Bass Legend Vs “The SBL Session Challenge”
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- If you’ve ever wondered what the session legends are thinking the first time they’re faced with recording a track they’ve never seen or heard before… this lesson is for you.
I was lucky enough to get Sharay Reed (yep, the man, the myth and the legend!) into the studio for you guys…
We talked about a tonne of stuff, but right at the end of our conversation we thought it’d be fun to put Sharay on the spot.
Here’s what we did…
We gave him a lead sheet to a piece of music he’d never seen before.
We then got him to talk through his thought process when looking at a new piece of music.
And then… we hit record and he performed the entire piece.
Zero run through.
Just red light - GO!
Ready to see what happened next?! ;)
As always, see you in the shed…
Scott :)

I went to that church when I was in Chicago. Honestly there are tons of unknown bass beast all over the gospel scene.
Church musicians in general are some of the most talented around.
White church have whole different set of setlist
Sharay is incredible and seems like such a nice, humble guy.
Meet him at a Cory Henry’s concert. He is definitely one of the humblest guys around!
Theeeeeee humblest dude in the industry. Ridiculously professional. The truth all around.
@@sliverhandsonbasses Ditto, met him and Cory and they're both so nice!
He is I spoke to him personally he play at my church on my rig and gave a few pointers
He really is one of the nicest person. Met him a little bit over a year ago when he gave a master class at my college in South America
This Dude is so freaking good. Tasteful and elegant flowing like water bass playing.
Dude walks in eyeballs a piece of music he's never seen before talks a bit about is even polite enough to act slightly apprehensive. Then proceeds to make sweet love to it like it was a girlfriend from back in the day hitting all her spots. Damn I miss playing bass....
you got a way with words my friend
Sir! With your dialect, you should have any woman you want lol. You summed it up.
Well tell the story man 😂👏🏿 I couldn't agree more 😎
Damn did you trade playing bass for professional writing??
Media Addict 😂😂😂
Sharay Reed is one of the greatest bassists to walk this Earth. We are truly blessed to know him.
Sharay was the reason I picked up the bass and he is the reason I put it away lol for real
Lol
🤭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very funny lol
Pick up that bass and learn from him:) Get back on it!!
Sounds like Untitled by Dangelo in the beginning.
Yup the whole first section of the verses... I figured notice the tease before the composer flipped it. 😃
Until that Chrono Trigger-like chord progression came in.
the 5th minor , just ... delicious
I scrolled for this before making the same comment.
Is it me or was Sharay already interacting with the guitar parts in the second and particular the third repetition? Amazing musician. And I don't mean his technical skills, which are top-level, but his amazing musicality.
Yeah, especially the part at 9:05 to 9:10 was pretty amazing!
Yeah that was one of the things that really stuck out to me!
Definitely caught that! It was beautiful 🙌🏿
@@Psykel I liked 10:36 to 10:42. That cheeky little hang through the chord change.
identiticrisis exactly. So smooth
Those were definitely "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" by D'Angelo chords lol! Such a tasteful progression.
💯💯
Very helpful to see what a great pro like Sharay does when you put a piece of sheet music for the 1st time in front of him. What a great idea Scott of putting the chords on the screen as he plays, so we can play along and compare. Awesome!! That is exactly what I expect from a bass lesson. Thanks for that great video Scott. More of this pls!
agree. more stuff like this in the future would be fantastic!
Scott, I saw the vids many years ago and of course almost cried due to needing to sell my basses instantly thereafter.
But what's important here is this: he's an amazing soul of a human. I wrote him and he wrote back. He sent DVDs of his instructional vids to me with handwritten labels on them. Imagine the privilege of him being a quiet, sober HUMAN with a stranger.
SO consistent with your great spirit, Scott, is this celebration of SR by you. You are a bright light.
Unlike many 5 string players, this guy knows how to use the B string beyond the extender range
ABRAHAM LABORIEL.. Whether or not you dig his genre, surely you gotta get him while he's still around..
hear hear
Yasssssss! The man that inspired me to get a 6 string bass! Señor Laboriel!!!
I've had the opportunity to record percussion on a session with Sharay. The best and the most humble guy you will ever meet. SHARAY is the guy!!!!
I would love to see Esperanza Spalding!
Wowww... totally
😋😍
You sound nice
Absolutely!
@@@thebabbler8867 huh?? About Esperanza??
That is so amazing. Sharay's take is so perfect, absolutely no mistakes , no weak parts, better than flawless... inspired. I wish I could do that.
Still watching and loving it even though I can't understand a single thing they're saying
Hey Scot hello fron Nicaragua, meaby you can do a vídeo whit Abran Laboriel
YES🙌🏽
Very nice double stop!!
Please, invite Michael League from Snarky Puppy! Thank you
He already did, but no video yet.
Next, please get ANTHONY JACKSON ✊🏿👊🏿
BlackRoots UNLIMITED TShaka Roots Mayanja YES!!
ALL OF MY YES TO THIS COMMENT!!
Oh yes! AJ would be a real draw! That’d be amazing!
Love it! Thaddeus Tribbett would be great!!
Ben Molinaro yessah Thaddeus’s Tribbett
Yess!!
He makes the notes sound righteous just like how gospel lines should be.😂😂😂 This guy is so good. My mentor
Find you someone who looks at you like Sharay looks at his music 10:50
Seriously? Maaan! Not only the fills but just the feel is ridiculous! You don't learn this in a book. It just got to be released. Period. Hats off!
experience helps
@@xlaythe depends if you call experience just a number of years practicing or being consistent at the right place at the right time. playing in church helps a lot. Lots of cats that never played in church that are phenomenal. But when you look at Cory Henry these cats are playing with a feel that only faith can give. Gospel music is also a combo between several styles/genres. It opens up on the world. It depends on how curious and consistent we are to explore further not only music but life in general. Peace bro!
Scott, this is EYE OPENING. What a great, invaluable insight. See ya at the Academy.
Get Pino!!!!
YUP.
Nope.
Yes, you should!
And get his son Rocco too
Coop JA +1 for Rocco
Chief Groove-tastic Groove meister Sharay Reed!! 🔥
l had no idea who he was until l've seen him live with Cory Henry. Got the chance to talk to him after the show, awesome, sweet, layed back dude!
love your vids scott :) mononeon and mohini dey would be really interesting
medioculus o YES!!!! Mono!!!!!
medioculus o definitely agree with Mono Neon
Amazing....!!! Pure artistry.... How about Nathan East, next.
That was fun to watch! I was really surprised at the variety of plucking technique Sharay uses and those double stops were so sweet.
+Sharay Reed is a class act! Absolute perfection.
10:42 gosh that delayed D. In love with his playing. Thank you
One of the most informative bass videos I’ve seen. Thanks so much Scott!!!
Sharay Reed!!
Nobodies playing A7sus4 with a 3rd - hopefully...
a7sus4 wouldnt have a "three rubbing against the four" isnt that the whole point of a sus chord? That you are suspending the third in favor of the fourth? Meaning fourth instead of third? Isnt a7sus4 A D G (E) ?
i also thought that was bullshit but he is a much better muscian than me
@@youngevil353 He's better than me too, I just know some theory that maybe he doesn't I guess, or maybe he simply misspoke because he was being filmed and distracted by all that.
I think you are exactly right
I think he meant that he shouldn't play a third over this chord.
He definitely misspoke
Michael league and Thaddeus Tribbett
Really lovely to see Sharay expand upon the chord progression as the song progressed, moving from tip-toeing through the chords into a skillful dance in and around them and showing a ton of personality. Phenomenal playing!
Scott doing a pretty good job of keeping his composure. I’d be by the door ready to run out on the street after hearing the first 30 seconds of Sharay. Def a Hall of Fame bassist.
Derrick Hodge
Well, Sharay juts killed! He's an amazing musician and, I just enjoyed the groove and tone. I'd like to watch the great Abe Laboriel playing something. He is a legend and one of the greatest influences in the bass world. Thanks, Scott!
Definitely Abe!!!!
Jesus friggin Christ. It's like he's known and played this tune his whole life. Magic.
I came here to suggest Pino..already at the top of the comments..how about Stuart Zender?!
how about THE Paul Turner next? :D Sharay certainly kicked some serious arse here, amazing
I'd always recommend Tal Wilkenfeld
GET JOE DART ON THE CHANNEL!!!!!
I would love to see a sit down interview thing with Rocco and Pino Palladino. Would be super interesting to watch how they both approach crafting their basslines
Les Claypool an yes you chose a Great Man of God to do this 13th viewer
You tell bass Legend i really respect him an his mindset on doing bass is Extreamly helpful an please purchus him some dunlop strapLocks
Bravo bravo bravicimo
Oh he'll pass alright.
Get Abe Laboriel in here
That tone is out of this world!
He is my favorite bass player! Thanks for this video! Yeeey
" Yes I Was Blown Away With His Early 2 Church Concert Holiday Choir Videos and Have Been A Fan Every Since "......!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice... awesome to see how a pro works a new song. Goodness that would take weeks for me to pull something like that off. Just amazing!
How about John Patitucci and Jimmy Haslip and Marcus Miller any of those guys will do...👍
😱😱😱 Nearly threw my phone!! Mr. Reed is the real deal!!!
Kwesi Jackson 😂😂😂 Facts!!!
😂😂😂👍🏿☝🏾
Very impressive, but can you...
Play a wrong note?
He couldn't if he tried
No. It's called a *chromatic passing tone* because you're only ever a half-step away with your artistic expression.
Just make it set rhythmically in the phrasing, repeat it more than once in the same place to appear intentional if possible, and you'll be good. 🤣🤚🏾👍
@@JunkMailBoxStuff funny how mistakes are sometimes the best thing you do if you play it off
OK SBL guys. This one was a nice video: seeing how a pro approaches a session has value in it. You could do more videos like this :)
you should see if you can get Nathan East
As I've stated elsewhere; Sharay is in another universe. The rest of us are trying to find it. His mastery of the tone of his instrument is light years beyond any human understanding. His subtle sub-plucking of chord tones above the root he's playing to highlight the main tone... I'm telling you. He's not from this realm. The amount of work you have to put in to achieve this is not outer worldly...it's extra-universal!
I just took my rig and set on fire, i'm taking up stamp collecting!!!!!
get Anthony Jackson PLEASE!PLEASE PLEASE!!!!por favor!!
what a rythm sense
Sharay played bass at a church that I engineer at in 2006 so I have known him 15 years. We also played a couple of sessions together. Sharay is the truth on bass.
His musical approach it’s absolutely mind blowing. WOW!! 😮 😮
Name of the song?
Get Stefan Lessard from DMB! Underrated bassist, in my opinion.
That song was clearly inspired by D'angelos "How does it feel"
6:12 When your girl asks you what you wanna do to her when you get home.
10:06 🤦🏽♂️🔥🔥 his tasteful licks and phrasing is just amazing
Lee Sklar or Tony Levin.
Jimmy Haslip, John Patitucci.
2 that I would like to see are Darrell Freeman and Kaybass Diggs.
Dear Scott first of all i would like to thank you for the 1 week bass mini course(it was awesome!) you're a really great teacher but most importantly a good person and that shows through your videos you've made all these years. Secondly for a guy at my age (born in '78) it"s a privilege to watch a video like this one,because we didn't have access to all that information.Plus that it is really wonderful to see such a great bass player create something so tasteful on the fly.So the conclusion for those who pressed dislike is...DON'T BE UNGRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN!!!
I want to see Oskar Cartaya. Latin jazz legend.
Hi Bill, I'm a guitarist but I love your show.
I'd like to see to see you interview Trevor Barry, our own world class session player.
Get Thundercat!
Any young players ,learn to read music ...I never learned and it's a big handicap
You could still learn, dude!
That bass face doe.
First time I heard him is when i had the chance to play some music with him on a audition for making his band. This was a MTV show for p diddy. I can remember it like yesterday, me and him were locked and the one judge for the shows face went right to stank face!! Sharay didnt continue on the show because he knew the contract sucked and probably had a better gig lined up anyways. I made it to the house in la and then got kicked off the first challenge. It's so awesome to see him represent chicago all over the world. Keep up your great work sharay, the musicians of chicago are so proud of you and your ministry!!!!
THUNDER CAT!!
Above Sharay's incredible ability at bass playing, is his gentle voice....I could listen to this Cat talk all day about anything. I dont know man, but I kindda feel that his voice reflects the kind of person he is inside..that is 'Gentle' and 'kind'.
Very impressive, but can you play...
wait, wrong channel.
SweetDick Willie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rip replay button 9:07
Legendary.
Beautiful
Justin Meldal-Johnsen
My homies and I saw the original VHS (or copy of) way before it hit youtube! Completely blew our minds, the playing + energy. Been a huge fan of his for 20+ years!! #legend
Marcus / nate watts in an ideal universe
Can you do a Drum and Bass episode...with them reading the same music together?
I gotta learn how to read...
You meant, how to Reed...
He might not even be good at reading the staff notation. Based on what he said, he might just be reading the chords printed at the top of the sheet, and going with his instincts, experience, and ear.
Bedford Level Experiment
Not what he said ... first, he plays the melody as it is written to establish the song, then he adds his magic and embellish the tune!
Am I dreaming? The Sharay Reed on Scott's channel? Mind blowin'
Wow... if I could choose any bass players to see here they would be Alex Al, Al Turner, Bill ( the rubber hand man ) Sharpe and Larry Kimpel. Peace and blessings Scott!
Those names on the Bass are monsters indeed! Greetings from Atlanta .Shout out to Detroit bassist!
Melvin Davis!
Awesome!
Next up: Lee Sklar, Anthony Jackson, Pino Palladino. 😁
Beats all the manic slappers all day long!
What I love is how quickly he transitions from playing a basic background to really shaping something that intertwines with the rest of the music being played and adds unique flavor. It is awesome!
Esperanza Spalding and Mohini Dey would be cool.
Seriously though... he played that so masterfully and smooth. LOVE IT!
Is Mr. Reed mainly using this thumb during the first read thru of the piece ? Then once he has a feel for the song's chord changes/structure/groove/etc... then he starts using his fingers,with his thumb resting on the 5th string.
