The way I heard to visualize the shuffle would be to play triplets but leave out the middle note. I guess some similarity to the swing beat which has that long -short feel. Sounded great with the walking lines.

When I started on bass mid 60s Paul McCarthy was my bass hero. I learnt all his bass lines religiously for years. I listened to many other bass players , but none of them graded me the way Paul did....... such melodic lines and playing ...... so what if he used a plectrum !!!!! Then I got hooked on Nathan East and my playing has improved since then ..... also such melodic playing and clever in the way he uses the pentatonic, chromatic, arpeggios and all the scales. I am still a huge McCartney fan and to me Nathan is a worth while co leader. I am earning soo much just by listening to him and deconstructing his lines. Thanks for this site. A huge fan from South Africa.

👍🏻 I started on guitar when I was 13. I got a bass at age 16, but for decades, I played bass like a “guitarist playing bass.” I studied classical & Flamenco guitar & tried to apply them to the bass. However, I still didn’t have that bass “feel.” Now, after so many decades I am trying to think & play like a bass player. 👍🏻
@TennesseeVolfan

I have always picked out, listened for, or sang the bass part for about every song I hear on the radio, at church, etc...done it for years for whatever reason. This made playing bass much easier for me....I can play a boring bass line or jazz it up a bit...it depends on the mode of the song for me....
@tonekilltech
@tonekilltech 2 года назад
As a bass player first and guitar player second, I feel like when people say "play bass like a guitar player" what they mean is "play bass like a BAD guitar player", which unfortunately is the most common kind. A good guitar player should be able to play bass with good feel and appropriate rhythm oriented parts because that's part of the core skill set for a guitar player as well. It's just that many guitar players only focus on lead playing and their attempts at bass playing reflects that.

I never knew Yamaha basses were so good. Since studying Nathen East I picked up a nice green Yamaha bass like his only a 4 string. The shuffle is a good lesson and similar to my shuffle lesson on my channel.

​@@mattfoley6082 Not that stupid at all, base more or less means the foundation of which other things extend, which is generally the purpose of the bass in an ensemble, which is why the word evolved from that. You seem more stupid yourself for your pedantry and inability to make that connection.

Good morning Mr. Nathan, after many years I decided to learn to play the bass I'm a beginner, (I can't read music), I saw and reviewed the 2001 Budokan Tokyo concert with Mr Clapton and I must say that, for me , that concert is a bass encyclopedia. I would like, if possible, that you would give me some fundamental tips in order to get as close as possible to your playing. All the pieces performed in that concert are interesting. Difficult to say or explain to anyone that the bass gives emotions, Thanks Mr. Nathan. I'm Flavio from Treviso Italy

@gomher9145
@gomher9145 4 года назад
If I were to say the bass player needs to be ever so slightly ahead, timing wise, would that be correct? It seems like the confidence to lead is needed for a bass player? I may be all wrong I am not yet a bass player.
@JoeMM5
@JoeMM5 4 года назад
Gomher i would disagree, it depends highly on the exact situation, band, setting, song all change it but in my experience it’s much more common for the bass player to be playing slightly behind the beat. If anything, you will do a better job leading by playing bang on the beat in a lot of situations. It’s something you need to be able to determine for yourself but definitely don’t go by rules, go by your ear. I also wouldn’t say the bass player needs confidence to lead, in pretty much every way they aren’t the leading role, whoever’s playing melody is much more the ‘leader’ in the sense of what people are actually listening to. However the bass player does need to have the confidence that they are often the glue bringing the band together so if you’re playing bad everything will suck.

OK, you can say that the difference between the two demos was the second had "feel", but you can also say that the second sounded better because it had walks, arpeggios, covered more neck (octaves)...etc. The only different "feel" I saw was the expression on his face, the actual playing was the same throughout
