Speed ain't nothing w/o class....Ray was always preaching - slow down and get a good sound - don't play fast, focus on your sound & play in tune!!! Great material Bob.
In my humble opinion - playing simple is as much an attitude and mindset as much it is a musical concept. It takes courage and certainty in your playing to be able to do it. To leave those spaces hanging there like a trapeze artist about to catch their next swing.
You are so right. Being a great bass player isn’t about playing every note on the freeboard as fast as possible, which seems to be what a lot of people are trying to do now, it’s really about playing a solid foundation until an opportunity to solo.

By chance I click, but what got me is that there’s nothing “easy” in music, when the simple it get, the more complex became the musicality of it I’m studying classical guitar, and was uncomfortable the word easy, and you say it in the right way I take the lesson with me, good music is good, wherever the shape it has Thank you for sharing
Lots of interesting very supportive lines can be created from these simple not easy concepts.I'll start with a couple measures first and work from there.Awesome.Thank You.
as a jazz guitarist i get gigs with just singers and make money because i can comp in time and simple to let the singer shine. comping is to complement the music
Sir, you have a great bass. In all earnest, amazing session. I love your energy and the idea of not repeating myself on bass never occured to me as a piano player.
Excellent stuff. Many thanks. Doing this over the diatonic circle of 5th is even closer to a real chord progression: this is playing Autumn Leaves with 1 3 5 1.
Yo estudié dos libros de Ray brwon uno donde es pura técnica y otro donde tiene caminados de bajo y también en ese libro hay ejemplos de ron cárter y de Paul chambers
Anyone who bought the course would like to have me as a studies' partner? I just got the piano course (which is fantastic) and would like someone to keep pushing each other :)
Hi Guilherme! I would recommend looking into Open Studio Pro, as there's a great community of folks practicing together on a regular basis. Great way to stay inspired and accountable! Take care -Bob

Thanks Rob, completely agree!

I agree, definitely a balancing act!

I was looking for something how to add some spice to my walking, and I not only found it Ray Brown tune but Bob excellently explaining it too! Thanks!

trying to create rhythmic patterns to do simple soloing/improvising practice - I'm realizing I'm bad at creating rhythms!!
