This teaching is priceless! And here I am taking it in for free on da TH-cam. Thanks Jeff for giving it away. “Freely you received, freely give.” Jeff obviously believed music is a gift.
Jeff Andrews is a great master...he really plays jazz on electric bass, with strong timing and beautiful bop oriented lines, like the great italian player Dario Deidda. Not many other electric bass player are so able to swing, so if he uses metronome it means that is good to do so for him and for a lot of others great masters. Berlin is a super technician, but in my opinion, not so tasty as Jeff and his method of teaching isn't the one and only in the world. Thanks God music is so various and personal that anyone can think to have the unique recipe to play or teach well. Jimmy Haslip plays pentatonic most of the time and is so fluent and sweet and melodic...Berlin plays 200 notes at second but, at the end, he says nothing to me (...but I respect him as a great musician, of course). This is my opinion and my taste....for many others could be different...no one has "the true" in his pocket!!!
I will always admire Jeff Andrews for his awesome bass playing...but now, he moved for the hightest level of my respect, wearing the shirt of my favorite brazilian soccer team: Flamengo...this guy was much more than great. He deserves to be in the Olimpus of bass players.
Putting the metronome on the last triplet is a great exercise that I've been using for the last two and a half decades in my teaching. It is very effective. Another approach is to put it on the SECOND eighth note of the triplet, which is even more challenging. By the way, those who denigrate the use of the metronome are completely clueless and likely have terrible tempo and feel. It's not a matter of it being your ONLY approach, but one of a number of effective teaching and learning techniques. I've used this approach with a number of student jazz pianists who play professionally, and those who can't do the triplet metronome exercise have a poor swing feel. P.S. At 8:17, he meant 120 beats per MINUTE.
Jeff Berlin: There are a multitude of great performance videos showing great players with great time, none of who acquired it with a metronome (good time doesn't come from playing with a click). Great time comes from having experience playing and knowing where the notes are on your instrument. In a nutshell, this sums up entirely, the issue about how to acquire great time in your playing.
Sorry that is just not accurate! Almost all great players I have ever met use a consistent pulse to improve time time has nothing to do with where note are it has to do with where the "time" is
RIP Jeff Andrews... may you rest in peace. The world of music has lost a huge soul... you will be missed!

The last thing I would slight re Berlin would be his outstanding and tasteful sense of melodicism.
On of my favorites bass players! Very useful lesson!!!
Já era fã! agora sou mais fã ainda!!!! Da-lhe Mengão!!!

Absolutely; well said.
Counter-argument to Jeff Berlin: Listen to him "swing", then listen to Jeff Andrews swing
@@CrandMackerel yes!!!!!
Jeff is as bad as it gets. Great info!
He may have had covid 19
@ Qiitxx Smitj and how did you come up with that theory? 🤔
Dale Ford I was just reading the blog and he was admitted for phuemonia right.
Qiitxx Smitj yes, one year before the COVID outbreak!
Ok
Dale Ford yes it is possible the virus could have been around much longer than we thought
