I’d love to watch a video about the flow/direction of walking basslines. Like, when would continue going up/down? When would you turn it around? Would help a beginner like me 🙃
Hey there - thanks for your message. This is an interesting idea - I'll give it thought for sure. In one way, though, there's a very simple answer which is that direction is entirely up to you. The more important thing (besides the feel) is the notes/melody that you're creating. But i'll still think about a way to maybe say more about this. In the meantime, let me direct you to 2 vids I've done that I think address at least part of what you're talking about: th-cam.com/video/6BNw0HNWY1s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EYlA-GLlticTxSv7 and also th-cam.com/video/n7f9hWH0Yxs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Q3kU6u6mBzTbuYDB I hope that this helps
Hey Matt, great lesson as always. I'm a big fan - i have your Ray Brown as well as your method book AND your PDF collection. I was considering your new course but am really interested in a course dedicated to soloing. Is anything like this in the works?
Wow! I knew you had gotten some things but not all that. Thank you so much for your support. I’m honored that you’ve trusted me this way. And yes, the soloing thing has been missing from my videos here and I wanted to rectify that. Your message is a real kick in the pants to get on some courses for that too. (Probably more one at a time rather than 5 at once 😂). Thanks for the support and the impetus to move forward on this
@@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki glad to hear it's on your radar. I realize this is a difficult subject to write about. I think as an intermediate player I'm comfortable with walking using chord tones, approach notes etc. I think perhaps approaches around bebop solo language , perhaps getting upper structure sounds, etc. Triad pairs, quartal sounds. Some more advanced stuff i guess. I really liked your 3 part series on rhythmic displacement
@@bassomatic6055 ok you’re going right for the jugular hahaha. Just even knowing to use those terms properly makes me think you probably have what you need already!! That said, I’ll see if I can come up with some things to offer!
@@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki i can talk a good game but up to now I've been focused on walking decent lines. I think a well thought out sequence of practice material in the area of soloing would be invaluable, though I suppose the best answer is to transcribe horns.
This is awesome 🙌🏻. Thanks a lot Matt. May I send you a video of me playing a standard with my band (Golden Era Groovers)? I’m really interested in your thoughts about it.
Oscillating between straight (4/4) and swing/triads (6/8): Gnawa again (African blues root music of Morocco). I’ve found an English documentary: th-cam.com/video/Ti1Nqaju4lY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=F6l6PQ1nXXycXO5R
@@DirkMetall Thanks I enjoyed watching that. It taught me more than I knew already. I had listened a lot to this Pharoah Sanders’ album with Gnawan musicians playing in this traditional style. Very cool to know more about it
You have no idea how much I get excited when your TH-cam notification pops up. Awesome analysis as always.
Wow what a nice thing to hear! Thanks and I’m so glad I can be helpful
20 minutes in you can tell Sam had clearly been watching some TH-cam tutorials on how to use chromatic notes to "jazz" up your sound in minutes
I was working on this the last couple of weeks but didn't have the full transcription. Perfect timing, thank you Matt.
You're most welcome :)
Always love that double chromatic sound from above.
Me too!
I enjoyed your analysis of the lines. It made me like his bassline more. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words, and I'm glad it brought some interest and enjoyment :)
Thanks for doing this lesson! Super great!
@@derrick-siyu-zhang thank you!
Fantastic for learn this tune thank you
Where is possible to find the backing track ?
Thank you for all
Thank you for watching. The music is the actual recording itself from the album “Somethin’ Else”
New to the channel, love the content.

Oh and also - could you share something about what you yourself feel would be helpful to hear about soloing?

always remember.. straight ahead, and strive for sometimes the locrian out of nowhere.. because why not :)
Haha well done

Hey Danilo :) Yes of course - thanks as always
Sam Jones, great! But I still haven't been able to fully memorize the Ray Brown blues... 🤔
You can do it! :)
@@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki Been weeks, still screwing it up... 😂
