That little dance he does is important to get the groove right
100%!
I am not even close to Dart levels, but have found a bit o dance funk helps me as well. My band has one song in particular with a very simple bass drive I struggle with. Start moving with the music and it locks right in.
@@TheMemo659 internalization is very important. You dont always have to count in your head, but you must feel every beat :)
IT REALLY IS I TRIED IT
Well observed.
Joe 'snakehips' Dart.
It's funny because its actually true
He's pretty good at that big guitar
wait holy shit that skip thru jack's drum solo is so flawless wow
My first car is such an amazing song
The best 2 and a half minutes of Dart, IMO.
@Mike Scantlin I completely agree.
I almost forgot to watch this today
after the drum solo is incredible, he makes it seem so effortless and intuitive (to him it probably is)
Laying so far back it just turned to GREASE! Wonderful!
Appreciate the work this channel's super underrated
I've only been playing for about three years but I love it. It started as therapy and kind of took over me. Joe Dart is one of a number of players who inspire and bedazzle the living hell out of me! I discovered Joe through and Adam Neeley conversation with Cory Wong and the rest? Some call it history! F*ckin' A man! Thanks for this!
Involuntary bass face here. Dang... I think if I practiced this every day I could learn it in about 4 years...
He doesn't play the bass, he dance the bass.
Thank you Erik I'm work that groove and 16th note permanent flow until my body dances on its own❤
2:35 Jack got a whiff of Joe's funky BO (Bass Overtones)
Who is this guy on the bass without sunglasses...?
lol
Very good job with the tabs man, keep up with joe dart tabs! You have a new subscriber now :)
ACE.
This is the best Dart I've heard.
You absolute god, I love you
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! Bless your cotton socks mate, this is awesome!!!
If you could transcribe Vulf's video of "Joe Dart Beastly Solo II" that'd be awesome

Yaaassss!! Good work 👏👏👏
Yes sirrr
Hey could you upload the transcription to a drive file so its easier to read? thanks anyways :)
OMG
nice!!!!!!
How does he move so much while his bass moves so little
Its like those dancers than can move while their head stays still
"absolute pocket" what does that even mean. oh right nevermind he's got a few tricks up his pocket
In the music scene (bass in this case) when you play “in the pocket”, it means that you are hitting the notes at just the perfect time to groove well with the drums and the rest of the band. Not to be confused with "tempo", beacuse playing in the pocket also refers to the "style" and "freshness" you add to the music, and giving the rest of the band just what the groove is asking for, not more and not less.
"absolute pocket' is just a phrase that would be instantly recognisable to any serious music connoisseur.
"Pocket" has to do with fitting into the rhythm with the rest of the section. He plays some massive runs, but is always *absolutely* fitting in with the drums.
That bass needed to take a pregnancy test after that song!!
So did every member of the audience!
Because it's PHAAAAAAT!
"skipping drum solo" was a pure sin
🤣Don't worry, buddy, the drum solo is honored in its very own video ua-cam.com/video/-mUcaAKOTV4/v-deo.html
Only been playing bass 2 and 1/2 years. Could someone pleaaaase explain to me how in the flying fudgeknuckle do you ghost note an open string??? Thanks.
@adman95 put your left hand over the strings so your fingers cover it enough to make a “th**” sound when you pluck it
@@bassdude78 But on an open string? Where do I put my fingers? Otherwise it's a fretted ghost note? Unless I'm mistaken.
@@adman95 your hand kinda goes anywhere. you're gonna do a little mute on the open string with your left hand, just dampening the vibrations a little bit. right hand should be playing staccato. how i do it anyway
@@adman95 just make sure you don't hit a harmonic and you're golden
You mute the string with your left hand
Wow!
What pickup/tone configuration?! I love this sound but I feel like i can never get that poppy but still muted tone. I usually play with my tone at 2-3ish, I also play a Aerodyne which has the Pbass neck pickup and mostly use neck pickup. Is that just bridge pickup with low tone? or active bass shenanigans?
that's a quacky bridge pickup
I think your rig is pretty close to achieving this tone, but in my experience it's almost always the amp that makes the last difference.
He "fingers" with a lot of pressure on that bridge pickup and I think he might be running flatwounds here too. I could be mistaken.
And go heavy on the midtone control on the amp
I hate being that guy, but I think this tab is wrong. At 8 seconds in on the 4th bar the tab says to hit the 7th then 4th fret on the e string but in the video joe seems to be staying in between the 2nd and 5th frets during that part. Lmk if any of you guys see it too. I’ve been trying to learn this now for like an hour and the notes of this tab don’t seem to line up.
@Samuel Majer You are correct; good catch! The 7s should be 2s and on the nearest higher string.
@@bassdude78 Biggeset frustration when transcriptions dont' take into consideration positioning and efficient fingerings.
@@Not_Lewis Right? Sometimes you just gotta put down what they played the way they played it.
@@Not_Lewislearn it by ear then you plonker
How hot is it in that club? Jeez. He's absolutely drenched in sweat in a way that doesn't look healthy.
Stage lights man...small clubs get hot and it's 10x worse up on stage.
he's burnin layin it down sucka
That's not a groove, that's a ditch.
Plays the crap out of that Jazz Bass.
Excellent! Those *x on the tab means ghost notes?
Yup! If you look at the notation staff above - notes in brackets are still audible, notes that are x’s not so much (0-15% audible or 85-100% string noise)
@@bassdude78 new subscriber here, how to make that 15% audible sound lol, I've been struggling for weeks
@@minhkhoi6788 good question! hehe
Can anyone give me some feedback how to make this mutting Sound? Im simply can't figure this out :(
Half-press the string on the fret while plucking. The sound texture changes depending on how much or little pressure you apply.
@@bassdude78 thanks brah. You are awesome
Then there is the Rocco Prestia way, where you primarily fret with the first or 2nd finger and lightly touch the strings with the 3rd and 4th fingers
Bridge pickup, high mids on the amp
Is there anywhere I can get just the transcription
Do a series of screenshots...
You skipped the drum solo??? Haha
Yeah, man! Who wants to watch a minute and a half long drum solo in the middle of the greatest bass line ever played? hehe
@@bassdude78 It was a dreadful solo!
@@ondolite3789 and @st3vencheah - actually, it was a pretty hip solo and I finally got around to posting it - ua-cam.com/video/-mUcaAKOTV4/v-deo.html
@@bassdude78 I will give it another listen.
@@bassdude78 Even worse 4th time around.
Hardly Larnell Lewis is it?
It is everything that is wrong with Vulfpeck (Spinal Tap style clowning) and much too abstract for my liking.
do these tabs make sense to anyone tho. am not a beginner but it dont seem to add up
yes they make sense
What makes it not add up
@@mr.hedgehog420the timing is 100% wrong on a lot of notes
Not his best by a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooongshot.
mostly bass acrobatics...
nope
I'm not a Dart fan or even Vulfpeck or whatever they're called but what does your comment even mean? You could say the same about any instrument. Bass is a solo instrument and support instrument. Just like treble guitar, violin or the drums. If you're comment was supposed to be insulting, it was a bad attempt and really just made you look like a bratty novice who has no idea what you're talking about.
Found the fuckin boomer😂
It's hardly like he's shredding.
Am I the only one thinking Dart is extremely overrated? His phrases are great and interesting, very oldschoolish, but there is zero dynamics in his playing making it soulless.
Zero dynamics? I'm fine with you finding him overrated, but you can't defend him having zero (?) dynamics
zero dynamics? did you not hear all the accent notes in this very solo?
zero dynamics is a weird statement, but I do agree with the sentiment. He definitely found his niche and is great in it, but I personally don't quite get youtube's obsession with his. And I would say the same about Vulfpeck in general
Let me try to explain why I am saying zero dynamics. The fundamental of his playing consists of repeating lines over and over, then connect these lines. There's no interesting dynamic playing inbetween.
I know it's not a great thing to compare musicians, but if you listen to the masters, they'll build up and connect their lines in more interesting ways, without making it obvious, to really catch you by surprise and make you listen. With Joe Dart he's just repeating line after line in same tempo, and there's no interesting dynamics happening with the guitarist or drummer, he's just playing "all in".
This assumption isn't based only on this performance im commenting on, but on him as a player. He's got great stage presence and he's respecting oldschool style, where u can clearly hear him coming from. But he's missing the "soul" and therefore I think all the praising makes him overrated.
EDIT: Maybe I missworded it since im not native englishspeaker, I meant that the composition of his solos lacks dynamic playing. Like, going up and down in tempo, going in and out of key to then find "home" and playing alongside with the drummer/guitarist to make interesting dynamics.
