Prince is a super underrated bassist. It's often very minimalistic basslines, but very effective.

@BARTFUNKBASS 2 года назад

Maybe minimalistic, but not easy.

@levondarratt787 2 года назад

I don't think anybody who has a normal mind would underrate prince on bass.

@DiscoHank Год назад

Minimalist in terms of notes, but his hammer ons, trills, thumbing up and down and dead notes will keep you very busy!

@user-xt7cj4zv2x 2 года назад

I like the old school videos in the shed, its simple, the content of the lesson comes across very well every time. There is a place for high production videos, but sometimes the best lessons are in this format for sure, no distractions.

@stevenerwin6202 Год назад

I really like the old school videos also, I find myself steering away from sbl because there’s way to much talk and there also very annoying. Please go back to your roots and what you started with. The new videos come off very vey pretentious, I don’t want to hear all the yapping.

@BARTFUNKBASS 2 года назад

Prince recorded most of the bass lines on his records. 💜

@apostlej.k.diamond4119 Год назад

He recorded ALL of fhe bass lines on his music except when Sonny T. came along with NPG and even THEN Sonny was used as the convenience not the need and Sonny Thompson is that deal!!!

@BARTFUNKBASS Год назад

@@apostlej.k.diamond4119 Not all of them, but 99%.

@Ra1nemaker 2 года назад

Of all the instruments he played, I always loved Prince's bass playing the best

@christophercheney1006 2 года назад

Prince was such a great bass player! I saw him twice in '97. He had Rhonda Smith in his band. During the song "Face Down" they did a wicked head cutting duel. So good!

@BARTFUNKBASS 2 года назад

Wow! Is there any footage of it?

@OswaldBatesIIIEsq 2 года назад

2:52 The bassist who was said to have pioneered the double thump was Doug Rauch. He was on Santana's "Caravanserai" album.

@Snibborwocky 2 года назад

Fantastic idea for a future episode - How to play bass slightly tipsy lol j/k. Great video, I miss Prince and his music everyday still. He was a great all around musician including bass guitar ;)

@TheDanielleRichard 2 года назад

I always enjoy going back to my roots here as well. Getting to sit here with my bass and listen to your youtube videos like when I first discovered you. This week has been a real pleasure just before logging into my daily practice on the SBL academy online. I enjoy all these great teachers but you're my main man, always. Love Ian's passion as well, I connect to your enthusiasm so much. Thanks for this much needed motivation. Keep it up. PS: love the podcasts

@BassmanTeo 2 года назад

These lessons are phenomenal and the foundation for everything people are doing now. I’m so thankful you’re spending time and space 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.

@jondoe6062 2 года назад

Scott... I prefer this format, of the way you impart your extensive knowledge of our favourite instrument... learning all the time mate!

@RyvenProductions 2 года назад

I really enjoy these mini lessons. Thanks for all the hard work you and your crew do for the bass community. Easily my favorite bass related channel.

@matt2915 2 года назад

To answer your question in the beginning, I like the one-off videos that explain a single concept, but I also love the variety of Ian's bits and the work you do with other artists around the globe. In short, I dig it.

@headsup9820 2 года назад

Thank You Scott, your steadfastness and steady progress are admirable qualities that are necessary and benefit society on a whole at a large level!

@BrandonMilner 2 года назад

I think these videos do the best job of providing useful information AND subtly directing people to your courses. Of course you could teach an entire course on Prince... because he’s amazing

@mifflinfinity 2 года назад

Yes more old school Scott chats please. They’re very cool and add a personal touch to your channel that is much the reason why I became an sbl member in the first place

@Sheehy223 2 года назад

This format makes your teaching very easy to digest and more accessible. Feels less like I'm taking lessons so I can keep telling myself that I'm self taught.

@wilsdomain 2 года назад

*Hey, Scott! Here is a suggestion: Please make a comparison video focusing on the diverse bass playing techniques of Carol Kaye, Paul McCartney, Leland Sklar, John Paul Jones, and… James Jamerson.* *Some bass players use a pick (or a plectrum). Some use one or more fingers. Some pluck. Some slap.* *Heavy metal bass player Duff McKagen uses “a .73 guitar pick,” not a bass pick. James Jamerson is famous for the hook… his index finger.* *How many playing techniques should a new bass player/student be proficient in?* *Let’s set YT and G’s “algos” on fire.*

@devinebass 2 года назад

LOVE this idea :)

@charlescdt6509 2 года назад

Add Tina W to the list since she mostly used shorties. Awesome idea dude.

@edjefferson9175 2 года назад

While we're at it...Joe Osborn, Bob Babbitt and one of the greatest singing bass players Peter Cetera.

@duncan-rmi 2 года назад

I used dunlop .73 or .88 for ages, but kept dropping them during gigs, so went pickless about twenty years ago. no going back.

@4strings4me 2 года назад

McCartney was not a session player neither was John Paul Jones. Jamerson and Carol Kaye are in a class by themselves...

@iavor9365 2 года назад

I've been listening to Yebba on repeat recently. Great music, amazing vocals. Managed to see her at a show where she opened for John Mayer.

@edjefferson9175 2 года назад

Back in the day...I was there. I started going to clubs in '74. Before Prince and even before disco Minneapolis had a large community of fantastic funk musicians playing in clubs. They were my main influence. The rock bands were also very VERY good. The "Minneapolis Sound" had roots years before Prince arrived on the scene. He took it to the next (still current) phase and the title was born. I once had a brief chance to play one of his Fender basses. It had super slinky light gauge strings and very low action. It was so fun to play.

@rubenbickar8741 2 года назад

I really like the old-school players that you showed and their styles .That was awesome you learn from the past and you learn from the best and that’s how you get better.

@breitbartsimpson4940 2 года назад

Love all the content especially deep dives! Im a guitar player and took up bass about a year or two ago. It's awesome to get turned onto some musicians and music I never would've heard!

@MyNameIsMrStuck 2 года назад

I'm really enjoying the more old school video format (especially as somebody who's been watching since 2014) The fancy editing can certainly be nice for a visual aid, but I feel that I can absorb more knowledge when it's more direct like this. Either way, great videos!

@CurtisGabrielMusic 2 года назад

This content is where its at!! Just you, the bass and throwing down some knowledge!!

@g.medina3717 2 года назад

Old school is always the best! Keep up the great content Scott!

@jamanjeval 2 года назад

I love this deep dive! Watching the video where you felt the thumb technique originated from reminded me of a player I once saw. He wasn’t thumping, but he used only his thumb to play the notes, like a pick, mainly downstrokes. The rest of his fingers were anchored on the body of the bass. Was this a technique from the late 60’s/70’s? Maybe this slapping through the string was an extension of this right hand (thumb only) technique?

@christophlucke5654 Год назад

To be honest i really like most of your vids. I like the gear videos, liked the player specials and also love videos like these.

@papaigellert3662 2 года назад

Hey Scott! Heres a question/video suggestion. Trained classical musicians starting to play bass and jazz.. So new instrument and new genre. Differences in thinking, how to make use of an already developed technical affinity and skillset in mastering the bass and improvisation in particular. I started a bit more then 2 years ago. Finding the answers is not so difficult, but finding the right questions is what takes long. I would be really interested in your approach to this topic.

Have you ever done one on the late great Paul Jackson? That would be fun if haven’t yet. He was so amazing. Btw yes dig the retro dives. Maybe pair a different type of wine each time as well. And interludes are cool.

@jimbob6th 2 года назад

@6minus3minus2 2 года назад

I agree with the G string, but I routinely slap the D and it sounds good. I do however need my thumb parallel to the string, if it's angled too high up or down it muffles things. Often I'll also pop up and then slap down on the same string, with a holding a pick-like shape with my fingers, and that helps make the D sound better. That said I'm slowly trying to learn the thump through technique for the those G-string fills that so many funky players do.

@timothylawson3262 2 года назад

Larry called the style he started, thumping and plucking.

@briancherry8088 2 года назад

I find the follow-through often sounds less like a slap, than like a hard strum. When you showed down-thumb on the G and D strings, you got further from the fretboard, towards the pickups, where there is nothing to slap against. I agree though... I had to learn to follow through on the G string when slapping down-thumb.

@brettmarlar4154 2 года назад

Going back to the roots, is generally a good thing. This is no exception.

@goncalomarques2711 2 года назад

@Kreln1221 2 года назад

*The perfect simple example and exercise of this technique is Sly & the Family Stone's classic, **_Everyday People,_** as it's ONLY Larry Graham doing straight up & down Gs with his thumb, the ENTIRE song, (other than the sustained last G.)* 👍🎸

@thomasstrom1613 8 месяцев назад

You should do a review of the Mark King solo album Influences. He is playing almost every instrument including the drums. In the end of the track The Essential he does a slap solo that even today no one has been near. Also his finger playing is outstanding and the sound overall of his bass including the drums is hot. 🔥🔥🔥

@onsesejoo2605 2 года назад

Doug(las) Rauch of Santana has been forgotten completely. Please listen his playing on Santana album Caravanserai, e.g the song "Just In Time To See The Sun". The way he connects with the percussions is spot on. The bassist Jonas Hellborg even went as far in an interview that he stated Stanley Clarke being a copy of Rauch in playing style.

@BobWadeGuitar 2 года назад

A friend of mine and great musician was playing in San Francisco in the late sixties and down the street Sly's band was playing. He used to go hang out with them on breaks. He said that was the first time he saw anyone doing the slap thing.

@redv0id 2 года назад

Love these quick breakdowns! I very much agree with the shorter tighter content, but sadly the algorithm wants everything to be like TV 20min 40min etc... and who has time for all that? I don't want to hit 2 topics after work, I wanna hit 20, so I can't be watching 40 minute plus videos very often

Anyone knows what bass is Scott playing?

@KimSE4 2 года назад

Yeah, this content is really, really helpful - insights are often as crucial as lessons. One question though - how are you muting? I can't quite make it out from the video, but when I'm trying to learn the thumb-through on the higher strings the muting's a bit impenetrable.

@Auto_Funk 2 года назад

I agree - I do a bit of a hybrid where I "down thumb" E and A then "through thumb" the lower strings.... Muting does feel a bit odd/unnatural when through thumbing the top strings...

@MrWillyCC 2 года назад

Great lesson! But what was the name of that woman/group singing again???? That was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@D.Brett.Cartwright 2 года назад

we like you buzzed, Scott yeah, thumbing through the string is the same as finger plucking - through.. when you're high, do you still play as many notes - to get the groove across?

@fiscaldisco5234 2 года назад

@bazzfromthebackground3696 2 года назад

I can't figure out how to hit anything beside E. If I attempt it on any other string, I hit all the strings.

@craigcourt7593 2 года назад

What bass is that that you’re using Scott?

@radiozelaza 2 года назад

funny that Sting uses his thumb to thump strings in a "thru strings" way, but at the same time usually mutes the strings at the bridge to give the sound even more low end and oomph. He won't slap, though. He's a gent
