Hey guys.

I have just uploaded my latest Bass Talk episode.

This video is casual as always but covers some topics I've thought about a lot over the years - hopefully that comes across.

I've been thinking a lot about the human condition since those crazy shootings in USA/Canada so ultimately I hope you're playing with love and feeling....These videos tend to focus on the theoretical/technical aspects/concepts of playing....but the really important ingredient is love and feeling.

Anyway people. Have fun with this.

I love playing around with a pedal point during solos. It's such an interesting device but one I think that is often overlooked by guitarists and bassists during solos, who can tend to think about 'box shapes' quite a lot. Key players seem to love pedal points, so take a leaf out of their books and refer back to that common chord tone when soloing. Not only can it be an interesting melodic/harmonic device, it can bridge the gap between notes that you're using to form the main body of a solo, creating a real impact. Steve Bailey is particularly good at this when he mixes it with his three finger technique.
