Everyone who is saying Joe Dart is nothing special should be watching tennis or something. It's not a sport and he is able to play very funky lines that speak to classic funk with great feel that makes audiences sing his baselines. And as for people saying Vulf are this and that, just stop. They're clearly great musicians and great people and give a lot of joy to the world
Jack Alterman I’m literally a part of THE Facebook group. That’s not true. A ton of people in the group love and appreciate 70s funk where Vulfpeck pulls from
The original version of "Daddy, He Got a Tesla" is my absolute favorite Joe Dart bass performance, he was truly on rare form on that song (also Sky Mall)
Chris ‘Theel-e’, like theeley. Probably the world’s best living mandolin player. Learn him, love him, live him. Keep working those ghost notes, that’s a BIG part of Joe’s magic. Well, that and the Vulfcompressor...
npr Tiny Desk from 2011 has Chris Thile with Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Stuart Duncan - the music is rather grassroots sounding (a style I would not listen to that much) but it grooves and the performers have such a good time that they could be playing absolutely anything and it would sound fantastic. Great stuff.
Scott I’m happy that you found one of the most amazing bass men these days in the meanwhile and thank you very much for showing some insights into Joe‘s playing technique 😎🙏
I think Joe gets the 4 bar groove solo idea from Willie Weeks' solo on Donny Hathaway's Voices Inside (live), It's probably my favourite bass solo and a lovely nod to one of the greats by Dart.
That was Wulfpeck on Chris Thile's "Live From Here" on National Public Radio, which as the successor to "Prairie Home Companion". Chris is phenomenal. And that show was amazing. I had only heard of Wulfpeck peripherally and was blown away.
@@lukeappleby5292 would that matter if he is able or not to play it? I mean, is like denying a person opinion, knowledge and criticism on a solo that he liked because he is not able to play it
The line Joe was playing near the end of your video that you were trying to nail is from the band Parliament's, "Dr. Funkenstien" album and the track is "Do Dat Stuff".
I really think that Scott is the greatest teacher in the world. Everything looks easy and clear with him: dude, I wish I have doublebass lessons from you as well!
Putting a bass teaching ad next to videos of joe dart was absolutely genius because nothing makes me want to get better than watching videos of joe dart
I watched that LFH episode over and over when it came out--my first experience with Vulfpeck. Best episode since Chris Thile took over a few years ago. Hoping the show can make a strong comeback if/when the pandemic ends.
For some reason TH-cam sent me the Firms Radioactive video and was blown away by Tony Franklins bass playing on that track! I remember that song back in the day but probably didn’t realize how great the bass was😊
I'm not actual bass player, but it's lot of fun starting every day by playing It Get's Funkier bass line (by Vulfpeck) it's so tricky and complex and fun. Thank You, thank Joe Dart ^)
Mark Adams, Buddy Hankerson, Ed Watkins, Kerry Turman, William Allen, Barry "Sunjon" Johnson, Sekou Bunch, Wayne Brathwaite, Ed "Funky Thumb" Reddick, James Alexander, Dodge, Pee Wee Ford, Neil Jason, Robert "Pops" Popwell, Robert Wilson, Charles Glenn, Orlando Phillips, Keith Hatchell, Wayman Tisdale, Keni Burke, Steve Washington, Raymond Jackson, Larry Austin, Byron Miller, Fred Thomas, David Shields... All these unsung bass heroes deserve to be in the spotlight too ! We are patiently waiting SBL... 😌
Scott, I wanted to mention the Madison Square Garden version of Beastly. Specifically at around the 1:30 mark. When I heard this line the first time, I about took off running. He took the same line, made minor changes, and then hit us with that "slow down" effect lol. Thanks for your videos!
Joe’s performance at red rocks sounds a lot like Jaco Pastorius when he came out to do his bass solo looping performance when he played with Joni Mitchell. I wonder if that may be a nod to a hero or what but anyway discovering Joe Dart has been a lot of fun
Well. i just crawled out from under my rock and now cannot get enough of Joe Dart. What a nasty, nasty, man. Also must say I love his use of my favorite "bucket-o-shit" lick. What a god.
Love me some Joe Dart! The B&W striped shirt is key Scott, good nod. BTW bass heads, that "Chris Theeeele guy" is a true virtuoso. He is arguably one the greatest and most talented musicians alive on any instrument today. They just don't hand out Mc Arthur genius grants to everyone.
Nice. a note on fingering - my main instrument is Double Bass - and being an acoustic instrument fingering makes a huge difference - because that's how we get TIMBRE. A phrase played in two different positions really stands out and we use it as a technique. This still occurs with electric instruments and it does bug me a little when I hear that change in Timbre. It's often chose - well - it is by me anyway.
Chris Thile (Thee-Lee) is a mandolin virtuoso, composer and songwriter and plays across all genres of music. He guested on Vulpecks mindblowing ‘Live at Madison Square Garden’ gig and played with the acoustic trio Nickel Creek. He’s undoubtedly a musical genius (in my opinion).
Great video Scott !! I love your stuff brother. I also like Joe's approach which I use as well. Lay it down make it comfy and when its your turn make it groovy ,cool and beastly. Good players play well, great players play musically and respect the song or the tune ;)
Chris Thile is def worth a deep dive. Check out his album Deceiver. He plays all of the instruments and does all the vocals at a mind boggling level. Even his bass playing is pretty tasty. And his ability to crossover with anyone from Joe Dart to Yo Yo Ma is why he received the MacArthur Genius Award
FUN FACT: Dean Town was actually written by Woody Goss, their keyboard player. Of course, he wrote it for Joe to play as a bass feature.
Cool 👍
Fun fact , Dean town is a reference to Teen town from Jaco pastorious and weather report. It's full of licks from Jaco . Mindblowing 🤯
@@miketheud1010 And Woody (I think) used to call Joe "Dean".
Woody is a fantastic composer
Would've been a bit tough to do it on keys without the help of some serious fast-twitch finger fibres
This title is false because Joe dart is always in beast mode.
truth
His neck is, if nothing else.
LOL
Came here to comment the same thing...🤣
Joe Dart always hits the bullseye. How often do you get the audience to sing the bassline?
And madison square garden no less. Magical Moment.
John Deacon with "another one bites the dust" . I agree that "Dean town" is on another level.
Badabadabadadumdum bow bow boudadeeeeeedappadeepaa
Robert trujillo playing orion?
Every time they tap their feet. Disco and Motown have been doing it the whole time.

Jack Alterman ... Why does that bother you?
Jack Alterman I’m literally a part of THE Facebook group. That’s not true. A ton of people in the group love and appreciate 70s funk where Vulfpeck pulls from
Why do you care, and why should anyone care about you caring? Move on or argue with those people directly.
Amen
I'm so tired of this culture of whining about one or two negative comments
Fun fact: Joe was 19 in Beastly
Thanks. Now I feel like shit knowing I'm 23 and not even close to his skill
And playing a $200 bass
@@GabrielAmorim-bw5dh Well, I'm 28 lol
John Russell YES (I was in shock when I realised he was playing a Squier like wtf)
@John Russell Vulfpeck are the perfect example of “you don’t need amazing equipment to make a great song”
Bass Faces. Pigeon necks and a whole bunch of funkiness!
I hate seeing the frowniechickeneck. Can we be funky without frowning?
False.
Joe's neck is merely a concept.
This way or no way
Pigeon necks ! Priceless !!!
There was only one time Joe went full beast mode: from the beginning of times until the end of time.
His pregnant mother: "Oh he's kicking!" (feels a rhythm and immediately starts bobbing her head)
@@BreathEmpowerment the funk forced her to bob
Also before time and after time
Me with my bass watching and playing with
Scott and his bass watching and playing with
Joe Dart and his bass.
Thanks Joe.
The original version of "Daddy, He Got a Tesla" is my absolute favorite Joe Dart bass performance, he was truly on rare form on that song (also Sky Mall)
I’m glad I’m not the only one who nose exhales really loudly while playing bass
Joe is one of the best bassists of his generation
I think linder is the true beast of his generation 🤔
Undoubtedly!
Charles Berthoud is undoubtedly the best of this generation, maybe all time
Davie504 can play bass on a violin
He’s the best player in his age bracket
It's wild to think that John Patitucci was in the audience when they played Dean Town with Chris Thile
No way, that freaking awesome
Sahil Makhijani who? forgive the ignorance
@@lukesavage1019 a decent bass player, who played with another relatively decent piano player, Chick Corea.
@@andreidinu7316 ahahahah
Not at all, honestly. I realize that we live in an attention economy and you want to appear clever.
"That Chris guy..." (best mandolin player in the world) -LOL
Lol, for real haha
As a mediocre bassist it’s so nice to hear you not breathing normally whiles playing these riffs!
Chris ‘Theel-e’, like theeley. Probably the world’s best living mandolin player. Learn him, love him, live him. Keep working those ghost notes, that’s a BIG part of Joe’s magic. Well, that and the Vulfcompressor...
Chris Thile is an amazing musician. Worth investigating if you don't know him.
I was just going to post this .. found him from the Vulf video shown here and WOW!! Big fan now
Agreed!
My teacher went to school with him
I LOVED Nickel Creek as a kid.
I LOVED Vulfpeck from the first video I watched.
Seeing those two worlds collide brings me so much joy.
npr Tiny Desk from 2011 has Chris Thile with Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Stuart Duncan - the music is rather grassroots sounding (a style I would not listen to that much) but it grooves and the performers have such a good time that they could be playing absolutely anything and it would sound fantastic. Great stuff.
Is Dean Town kind of like Zeppelin's Black Dog in that the guitarist is possibly best known for playing a riff written by the keyboardist?
Joe Dart is the bassist who inspired me a lot to keep improving my skills. Luv ya Joe.
What was the most amazing thing about this video was how Scott worked out the dean town line in 30 seconds. My jaw hit the floor.
Scott I’m happy that you found one of the most amazing bass men these days in the meanwhile and thank you very much for showing some insights into Joe‘s playing technique 😎🙏
Jack Alterman it’s very simple: tell me your current active favorites, then I can answer your comment ... 😇
I started playin Bass because of Joe 4 years ago. Absolute Beast and the rest of the Vulf guys too ! Nice to see you feature them
Dude! You are a monster, highlighting monsters! jeez... incredible
I’m glad to see even a killer pro like you takes a few moments on the fretboard to figure out baselines like this. Thanks for keeping it real.
I've literally never clicked on a video so fast
I think Joe gets the 4 bar groove solo idea from Willie Weeks' solo on Donny Hathaway's Voices Inside (live), It's probably my favourite bass solo and a lovely nod to one of the greats by Dart.
Reminds me of this guy
th-cam.com/video/fpu0XDDh3zA/w-d-xo.html
Dude - your enthusiasm for the bass is infectious - that makes you an ideal instructor 👍👍👍

never heard of this dude until now. he is super clean & funky
Scott: "I don't know this..."
30s later: "Let me show you how to play it!"
Nice work...
J Bruce can you play it?
@J Bruce Who's a special bass player?
@@lukeappleby5292 would that matter if he is able or not to play it? I mean, is like denying a person opinion, knowledge and criticism on a solo that he liked because he is not able to play it
@J Bruce and that's why he's there funkin out of his pants, and you are watching this vid from your home ;)
J Bruce spoken by a guy who is probably neither good nor special. Grow up dude
1:35 into Cory Wong still blows me away, that descending riff into the double slide up to A? I think it is..
One of the most ferocious bass fills ever!
This is the video I’ve been waiting for 🙌🏼 now we just need him in the SBL studio teaching!
I was at this recording of Live From Here! Even more amazing live, and Maggie Rogers was a great addition to all of this.
this is one of your best videos. i love you working out the song at the end. watching the mistakes makes you human and dart a little more human
This was great. You look like 3 of my musical friends but all combined in one Shell.
Your video is very inspiring. 🎸🍻
The line Joe was playing near the end of your video that you were trying to nail is from the band Parliament's, "Dr. Funkenstien" album and the track is "Do Dat Stuff".
Hey Scott, it's always so much fun to watch your videos. Big thanks from Germany !!!
It's awesome to see you work things out. Makes me feel like I suck less when I see someone as good as you work through something!
My fave solo of his is a video Vulfpeck actually posted called ‘BEASTLY SOLO III’. Just insane!!
Joe's solo on Wait for the Moment in their Madison Square Garden concert. That's it, that's the comment.
Agreed
Agreed
I really think that Scott is the greatest teacher in the world. Everything looks easy and clear with him: dude, I wish I have doublebass lessons from you as well!
Thanks SO much, Fabio - that means a lot 🙌
One of my favorite Dart lines is in the intro to Welcome to Vulf records, that speed is just awesome!
That red rocks show was cold asf and the most amazing thing ive ever been a part of
This video is super-worth revisiting.
Love Joe Dart and Vulfpeck. Respect for covering him Scott :)
Also how that "live from here" performance slows down about 40 clicks and STILL sounds good.
Putting a bass teaching ad next to videos of joe dart was absolutely genius because nothing makes me want to get better than watching videos of joe dart
I watched that LFH episode over and over when it came out--my first experience with Vulfpeck. Best episode since Chris Thile took over a few years ago. Hoping the show can make a strong comeback if/when the pandemic ends.
I really appreciate seeing you working through and struggling to get something.
Love Joe Dart's playing and groove. Love the way you try making some sense out of stuff like that and explaining it. You're awesome!
Mad respect for your humility Scott, awesome video, thanks!
I remember when Beastly came out too, I remember being absolutely blown away. Very glad to see you featuring Joe Dart, he's an incredible bassist
Joe dart on the joe dart music man bass
That intro cutscene thing is super satisfying, great work
Nice weather report call. Such a great album!
One of my favorite videos you've made! Seemed like you were having so much fun figuring out Joe's bass lines.
I like how you work things out by ear; I have to figure out how to do that
For some reason TH-cam sent me the Firms Radioactive video and was blown away by Tony Franklins bass playing on that track! I remember that song back in the day but probably didn’t realize how great the bass was😊
Thank so much for this Scott! He's my hero!
Joe Dart is unbelievable! Flawless execution of all his playing leaves me speechless.
We’re gonna need a part 2!
I'm not actual bass player, but it's lot of fun starting every day by playing It Get's Funkier bass line (by Vulfpeck)
it's so tricky and complex and fun.
Thank You, thank Joe Dart ^)
I'm loving this new green highlight tab thing you're doing.
There towards the end, good to see that you are human after all, Scott. Great video.
Chris Thile is a beast! Check out Punch Brothers or any of his other stuff. He is at the top of the modern mandolin world.
And an incredibly genius composer
The goat rodeo sessions is mind blowing. That double bass solo in helping hands whew...
Plays great JSB in a trio with Yo Yo Ma & Edgar Meyer too. A fine musician to be sure.
Can't believe nobody mentions Nickel Creek lol
Mark Adams, Buddy Hankerson, Ed Watkins, Kerry Turman, William Allen, Barry "Sunjon" Johnson, Sekou Bunch, Wayne Brathwaite, Ed "Funky Thumb" Reddick, James Alexander, Dodge, Pee Wee Ford, Neil Jason, Robert "Pops" Popwell, Robert Wilson, Charles Glenn, Orlando Phillips, Keith Hatchell, Wayman Tisdale, Keni Burke, Steve Washington, Raymond Jackson, Larry Austin, Byron Miller, Fred Thomas, David Shields...

Those 3 times Joe Dart drank BREAST MILK.
Man joes MSG beastly solo is possibly the best bass solo I’ve ever heard
Being there live, it actually wasn’t my favorite beastly solo
Well. i just crawled out from under my rock and now cannot get enough of Joe Dart. What a nasty, nasty, man. Also must say I love his use of my favorite "bucket-o-shit" lick. What a god.
13:00 That is the verse baseline from Parliment "Do That Stuff". Almost to the exact notes.
It was fun watching you figure out that line Scott. Great video
The riff on 7:07 sounds like "hung up your hung ups" by Herbie Hancock
Dude.. you’re awesome! What a great teacher 😄 Joe Dart is fiiiiiilthy on the bass
Legend has it that Joe's secret to beast mode is that he's always funky (as his glasses materialize on his face & pigeon necks onto stage)
Monster of pântano!!! Very good!
This is bloody awesome! Vulfpeck win everytime. I'm just an acoustic/lead guitar blagger but this was really interesting. Love your videos!
i totally agree deantown is a masterpiece
Awesome! Dart is my absolute favourite bass player.
That's a great video. Thanks for this.
Hey scott can you do a tutorial on how you sing or say your bass notes. I find it very cool
There is some serious homage to Willie Weeks going on there in the Red Rocks solo. Great stuff.
i get this after watching "It gets funkier".
Great stuff. What an incredible bass player!
Scott, there is so many metal bass players that are really good behind the metal 16 note. Put those guys on your
Spot light.
Joe's outfit in the second video is magnificent.
Edit: The other's just walked in and they're all magnificent.
I could watch you explain Joe Dart's Playing for hours. Please do more

00:11 the WONG and only JOE DART
truly appreciate breaking down the tabs as you play
Transcribing Dean Town on the run is something you can do when you have the knowledge Scott has about bass. I could never myself.
Dean Town live is awesome. Dude was going full on bass player chicken neck in this one. Haha. And linguine from Ratatouille on guitar. Brilliant! 😂😂
you're amazing Scott, thank you!
