Sei Jazz Bass Jam

[surfertron20000]

Fantastic grooves man :D

[LeonheartCloud91]

Yeah, I like it man xD but I can't agree with the "jazz" word in the title xD

[Beginnerbassman]

Great Job! What bass and amp were you using it sounded great!

[ijazzmunki]

@Beginnerbassman the bass is a SEI Bass (pronounced 'say') made by London-based german luthier Martin Petersen - it has a Glokenklang Pre and Nordstand NJ4 pickups on - I'm using D'Addario EXL180s and the bass is going direct into Logic Pro via my Boss RC2 Loop pedal - all sounds generated on the bass with no FX

[xCallirgos]

Tabs ? :)

[alkleiza1995]

thumbs up if you don't get any presents for christmas

[lucasvincentcardoso]

[avelpa1]

thumbs up if your getting a bass for christmas:)

[paulopvpaulo]

Amazing sound man! Your bass is beautifoul!

[Prostheta]

Jazz is like porn. I know it when I see it, plus it always has men pulling funny faces just before the climax.

[machaquete]

que alguen me diga donde descargar partituras de jazz para bajo grax

[FrancescoCasta]

Perfect! No mistakes.

[91jubaku]

Awesome tone and playing! :D ... I should learn to play slap style ._.

[ThePyroPunk]

Holy s***.

[Unknown7532]

You are awesome. 

[handicappedhoods]

What a lovely tone you are getting... Wish I could get that tone. Lovely song ideas too.

[TripleOctaveMusic]

I love your Bass' tone even though I'm a sax player LOL

[TheONETHEATER]

You are great.

I like this song.

[Witheraf]

[Colaz00]

This shit is so smooth. I love it.

[AmigoFiell]

[Nexvionsify]

its good but your rhythem fade away...

[MrEnviousMonster]

absolute SHRED

[jclterry]

lost 4 words smh very nice

[Ybatec]

it was great, but no way jazz

[ijazzmunki]

@Ybatec the term 'Jazz' in the description refers to the design of the bass not the music - i.e. this is a Jazz bass, not jazz music - hope that makes sense

[Ybatec]

@ijazzmunki it does, thanks ;)

[XIIOniOokamiXII]

@Ybatec idk what you're talking about... it sounds like jazz to me... >.>

[Ybatec]

@XIIOniOokamiXII seems like you've no notion dude.

[XIIOniOokamiXII]

@Ybatec .... okay... rude?

[XIIOniOokamiXII]

@Ybatec this doesnt really fit into any other genre except for jazz... if it does then PLEASE enlighten me...

[Ybatec]

@XIIOniOokamiXII this is funk dude! he slaps, slides and plays some bluesy riffs

[XIIOniOokamiXII]

@Ybatec still sounds jazzy... just let me have my opinion okay?

[Ybatec]

@XIIOniOokamiXII i do let you have your own opinion, but i don't let you say it is Jazz ;D

[OpiumKoolaid]

@Ybatec You wouldn't know jazz if it was lit on fire and shoved up your ass you dumb shit.

[Ybatec]

@OpiumKoolaid Woow, is there anybody trying to impress with hard insults? I hope you're not trying to tell ME something about Jazz, boy.

[TacozzHD]

I'm a guitar player, but I'm just now discovering the fact that I think I was created to play bass .-. I picked it up ten times faster than the guitar.. but I think that may be that I know the basics to playing a fretted, stringed instrument x]

[nexusvision]

Love that sound and mix you get there...!

[kaoD]

more like funk bass

[Royelmesias]

2:20 excelente

[Blubber120]

Sorry to bother you, but. What would you reccomend for a bassist who wants to do more funk and jazz oriented stuff. I'm trying to get into doing more complex stuff than just Big Band and 50's stuff.

[AlvarOfficialTube]

very nicee!

[bnCOD]

Wow!.. wish you gave me some lessons!..

[udlman]

Hey Mike,

I've been following your vids for sometime now. Great stuff! As for this vid, can you demonstrate slowly, if you haven't already, how you do the run at 2:15?

thanks! 

[jjelaso123]

Very well done... excellent tasty you are the bass man

[arsenalgillingham]

brilliant stuff.... what scale sequence is this based on? Dorian or pentatioic major etc?



[arsenalgillingham]

brilliant stuff.... what scale sequence is this based on? Dorian or harmonic major etc?

[TsaRlieCaT]

what is this thing you put between the  pickups?

[vountourisjunior]

your fretless what bass is and how much does it cost?

[4memememeful]

if i had money i would buy it :/

[steweDbass]

Nice ideas dude! Keep up the imaginative work.

[errrnes]

Che man, te hago una consulta, toco el bajo, me sale bien el slap el pop. pero no logro conseguir la tecnica que haces entre 2:13 hasta el 2:20 aprox. que tecnica es? Gracias :)

[TheAndysanz]

@errrnes double thumbing

[errrnes]

[bobagon79]

[omartheomar]

[HippufyS]

I fell in love with this song <3

[silent90]

wooooowww..... gj

[godofwar13]

Very impressive. I've just started getting into jazz playing on my bass.

[bassmanBD]

what type of pedal are you using to record that track. and beautiful bass :)

[ijazzmunki]

@bassmanBD I'm using the Boss RC-2 - really good and affordable looper - well worth looking at

[adriank9]

@ijazzmunki how do you control drums with RC-2? and what drum machine do u use? thanks

[ijazzmunki]

@adriank9 hey dude - I don't is the answer - I used Logic Studio Pro to record the sound on this video - so I set up a nice drum loop in Logic then jammed along with it - the RC2 is between me and the Mac so I simply looped the chords and played along with them. Does that answer your question?

[adriank9]

@ijazzmunki hello, yep, thanks pall

[bestdrummerever1234]

@ijazzmunki that cool man, i have a boss pedal board with boss distortion, acoustic simulator , phaser , tremolo , chorus , with a crybaby wah but i wanna know how the boss RC-2 is so i can start looping some rhythm tracks

[eccho13]

damn that's a sexy bass. Nice tone too =D

[milkterd1]

this is goin on my ipod

[alycap88]

You must like Marcus Miller!

[lutheriapalhares]

@alycap88

i gree with you definily like marcus miller

[cfk2007ad]

Great playing bro.. bass has fantastic tone

[WatchNThink]

may i use this track as the background music of my upcoming webshow?

[capemamaforhorror]

just amazing! mate! are you in a band? i hope so if not you should be in one. lol

very relaxing.

and going in my favs

[Warboy675]

the bass is so versitlie

[Saulvh]

AMAZING!!

[klearkrystle]

brilliant your slapping reminds me of marcus miller xx

[BassKillen]

In the beginning it sounds like metallicas to live is to die jam

[tambzki]

*bassgasm*

[Davathehuttt]

nice!

[marcotamazildjian]

I LIKE IT

[DiamondUrine]

Your slap tone is very Marcus Miller. I like it.

[TheRico1992]

very good!

[FractionsOfInfinity]

fucking amazing dude!

[koreanjeenyus]

My ears are orgasm-ing notes

[xGreenHouseVidiosx]

what is your preference for fingerstlye and jazz? flat wound or round wound

[ijazzmunki]

@xGreenHouseVidiosx Roundwounds all the way - I like the sound of flats though

[hotgluefingerboard11]

@xGreenHouseVidiosx I would go with Half rounds if you can find them. They have all the tone of a round wound but with the flat surface of a flat wound. They're hard to find and expensive, but totally worth it

[maniac339]

Wow... your good.

[maniac339]

Wow... your good!

[randomemonoob14]

sweet bass playing. i play bass too but not as good as you

[oblivtube1992]

Hi, nice playing! true inspiration for me. I had a question recording your recording, what do you use to make these cool backing tracks to play over? Thank already

[moogandi]

definitely buying the album bro

[stratod3000]

Dude how about a tutorial on that slapping part.. its just awesome ,i'd sure like to know some nice steps and keys for that!

[Sequelification]

Goddamn fucking bass playing! Suberb!

[Chewyfied]

@ijazzmunki would you cite victor wooten as an influence by any chance?

[ijazzmunki]

@Chewyfied of course - Vic is amazing and I've loved and listened to his playing for years - not just his double thumbing - the guy has phrasing for days too!

[Chewyfied]

@ijazzmunki He's wonderful. Not someone I picked up on til I'd been playing for a few years, listening to vic brought about a change in the music I played.

[WilliamFawkes1]

My lord. This is what I strive for. I have been playing for about 2 years now and I thought I was getting to be really good... I have a lot of work to do...

[MrFunjoWorld]

daam......you just made me continue my dream to be a super bass player ;D

[MsFabiorosa]

MEU DEUS!!!!

It is what we say in Brazil! it means: My GODD!

[GatoradeIsNotJuice]

also, mike. I know you have the lesson vid up for 4 finger picking technique, and that is immensely helpful, but. could you possibly post a lesson on 4 finger picking riffs, rather than just the mechanics of the right hand? I have those down but Im still trying to learn how to apply them to realtime riffs, and if you could show us a few examples of that, at a bit of a slower pace, thatd be very beneficial. thanks man, keep it up

[GatoradeIsNotJuice]

1:42 to 1:49 was absolutely blissful. kudos mike flynn.

[13todays8ing]

I really love you. I just decided it. I love you. I want your album really bad. but i don't have any money at all. T.T

[Spence233]

Nice.

[steenbass]

A lot of people don't know much about Mike Flynn. Mike has played with Soweto Kinch, 'nough said.

[steenbass]

I don't know many times I've watched this video now. Your playing is just lush.

[ijazzmunki]

@steenbass Thanks mate -glad you enjoy it - you might like my album too (it has actual tunes on and not just lots of solo bass noodlings!)

[steenbass]

@ijazzmunki I listen to the album most days mate Lol!

[ijazzmunki]

@steenbass ace - glad you like it - hoping I can make some more tunes soon - but they'll be a bi different - some with vocals on too.

[zknn93]

lol bravo

[DJnaggin]

i fucking love bass, jesus!!!!

[awetbandit]

Good playing, my friend. That's dynamite.

[1993BigNasty]

How many national awards hav you won?? B/c If you told me all of them I would without a doubt believe you!!! You too good for YouTube...

[milanmikapajic]

very,very nice....

[Yonashky]

do you use scales in these or just simply make your own theory about it?tnx

[sertent13]

just Oh my god!

[13todays8ing]

Your freaking amazing. This video alone has greatly influinced my technique. thank you.

[nerdlish]

awesome bass work dude



[52ndWarhawkGerbil]

does anybody recommend any left handed basses under 200 dollars?

[SmithIRL]

u have my dream tone!! amazing skills on the bass dude ur awesome!!

[kalanquito]

Very beautiful sound of this bass !!!

[joe700700]

your quadruplets technique are incredible.....could you do a video just showing the triplets and double thumb techniques...thx.

[ijazzmunki]

@joe700700 dude I already made a video about the 4 finger picking stuff - I've added a link to the vid about the comes in a 2.22 but you can find it by looking at my profile and it's among the other vids I've made - hope it helps

[Yonashky]

did you use scales in these or just simply made your own theory?

[RLJB25]

YaHhhhhhhh play on brotha play on

[aogoalie2]

8 people missed the thumbs up button and/or have no sense in rhythm and style 

[thatotherguy9782]

ur amazing

[RockBass91]

I'm gonna have to agree with everyone that hates your playing. I hate it because I'm not even 1/10 the bassist you are. lol

I challenge Victor Wooten to do any better, and will be purchasing your album ASAP on iTunes. Freakin awesome.

btw what scales are you using there? I'm not much of a theory guy, I'm familiar with enough scales to use in my sort of music but I'm curious and always wantin to switch it up.

[ijazzmunki]

@RockBass91 thanks friend - as far as I can remeber the key is something like a minor blues in Aflat (Ab) minor - so I'm sketching around in the various modes associated with that - I tend to break scales in little fragments that can be played anywhere on the neck so it's not a case of just having loads of standard patters but actually being able to aim for a scale tone - say 9th or 7th - and then find different ways of getting there, but in all honesty I just followed my ear on this one...

[basspluto]

You're amazing....brilliant....

[r5strings]

I would really REALLY like the lick at 2:09 if it were better in time- it's a difficult lick. Where did you hear that?

[ijazzmunki]

@r5strings well considering I improvised the WHOLE of this solo I think that one lick came out OK - glad you like it - it's a little something I made up ;-) - though props to Wooten and Marcus for some of the bits on here - I just adapted them to fit my purposes...

[eatfirst]

@ijazzmunki I think it came out MORE than OK mate!

[banginstallion]

Why do people hate on your playing?

You are obvioulsy a virtouosos, amazing imporv!!

[ijazzmunki]

@banginstallion no idea man - it's easy to hide online and hate anonymously - I just do what I do and yes my vids on here aren't perfect but at least I'm trying!

[dillonnoilld]

@ijazzmunki trying and kicking alot of ass my friend! From one jass bass vet to another amazing job!

[nickojnr]

funky funky

[g4d4j5]

Holy cow, dude!! o_O

[LCFojomen]

Wow i love it :) Nice Job ! How is called your software to put sounds on video please ??? Because i'm looking for a good Software...

[ijazzmunki]

@LCFojomen I just Logic - the drum loop is straight out of the samples that come with it - and then I looped the chords with my RC2 Boss looper - the rest is all from the bass...

[LCFojomen]

@ijazzmunki Ok thanks :)

[taipan4523]

'Helluva pre-amp in that!  Nice sound!

[Naz6869]

Dude awesome ! How did you record this ? I don't know how to record both the video AND the sound at the same time and have such a nice quality !

[ijazzmunki]

@Naz6869 hey man - I run my bass into Logic and do all the sounds in there and tape it on my HD handycam at the same time - then I use Logic to add the sound to the movie - simples!

[Naz6869]

@ijazzmunki : Ok thanks. One last think though : how do you connect your bass to your mac ? Do you use a simple "jack convertor" ?

[camodudestrikesagain]

is that a custom bass

[molanstonewell]

Awesome stuff Urb :)
