Blue In Green - Bass Playalong

[edthewave]

I've told others this also, but I think you sir have one of the best bass tones amongst youtubers!

[Piggy2bacon]

CAN SOMEBODY TAB THIS FOR ME OH MY GOD

[Midnightgroover]

Hi, wonderful bass!I'm going to buy it!Do you reccomended it for other style of music?There is a jack output or cannon?

What amp are you using?

Thank you.

[Changles]

Beautiful playing, beautiful bass, overall beautiful rendition! BRAVO!

[ThaFill]

i think this in one of the best sounding basses ever. it's so beautifull and the sound is balanced, doesnt have a a metallic sound like a bass guitar, i would say this is the perfect sound for a bass.

this cover is amazing.

keep on playing

peace

[poetaycle]

really nice playing, one of, if not my favourite recordings of all time, those Kinal Kompact's sound great! I'm surprised that such a warm tone can come from such a small body! wow

[rustinpeacez]

by far my favorite jazz song of all time, nailed it

[Yetipfote]

God that is beautiful! I immediately added it to my favourites! I could stay up the whole night listening to you. Unfortunately I have to get up early :-) You are so inspiring to me.

[jhowhdheyieh]

Love your playing brother, the note choice and phrasing is lovely. Your tone is spot on too.

[thenameiwantedwasnta]

could you plug it in

[GBagley]

It is plugged in. This tone is a 50/50 blend of the piezo pickups and a mic.

[thepurplebottIe]

i love this take on the song dude, and that's one sweet bass.

your solo is real nice too, what are you using for it?

[GBagley]

Thanks. What am I using for what?

[thepurplebottIe]

ha, your solo.

[GBagley]

What am I using, like what chords and scales and stuff? I don't know offhand. I was just playing whatever sounded good at the time :)

[ProtoCosmos]

This is a "Bill Evans" composition, I believe.

[regionbuss]

what do a bas like this cost and where do you get them please anwer:):):)

[GBagley]

They're handmade by Mike Kinal. Check his website for ordering info and prices.

[tornmask]

Beautiful & Groovy Man!! Gorgeous Bass also great sound!! Thank U fer da vid. =0)

[eltotoX]

Whoa this is aawesome. I love jazz, but I don't know much about the name of the different types of jazz, what would you call this?

Anyway, great work, love the sound of that bass, especially with those strings.

[GBagley]

Thanks. I've never been very good at classifying different types of music. I just listen to the stuff I love!

[7wazoppi7]

I think, from my knowledge in jazz band, that this is a ballad

[N4um4nn]

It used to be called cool jazz. And yes: this is ballad.

[ohxMissMandy]

well miles davis is known for his be-bop.. but blue in green is a lil different

[shwabity]

Oh my god -.-

This man takes bass and puts it where it should be... AKA wherever the hell it wants to be.

Straight from your soul to my ears, now straight from my soul to your moniter: Thats groove. You are one of the most talented people I have ever seen. I love you for this sound.

[Pasestoli]

That's incredible! The sound of your bass is like a sweet massage for my ears. Never stop, Greg!

[isaiahangelo]

That is the tastiest sounding acoustic bass guitar I've ever heard. It suits the Jazz idiom really well I think

[Gettinghitonattheban]

Great! I liked your space. Most bassist, when playing songs like this and My Foolish Heart, tend to strangle the song in notes. I like your style. I too like to use my ears for my lines, but I still freak when there's no Lead Sheet or Chord Chart. Any tips?

[GBagley]

If you're trying to learn a song purely by ear, I usually start by figuring out the root notes for each chord first. Then listen for the top note of the chord, and fill in the pieces from there. Just listen over and over again and try things out until it sounds right. Always learn the Melody, and even transcribe some solos. The more you use your ear, the easier it gets!

[tovan05]

Nice man real Nice

[CRVZS]

I dont know anything about jazz music... (only marcus m, alain caron.. pff.. and a bit more) but I love this song.. Im learning it know because i love your video. I did my suscription!

[GBagley]

Yep, I've got the Bass Clef Real Book (6th edition). When I'm learning pieces like this, I try to get to the point where I really know how all the chord changes sound, and then from there I use my ear to play whatever comes to mind. Usually using the root as a starting point and then embellishing from there. I try to play by ear as much as possible, rather than thinking too much about what notes are flat/sharp or what intervals/scales might work best.

[GBagley]

Thanks. I'm a big Lafaro fan! Check out my vid of Gloria's Step :)

[Graeme20051988]

Sooo nice - being a funkhead I'm not often taken by jazz but this is awesome!

[subschool5]

great playing

[Musicislove123]

Nice man!

[spdwolf]

Man, this is awesome! The vintage style suits the music! You are inspiring me to take up the bass! 5/5 Stars!

[BassIsFun17]

noice!

[ment4lbre4kdown]

This would have been better, had it been with that sexy Stambaugh 6-string of yours ;) Jazz on, dude!

[GBagley]

Haha. I've been favoring this bass for Jazz lately. Certainly would have sounded different with a big fretted electric bass! :)

[ment4lbre4kdown]

Speaking of which, put some more pics up on Metboard ;P

[GBagley]

What...my thread of a billion pictures isn't enough? ;)

[ment4lbre4kdown]

Not until you reach the billion mark :)

[GBagley]

Well, until then go to photobucket and search for "JasonFan" - you'll find my account there where I have tons more pictures uploaded ;)

[infusion26]

Nice tone !

[C33Four]

Is there a reason why you don't use your thumb as an anchor?

[GBagley]

Just part of my style I guess. Leaving my thumb floating makes it easier to move my hand around more fluidly from string to string. I also use my thumb for muting, so I'll be lightly resting my thumb on any of the lower strings that I'm not playing to keep them from ringing out or making unwanted noise.

[C33Four]

interesting style! Reminds me of Jaco. I've seen most of your videos and their all really well done, but I don't think you had played like that for very long. Of course, it would make more sense if I have no idea what I'm talking about. Also, I would like to make a request; James Jamerson's Darling Dear. I know you have the book ;)

[speddling]

it's a great technique... I spent a long time trying to get my thumb off the pickup. Great job on the tune... the 'vintage film' FX on the video makes it ^_^

[GBagley]

Yeah, I like the effect very much! Something about Black and White videos always seems to suit this kind of music best.

[Musicislove123]

Nicely done my friend!

Cheers!

[ibanezcollector]

let me be the first to say WOW.. awesome job... :)
