    There's nothing like starting a song with a cool bass riff. “Sweet Emotion” by Aerosmith is one of those lines. To play this riff correctly is what it’s all about. Ari shares her approach to get the best results in your playing (with help from this line), while avoiding bad habits

    I have been stumbling through this bass line for over 20 years. You cleared up so many mistakes I was making in 13 minutes. Where have you been all my life? Thank you!! You are an amazing teacher!! Peace and Love!!

    What I did was play along with Tom's bass isolated and started at quarter speed and worked my way up . Groove is in the heart and you should play a few bars of it like you were playing with the band . You kinda sounded like a bass bot.

    I don't know man? Maybe for a beginner this is a difficult bass line? I never even actually sat down & "Learned" it. It's one of those songs you've heard it so many times, if you've been playing for a while, you have a good idea of what's being played. I think this bass line is also a great exercise for practicing.

    The thing that has challenged me (still does) is the eighth note string skipping part where you skip the d string. For example if I play the whole thing an octave lower and use the open A string, it becomes do-able.

    ARI always lays it down like a BOSS! What a great musician and teacher... lou gramm from foreigner was always waiting for a girl like you! ginger hair? ( perhaps that's true) All we know is he was entranced by her... and he gave such a great performance that night ... and by the end of the night nobody actually knew who she was or where she came from... but lou sang his heart out to her! and whether you are still around or still listening ( we really don't know..) But, ..wherever you are and whomever you may be! This song is for you!
    We love you ARI! You are such a great teacher and we all love you ! Don't think your efforts and hard work goes un-noticed ! This song is for you! : th-cam.com/video/4Rzpt1xqIsE/w-d-xo.html

  • @seanmurphy7722
    @seanmurphy7722 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    A question about right hand technique: Do you rake from the upper notes to the lower notes even if it means crossing over a string i.e. use the same finger to pluck the high G and the lower A as well as use the same finger to pluck the octave A to the lower A?

    • @LearnBassWithAri
      @LearnBassWithAri 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sean, I trained myself to put my RH on autopilot. Many advantages of not having to decide which finger to use. Alternate and it's done! That said there are certain applications (like triplet drops in walking for example) where raking sounds better I think.

    • @auxpower13
      @auxpower13 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Um..you are confusing syncopation with playing in time. She is helping the player understand the divisions not how to syncopate Hamiltons rhythm. Also, while done implicitly, she cleverly forces the player to pay attention to their fingering by insisting you practice the phrases by breaking longer notes into 16ths. Without stating it, you must play with the proper fingering to accomplish this. I hope this is helpful.

    You sound like a robot playing this iconic bass line. there is so much more to this bass line than just plucking the notes. Try a slight pull off from the high G to the open G same with the high D to the open D. Playing without feeling is a bad habit.

    Not really accurate rythmically unless played with a pick. Hard listening to the very close but not quite finger style version.

      Tom normally plays this plucked. Although, I just found this video where he plays it with a pick, so apparently he’s done it both ways! But it’s definitely plucked more often.

Maybe you are young and will allow yourself to outgrow your mean and unnecessarily competitive approach to life. I am not deaf, and am endlessly qualified to make the judgement I did of this very fine, accurate, and generous bass lesson. I like the suggestion that you post your own transcription of this bass line. Would you be so vulnerable and generous to offer it? @@joelybarish4618
