@dex: To be a bass player, you must have rhythm. Think about a walking bass line - a strong internal pulse that acts as a metronome is a MUST! No teacher, no matter how brilliant, can help a student without innate rhythm. If this person was my student, I would stop taking his money and suggest he study Cosmetology.
OMG! One of the worst instructional videos EVER! He needs to forget Paul Chambers for several years and work on just keeping time. It's a nice sounding bass but truthfully, what is an excellent tool if there is an inept practitioner behind it?
Is this a joke? How can you teach a lesson when you suck at bass? Your time, technique, intonation, and tone all suck. Take these horrible videos down.
hey man...nice playing...spl with the metronome on 2 and 4! it creates the swing! good idea improvise for four beats and come back to a fixed phrase....great exercise for the mind...u can relax and think about what you are gonna play for the next bar! very nice....cheers and thanks for the lesson.
If you guys like the upright bass check out jazz musician Esperanza Spalding. She talks about her new album, Chamber Music Society in this video, Youtube.com/watch?v=uk-oJGAXSjA
Engelhart ES-9 is a beauty. Make sure anything you buy has a planed neck and an adjustable bridge, otherwise you will need to undertake addl expense to set it up.
you have to go and play before you buy. the make and model do not matter. ususally hand carved or hybrid basses are better than lamanent, but there are lamanent basses that hold there own. your instrument should be based on the sound you wanna make with it
Folks, if you want to integrate Paul Chambers, TRANSCRIBE the bass playing on the records on which he played. Don't take any advice from these "Expert Village" videos, all you need is a metronome, recordings, and a good teacher/mentor.
Hey DaisyMax44, I like his afro, and his technique looks pretty solid, I've copied it and my playing has improved ten fold. Why dont you put up a video of yourself playing in your ' Skool Orchestra ' and maybe you could show us how to hold a bass properly.
after 1:03 he rushed, but then he fixed it. it was really slight. i dont like repeating the same phrase over and over again unless there was some kind of interaction between the soloist. but i get the point he's trying to make
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this guy creeps me out!! i play bass in the orchestra at my skool. hes not holding the bass right, he has the most hideous afro, and he needs his hand lower on the neck. there arent any notes all the way up there!!!
just added the 1-5-3-5 to may aresnel. The alternating between 1-5-3-5 then whatever I choise sounds great even if the alternating line is boring I have been playing electric bass for 5 years. Thanks a bunch. Your a cool cat.
this guy is good, I like the wy he explains, not sure if I were making I would be fine with a motronome))

Funny, I'm hearing plenty of notes. Nothing wrong with good ol half and first positions. And he seems to be holding the bass fine to me.
