This sample lesson is from the Jazz Bass School with John Patitucci. This lesson touches upon playing with expression. He teaches you how to become a vocal and expressive player on the bass. John Patitucci himself learned this lesson by watching singers and other instrumentalists, particularly cellists. When cellists and singers vibrate a note, they vary the vibrato to fit the mood and the pitch you are trying to convey. He also suggests other techniques, such as sliding, smearing, pulling off, and hammering to add more expression to your bass playing. Learn how he practices these in the lesson.
It is only a small sample of dozens of lessons you have to choose from on ArtistWorks Online Jazz Bass School. Choose from dozens of lessons and submit videos of your practice to John whenever you have a question. John will respond with a video showing you how you can improve faster. These interactions are made available to the entire bass community, creating and ever growing, ever expanding library of lessons.

Sting once remarked in an interview for "Bass Player" magazine that he saw John Patitucci live with the Chick Korea acoustic band found out that inspiration can go strange places.
Because Patitucci was playing these incredibly fast runs on his acoustic bass and afterwards met up with Sting and told him " You've been such a big influence on my playing with the space you leave." at which Sting went "Really, I couldn't tell."
I was lucky enough to record with John on one of my projects about 15 years ago. We'd never met or eve spoken, and in fact he was hired by a mutual friend. The week before, I'd sent him the charts and demos of 5 tunes. It wasn't super complex with a bazillion notes, but it was thoroughly arranged and had also featured plenty of room to stretch out. The only time I could get the studio in NYC was 9 am on a Saturday morning, and this made me as nervous as could be--the guitarist was Mike Stern and the drummer was Ben Perowsky, so three giants (who were almost certainly out playing the night before) had to show up early and nail the tunes in one day. John was the first to arrive, in no time he and the engineer had dialed in the most beautiful bass sound and he was going over the charts (though it was obvious he'd already learned the material). Mike was next to show--he and I had been talking almost every night for the last week, as he had ideas and questions about his parts. Young Ben showed up 25 minutes late and immediately announced that he'd lost his sheet music! Inside I was freaking out, but Ben assured me that he knew the tunes inside and out, and he was telling the truth. It was the most glorious day of my life--they owned the music and played it as if it was genuinely important to them. John in particular exemplified a blend of professionalism and focused enthusiasm, and I believe we ended up with one of the finest bass solos ever recorded on my tune NY Blues. It was also the easiest, least stressful hang you could imagine. John deserves every bit of attention as a player that is aimed his way.
You should upload it I'd love to hear it
I'd love to hear this too. Currently out of print, not on TH-cam, Spotify :(
I've had my upright for 1 week and struggling to feel comfortable with it. Should I sit, should I stand, hold it contra style or get lose with it and hold it bluegrass style. Arm hurts, back hurts, fingers only a little. The bits and pieces I'm picking up from Ray Brown to bluegrass and then to John is helping me free up my attitude towards why I'm actually playing the upright. Love this.
John, sos un capo de los músicos mas grosos de los últimos 15 años!
This is great haha I learnt a new trick for my guitar playing, love the little trill at about 4:30 in im gonna use that all the time now
amazing how he describes the importance of rythm in storytelling melodies, at 5:30 ... talking with a beat (at aprox 60bpm...)
Fantastic,fine art!

Italians always manage to say the word "Pizza" at some point in their speech, whatever the subject might be.
