Want to become a better improvising bass player and receive great musical content from arpeggios to grooves?
If so, then subscribe to my channel and join me on a journey of jazz, funk, blues, Latin, rock and pop bass explorations!
I upload new bass guitar lessons every week, along with posting performance videos showcasing my original music.
My bass lessons, tips and techniques cover chord tones, jazz improvisation, walking bass lines, practice habits, grooves, bass technique, jazz harmony and theory, ear training, and so much more!
Please remember- YOU will develop a "Higher Consciousness Through Greater Musical Content!"
There are no keys of A#, D# & G#. There are 15 keys in Western Music- 7 flat keys, 7 sharp keys and the key of C which has all natural notes. I list them all in this video.
I also got myself a copy, and could really use some more info on the augmented scale, and how it's used in practice. My theory lags a lot compared to my playing!
Hi Joe, I bought this new book yesterday. As always excellent content! Do you plan to release more videos about the 24 exercises? More about augmented scales, please!
Hey bass community! I'm excited to share this new video showcasing two exercises from my latest book, 'Intense Bass Warm-Up Guide.' These etudes are designed to not only warm up your fingers but also challenge your musical thinking and prepare you for real gig situations. If you found these exercises helpful, there are 22 more waiting for you in the full guide. Check out the link in the description for more info and the special launch price. Let me know in the comments which exercise you found most interesting or if you have any questions. Keep grooving!
@@JoeHubbardBass Hey Joe, how can I systematically learn the exercises you presented? I've been playing ebass for 30 years, but haven't done anything for ten years and now have a small band again. I'd like to learn this very modern stuff as well as the normal 251 connections. I'm retiring in three years and would then like to start my second career as a bass player. Especially when you play at a hobby level, it's difficult to find people. That's why I want to get better. Maybe you have an idea! Best regards Norbert
@@nosi1967 It's really about trying to find an equal balance of improvising over chord changes using more of a "tonal" bebop approach, combined with a more "atonal" or outside approach with less harmonic restrictions and then learning to interchange these concepts at will. This is the main outline that I use to teach people how to improvise.
I found you again! We met on Gary Numan's album tour. What an amazing guy you are. Honestly, for me, you are one of the craziest but best bass players in the world, and a martial artist as well! Hahaha, you crazy guy. Are you living in London now or in Miami? Are you touring or teaching? Hey everyone, Smokin' Joe is the real deal. Him and Dick Morrissey (Saxophone) are my favorite musicians. Sending much love Joe,you are looking great!Oh this may surprise people again but for me,smoking Joe is a much more interesting player than Pino,just listen to his playing on Gary Numan Warriors album,now that's S**T hot playing!...
