Fundamentals are so important. You're the man bro !!
That bass sounds sounds so freakin good. I used to see Rodney Holmes play all the time in the early 2000s with a guitar player named Steve Kimock. He is consistently mind blowing
I know it's not the point of the lesson, but I love your right hand, Janek: straight wrist, no tension, play at 100 mph the whole gig!
repeatable - i love that. thanks
Another great instructional from Janek! Just about one year ago I started using this method. It has allowed me to learn many things that I thought were beyond my abilities. Just a few weeks ago I finally learned the lick in the middle of "Gaslighting Abbie". It took many hours of repetition to be able to play it cleanly and up to tempo. Next on the list is "Smoke on the Water".
Super cool behind the scenes footage of that outdoor concert! Would like to see more!
thanks! This is super-helpful, and reassuring that my approach to transcribing is on the right track. Your exercises are part of my daily routine
This was a well timed video for me. Thanks.
Thank you for this video! It really makes me think I am on the right path. I can read music in treble and bass cleft. And am very comfortable with scales and shapes in all the modes. The song I am working on is Like a Prayer. So fun!!! I want to learn the piano next to write melodies 😊
Thank you for being a wonderful bass-brother and for all that you share! 👏
Thanks a lot,Janek 🎶💪🏽🎵!
Thanks janek !
I've been working on Richard Bona licks for years
Thanks for sharing!
When people ask me what my striving for knowledge gets me, I respond that it lets me ask better questions when I do run into an expert I want information from. It's really about building the vocabulary over time that allows you to have good interplayer communication; productive learning, doing the right things while wasting as little energy as possible on inefficiency or aspects unnecessary to the conversation; conversations at higher levels foster flow because everything prior has been internalized and is now as removed as possible from conscious thought, deleting the latency of those synapses. Well now I figured out how reverb works at a neurological level, or not. What is the decay of a thought's transit?

does a thought persist because neurons regenerate it, much like sustain and echo...a buffered signal? When you stop thinking it, where does it go and what state is left behind?
Hey Janek, not a question directly related to this video. But I was wondering what chair you use to practice? I've tried a few different things and haven't managed to find something ideal. Thanks a lot!

I have a chair made by a company called "Emerge". I did no research, there's not special about it at all, I just bought it one day when I saw it in a store. There are much better options out there.
I don't read music, are your book in tab also?
