Gospel Bass Lesson @ GospelChops.com featuring Justin Raines - Bass Solo

[ScarpiMusic]

Great video. Confusion about positions though. Position is like you said, which fret you position your index finger (fretting hand).

It's better to talk about chords as root position (root is lowest note), 1st inversion (3rd is lowest) and 2nd inversion (5th is lowest) etc to avoid confusion.

[setsunameis]

Hey Mr. Raines how did you get your fingers to be so close to the fretboard?

[pepehorhae]

im studying a course for law. wish i was gonna be a musical lawyer when i grow up. i been playin guitar for about 5-6 years now and im 17 now and about to be 18 on my bday on october. you know, since i have no guitar for almost 5 months now, my life is incomplete :( when i grow up, im gonna rock the court room down in front o da judge!

[DeeperMusic]

I remember when the first Namm JR vid came out and I've been a fan ever since. I love his whole swag (humbleness) and grove. Makes you really want to STUDY your stuff. BIG inspiration!!!

[Bass5or6]

OMG!! please say, send and do more!!!!

[tewest86]

@Rafiki112 How to you have you B-M-T set on your bass? It looks like you got the mids full on with a little treble added and a little bass added.

[Soulquarian]

@Lightbrown95: He demonstrated how to play the same inversions on a four string. You may not have the same voicings as a six, but the chords can be played on a four.

@Juannieville: It's the same guy, you can see on facebook. Pics of him with dreads and playing with Israel. Like the other dude said, he was sick for a minute and that's why he looks a little different. Plus his tone and approach to bass is VERY unique lol.

[AngusAndBubba]

what a boss...

[lightbrown95]

Sadly you can only play these chords with a six string bass.

[BigDaddyBass]

WOW!!! THE SHOP HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY OPENED!!!

[womanlybassplayer]

That bass sounds so good that I can "taste" the tone!

[bimmerlifestyle]

sweet

[cornflakesnwater]

awesome stuff

[BassDMan]

awesome justin

[Danielcrspo]

It all goes back to the Aristocats movie man, Scales and Arpegios.

[ShynAwkward]

If you type "Justin Raines" into Youtube search, you'll find another bass player by the same name (with dreadlocks) that also plays for gospel chops & also uses an MTD Bass?!? Is this really a coincidence??

There must be a way to differentiate between these 2 gifted brothers...

God, Luv & Happiness.....

[dcdabassman]

@ShynAwkward He did cut his dreads

[Steven8503]

@ShynAwkward This is the same Justin Raines, he just cut his hair. He also was sick for a while, which is why he looks a little different. There's a vid on YT where he discusses it in more detail.

Thanks GC for this display of Justin's awesome skill. He continues to be a beast!

[juannieville]

@ShynAwkward I love em both.They both are beast! i kinda like the other one a tiny bit more tho lol

[Rafiki112]

@juannieville They are both the same person...

[Rafiki112]

@juannieville Yes they are because I am Justin Raines...It is me, the light skinned one and dark skinned one. I did get sick which affected my kidneys which also affected my appearance...

[juannieville]

@Rafiki112 SMH sry justin. Feeling dumb, i was like "man theres 2 Justin raines with the same name, same style, both play gospel etc" haha Thnx for letting ME KNOW! Ur are very blessed...Im def praying for ya and sry to hear about u getting sick....Stay up bruh

[jdrms9]

@Rafiki112 This is "LIGHT SKINNED Justin from NY!! Justin Raines you are an inspiration to all bass players and musicians!!! I only dream to one day sound like you when I touch a bass! I've always respected your gift and your musicianship. You are in my prayers bro! Because above all, this is ministry, and i know you and I have discuss this before. I'm no where near on Rafiki's level of bass playing. I'll scream that from the mountain top. And if I lived close to him I'd be getting lessons!
