It's interesting how differently they deal with key changes. The 'song' structure is: 1. E minor/E phrygian bass part (silence for guitar solo) 2. F# minor blues pentatonic part (silence for guitar solo) 3. A-flat diminished seventh arpeggio, B-flat diminished seventh arpeggio, B major chord (with short silences in between) and E minor blues pentatonic ending lick. There's a challenge for guitar players to connect parts 1, 2 and 3. To create cohesive piece guitar part gotta somehow arrive from E minor key to F# minor. And then from F# minor to A-flat diminished seventh chord. So I got curious to see how every musician approached those key changes. For example, first dude (Ljfulks) just kinda reacts to bass guitar without thinking of key changes. Bass plays in Em, then guitar responds with E minor pentatonic lick which ends on root note (E) on strong beat without regard to F# minor bass part which begins in this moment. Same thing with his second solo: pure F# minor pentatonic ending on F# note. He's aware what goes before his solo but ignores what goes after. Gabriel Borza: kinda connects parts 1 and 2 by ending first solo with bend going from E to F#. Then he goes wild playing A7 arpeggios and then going to B minor pentatonic lick ending on B, which connects to A-flat diminished seventh smoothly. Nice. Jungle man connects 1 and 2 by plaing mainly E minor stuff but ending it with bold F# note, which sounds weird in E minor context but then bass starts playing in F# minor key and it all starts making new sense. Then he precedes A-flat diminished seventh just by playing atonal chromatic craziness. Well, why not, that works too. Davidmargalitad responds to Em part by D minor sounding lick ending it with A note. Weird, but at least that A makes sense in F# minor. Then he responds to F# minor part with... another D minor lick. Okay, that's definitely weird ) I kinda understand where first Dm lick came from: he took E, D and F from beginning of bass part and proceeded from that. But the second solo seems to be in Dm just because first one was in Dm (and because his guitar is tuned D standard). Sotomusic responds to Em part by starting with Em pentatonic, then outlining A major arpeggio (which is connected to F# minor) but then he ends with C-E-G-A-B phrase which theoretically is wrong way to precede F# minor pentatonic, but it works somehow. Then he plays strictly F# pentatonic but ends it with B note which connects to A-flat diminished seventh chord. Mathiaslunde starts with Em pentatonic but right before first key change he goes to F# minor pentatonic and ends phrase with F# note. Then he precedes A-flat diminished seventh arpeggio by ending second solo on A-flat. Smooth. Adamwardguitar does a lot of things in first solo (E phrygian dominant, Emajadd9 arpeggio, E mixolydian stuff) and ends it with G to Aflat bend. Whaat? Second solo is more traditional: he starts with F# minor pentatonic and then precedes bass A-flat diminished seventh arpeggio with his A-flat diminished seventh arpeggio.

That's triggered me so I just stopped and they immediately understood what I was playing lol Huh... memories.

Dude, you should make a series of this! Getting a bunch of different takes on a piece was really cool and makes me think more about how I could improve my own writing!

Man it's so wholesome you get to showcase these amazing artists and even giving that generous tip which for sure gonna make the guy really happy. Keep these videos and the amazing content up, greatly enjoyed it.

This video was absolutely amazing @CharlesBerthoud !!! Please do more of these!! My favourites were the second guy (some of his glissando was absolutely wild) and the last guy. So much talent in one video!!

Charles, a tip for your videos. There is clipping noise when you switch audio clips. Given that audio is a feature of your videos may I suggest a method of removing this distortion? If you can rapidly (but not instantly) put a volume envelope on each audio track just before it ends it will "fade out" to zero. The clipping noise occurs even when you think the audio is silent but is not at zero at the end of a track (sometimes there is a DC bias to different audio clips - so if they all fade in from zero and fade out to zero then there's no step between). Effectively a clip from some audio to no audio is a square wave - and a square wave has many harmonics - which is why it is perceived so noisy.

It’s interesting that all of them chose to use distortion, and maybe that was what you were looking for. However, a jazz guitarist with a clean sound could have easily fit into the soundscape as well and would have been an interesting contrast.

A Fender guitar recently came into my possession and I began researching a little to start learning it, but ever since I have discovered this channel, I'm hooked on the bass and now plan to get one. Awesome channel!

Your stuff is really entertaining! Keep up the good work!

Most music that makes it somewhere doesn't have the space for bass to take the spotlight. This has room to show off because there are no lyrics or really any instrumentation outside of the bass.
