This is good stuff! Nice1. I’m a lead player and having a good rhythm section makes me look way better than I am when performing. I have mad respect for great bass players. They hold everything together and guide the music effortlessly. Thank you to all bass players reading this 🙏
Man, I'm not even a bassist or drummer, but I really enjoyed this video. Solid explanation of roles, opportunities to add, and opportunities to detract from the overall song, and also how each part weaves in and fits with the other elements of a band. So good! I sing, and play keys and guitar, but I'm really just starting to work with different bands that have some interchange of players from time to time. I think this is really gonna help me figure out why some players seem to make the songs come alive easily, and help explain some of the problems I hear from time-to-time. I'm definitely going to check out your other content. Instant fan!
An interesting thing I’ve realised recently is you can apply rhythmic concepts you’d normally learn on drums to bass guitar. You can take the paradiddle and flam rudiment families and play these patterns in different ways on the bass with left hand slap and right hand slap or by using fingers (I M I I M I M M) or a pick (U D U U D U D D).
Very interesting, thank you. Can i ask you something? I'm a drummer, my bassist is ok but he tends to not look at me so often, as opposed to some of my past bassists who alwayd did keep the visual contact. Am i wrong, wanting him look at me? I feel the visual contact it's an essential part of the chemistry, but i'd like to know if i'm too obsessed with it. I just need to understand if i need to evolve my state of my mind or he's the wrong bassist for me. Thank you very much!
@@OnlineBassGuitar1 Thank you very much for your response. I got to say i spoke with him about that, he even admitted it and did apologize. Since then he looks a little bit more to me, but i have the feeling he tends to force himself doing it. My theory is that he doesn't have the 'right' approach, he just doesn't feel it. I guess it's just my problem, now. Thanks again!
I think I have the same situation going on. I am happy it is pointed out here that it is normal to get some support on the tempo from the bass player too.
@@OnlineBassGuitar1 Because the bassist is the overall driver of the whole band. If the drummer gets out of step it's up to the bass player to give him the fish-eye or re-cue him. I've been playing bass for 53 years and that's just the way it is. If the bass player loses it the whole band falls apart.

A good bassist is really nice addition to bass line. All wise drummers know that.
My bass player is my girlfriend so I have a pretty good relationship with my bass player😂

Thanks, I needed that info. I've been playing bass for 10+ years.
Jk, I've been play for less than a year but this info is really helpful.
Good info. I am a drummer of many years. Thanx for posting this. Gonna show it to all the local bass players.
Great info. Well explained and concise! I'm a drummer in a weekend jam group and will share this my bassist! Many Thanks!
0:41 - 1:25 was exceptional explanation g roles within the band!! Great stuff (5yrs late my bad😅)

no examples? :(
A bassist makes or breaks a band. Without that solid rhythm, everything else is useless- it’s like trying to stack bricks on jelly.
And yes, I listen to bass player as an aid, and I am the drummer itself. If you play in a shitty way, you will get us confused.
Wise words!!!!!
your too kind mate! @@OnlineBassGuitar1

@@daniellepijpers8173 Yeah, support and groove from the bassist it's highly required.
Every time I hear somebody say that the drummer can't keep a beat, I look at the bassist.
