stonecoldbass Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Hey guys, as some of you may know I recently launched my own teaching website and have been busy recording youtube video bass lessons and playalongs for it. My idea for this video was to take 7 iconic funk bass players - Rocco, Jaco, Flea, Jamerson, Louis, Larry and Bootsy - and write a groove in the style of each player, then segue them all over the same backing track to show how each bassists approach to the groove shapes the music. I also wanted to do them all on the same bass to show as much as possible that it’s possible to get pretty close tonally to these players sound without having to use the bass they used, and my F Bass VF5 did the job quite well I think. I plan to do an individual lesson series breaking down and discussing each groove as well so stay tuned for that. In the meantime you can download the PDF for each groove at my website: [url="http://www.basslessonsmelbourne.com"]http://www.basslessonsmelbourne.com[/url] I hope you enjoy watching the video as much as I did making it, these bassists really are masters of funk.

SICbass Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Nice one man. Really demonstrates your point about how different players' styles can influence the character of the music. Also well performed, engaging and interesting. Good luck with your website Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
