Straight wisdom. You can have all the chops in the world, and if you've never thought about COMPOSITION and how the pieces go together this way, you wouldn't be a great player.
Don't beat yourself up... you're a great player, and that's great advice. In retrospect, I've done this without thinking about it, then wondered why I liked that bassline better than some others. Sometimes genius involves pointing out something that seems obvious in hindsight to others. Thanks... you've helped me understand my playing better! Brilliant!
This took a while to sink in but it actually dawned on me one day when I was recording with my band. As a younger player, I was playing all over the place, and when we listened to it, it was obvious to everyone that I was overplaying. Then, I decided to only do licks when the singer wasn't singing or when the guitarist wasn't doing lead runs. I think I grew up a little that day.
That is some great advice. I'm a self taught bass player of 5 years. That advice is so simple and effective I can't see how I missed that logically. (I'm going to binge watch all of your videos to see what other hidden nuggets of Truth are in there). Stay motivated man, cuz your motivating me. Blessings to you.
Jayme your way of explaining things is very well executed. A while back I thought who is this guy with all these nice toys. But you keep it simple as pie , apple pie that is. Much thanks my friend.
I was fortunate to be an unschooled (had a good ear) bass player who ended up in working bands. My schooling was essentially duplicating what the masters did. When you revealed the specifics of this secret weapon, my reaction was, "Well, of course!" Instinctively, I wouldn't crowd a vocal line. I just knew it was out of place. I would only ad fills when it seemed to make sense, to fill a void, to add spice, to set up what is to come. These are all the terms I would have used if asked about it, while not realizing I was discussing theory.
I kinda thought most people knew this already. Maybe not then. Great advice to anyone trying to run over the singer & wondering why you get dirty looks.
Awesome Terry! Please let me know how it goes, I'd love to hear it! And if it's not too much to ask, would you mind sharing this video? I'd really appreciate the help!
I notice that in a lot of the music I listen to where there are breaks or pauses in the song the bass player does his runs or licks and it comes out smooth. I try to add that to my arsenal. I know what you're talking about and even the greatest bassists have to do the same thing.
Haha, thanks Martin. I wasn't trying to get anyone but I'm glad you're on board! Let me know how it goes, definitely a great one to have in your bag of tricks :) If it's not too much to ask, would you mind sharing this video for me? I'd really appreciate the help Martin!
Really cool video thanks for sharing. I'm going to try and remind myself of this tomorrow when recording and hopefully it'll sound good! Quick question, what mic to you use to record your voice because It's one of the cleanest captures I've heard on this type of video. Guess the acoustics of the room help too. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Ben! Let me know how it goes, so send me a link where I can listen to it, I'd love to check it out! The mic I use is a Rode NTG2 and I do a lot of processing with iZotope RX Plugins. They're great for cleaning up audio :) Would you mind doing me a favor and sharing this video for me? I'd greatly appreciate your support! Thanks again Ben!
Awesome job and advise Jayme! I really think this is so helpful and it'll really clean up my playing. Btw that bass sounds Killer what kind of pickups and preamp you got in that Mbass? Thanks again Jayme!!! Blessings!!!
Thanks Rob, I'm honored! Actually, there's no preamp in it but it does have Aguilar 4J-60's in it. If it's not too much to ask, would you mind sharing this video for me? I'd really appreciate the help Rob!
Amazing tip and it really makes sense. I'm already aplying it. The video could be shorter though. Thanks a lot for your channel and everything you share for free.
5:06 DONT EMBELLISH OVER THE VOCAL, FILL IN THE SPACE IF AT ALL. Also don't piss in the sink, don't eat live chicken, don't drive a tractor indoors and don't lead someone on with the promise of a secret and then talk about the promise but without saying what it is and then after 5 minutes, reveal that the secret is that, "secrets are interesting." DUDE, you just did what you said not to do. You filled all over the secret to good bass lines.
After years of playing your advice is kinda obvious to me, but for a long time it wasn't. I had the privilege of recording an album with a very famous English rock musician some years ago, the producer on that session said to me exactly what you're saying here, and previously I had never even given it any consideration. Good advice.
really informative.. never really thought of it like that , but yeah, this exactly what i do without thinking about it. Now im aware I can already think of several parts i need to go back, rework and remove some notes. Subscribed! Will share this.
I find it funny how this should in some way be obvious, but still we're rarely told about it as a good practice. Great advice Jayme! And by the way, even though I'm not a professional, I think your playing in that clip was on point, I have no doubt about it.
Thanks dude. It's actually really funny how everyone's reaction is, "Well this obvious," but yet I went 26 years before I ever heard someone say it out loud haha!
Jayme Lewis That's the point, it sounds obvious only when you say it aloud, but you may have never thought about it before. It's a tricky matter hahaha. See you!
Anything he's written :) Counterpoint is a defining compositional device for that time period (Baroque era 1600-1750) so you can hear it in literally any piece that was written during that time. But for sure check out his Well Tempered Clavier - he literally wrote the book on counterpoint. Inside the WTC you'll see the Inventions and Fugues that I'm referring to. Let me know if you have any other questions, I'd love to help!
So simple, but oh so true and often overlooked! I think as I've matured as a player, I've become much more selective where I choose to place my fills. I cringe when I think of my earlier days 😁
I was just thinking about that yesterday. To do the more difficult stuf in between singing. I am switching from guitar to bass but i am also the singer in the band. I am a better bass player and my friend is better at guitar especially solo's. I find it so hard to sing as i play bass but i also don't want to play just the root to make it easy to sing. I actually forgot that i was thinking that, your video reminds me of it. I going to practice this. Thanks. Great video.
Thank you so much, I'm honored! If it's not too much to ask, would you mind doing me a HUGE favor by sharing this video for me? I'd really appreciate the help!
I'm new... like just a year now. I don't read music, I use tabs to learn. I find myself on certain songs, dropping or adding notes. I know I'm just learning, but some of the songs seem to have notes that I think are wasted.. it's 2 or 3 more than needed for a smooth transition in chords. My instructor teased me, "Oh, I see what you've done here." I guess what I'm asking is, is improve on a well known establish song a bad thing?
Not at all! I started out the same way you did, and I love trying to get into other people's heads to see how they come up with stuff. But that's only a tool to lead me back to, well, me! How can these influence ME and the way the I think? That's the ultimate goal, I think :)
Great video man! Just found out about your channel. A bit too much rambling on this particular video but great pieces of knowledge shared. We never stop to think about basic stuff like this but it's so important. :)
Very interesting! I'm a guitar player that also plays bass on my music. I'm trying to learn more about bass to make it sounds less like a guitar players did it. I suspect you channel will be useful for that. Subscribed!
Thank you! I'm honored :) Did you know that Lukather recorded the bass on Beat It? Tons of guitarists have been doing our job better than us for years haha! Obviously you'll hear this trick on more than just bass though, you'll notice it especially in country and rock guitarists too. Thanks for the subscribe, I hope you enjoy what you see here! Would you mind sharing this video for me? I'd truly appreciate the support! Thank you!
just listen to traditional music from almost everywhere, vocals with the band playing along- pause with a nice riff or a catchy phrase from a basic melodic instrument-and back to the vocal part
Truth! I'm not a bitchin' technical player. I have good chops but I'm not dropping jaws with my technical skills (not my job really and never really cared to). But... I get a lot of compliments on my playing. Mostly because I'm solid, I know where the pocket is and I know to shine in the spaces between. My point... you don't have to have the best chops to be a killer bass player.
i will keep this advice truly helps.. by the way were on the same track church player too.. but still has a lot more way to learn from bass playing.. keep it up brother God Bless your channel.. ;) Shalom
Serve the song! Bass should stand out with drums just under vocals in the mix ( Rhythm Section)! The best advice to the key of easy great recordings was passed on to me by an Engineer at Electric Lady Studio...."Record great musicians."
sometimes I get a little overwhelmed by how much there is to know at one time IE; lock with the bass drum , bass fill with other drums, when to play triads and arpeggios etc. ARRRRGGGGH! lol been playing by ear for years but learning theory at this point in my bass playing gets confusing.
It's ok to take a step back and process things slowly; I was the same way Kenneth. I played by ear for 10 years before learning the mechanics of music. There's nothing wrong with taking your time to internalize what you're studying. Hope that helps!
Thank you Jesse, I'm honored! If it's not too much to ask, would you mind doing me a HUGE favor by sharing this video for me? I'd really appreciate the help dude!
I think that is good advise but bassist still need to be cautious as it still depends on the song as well as the artist and producer. There may be times when they may not want any fills at all and rightly or wrongly ask you to stick to the root.
Well these days everyone is a session player - anyone with internet and a meager home recording setup can join the game. There's still studios and people who work "full time," but that number is much lower than it used to be. And "full time" is more like "sometimes" nowadays haha. But ultimately it's just networking, taking all the work you can get, and doing lots of favors. Hope that helps!
Play for the music, not your ego. The more players you add, the less each player plays. Just know when to come in, and when to lay back.
5 ปีที่แล้ว
Hi Stash...you are saying the same exact thing Jayme is saying. He is not using his ego, this advise is more for beginners and pros that has a big ego. I'm a professional percusion player for over 40 years and this advise is a "MUST" for every existing musician. For me, the only instrument that can make any lick when the singer is voicing, is the piano, period. Jayme isn't talking about ego. This guy is a very humble musician and a great teacher. If you understand this is not a great advise for you, why bother with ur comment?
5 ปีที่แล้ว
Hi Jayme...i need to make a funny comment about ur background...it looks like a funeral, honestly...those are funeral lamps🔦🤣and the red color that most of all the funeral use... Sorry..this is just a laugh jajajajajaja😂 And thanks for that great advise witch is a "MUST" for ALL musicians. So it's really no secret, it's harmony!! You're one of my idol !! Keepup the good work !!👍🏽🎶🙋🏾♂️🇵🇷
Obviously there are exceptions to this concept - in fact I'd say nothing in music/art is a hard "rule" - but even in a lot of those tunes you'll hear this concept being applied (though for those guys, playing "simple" means something totally different!).
For me you are kind of like Scott Devine. I think you two guys are the best teachers on the internet .Over the years I have gotten so familiar with what you do that sometimes I forget how good you are just as bass players. Until you play something that just completely floors me. So, Jayme don't ever be embarrassed to use your own material to show us something. I'm pretty sure I speak for everybody...You are the reason why we are here
Dude, you are a great bass player, watched enough of your videos to hear your tasteful tone and playing. But being humble is also key to greatness. Thanks for your output, I am enjoying it a lot!
Jayme - I appreciate the explanation before the musical demo. I admit that I was anxious to get to the music, but I realize the value of learning the CONCEPTS behind what you do. As a result of taking the time to listen, and comprehend the musical concepts that you explained, I have already begun to utilize them with other songs that I play with my worship team. Thanks! Peace and blessings!
Reminds me of Sting talking about singing and playing bass at the same time, he's in total control of harmony of the song. Solid advice Jayme!
Man, I wish I could play and sing like him. He and McCartney are my ultimate heroes for controlling the song haha.

Thank you....sheesh i was about to click off

A very simple tip but powerfull at the same time. I had never realized this detail. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. May God reward you.
Thank you Sergio, I'm honored!
Information relating to the title starts at 4:57 and ends at 5:14
Best musical tip I've heard in a while, thanks Jayme. no BS, I am guitarist now learning to play bass, very helpful!
Thank you so much, I'm honored!
Pino is a master of what your talking about.
Absolutely! One of the reasons he's a pro, I'm sure :)
Yes.. His fretless work with Paul Young is legendary. Wherever I lay my Hat is a prime example of the bass and vox working off each other.
Is the song in the video still available anywhere? I can’t find it. I think it’s called Our Hope Has Come..
Jayme your way of explaining things is very well executed.
A while back I thought who is this guy with all these nice toys.
But you keep it simple as pie , apple pie that is.
Much thanks my friend.
Mark Beretta Thank you Mark I'm honored!
Jamie, you are great. period.
Thank you Raoul, I'm honored!
So obvious that it's so easy to overlook it. Thank you for this great tip!!
will use it ASAP!!
Thanks

Great advice, I am recording bass on my and other artists tracks so going to try this
Awesome Terry! Please let me know how it goes, I'd love to hear it! And if it's not too much to ask, would you mind sharing this video? I'd really appreciate the help!
I notice that in a lot of the music I listen to where there are breaks or pauses in the song the bass player does his runs or licks and it comes out smooth. I try to add that to my arsenal. I know what you're talking about and even the greatest bassists have to do the same thing.
Absolutely! It's not so much a secret, as much as it is something that the greats have always done and I never noticed they all had it in common haha!
Congrats, you got me, 25 years of playing and hadn't thought of it, I probably do it some of the time, but not deliberately...I will now.
Haha, thanks Martin. I wasn't trying to get anyone but I'm glad you're on board! Let me know how it goes, definitely a great one to have in your bag of tricks :) If it's not too much to ask, would you mind sharing this video for me? I'd really appreciate the help Martin!

Can you recommend some Bach pieces to listen too with the 2 note melody bass line examples ?

Great Lesson...from a Humble, Super Musician that you are...Thank you.
I'm honored Brian, thank you!
Why did you remove the rest of your worship music tutorials? That video on arpeggios with the wah pedal was amazing!
😭

Thank you!
just listen to traditional music from almost everywhere, vocals with the band playing along- pause with a nice riff or a catchy phrase from a basic melodic instrument-and back to the vocal part
Truth! I'm not a bitchin' technical player. I have good chops but I'm not dropping jaws with my technical skills (not my job really and never really cared to). But... I get a lot of compliments on my playing. Mostly because I'm solid, I know where the pocket is and I know to shine in the spaces between. My point... you don't have to have the best chops to be a killer bass player.
Great advice. Thanks!
You're welcome Sanjak!
Excellent video!!! Keep going!
Thank you Ramón! I'm honored! If you wouldn't mind, would you share this video for me? I'd truly appreciate the help!
You've got something at the head of your bass. I've heard of it, but forgot what it's called. Could you enlighten me, please?
It's a Gruv Gear fretwrap :)
Thanks a lot!
i will keep this advice truly helps.. by the way were on the same track church player too.. but still has a lot more way to learn from bass playing.. keep it up brother God Bless your channel.. ;) Shalom
Thank you so much, I'm honored! Would you mind doing me a favor and sharing this video? I'd really appreciate the help dude!
Well... Now that you make me think about it I am already doing it, but I never thought about it. I just feel the moment.
Now you know why everyone keeps calling you to play bass for them ;)
Jayme Lewis - The Bassist probably o.o
Serve the song! Bass should stand out with drums just under vocals in the mix ( Rhythm Section)! The best advice to the key of easy great recordings was passed on to me by an Engineer at Electric Lady Studio...."Record great musicians."
Great advice👍
sometimes I get a little overwhelmed by how much there is to know at one time IE; lock with the bass drum , bass fill with other drums, when to play triads and arpeggios etc. ARRRRGGGGH! lol been playing by ear for years but learning theory at this point in my bass playing gets confusing.
It's ok to take a step back and process things slowly; I was the same way Kenneth. I played by ear for 10 years before learning the mechanics of music. There's nothing wrong with taking your time to internalize what you're studying. Hope that helps!
11:26 that noise 😂😂😂
I do what I can :)
very good lesson. thank you again. 🐶
Thank you so much!
your videos are so good
thank you banci!
I am always listening for the singer to take a pause and try to slip in a phrase for a response
You are amazing and I miss ya!
Thanks dude! I always miss you :)
Absolutely true
...i did the same thing...
Bro you are such a great explainer dude.....
Thank you Jesse, I'm honored! If it's not too much to ask, would you mind doing me a HUGE favor by sharing this video for me? I'd really appreciate the help dude!
I think that is good advise but bassist still need to be cautious as it still depends on the song as well as the artist and producer. There may be times when they may not want any fills at all and rightly or wrongly ask you to stick to the root.
That is a good 30 sec piece of knowledge...not sure why the video had to be 13 minutes long
just cuz ur a finger player doesnt mean u can get attack for rock gigs, jeph is amazing finger player that does that playing in between
ja how'd you become a session player
Well these days everyone is a session player - anyone with internet and a meager home recording setup can join the game. There's still studios and people who work "full time," but that number is much lower than it used to be. And "full time" is more like "sometimes" nowadays haha.

Sorry..this is just a laugh jajajajajaja😂
And thanks for that great advise witch is a "MUST" for ALL musicians. So it's really no secret, it's harmony!!
You're one of my idol !!
Keepup the good work !!👍🏽🎶🙋🏾♂️🇵🇷
Freaking great tip!!
thank you!
The golden secret
Blues does the same counterpoint between voice and guitar
Nice!
Dude what about jazz players? Some songs basically are fills on whole song!
Obviously there are exceptions to this concept - in fact I'd say nothing in music/art is a hard "rule" - but even in a lot of those tunes you'll hear this concept being applied (though for those guys, playing "simple" means something totally different!).
J. S. Bach is a groove master
Agreed!
For me you are kind of like Scott Devine. I think you two guys are the best teachers on the internet .Over the years I have gotten so familiar with what you do that sometimes I forget how good you are just as bass players.

Thank you, I'm honored!
golly, that fender sounds great...
Thanks Ethan! It's actually an M Bass, but certainly inspired by a Fender design :)
I realized watching another video yesterday that it was an M Bass. It's a perfect example of one of the signature fender tones.
Ya, it's certainly become my go to instrument over the years!
Awesome
Thank you!
Save yourself 9 minutes of preamble and go straight to th-cam.com/video/irktCaAHAB4/w-d-xo.html
Dude, you are a great bass player, watched enough of your videos to hear your tasteful tone and playing. But being humble is also key to greatness. Thanks for your output, I am enjoying it a lot!
Thank you Crawford, I'm honored!
Jaco and Joni might have disagreed.
The bass is there, That is hard to here most of the time.
great
Thank you!
Sounds like this guy is concentrating too much on hip bass playing and not enough on worship.
nice*
Thank you!
I had to listen to 5 min of yammering for you to get to the point. Good advice but to much bs to get to the point

Jayme - I appreciate the explanation before the musical demo. I admit that I was anxious to get to the music, but I realize the value of learning the CONCEPTS behind what you do.
As a result of taking the time to listen, and comprehend the musical concepts that you explained, I have already begun to utilize them with other songs that I play with my worship team.
Thanks! Peace and blessings!
