    6:50 - I'd rather go with right hand that way:
    Right Hand Technique:
    I - Index finger
    M - Middle finger
    S - Slide
    P - Pull-off
    Three-String Raking Pattern:
    IIIM - Index finger on the first string, index finger on the second string, index on the third string and middle finger on third string
    IMIM - Alternating between index and middle fingers on three strings.
    Articulated Version:
    SIIM - Slide with the index finger on the first string, followed by the index finger on the second and third strings and middle finger on third string
    PIMI - Pull-off on the third string, followed by index, middle, and index fingers on the third, second and first strings.

    I used to make myself learn scales in a similar way. When I was too impatient and wanted to nail a new shape/scale/pattern, depending on how much time and how hard I was finding the material, I would repeat each note 4 times, climbing and descending through the scale , then 3, then 2, then 1. Naturally, the more repetitions of each note, there longer I had to stay there giving me thinking time to get to the next more accurately allowing my brain time to absorb the new information. Each time I dropped a note, I was also moving on one beat sooner, decreasing thinking time and driving towards the end goal. I still use that kind of approach in my own practice and with my students. To extend this idea, I would used my metronome and find the slowest comfortable speed for the exercise and run the whole routine at that speed. I would then increase the tempo of the whole routine as it became more secure and therefore less challenging. You are an amazing and inspirational player and teacher! Thanks for the videos

    On top of doing these type of exercises the thing that allows consistent progress with them is doing them daily for at least a short period. Even 10 minutes focused on one thing every day and rotating new challenges in over time has a huge cumulative effect that you can't get by jumping around and doing many different things or trying to cram learning into one long practice session.

    Great tips!!! If I could piggyback with an accelerator, one of the best tips I got and try to pass on is a rhythm component. If you’re doing eighth notes, run it three ways: straight, dotted 8th 16th, then 16th dotted eight. This really helps especially with cleaning up shifts.
    I’m sure you know this, but I feels it’s underutilized, or rarely spoken of. Great vlog!! ❤

    Here's another fingering idea for 10ths, that I use on upright bass, is:
    M10=1-4 and m10=1-3
    This helps to reinforce the major and minor harmony of the scale degrees.

    Janek, you have the technique to play all the fast stuff! How do you manage to NOT fall into the trap of your fingers to play fast and, instead, listen to melodys in your head and take your time?
    Thank you, you're a big inspiration!

    • @janekgwizdala
      @janekgwizdala  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      I think that has come from spending most of my life listening to and admiring music that had nothing to do with how fast or slow it was played.
      I understood from a young age that some of the worlds greatest technicians are also the worlds worst musicians. I care about melody, harmony, song form, communication, interaction, and the experience of live music with an audience. The only reason I have developed the technique necessary to play incredibly fast, is because some of the musical ideas I hear end up containing elements that require a wide range of basic technique to execute them.
      I was never driven by technique though. It was always by melody.

    Hi Janek, Firstly thank you for your calm and grounded manner in yr wonderful presentations.. a welcome break from many other hyped-up presenters who are trying too hard to be clever/funny, rapidly becoming insufferable.. (eg. a famous SW London music store - tho great content etc..).. We have too much noise in our lives as it is..! :)
    Your video: At first it had me doing my head in finding the ref chords (key) until I noticed that I'd somehow missed seeing the chart.. @1:37.. but.. by visual & ear your first note was 'A' whereas on the chart it is Bb.. in other words you were starting the performance exercise on the second bar..(??) Then it all fell into place. I wonder if anyone else had the same problem?
    Best regards to you and many thanks for your generous guidance. Geof Harris, Southend on Sea, Essex UK - active bassist for approx 55yrs - aware that there's no point of arrival..! :D

    We could skip all these concepts (which are great BTW) and just get right to the _meat and potatoes_ and that's the *Bass Face* The best way to get *better faster* is to assume the role and get in the groove! by locking in on a *Bass Face* we can achieve this better & faster! but proper *bass face* is crucial, and proper timing for the *bass Face* is imperative. Would love to see a video exclusively on *Bass Face* technique, You my friend are the master, and exhibit it even while teaching, well played 👏

    Great exercises, spot on for improving on the instrument by deliberate practice. Thank you Janek 🙏. I do have a question tho. Do you have any resources on left hand technique?
    I've been playing bass for 15 years (really intermittently lol) and I think I got very close to be an intermediate with the instrument during the first three of four years (in which I developed a left hand mild swelling in the muscle below the pinky on the outer edge of the hand which I never properly addressed).
    Long story short, life happened and I rediscovered my love for bass last year so I've been taking it seriously since then, thing is, recently I learned a song my private instructor suggested (Better by Cory Wong) and it triggered that swelling along with a mild cramp on the outer edge of the wrist and it hurts in some specific points along my forearm all the way to the elbow, nowadays I stopped playing bass for a few weeks until I completely recover from this pain and in the meantime I'm looking for exercises and resources to resume my practice by re-learning the fundamentals and playing really really slow but with a healthier left-hand technique. (I think it may also happen because I grip really hard with my left hand when I'm playing a challenging song for me, like 'Better').
    Any help will be heavily appreciated. Greetings from Colombia!

    Hey Janek, how about the plucking hand? You are plucking the last note of the 1st four notes AND the 1st note of the 2nd four notes both with your middle finger. Wouldn’t it be better to continue alternate plucking so that you begin plucking the 2nd four notes with your index finger? I’m going to try that later today, I may discover I’m wrong. I’m not questioning you, just asking. You ARE the master !!… although as I continue the video I see that when you actually run through the exercise, you slide into that note rather than pluck it. Or hammer on if you are accending.

  • @hahabass
    @hahabass 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Question. Great video. So helpful.but is there a reason why you use a P bass for some of these lessons? You also used it on the 'Altered' vid. I'm guessing it's the fundamental nature of the instrument?

    • @janekgwizdala
      @janekgwizdala  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It's to make sure no one feels left out. When people who consider themselves more "advanced" players see a 5-string strung E-C they immediately do one of two things:
      1. Freak out that they don't have that exact tuning and move on to the next video
      2. Freak out that they don't have that exact tuning and move on to the next video and the complain in the comments that the video should have been made for a 4-string.
      And when a beginner sees the video, they might just not understand what a 5-string with a High-C is right away, so it helps take away anxiety from the process for newer players which I think is a positive thing.
      The irony (for the "advanced" player at least) is that the concepts in literally every lesson-video I've ever made can be transferred not just to any bass tuning, but to any instrument.
      At some point, it was pointless holding on to "my" thing (the 5-string), and it's also a nice change of pace to play language on the 4-string that I don't normally practice in that setting. A win win for everyone I think.

    How do you like tapewounds on your PBass? I was thinking about doing the exact same thing, so the timing of this video was wild to see.

      I love them. Super responsive and an incredible fat and warm sound. I’ve had these on this bass for almost 15 years without changing them.

    What kind of strings are those? They look like Black Beauties but don’t have the bite, but the clarity is insane.

      I wondered that too. I think they’re tape wounds.

      These are an old set of D’Addario nylon tape wounds from about 15 years ago.

    I used to do something similar to the first concept, but instead of moving up the neck chorally my teacher would have me do the circle of 4th.

      I know they're Beyerdynamic, and I think they're the DT PRO range, but I forget which number. maybe the 1990's?

    Thank you Janek, I have your II-V-I book but I haven’t opened it in a couple months, but I’m inspired to get back into it. Btw, I took it to an office supply store where they cut off the binding and put a spiral binding on it so it will lay flat. Maybe you should offer the option of a spiral binding for an up charge? It cost me about $12-14 to have it done and was well worth it. Peace !

      Great idea, and it’s something we’re looking into for a new book that’s in the works right now.

    Incredible content, I’ll definitely “steal”, but…could have been a 6 minute video with a lot of dialogue cut out, but understanding the what’s and why’s are as critical to getting the ability to do it.
