Hey James! Normally i don't comment on youtube tutorials, but i found this one very refreshing! I agree that most video's just teach a bass line without explaining the melodic background. If you understand how the song progresses, it's much easier to remember and improvise. Thanks!
Jesse Lemmen my pleasure Jessie - it’s always nice to get the positive comments and super pleased it was helpful! Are you a member of basslabgroup.com ?
Hey James. After 53 years of elec bass playing, I just love to go on your tutorials and listen to you describe brilliantly how to learn songs and then play them really well. I am trying to teach my 7 year old grandson but I will be connecting him up to your site v. soon. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Good tutorial, it made me realise that is exactly what I was doing back in the Sixties, learning new songs for the band. I just hadn't looked at it that way. If I had, I might have called it the "Eight Miles High" view - a little higher than 40,000ft, but then we all were in those innocent days.
Brilliant as always, what else can i add? thanks again.Waiting for a week of holiday (off work) to became a full member so i can focus completely on your course and no distraction. This is too good to miss.
Another nice lesson, broughams !! I did a search here for lessons on this tune, and when I saw that you had one, I clicked immediately, and didn't have to go any farther ! I'm all dialed in now! (well, up to a point, LOL!)
As always awesome and AXEsone so compliment "sorted" here is some specific bonus feedback... 1) yes the sequence is where I need to start and that was a point you made .... I am not a gifted musician and the other day I was trying to learn the track with a friend for an open stage and it was a number I didn't know and she was wanting me to get into the bleeding groove and suggested playing specific transition notes when moving between chords and it was very irritating because that is so obvious but if I don't know the structure I can't do any of that so it is a point well made. I had already said to her that I would just play the root notes on the first beat to start with aaaarrrrgggghhhh 2) it does Indeed use the chords of a 12 bar but it is indeed not in a 12 bar blues. That is a different kettle of riffs 🤔 3) yes the Roman numbers is an important to follow on for transposition 4 ) things that would be very interesting for me if you have time to reply is that on balance with my limited skills and almost no knowledge I concentrate on the root notes etc and I'm currently trying to learn about minor scales and what what passing notes I might use when I move from an C7 to F7 rather than Cm to Fm (that was a random example) but in this song the chords don't seem to be all minor and some include a seventh so the last 4 bars are shown as Dm7 A7 Dm Dm. So with the eight miles high (Byrds) approach I can ignore that in thus songs and play the specific riff but in a track that didn't have a repeated specific riff would you say that I would need to take account of majors, minors and sevenths? Once I have my son settled in for his ominous baccalaureate year I'll cough up the ££££ sterling as you well deserved payment for your "sterling" work.
Liked a lot. I don't often listen to the end, but this was full of interesting good ideas linked together, like a good novel that draws you in. Anyway, I liked best that James slowed down and actually told the count and named the note for the riff. I can figure it out but was doubly impressed and happy to see someone taking the time and giving out the info. Kudos and thanks. I will be back. Smiles
Thanks for the Video , great breakdown of the song .. Very Informative and Easy to Understand .. I really Like your Videos !!!!!! Stevie OnDaBaSs lol 😃
My binder of songs for my jazz combo is nothing but chord progressions. I use iReal Pro to generate them. Super easy to transpose in that form. I also use it to practice with as iReal Pro will play drums and a piano comp line that I can play along with.
Hey James, you were sayin in this video that often bass players jump right into the tab online without understanding the basics first. This is what happens to me, i too jump into the tab sometimes before even listening. I was wondering if there is a program or a system that helps me to understand the basic notes in songs?
@@ebassguitar Funny thing is my number one complaint is nobody ever describes the basic chord structure of the song before trying to teach it to me. The tabs are all nice but I don't know how anyone can memorize or understand a song without working out what chords they are playing first.
Hi James! I just found your channel 5 minutes ago. I'm pretty amazed and attracted by your eyebrows. I can't stop looking at it when I watch your lessons. Please don't get me wrong. I'm not judging your physical appearance or crashing on you (I'm not gay at all). I just can't help myself not starring at your eyebrows cuz they're so thick and strong to me.
I found it all a bit strange. Some aspects clear and some could be confusing for less advanced players. When playing the riff without backing track was very shabby, clumsy and out of time.

Excellent James. I like the Roman Numeral helping when changing keys.Many thanks!
So helpful isn’t it?

As pilot and a basist in my days of , I really enjoyed your 40 thousand feet concept !!! Great tutorial ! Cheers !!
Love it!

Superb! Glad it’s helpful man!
Very clear and concise explanation. Nice improvisation.
Glad you like it Michael! All the best!
Loved this one James! I like doing fills in this. The WHITE BOARD is the best way for me. Bring it back.
I’m starting too...
I’m using it in our new blues Accelorator
I wish there was one out these which was smallish and had manuscript and tab on...
@@ebassguitar There are Manuscript White boards. Some nice ones on a decent stand.
Great explanation and analysis love the subtle fills you always add to your lines...
Thanks man... I do appreciate that!
starting to get in this with my lessons last few weeks. its so much fun too look at music this way.
thanks!
Greetz Paul
I appreciate that Paul! Cheers!
The Extrapolator ! That was Kool man , thanks
Glad you like it! Cheers!

To get from a c7 to F7
Try a chromatic run of C D Eb E F… let me know how you get on!

Isn’t the last Am really an A7?
Great video but you still have not shown me how you determined the chord progression for the song or how you came up with the key the song is in.
Michael J Shoback I'll do a video and show you exactly how determine the key for this specific song when we next film!
Love it. I've been asking for this for over a year. I am excited.
Thank you, OMG, thank you. I just found out that all I have been missing is a white board!
Can’t beat a good white board!

Great lesson but your system says invalid email can you help please

Well hopefully the educational content is as strong as my eye brows ;-)
I found it all a bit strange. Some aspects clear and some could be confusing for less advanced players. When playing the riff without backing track was very shabby, clumsy and out of time.
Thanks for your feedback John.
