How To Improvise A Bass Solo! - Beginners Guide

Музыка

This week we're continuing our look at jazz standard practice by looking at improvising a bass solo through the Charlie Parker jazz blues 'Billie's Bounce'.
Learning to solo requires practice and development of vocabulary. There are no 'hacks' or easy solutions but in this lesson we'll be looking at some simple tips for getting started on the journey. We'll look at chord tone practice and touch on the other aspects of soloing such as vocabulary development.

    Superb lesson. I've bought a ton of bass books and I really feel that I shouldn't go near any of them until I can do this comfortably - and I've been playing 40 years! I'm also trying to sing the notes before I play them. Hard finding those 7ths first! Keep singing 3rds!

    Can we also call those notes before the chord notes as grace notes? Thanks for this lesson I learned a lot

    No. Grace notes are rhythmically different and can be any note (within reason). It’s all about the rhythm.

    I've got some advice for ya! You don't need a super fancy expensive bass to start with. My first bass was this cheap $200 Washburn and I loved it and grew on to better, more expensive basses from there. Just go to a guitar shop. look at some price ranges, play some basses and pick one that feels most comfortable to you that's in your price range!

    Honestly the best tip for people to learn how to solo on bass is to literally just play guitar. If you learn guitar, you know the chords better than in just bass and it’s really easy to fret compared to bass. Then you take what you know and improvise around those chords.
