Thank you very much for this video, as always superbly assembled. I’ve been playing more and more at jam sessions, and while I love So What or Impressions (especially uptempo), I sometimes have the feeling to just play whatever comes to my mind without much reflexion or building…
@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki by the way Matt, last two times I played them, guitarists just looked at me and … bass solo arrived, but what are you supposed to play 😅 same concepts but thinking in eighth notes? Thinking in modes? I tried to play melodically but the fact that the bass disappeared left so much space that I felt I should fill too much which isn’t always a good idea for a solo…
@@TheEndtroducing Big, and good, question. I may try to do a video in response to this (I'll think more about it). But in short, the very BROAD ideas I'm discussing above, yes. Like - have a concept and commit to it, and gives time to respond to and listen to band, imply other things, etc. However the execution would have to be compressed (as you suggest with eighth notes) or actually elongated - I don't mean longer notes but rather because there's more with short length notes and rests etc you have to ultimately execute it for "longer" (not clock time). For example you don't want to just put one bar of an ascending line and then jump to call and response and then jump to triplets and then jump to...do you see what I mean? To your last sentence, try to be comfortable with the empty space. I very much prefer when the drums and piano are supporting me and not dropping out. When they are engaged something can happen in that space. Did you see this video of mine? th-cam.com/video/LkSKW2oHEL4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much Matt... I'm starting to learn Stella by Starlight and this I think we'll be super helpful over the second part where the Chords last 2 bars each (plus.. I really don't know what to play over those chords, especially over the G augmented and/or how to move from the C minor to A flat) .. So thanks again for your helpful and practical videos...🙏💙
@@Kenn-rb7gq I’m glad it might help and thank you for your very generous gift! For Cmin to Ab, you can approach the Ab on the downbeat with a G, Eb, or Bb from the C minor chord (on beat 4 right before you move to Ab)
Great 👍 Many thanks!
With pleasure!
This channel is seriously one of the best educational resources for bassists on TH-cam! Keep the content coming!!!
