I met Carol Kaye back in the early 80's in Monterey California. What a super nice and intelligent human being. We hung out for a few days before she moved on to New York. I'll never forget her generosity with her bass knowledge. We hung out in the local music store for three days. And she didn't ask for a dime in the process. God Bless her for every thing she shared with me about bass, when I was just a mere young pup.
Up until today I had never heard of Carol Kaye, but I've spent my entire life enjoying her work. A real pleasure to discover this great musician. I had no idea a woman played all those great basslines. It's confusing why she isn't more famous. What an amazing career.
+Buelligan88 And admit it... the testosterone instinctively made you want to undermine and bash her work and made you feel a sort of shame for actually admiring a female guitarist. No doubt you must have felt had. I run into many guys like you who are shocked and embarrassed to find a guitar player they thought was epic was a girl the whole time. Too late now.

My husband is the legendary Nashville bassist, Bob Moore. He was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame a few years back as were the Los Angeles Wrecking Crew. All of the Wrecking Crew attended the grand affair except for Carol Kaye. It was a sad disappointment that she wasn't there. We would love to have met her. She's simply marvelous.
She was a jazz guitarist before she transitioned to bass because someone didn't show up to a session gig. She, as many other individual players, deserve to be in the RRHoF
One of America's national musical treasures. An icon that should be talked about in music education not only for her immense impact on early rock n roll, and movie scores, but jazz, as well her being a long time educator. Although I am not a bassist persay, I have started using her techniques in my home studio with immense success. She pioneered the essential bass sound that made rock n roll bass jump out of a 3" speaker.
Hi there, I wonder if you could possibly shed some light on how you managed to get a lesson with Cathy Kaye? My partner is so passionate about the bass guitar ( though he’s just a beginner) and talks so much about Cathy Kaye. She’s such an inspiration to him! I’m a bit clueless with this stuff, but I would love to arrange for him to have a brief tutorial with her - many thanks!
I so love this musician...she make so much common sense...lifts the veil of mystery off of jazz playing for me , a guitarist / bass player of so many years...I Love Carol Kaye ! Great Musician and Teacher
ICON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The most important female bassist EVER! Carole Kaye played on so many sessions with so many iconic artist as part of bthe Wrecking Crew that it would literally take hours to name the songs. I love you Ms Kaye.
I saw an interview with her on dutch television, I didn't know who she was, now she's one of my real life heroes. I love this woman and I hope people will give her the credit she deserves.
Too talented, she expected her popularity died after 75 but she have a lot of fanbase in line with Glen Campbell, Hal Blaine and Tommy Tedasco.. My top 3 favorite bassist is Carol Kaye, Paul McCartney and Jaco Pastorius.
OH WOW!!! I LOVE THIS LADY!!! What a talent and a great teacher. I'm a guitarist, but signn me up for ANYTHING that this lady is teachin. Man the learnin with Carol never stops. One of the best. :)
Carol Kaye is an ICON! She is one of the greatest bass players ever. Period. She has played on more hits than anybody. To top it off, she is one of the most open and giving musicians of her artistry. By the way, that be bop lick she shows is from the melody of Honeysuckle Rose, a staple of the jazz repertoire. Classy example. Love ya Carol.
She's a hell of a fine jazz guitarist too. That's how she started. Carol was on HUNDREDS of pop and rock hits. Beach Boys, Righteous Bros, etc, etc. Mommas and Papas. One of the most recorded bassists ever.
This woman is walking Rock n Roll history. We owe her. She should be granted induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, while she can still witness it. If anyone ever deserved anything, Maybe she could do a Tedex video. I would gladly pay any price just to be in the same room with her, listening to what she has to say.
thanks carol for those wonderful books you published, my bass playing has totally improved over the years, reading, soloing, and time-keeping, i dig ya lady!
EXACTLY! I myself came to realize years ago, that if you REALLY want to be a great improviser, know your harmony! Get to know those chords inside and out and how they relate to each other. I almost NEVER use the scale approach for improvising anymore. I tend to use chord tones all the way. It's a much simpler and more effective approach in my humble opinion. She's giving great advice here. Do yourself a favor and LISTEN aspiring musicians. Listen close. :)
This is without any doubt a gifted human being. Just incredible the level of knowledge of music in general to be able to play bass and guitar and I'm sure any instrument or anything able to produce sounds with perfect harmony.
Carol Kaye is amazing. Legendary at that. This is one of the best bass lessons you can hear. The second after I watched this video I went on my bass and studied all this, but by her saying this does not mean you should not know your scales. Notice how even after she talks about the chordal tones she shows that she does know her scales. You have to know both. They are both key aspects to music, so i do not think you could just easily get by knowing one or the other.
So Greatfully for all the work you did in the Beach Boys recording sessions. I have listened to your bass as I have learned to play bass to those songs myself. Pass this on to Carol please.

Thanks for chasing those down and bringing the list. I just wanted to also mention the soundtracks. Hawaii 5-0 theme comes to mind. Another amazing bass line. I'm sure there are so many we could get carpal tunnel trying to list them all.
I bought a bass (Dan Armstrong acrylic) in 1975 at age 14, from my sisters boyfriend. Went downtown to the music store and bought a Mel Bay, and Carol Kaye, "How to play the bass guitar" books. Went home, into my bedroom, and went over those books until I had memorized the fret board, and played along with some theory explained. Wish I still had them. My 12y/o son has taken interest in the bass (thinks I am going to give him my Warwick Corvette Pro 😭) and I will get these books for him as well. I know there are better books, CD's, and DVD's out there now. But, he likes some old school things, so we'll see. Carol Kaye is a funk/groove, master!
carol kaye explains it you have players who play guitar scales on bass & those who play bass in the groove ,, i am finally in the process of finally understanding the difference ,,
Music legend! Cool interview.. The most recorded bass player of all time - this record will probably stand forever.. The people complaining about the use of a pick are failing to see the forest for the trees. Some of the most classic round bass tones on classic legendary tracks emanated from Carol Kaye. She was a jazz guitarist before moving to electric bass. Pioneer. Legend. A master. Influential. Watch, listen & learn!
Bass shed: scale notes are the notes of the scale from 1 to 8. The right ones are a matter of choice, intention and of course, harmony. The chord notes are the notes of each chord. But keep in mind that if you go skipping notes 1-3-5-7-9-11-13, a chord contains all the scale notes. It is supposed that harmony and melody equals each other in proportion. But the reality of playing tells us that theres no proportion, but relationship (to use math terms).
This woman is not only a charming person to hear..she is a GIANT OF A MUSICIAN AND BASSIST...who could ever discount her in any way...ANY WAY!!!!!!!!! Her accomplishments would run off the page...I like that bass she is using...It is an Ibanez SRX 700 and I have one just like it...now to play as well????? But really Carol, YOU are a true Legend...and a lovely person...May you live to be a 100 years to spread your good will and musical knowledge. ...
One of my all time favorite bassists, and unbelievable tone with a pick. She is great at muting and gets the right sound. Her bass lines sound like a needle being weaved through fabric, just fluid...
Carol Kaye is such a legend. Jeez the amount of hits and incredible musicians she's played on and with is staggering. She's a joy to listen to and watch. I saw someone mention the rock n roll Hall of fame and frankly the hall of fame is a joke. I mean it's great for the people inducted but it's ridiculous with the amount of people truly deserving to be in it while so many bands get in that have no business being in it...or at least not yet. Not before legends like Carol Kaye and The Meters to name one band that should be in it without a doubt.
Thank you! A fantastic and highly informative read that puts things - clearly - in perspective. It is unfortunate the author had to endure such a barrage of bother from Ms. Kaye, but ultimately his research has proven a point that - surprisingly - needed to be made. I particularly appreciated that the author's disclaimers against Ms. Kaye were presented as facts and did not come off as a personal attack on her.
I just started playing bass last year, and this sounds way better to me than just playing scales, if I can every wrap my head around the entire concept, I think I will be a much better bassist for it Carol Kaye is very cool.
Carol's Guitar Hits (Short List): Unchained Melody & You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling - The Righteous Brothers / La Bamba - Ritchie Valens / The Beat Goes On & I Got You Babe - Sonny and Cher / And Then He Kissed Me - The Crystals / Surfin' USA - The Beach Boys / What A Wonderful World - Sam Cooke / What The World Needs Now - Jackie DeShannon / Danke Shoen - Wayne Newton / In the Misty Moonlight - Dean Martin / Mexican Shuffle - Herb Alpert / Do You Love Me - The Isley Brothers / Little Old Lady From Pasadena, Dead Man's Curve & Surf City - Jan and Dean /Johnny Angel - Shelly Fabares / Try To Remember - Ed Ames / etc, etc...
I met Carol Kaye back in the early 80's in Monterey California. What a super nice and intelligent human being. We hung out for a few days before she moved on to New York.

I'd love to meet her!
That is so cool. I want to take lessons from her.
@@iceWaterProductions1Ya she Teaches on Skype 😁
That's wonderful ❤ thats treasure.
This woman is a TRUE musician! Bravo Carol!
Now this is the type of history I would have loved to have learned about in school.
Right on!
Would LUV to jam w/ her!
HUGE contribution to our music culture she is!
these were the 6 most informative minutes I watched in a LONG time! All gold!
She's an incredible player and teacher.... a true living legend.
Up until today I had never heard of Carol Kaye, but I've spent my entire life enjoying her work. A real pleasure to discover this great musician. I had no idea a woman played all those great basslines. It's confusing why she isn't more famous. What an amazing career.
...and with a plectrum no less

And admit it... the testosterone instinctively made you want to undermine and bash her work and made you feel a sort of shame for actually admiring a female guitarist. No doubt you must have felt had.
I run into many guys like you who are shocked and embarrassed to find a guitar player they thought was epic was a girl the whole time.
Too late now. Can't call her work 'muddled garbage' or 'sloppy' or 'soulless' now. X'D
BrightStarling Feminista What the fuck are you babbling about?
Buelligan88
The obvious nature of your kind of course.
Are you really THAT daft?
BrightStarling Feminista Apparently one of us is.
My husband is the legendary Nashville bassist, Bob Moore. He was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame a few years back as were the Los Angeles Wrecking Crew. All of the Wrecking Crew attended the grand affair except for Carol Kaye. It was a sad disappointment that she wasn't there. We would love to have met her. She's simply marvelous.
I just love this lady! I cannot believe I have just found her! Phenomenal!
She was a jazz guitarist before she transitioned to bass because someone didn't show up to a session gig. She, as many other individual players, deserve to be in the RRHoF
her tone is amazing, I love it! I am not at all an Ibanez guy for bass, but this thing sounds wicked in her command!
One of America's national musical treasures. An icon that should be talked about in music education not only for her immense impact on early rock n roll, and movie scores, but jazz, as well her being a long time educator. Although I am not a bassist persay, I have started using her techniques in my home studio with immense success. She pioneered the essential bass sound that made rock n roll bass jump out of a 3" speaker.
I took a guitar lesson with her once....she's an amazing guitar player too. Nice lady.
Hi there, I wonder if you could possibly shed some light on how you managed to get a lesson with Cathy Kaye? My partner is so passionate about the bass guitar ( though he’s just a beginner) and talks so much about Cathy Kaye. She’s such an inspiration to him! I’m a bit clueless with this stuff, but I would love to arrange for him to have a brief tutorial with her - many thanks!
I have worked with Carol many times over many years; she is simply the greatest and is real funny also.
I so love this musician...she make so much common sense...lifts the veil of mystery off of jazz playing for me , a guitarist / bass player of so many years...I Love Carol Kaye ! Great Musician and Teacher
Unfortunately always forgotten when it comes to polls of the best players.
Hired gun and it is the famous players that get recognition. Too few know who and what she did .
IF CAROL KAYE TELLS IT
LEARN IT
FROM THE MISSTRESS OF BASS
ICON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The most important female bassist EVER! Carole Kaye played on so many sessions with so many iconic artist as part of bthe Wrecking Crew that it would literally take hours to name the songs. I love you Ms Kaye.
Carol is amazing. I don’t remember how I stumbled across her on TH-cam but wow what an amazing musician and sharp as a tack!
I saw an interview with her on dutch television, I didn't know who she was, now she's one of my real life heroes. I love this woman and I hope people will give her the credit she deserves.
Why isn't she in the R'N'R HOF? For God sakes, she played the bass on Good Vibrations and a million other great songs...
Faheydoug because fame is not about music or skill it's about personality.
There are more amazing musicians off stage than on.
Faheydoug she came up with the bass sound that is in Sonny and Cher's The beat goes on. She is amazing!
She Bad Respect
She's to talented for that circus
Too talented, she expected her popularity died after 75 but she have a lot of fanbase in line with Glen Campbell, Hal Blaine and Tommy Tedasco.. My top 3 favorite bassist is Carol Kaye, Paul McCartney and Jaco Pastorius.

Holy moly I love Carol! Everyone wishes she was their mom, you'd be one lucky kid.
"You gotta play hills and valleys". Carol Kaye can play any f***ng way she wants and it sounds amazing!!! Wish I could play that great with a pick.
She's a hell of a fine jazz guitarist too. That's how she started. Carol was on HUNDREDS of pop and rock hits. Beach Boys, Righteous Bros, etc, etc. Mommas and Papas. One of the most recorded bassists ever.

MASTER MUSICIAN+HUMILITY+HUMOR=CAROL KAYE🎸❤
Simply the best Bass player of all times Carol kaye
Great advise from a LEGEND in the music industry!!! Thumbs up darlin!!!
Every bass player needs to see this video.
Aw, Carol is amazing! As usual.
I read about her years ago in Rolling Stone magazine... I believe they call her Special K
I bought a bass (Dan Armstrong acrylic) in 1975 at age 14, from my sisters boyfriend. Went downtown to the music store and bought a Mel Bay, and Carol Kaye, "How to play the bass guitar" books.

Interestingly,Mel Bay had criticized CAROL KAYE for "making mistakes". In fact,Mel Bay was wrong!!
Carol kaye Said to me that you should always stay away froms scales and use chordal notes instead to increase your way of improvising.
She's great!!
N-I-C-E!!! Now THIS is something REALLY interesting form a REAL and knowledgeable bass player!!! Great video from the GREAT Carol Kaye!!
carol kaye explains it you have players who play guitar scales on bass & those who play bass in the groove ,, i am finally in the process of finally understanding the difference ,,
What an inspiration!
Great stuff 🔥

holy balls this interview has completely changed the way I play bass I wish I could personally thank Carol Kaye
she knows a lot about music - and played on "Good Vibrations," so that is cool...
Check out her playing on the theme to Kodachrome or Mission Impossible. She is just incredible!
An Icon of bass with a good angle that we should really take to heart

Carol,
YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO ANYONE WHO LOVES MUSIC! I love music, and I love you too! A young fan.
Thats one of the best lessons that I've gotten.. and I went to school for jazz.
Great info and insight!
Brilliant!
you have to remember she did start out as a jazz guitar player so her knowledge of chord structures (in terms of the notes) is amazing.
One of my all time favorite bassists, and unbelievable tone with a pick. She is great at muting and gets the right sound. Her bass lines sound like a needle being weaved through fabric, just fluid...
In all of the videos I've seen of her, she's always talking about bass playing, not herself, what a nice lady.
Luv this Lady ....she is the Biz !!!
respect amazing bass player!

One of the greatest bass players.
Thank you! A fantastic and highly informative read that puts things - clearly - in perspective. It is unfortunate the author had to endure such a barrage of bother from Ms. Kaye, but ultimately his research has proven a point that - surprisingly - needed to be made. I particularly appreciated that the author's disclaimers against Ms. Kaye were presented as facts and did not come off as a personal attack on her.
What a great tone she brings about... !!!
Love ya, Carol! You're my bassist patron saint!
this is actually super helpful
I just started playing bass last year, and this sounds way better to me than just playing scales, if I can every wrap my head around the entire concept, I think I will be a much better bassist for it Carol Kaye is very cool.
Carol is the Queen of Bass - without a doubt - she and Jamerson are both GREAT...nice lesson...
Carol is fkn awesome, pure class and amazing skills. I wish I could jam with her.
she got some strong fingers!! what a wonderful player and recording legend!
I don't even play bass and I'm mesmerized by her playing and philosophy...
Amazing artist and a real ground breaker for women in music.
John Buffaloe amazingly progressive for women because she was hidden and never seen or knowingly heard?
Think about saying stuff like that.
Wow fascinating interview. I need to learn more chords!
