Back in the mid 1990s, Gary Willis, Scott Henderson, Scott Kinsey and Kirk Covington, otherwise known as Tribal Tech, emerged as one of the most fearsome jazz-fusion bands on the planet. Individually, they were all virtuosos, but together they took modern fusion to another level!
In today’s video I’m going to show you what happens when Gary Willis goes beast mode. I’ll teach you a thing or two about his ninja bass badassery as well!
As always, see you in the shed…
Scott :)

Gary was the biggest reason why I dropped out of university and left my full scholarship at UNT. I had a private lesson with him my sophomore year (last one of the day) and he let me come to the bar with him afterwards and over a drink he let me grill him about his life as one of the most successful jazz bassists (what I wanted to become). The stark reality of the life he described was so shocking to me (and later backed up by several other bassists I had the honour of meeting and studying with) that it snapped me out of my idealized picture of what life as a jazz bassist might look like. I dropped out a few months after that lesson. Smartest decision I ever made in my life. Moved back home to Canada, built myself a career. Later spent 7 years touring with a band for fun while on vacation from my new career and later got married and had 2 kids. It's sometimes bittersweet watching videos like this and thinking that had I not met Gary when and how I did, and had he not been so honest and forthright with me, I may have stayed on that track. While that path may be right for some, and in some cases the only path, it was NOT the path for me. I'm happy to dust my fretless off once in a while and play Gary's Bowlegged until my fingers bleed from lack of calluses. 🙂

Neil..Great story and very wise information to pass along to all us former wanna be and future bass player profi's..the dream is strong when we are young as is the desire..we practice for years and years, play in all kinds of bands, go to school to learn and become better and go to sleep dreaming of being this great in demand jazz/fusion/funk bassist..the reality is very different..It was very brave, honest and forthright of Gary to open up about his place in the world..I had a similar conversation with him over here in Europe when he was touring with Tribal Tech back in the late 90's..after a gig, I helped the band pack up and load into the van, afterword we had a chance to hang..very enlightening..I continued down the "trying to be a full time bassist road" for some time and with the time realized I too needed to drop out..Similar situation to yourself..I'm also from Canada but stayed put here in Europe, started a career, got married and had 2 kids..the loves of my life..Life's lessons eh..!! Peace

@rogerisafox 10 месяцев назад

Gary was one of the tutors at BIT in Hollywood whilst I was studying there around 1987, I haven’t played much in the last 30 years but watching these videos has inspired me to dust off my bass and see if my fingers will cooperate

@devinebass 10 месяцев назад

Do it!! 😀

@TheDanielleRichard 4 года назад

Oh God! This is so good. I just am so addict now! I started following you way back. Inspired me to get back to my shed. Then it got to the point where I felt the need for more serious stuff. And you built this incredible team around you to create your academy. Best thing ever. Year after year as I improve with your créative help. This video gives me a chance to plunge deeper into an other level. Your enthusiasm is shared 100 % from my part. Thanks to you all and looking forward for this next year coming as an SBL student.

@jazzbrew68 4 года назад

Great stuff. I appreciate you sharing how the cool bits are composed or why they work (pentatonics). Gary is a monster player AND teacher.

@gunthertobias3909 Год назад

Willis is Ridiculous !! Has been many decades . Many never heard him play standards too in a trio. Slams that also! Nice man, super intelligent and as good as anyone post Jaco playing fretless. Hear him blow hours on Giant Steps/ Humpty Dumpty. Willis is humble and a savage at same time. Massive respect to…. HEY WILLIS!!

Chris Squire - Fish out of water or any Anthony Jackson! :D

@JoseRodriguez-lg6mk 8 месяцев назад

Lol. what i've learned is that Gary can be "polite" when he's recording, if you've heard him play live in a smaller venue he rips it, levels above even what's here. I've got some great recordings, it's a shame there is so much clipping or id have posted them.

I know this is about Gary's beast mode, but a shout out to the drummer! He's going crazy

@RobertWadlow292 4 года назад

I'm bad with all these scales, chords and everything. I just play on the dots mostly and it seems to sound good 😂

@PabloUliver-Bass-Guitar 4 года назад

Great bass sounds and technical elements. Also good right hand sound experimenting. That right hand playing style is also used by Mike Pope

@leobassii 4 года назад

Nice ideas 💡 I will add to my bag of tricks 😉 I've signed up for the master class before but it was over my head... will try it again!

@paulobastos1774 Год назад

It's funny how a lot of bass players changed their approach to bass playing... after Jaco. (this sound is absolutely Jaco's)

@RenatoLeiteBass 4 года назад

The best

@ильяКазанков-ъ8р 4 года назад

Great video! So when we can find theory tutorials about what pentatonic possible to use when playing over the cord?

@mbrsart 4 года назад

Gary's right hand technique is high black magic.

@brettmarlar4154 4 года назад

LOL... I turned 21 in 1995. I would request Victor Wooten, or Billy Sheehan beast mode videos, but those guy only have that one mode.😜😉😎

@mikedivittorio3744 2 года назад

What’s the silver fretless that Gary is using?!

@MatthewBull 4 года назад

Maybe heresy to say this, but this is impressive bass playing that just leaves me cold musically.

@petechilds788 3 года назад

Silly question but anyone have recordings / video of Gary on a fretted bass?

@artakha14 2 года назад

Check out an album he did with Jeff Richman. Also Tribal Tech's Elvis At The Hop. Gary played more often a lot in his earlier carrer.

Gary Willis isn't underrated among musicians, but among "regular" folks he is.

I think Willis has outclassed Pastorious actually.

@inspector_7152 Год назад

What a bass player! Willis must be an alien… And how fantastic do these fretless F-basses sound…. Alain Caron discovered that all right a hundred years ago.

@OrigenisAdamantios Год назад

I met Gary back in the 1990’s. Tribal Tech at The Troubadour. I was outside before the show, when Gary came out too… cap Hawaiian(¿) shirt, blue jeans. Looking so comfortable. I said hi, and he responded kindly mentioning something about the weather being nice! It was nice out …West Hollywood. 🤗 Great human!

@devinebass Год назад

What a DUDE right?!

@OrigenisAdamantios Год назад

@@devinebass yes, sir! :D

@chrisggoodwin777 4 года назад

Living in the desert my whole life (Tucson, AZ and Las Vegas, NV), I've played my share of outdoor gigs, both on bass and drums, when it was 100°F. Definitely not my favorite, but hey, playing live is always overall great. And yes, I remember 1995 well!

@lucaszembrzuski Год назад

If You want to hear sometring really crazy by Gary Willis check out the "What Has He Had?" from Tribal Tech's "Thick" album at the 3:15, i still don't understand what is happening there, sounds like he plays on the leg thick floating bridge wires :D

@latemnf 3 года назад

Kirk is the icing on the cake of that rhythm section.

What Bass are you playing in your video?

@Jeff-o-Lee 2 года назад

Gary does use rest strokes on his right hand. He explaines it that REH video & he explains he uses rest stroke on your SBL Gary Willis Module 1 Live Seminar Recording @ 44 minute mark. Gary says he uses rest strokes for more bottom as opposed to free strokes.

@floydcucciajr6640 4 года назад

no disrespect but Gary's playing reminds me of jaco pastorious... which came first, the chicken or the egg?

@ItsNotaTuhmah 3 года назад

Gary is contemporary to Jaco.

@joanstone6740 9 месяцев назад

Why the glove?

@devinebass 5 месяцев назад

The reason Scott sometimes wears gloves is because he has a neurological condition called Focal Dystonia and the gloves prevent him from having involuntary muscle movements. Cheers!!

@valeriodirosa5907 3 года назад

Uno dei più grandi bassisti al mondo è il grandissimo Dario Deidda. E' assurdo che ne ignori completamente l'esistenza. Con tutto il rispetto per Gary Willis.
