Here are the learning materials, videos with tabs and comments, some fun stuff, and a bit of life stories about my way in music. I hope you'll find what you enjoy the most!
This is so much easier to understand than any other video explanation I've probably ever seen. Please keep making them. PS I love Cort products! I only have a Dean Jbass right now.
Wow - I don't think I have every seen this explained so clearly! Perhaps most good "players" are not such good "teachers". Great job - And such nice energy!
@@gopherbarney8707 I might need it, but it’s hard to decide actually! On different sound sources this sounds different, and in my headphones it’s fine. It might not be fine in the other devices. However, thank you for the heads up, I’ll try to be more careful!
Very nice explanation. It's nice to see someone putting emphasis on the use of chord tones, and chromatics. It works well for improvising, and ad-libbing, too. A metronome is a fantastic tool. It is relentless, and waits for no one.
@@Dave-nt3kz thank you! Yes, the metronome is irreplaceable! However, it might be difficult to get used to practicing with it, and here the support from the other musicians means a lot!
How quickly people adopt to decadent western practises : "Hi guys"...; alright, it might be worse: when I went to Bath two months ago, I was taken aback, everybody adressing me with "how are you" or even "are you alright?" - at first, I thought they were going to provoke me, but no, these bastards nowadays "communicate" like chimpanzees. I went to see Salisbury and Wells cathedrals; not only that they charge entry fees of 14,- pounds, in both churches people had brought nasty dogs inside and were allowed to do so! When I made a remark about that to one of the supervisors, this ape condescendingly sneered: "They are all god`s creatures, aren`t they?" I surely regretted that I forget to bring some roaches and earthworms... The anglos are always the spearhead of decadence. Thank God that Russia exists, the last bulwark against western decadence.
Excellent teaching, mecolleague. You just taught me that I shouldn’t be breezing through my lessons like I have been doing. Got a bit too used to the job, but your approach has just refreshed mine. Thank you 😊
I never cared about T. Swift, but this very bassline makes me happy. Astonishing how we may find beauty in places where we least expect them; now let`s get my bass and start playing.
That was time when I mostly replaced the solo lines/voices with the bass. I liked it, but now I realise that people want more stuff related to the typical use of the bass guitar. However, I’m glad that you like it!!! ❤️
I simply FOUND that when you use the Sliding technique; it seams easier for myself to achieve.( and i love the sound it creates that is unique to string instruments) Tx. J.p.
The only time before when I heard two basses at the same time was when I attended a concert of Jeff Berlin in Halle/Saale 20 years ago; it was a trio, a drummer, himself and another bassist and it worked out just as tight as your "double-self". By the way, thanks again for all your trouble, like putting up these tablatures; there is always a lot of work involved that many people take for granted.
A couple of years ago I briefly joined a local roots reggae band with folk from Argentia, Indonesia, Lithuania, Venezuela and a couple of kiwis (one of them was me!) It was a treasure trove of language and accents 💜
If I’m ever put on the spot to audition or show someone something on the bass-this is the go to! Such a great chord progression! I always start on C but am not sure what key that is. Where are you starting?
Okay-I’m in! So can we do a kickstarter to get her a quality bass? It sounds fine but she should have something worthy of her chops! I know Cort makes some good stuff and seems to be bigger in the European market…what’s your dream bass? Reverend Wattplower, Mike Watt’s signature is a 30” short scale.
Thank you so much for this! I’d like to have a whole set of basses 😅 I used to have a nice collection before I moved a country. There were the nice ones: a Lakland, a Fender short scale, a Warrior, and a Greco semi acoustic… I’m still sad that I had to sell them all. Now I’d be happy to have at least one more full scale decent bass. I hope to get it when I monetise my channel. Maybe, soon enough! ☺️
Well, now as I am through, I must admit that I knew this old tune for a long time (Eric Burdon sang his heart out in the 1960-ies), but would never have thought, that there was so much in it, so much to say and explain. Your abilities to explain with musical logic and deep feeling are unique, Tatjana and every young person that is allowed to learn from and by you, may call him/her lucky.
They are also named the quarter notes and the eighth. You probably have heard of them. It is a bit confusing, and it’s because of the different traditions - American and European ones. 🤷♀️
These steady comments are priceless; I am afraid that I repeat myself, but I have never seen anything remotely similar anywhere on youtube. Nobody, with the exception of you, would mention the beating of the human heart in this context - it is so obvious, noone who heard/read it, will ever forget. Reminds me of Stevie Ray Vaughn, when he was talking about different rhythms (the shuffle, then) and said : "It all comes from human beings, moving, walking".
@@user-yp2mw2ko9k thank you indeed! I started putting comments just recently as an experiment. Before that I didn’t even think that would be interesting for anyone, but it looks like I often has something to say, and it helps some people. It makes me happy! ☺️❤️
@@khankann Good morning, Tatjana, from the all inclusive, pedagogical and, last not least, human understanding/intuition - standpoint, your videos are the best tutorials I have ever had the pleasure to attend. I understand you completely - we need echo/feedback from the outside world, to feel sure that we are on the right track, don`t we? Just for fun - you surely know Michail Bojarskij - imagine him four years younger and you will get my picture, but it only works if I wear a black hat. This coincidence has aroused a lot of funny and entertaining moments when I travelled across Russia - we all have our "Doppelgänger" somewhere in this world and sometimes we find them in the most unexpected places. 😋
Забавное видео. Себя я среди этих категорий не нашел, я просто, если так можно сказать, "коллекционирую" акценты, для меня интересно угадать, откуда говорящий, по особенностям его произношения. Например, вы знали, что русский акцент очень похож на бразильский из-за схожести набора звуков в бразильском португальском и русском? А как интересен южный американский акцент, обращали внимание? А уж сколько акцентов в Британии и насколько это забавно может звучать, не передать словами, это нужно слушать. Не будьте так однобоки в своем восприятии, не каждый, кто что-то замечает, хочет вас задеть или обидеть ;) И да, в одной теме, что вы задели, всё близится к финалу, все цели СВО будут достигнуты, начинайте потихоньку менять отношение к этому вопросу, так же, как это уже начали делать крупные западные политики. Скоро за поддержку "страны 404" и в ваших краях начнут недолюбливать. Всего вам доброго ;)
@@khankann ок, я добавлю ваш канал в черный список. Я вообще не планировал смотреть это видео, мне нужен был только шагающий бас, но вы сами прислали мне эту ссылку. Что ж, больше я ваши видео не увижу. И совершенно не жаль.
awesome. I’ve been thinking. All music between musicians is talked about while using the number system. The one thing that I have always wanted was to be able to see where I am and where I am heading on tab with the key changes. Say we are in the key of C and the song goes C C F G; if you can read sheet music then it’s simple as we know where we are, but it doesn’t matter as you are advanced enough for it to not really matter. I came up in the age of tabs. What a nightmare for understanding the fundamentals of how everything relates to everything else. You memorize but understand nothing. What I’m proposing is something new. Tabs have the key and cords at the top of each bar, but we add the number system next to it. Kind of like this. 1C 1C 4F 5G. I don’t know how to add this type of stuff on a video like yours…… but if we had a circle of fifths wheel printed into the top of your videos, and each bar lighted on the circle of fifths and the tab lit up at its exact time, I think the misunderstandings would “diminish”. What do you think?
Wow, thank you, that's such an interesting idea! That would probably help with understanding, but I'm afraid I just can't do it. First of all, my editing skills are not advanced enough to make it without spending the crazy amount of time and getting frustrated. Second, often the chords don't just go this simple way. For example, having E flat major chord in the basic key of C major, and things like that. The "sudden" jumps in the circle of fifth can make it all just more complicated. However, that is definitely something I need to think about! I want to figure out an easy way how to explain the chord relations.
@@khankann what if we just used color. Have a color key on top that is stationary with the rainbow like this Red=1 C major, Orange =2 Dm Yellow =3 Em etc Then draw a square around the corresponding bar? Just a silly idea, to spark another better use case. Or just edit a 5 into the frame as it starts then at the next bar turn it to a 7 Thanks for all you do.
Russian women are mostly more stylish than their western counterparts; at least once in your life you should visit Russia, at least Moscow, otherwise you will miss the best part of this planet.
I have never seen such an instructive video like this one, the accompanying commentaries are awesome, it is like storytelling, whilst the music is playing. This is especially how classical music should be explained to young people, it would make it much more accessible for them. Anyway, you have got a huge new fan. С уважением из Германии
@@user-yp2mw2ko9k thank you very much! And especially for such a great idea about explaining classical music for kids! It must work perfectly, and I need to think about it! 😄☀️
@@khankann Oh, if I were your neighbour, I would love to help you! I well remember when I was a teenager and had no musical education at all, I was kind of afraid of classical music and thought that it was some kind of weird stuff for eggheads and aliens, because I had no access whatsoever. There were these lessons by George Bernstein long time ago, the so called "young peoples concerts" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U6JsfDIo4TA.html - but I am afraid that they were quite impressive for the adults sitting by without really improving the poor kids` understanding. Years later on I attended a weekend seminar by a polish guy (he is here on youtube as well, but I have to search for his name); it was called "the sonata form" and helped me a lot, but nevertheless it did not reach the level of what you have been doing; for example, when you mention the modulations, we do hear that there is some kind of change in the song but when you explain HOW it is being done, it becomes much easier to understand. Спокойной ночи
2:22 This is why adore russian women speaking english: instead of "splittt", she says "now we spleeet", it is balsam to my ears, sounds so educated; the coarse english language should surely be reformed the russian way. 🐻
@@khankann Well, it is one of my "hobbies", so to say to listen carefully to what people say and how they do it, something rare today, I suppose, especially in these awful days of "cool" and "wow" ! 😁
@@IngBass тогда вам может понравиться вот это видео. Вы даже сможете найти себя в описании одной из групп моих комментаторов) On RU-vid with an accent - How to survive and keep going ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HP5hn4D-vuc.html
@@khankann спасибо. У подобного акцента есть свои плюсы -- речь воспринимается так, будто я слышу разговор на русском, воспринимается максимально легко. А за само видео спасибо, сейчас тот материал, который я играю, как раз требует подобного импровизации :)
Super fast fingers, I am quite jealous! Very well played too of course. Have a listen to the bass in the track the real which John Entwhistle also played on. That track taught me to improvise on bass guitar! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H2h1MY70uag.htmlsi=hAD-SAwwKj5VmkQg
0:55 "If I could I`d get rid of it..." Never! Don`t! I will never forget when I first flew to St. Petersburg ten years ago and next to me in the plane sat a lady like you from Russia, who had moved to some plance in America. I was fascinated by her english pronounciation, which sounded so lovely, just like yours, with this certain undertone, for example: "could, book" - instead of saying it short and emotionless, russian women make it sound long and lovely "Coooood", "booooek", I just love it, somehow there is much more music and less aggressiveness in the pronounciation, at least compared to the usual american brawl. It is quite different, of course, when you listen to educated english people talking fine Oxford english, that cannot really be improved 😁.
@@user-yp2mw2ko9k oh, you don’t even know how important your comment is to me! I’m starting feeling that I needed to make this video to reassure myself and be able to go on much confidently than before. Thank you indeed! ❤️❤️❤️
Russians have a natural ability for teaching - just compare her to the million of fierce and self - conceited guys in shabby clothes with their condescending ways; she is so refreshingly different.
@@Keith-rk4td I actually do not know why people usually serve this stuff as a difficult one! They do, and it’s everywhere in the world. What a weird tradition! 😅❤️
