Dwele Truth Bass Jam (Sadowsky NYC) 

This is awesome it sounds like the Bassist from Sublime if he played Hip Hop Bass

om damn g!!! you play every song that i love...neo soul is my thing!!!! i love this...and i'm learn bass now

@dlight247 yeah ears are the most important in music; you could be 7 feet tall with huge hands like Pino or Ron Carter, you would still have to hear and to hear naturally (without having to think about it), you have to listen A LOT :) i know you mean it cause i feel the same way about other "unknown" players but knowing precisely where i "took" things to build up "my style" i just can't do anything but feel honestly humble about all that.Thanks again Darren and keep grooving and enjoying ;)

I've listened to this like a dozen times since last night. It's quite remarkable how you can conjure that P bass tone. I know that has everything to do with your velvet touch too though. Tbh I think I prefer this to a traditional P sound. It has the woody, airy sound we love, but pares off the clanky edges and adds more focus and sustain. Very hip stuff, great player.

Playing to loops is THE ONLY way to practice. You set a great groove, my friend.

some serious business here on one of many of my fav tunes by dwele! respect!

Simply great

You will always be my Favorite bassist. Ive learned so much from you and how you play. Im too shy to put up more vids of me playing but listening to you makes me love the bass even more every time

Yooo ima bass player that lives for neo-soul, and you got some soul bro..

thanks Ben i used to make beats with a MPC like 10 years ago so it helps a lot when i'm doing all those loops/beats to play along to ;)

So smooth

I need to learn how to play the bass now

Dayyyyyyyum that's funky!!!

@emef44 Thanks, in this case, Nuendo but any recording/edinting software will do. Actually, it's not really a loop; since there's no bass-less spot on this tune, i took the Rhodes chords playing on the begining, chopped 'em and took the drums playing for one bar right before the tune kicks in,then i mixed keys&drums.

@TPBass1224 Thanks :) Yeah definately, it will get you ready to play with other musicians ultimately (besides, that's a lot of fun ;)

@Eastside28Kee thanks bro, really 'preciate it even more if u're a fan of the original song (his 1st album is his best work imo) peace out

U KILLED IT !!!!!!!! The way u chopped & the looped the track.... maaan ur like a producer... I bet the "F" in "Greg F" stands for FUNK!!

hella smooth man. I like your style. You made one tha best songs sound so good. Thumbs up from lil'kee eastside denver

ur bass sounds so much nicer on this tune than the original! very nice playing as well.

#dope

Love it as usual. What do you use to make your loops?

@Fjord76 Sometimes i think learning by ear is better than any teacher because teachers don't always know what it is you want to learn, i would rather learn by ear and do my own research. I actually mean it, a lot of the things you play are so incredibly dope i cant help but to favor you man. I can definitely hear Pino in your playing, You, Pino, Jamerson, and Thaddeus Trybett are my influences. I really like the way you think musically, and when you lock into a groove it's bsick.

@jivinivanhotmailcom thanks bro (afaic, his 1st album is his best)

how old are those strings? lol but seriously great stuff! keep them coming!

...im starting the bass....any tips for learning??
