This video explores some of the concepts that I use in my practice routine and teach to my students on how to develop mastery over bass grooves. Here we're taking a deep dive into Bernard Edwards' classic verse groove from Chic's 'Le Freak' and using his bassline to work on concepts of technique, tone, and timing.

Thanks for the revelation that when trying to learn a bass piece is like learning someone's language they are fluent at.... don't rush and don't beat yourself up and get discouraged. Very helpful and encouraging advice! Just what I need to hear. Thank you. You got a new sub!
Damn i wish i had a video like this, 5 years ago.
As a self taught, these 4 concepts are the base line of my learning routine now, I slow things down, work my way up by making sure I have good intonation, good control over the sound, I take the time to listen to what i'm about to play, and now and then I also go back to have a listen again, I learn bits by bits like I divide things in phrases, and then put them together as I go on..
But 5 years ago none of that was obvious to me, so I had to learn everything the had way.. I really hope some new students will see this video and make great use of it
Thanks Tom. A timely reminder as I approach my Jaco homework.
He's back .... Just in time to read "Better Bass Practice' again!
Ha, I should probably read it again and take my own advice!
Wow! Just happened across this lesson. Great line thanks for helping me tap the brakes on everything I practice. I agree the ego can take where I don’t need to!
