How to Play Upright Bass : How to Play a Solo on the Upright Bass Guitar

[symmetrin]

Is this a joke?

[JewOfJazz]

Blankets are good.

[willyager]

These expert village videos are completely awful and I really hope there aren't any poor young bassists that take them seriously...

[spoofzilla]

Sorry, I think these so called "expert village" videos are just horrible. Plus, you're making it too complicated.  Just play what you feel....and that's not a guitar.

[stridegum1213]

Cm to F to Bb...thats not a jazz first of all...no 7ths...i know they're not mandatory but...ur an expert add that 9th or a 13th if you're feeling adventurous....

[TiesaYra]

you're okay, keep it going!

[nukes27]

His playing is as bad as mine on upright- difference is i dont teach lmao!

[SniPer9588]

You suck as a teacher, dude. Boo!

[bassvirgin17]

I think worrying about the changes complicates things too much, just play by ear and feeling and i think people as well as yourself will enjoy it more:)

[tubamanKevinU8]

hey, can some of you bass players out there leave some comments on my bass vid? thatd be great.

[primelchen7000]

You are playing an upright bass in the video. No Guitar. Could you correct the video title pls?

And, your expert intonation hurts my ears, especially from 2:10 on. I don't recommend this series either and the videos rating reflects this well.

[StopTheMoti0n]

WTH??? UPRIGHT BASS GUITAR???

[keepthefunk]

this sucks! And there is no "upright bass guitar"

[Catfishstudios]

Dean Pace Bass ... google it

[keepthefunk]

@Catfishstudios That is no guitar. What you (expert) want to say is EUB (electric upright bass)

[Catfishstudios]

wrong.. ... ck the radius of the board and the scale length on the Dean Pace Bass.. its a bass guitar standing upright. It fails... dont follow suit

[keepthefunk]

@Catfishstudios I cannot see any Dean Pace Bass in the vid. Can you?

[Catfishstudios]

You said..."There is no "upright bass guitar" ... I said yes there is , I pointed out that there is indeed upright bass guitars ... some even fretted .... check out Barker ... Im not trying to be in a pissing contest with you, but if your one of those who must be right regardless of reality, than fine. I gave you a chance to not fail...you wont take it.

[keepthefunk]

call it what you like. But what I see in the video is an upright bass. No guitar. No EUB. And, buddy, please keep cool instead of insulting me by email.

[reallity24]

What is this!!! Do you realize there is young people that really wants to learn how to play and by you showing this is cripple them? for life? Like my friend redhotchilliangel " if that its a expert, im Pablo casals

[sfmag1]

I don't recommend this series.

[infrangibletangerine]

I really wish he wouldn't call it the upright bass guitar. If anything it's an upright bass violin but really upright bass is enough said.

[spectorman09]

Idiot....

[joshlevine74]

Nice upright bass guitar!

[abecerril86]

how do u tell where a note is with out a fret bored

[dallorenz21]

practice, its like playing a fretless bass or guitar

[cannedspam1]

trust me, its easier than you think, and this guy sucks so he makes it look harder than it really is

[samuelferry]

It's not difficult at all, dude. I play Cello and Bass, and after playing Cello for just a few months, I was able to tell where everything was. Just practice and you'll be fine.

[berganbergan]

heeeyyyyy. WALDO is here!!! LOL!!

[redhotchiliangel]

if that its an expert, im Rostropovich

[myhandhurts2]

C5?? since when does Jazz uses C5?? dude, you arent even using the guide tones for goodness sake! you don't know what the fuck you are doing man! go sniff glue and die or smth, i think you would do the work some good this way.

[contrabaix7]

listen some music please and stop this hell.

[contrabaix7]

whats this joke? has been eating some drugs or what? erase this shit please!

[resolutionrevolution]

have you seen the 5/4 video? Priceless.

[nixli1980]

This is right out of Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job. So awkward. So wrong. So funny.

[ceebass]

upright bass guitar lol

[mimz305]

how much was that bass

[barrelracerforlife33]

on solos u dont always pluck

[bassmasta182]

In jazz, its plucking 99% of the time unless youre Mingus or Chambers

[Ryanvbon]

nope when soloing the bow is used sometimes...listen to miles' bassist

[SampsonFTL]

Hahaha, that would be Paul Chambers that you're thinking about, and he said him. But really, bow solos are really rare now.

[JDillaYO]

that bass is beautiful

[Raff365]

That bass is made of cardboard
