If you don’t know how to jam on bass, the whole idea of playing music with other people can be scary and intimidating. It’s much ‘safer’ to just stay in your room, playing by yourself.
But if you did that, you’d miss out on one of the most rewarding and satisfying parts of being a bass player - making music with other people. Especially creating music from scratch!
Luckily, you don’t have to know dozens of songs, thousands of licks or millions scales. In fact, you can learn how to jam on bass without any of these things.
You see, there are 3 super common jamming scenarios:
1. Jamming with you on bass and a drummer
2. Jamming with a chordal player, like a guitar or a piano
3. Jamming with a full band
For every scenario, there are slightly different approaches that you need to take, but there are also tips that will work in nearly every situation, and you’ll get those in the lesson as well.
Of course there are other kinds of situations, but these 3 are the most common, and when you know how to approach each of them, you’ll have no trouble jamming in any of them.
If you go through the lesson and STILL feel like you’re not ready to play with other people; like you need to ‘get it together’, try my Beginner’s Starter Pack to get your playing to the next level. In it, you’ll get a collection of my best lessons, plus you’ll learn the all-important element that beginners miss: the ORDER to learn things in.
In my experience, there are 3 areas that beginner bass players need to focus on and you’ll learn them all in the Become A Bassist Starter Pack. To get it, just go here:
becomeabassist.com/how-to-jam...
Fill out the form on that page and I’ll send it straight to your email address. It’s like the roadmap I wish I had when I started playing bass and it’s 100% free.
Of course if you have any questions about anything in the lesson, just drop a comment down below and I’ll answer them as best as I can.
Good luck with the lesson and happy jamming!
Cheers,
Luke

    For a bit Overview: 0:56 - Szenario #1 (you + drummer) 3:58 - Szenario #2 (you + drummer + other harmonic instrument) 7:00 - Szenario #3 (full band) 9:40 - Good extra Tips! I recommend not to skip straightly to the third szenario, since they are built on each other. Have fun!

    Thanks for all the helpful tips. I absolutely love that model of Spector bass that you have in this video. What exactly is it so I can search?
