    • @ronamusic8630
      @ronamusic8630 2 роки тому +7

      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.

    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.

Bass is a solo instrument and support instrument. Just like treble guitar, violin or the drums.

      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

    • @guitarsolos89
      @guitarsolos89 8 місяців тому +5

      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.
