    Scott, you always give props to other Bass players which is very honorable. But your awesome Bass playing ability can not be overlooked.
    And as a Black man that grew up on Funk, you definitely have that Funk in your soul my brother. And it makes me smile from ear to ear every time I watch you doing your thing.
    Your teaching videos are outstanding, please don't ever stop sharing your positive energy and talent with us Sir.

      Hear hear Red! Incidentally, despite all the basses that are out there, all the new shapes, new woods, 5 and 6 strings, etc, there's still no more beautiful bass than a good old Fender P.

    I love that you’re highlighting gospel players. I cut my teeth on these guys back in the early 90’s. Check out Lanar ‘Kern’ Brantley. He’s one of the best. He’s played for everyone, but my favorite gospel session of his is on The Winans “Live at Carnegie Hall.” Tasty slap player.

      Amen, now you're a new man, old things are put away, I've been playing bass since 1968 and I can truly say, if you put God first he will put you first keep playing for the church and encourage the people of God, don't forget to learn a little piano too because sometimes single bass notes gets a little lonely when you need to hear a full chord when I put together a song, learning piano will come in handy. Playing bass since 1968 Playing Piano since 2012 I've learned how to play the piano from UA-cam 12 years ago. Right now it's March of 2024 still on fire.for our God gospel music is all I play amen.

    You're ubiquitous for bass here on UA-cam, and frankly I got tired of seeing "Why this bass sucks" "Why 5-string is this or that" etc. and I dismissed you, and avoided you. I clicked on this video accidentally, wow Scott you really are one hell of a player. What a great approach of taking a great fill & starting it on 2, 3, then 4. So brilliantly simple. Just great.

  • @landondale8496

    That puts a lot of things together, even finger positioning, in terms of right hand, and where you are going to be to be ready to drop down to the next string and which finger does what. Reversing that lick would be a cool asset to the fill catologue as well:)

    Holy shit this video. 2 things.
    1. I want the thumbnail to every video where Scott features another bassist to have Scott in the background giving the horns. Just like this one.
    2. When you moved the lick to beat 3, I felt it. When you moved it beat 4, I made an ugly face and shouted "Damn!". Every time around.
    This is one of the best ones you've done yet, Scott. Much love. I'll be in the shed if you need me.

    @markrodgers2976 5 років тому

    After playing guitar for many years, I started messing with the bass not long ago, and when I started fooling around with this lick concept, I realized I kinda already used it.
    But, as a guitar player, I stayed with the pick i was already comfortable with, instead of using fingers like most bassists, so I play this with kind of a chicken-pickin' style, with clicks and ghost notes, which basically works, but it loses some musical notes and doesn't have that thumpy "bass riff" sound you're getting with your fingers. Anyway, cool lesson, as always !

    Been playing bass for a year (started late - aged 53) and inspired by your videos, and love gospel so keep it up please. Check out Alan Snoop Evans he has played on Fred Hammond (someone else I would love you chat to) tracks and he is amazing.
