe, how can I systematically learn the exercises you presented? I've been playing ebass for 30 years, but haven't done anything for ten years and now have a small band again. I'd like to learn this very modern stuff as well as the normal 251 connections. I'm retiring in three years and would then like to start my second career as a bass player. Especially when you play at a hobby level, it's difficult to find people. That's why I want to get better. Maybe you have an idea! Best regards Norbert
@@nosi1967 It's really about trying to find an equal balance of improvising over chord changes using more of a "tonal" bebop approach, combined with a more "atonal" or outside approach with less harmonic restrictions and then learning to interchange these concepts at will. This is the main outline that I use to teach people how to improvise.
If you can't recognise the names of the notes, you shouldn't be watching this lesson. This will help: www.joehubbardbass.com/joe-hubbard-bass-foundation-course-latest/
@@JoeHubbardBass A lot of students aren't quite there yet to be able to transcribe that quickly with confidence and accuracy. It was a very good lesson Joe.
Just found out.. we were classmates at the "Chord Factory"(Berklee) . I graduated in '78. TBN.player/ composer. Michael Gibbs was one of my teachers. One of my best friends was a bass player( Chris Waterman) really good. Did you know him? I too lived in LA for a while. Got to know Bill Watrous. Nice to meet you Joe.
Let me put this gently: You are pronouncing the author's name, 'Slominsky'. Respectfully, no. It is pronounced 'Slonimsky'. Otherwise, great!! Thank you for giving us your thoughts.
I came to this video directly from the video of Slonimsky's interview on the Johnny Carson Show. He was VERY clear that he is not related to the Nimskys and cannot stand when people mispronounce his name. You'd think someone who may respect the work would make a better effort to respect the man and his name.

Thanks Tony, great to see that you're still at it! Many thanks for your ongoing support!
I cannot wait to practice this! The second exercise is very Charlie Banacos! You are such a great teacher Joe, tremendously useful information.
Awesome lines, cool sounding diminished ideas, thanks for sharing!
Cheers!

Relax, lol.
Fantastic lesson!! Bravo!!! 👏👏👏👏
excellent explanation, thank you very much
You're welcome!
@@JoeHubbardBass god bless you
Outstanding!
WoW!Superinteresting🤯🥰That book IS a must for all Musicians.👾🛸Thanks
Glad it was helpful Jose!
Dude, it's Slonimsky, not Slominsky!
No duuuuuuude, it's from Slominskie's book wid literily a plethora of freekin' millions an' freekin' millions of perm-u-freekin-tations.
Once again...thanks Joe.
Thanks for putting this back into focus...I have the book, know the ideas you're presenting yet would have scratched my head when asked what I know..;-))
Would you like more lessons on Diminished and Augmented?
Yes please Joe. I've spent a few hours on this one today & once under the fingers I extrapolate... ;-)) Best wishes as always!
Okay, I'll do that!
That would be great !!!
Cheers Joe... I wrote (what was for me anyway) a really cool 8bar funk line last night, I'm happy!!
You can add Allan Holdsworth, Shawn Lane, and even Buckethead to the list of geniuses who were strongly influenced by this book!
Coltrane was no slouch either, I hear.
This video just hit 10,000 views! BIG thanks to all of my subscribers and supporters!
Fantastic!
Glad you liked it!
I assume that someone somewhere has created midi files of the Slonimsky material. Any idea where I might find something like that? Thanks!
Duuuuuuude, friggin' "Jacko Pastorus"
Awesome! :-)
Cheers my friend!
Hey Joe, which chapter is it in the Slonimsky book?
You'll find the diminished stuff in the "Sesquitone Progression."

2:25 is this the same scale that is also the last mode of the melodic minor?
No, that would be the altered scale. You can check that out here: ua-cam.com/video/aWWAIlK2OiA/v-deo.html
@@JoeHubbardBass Got it!!! thank you for the clarification!
4:23 that face when you cannot believe it"s not butter
:-)
😁 I can see you reading from a prompter, Joe. 😁 Great Lesson!
When you said it sounds confusing, it does. Naming the notes might help. And a really radical idea might be to show the phrase written out.
If you can't recognise the names of the notes, you shouldn't be watching this lesson. This will help: www.joehubbardbass.com/joe-hubbard-bass-foundation-course-latest/
@@JoeHubbardBass I can hear what you played. I was thinking of others. Thanks for the link, but bass is not my instrument.
My brain got smoke coming out
Muito linda essa Escala ! 🤓 BRAZIL.....
Thanks!
That’s great and all -but how about a deep lesson on how to shoe-horn pentatonics over most everything a la Clapton.
Okay- thanks for the request.
Whoa where's new Warwick!?
I recorded this video before I got my Warwick. More great content next week featuring my wonderful new JHB Signature Bass!
It would help to show it written down as you describe it.
But...even more helpful for YOU if you took the time to write it out. Now go practice!

Wow- small world. His name doesn't ring a bell, but that was a long time ago so we may have crossed paths. Nice to meet you too Larry.
Couldn't hear the bass
Noel Gallagher?
