omg, I'm just blown away. It's my goal to get to somewhere in the realm of where you are with that kind of reading skill. I've just started tackling the reading aspects of playing bass, even though I was a working bass players in a clubs for years. I admire your skills and I intend to stick with this, if for no other reason than my own satisfaction, whether I read a chart in a band for anyone or not. I'm totally immersed in it and I love seeing the happiness and pleasure it brings you...it shows and it's a tremendous incentive. Thanks for posting.
That's Janek for u! Everyone are Different and have Different teaching methods often based on how they learned! Find what u can actually LEARN from a video, instead of criticising,I would say! Janek is not teaching reading here,but he is Explaining How he,and How you can develop reading skills!Another Good thing with Janek's videos are that they are very Inspiring!!I would advice Watch Janek's videos Plus as Many others u can find! In Combination,we will All LEARN and get Inspired by it!
It's an unfortunate fact that virtuoso musicians are not necessarily particularly good teachers. However, if you stick with them, and find out what level they are working at and what they seem to expect your level to be and how they feel they can convey the information they have acquired - often very far apart - then you will actually learn from these guys. The inspiration they provide is instructive enough anyway; enjoy:)
Funny this is one of the books I used to get into sight reading ( new real book vol 2 ) then I heard jazz is ear music so started working stuff out by ear now I’ve come full circle and want to improve my sight reading again. The only trouble with this style of sight reading is you don’t develop reading multiple notes at a time so I’ve started doing some classical and baroque ( baroque is good because it tends to be contrapuntal so 2 notes at a time ) but I’m going to try time track looks tricky 😅
Hi Janek, how much actual application are there in these lessons? I think your input is very valuable though I found this lesson to be very abstract and not as hands on.
Your intentions are good but this could easily be condensed to 5 minutes. Do you believe we will watch the whole video with enthusiasm? I quit at 8 minutes.
Maybe the subject could be " Before to start sight reading " or " Tips for sight reading ". Also general idea is " get a photographic memory " well there is no other option but i would to see different ways like short cuts for memorizing mostly used timings etc. Ok my idea is , just download any of the free note composing programs , load the score listen&watch how your computer playing the notes then try to memorize , try to play.Anyway , Janek is a great player and there is some usefull ideas in this video for beginners especially.
after 9 minutes of talk...there was no sight reading instruction....just talk...and certainly not going to go thru 12 weeks of this...."your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime"
+Michael Sherrer did you miss the first 1 minute and 40 seconds of the video where I was sight reading? And then the rest of the video where I explain a collection of concepts that helped me improve my reading, and then a brief breakdown of what we're covering in this course and how it's going to help the sight reading ability of anyone who takes it? I'm all for freedom of speech and everyone being able to comment on any video that's released to the public as my one is here. But when people leave comments that are so far off the mark I do feel the need to step in for a quick reality check and recap of what the video actually contains.
Janek-what the fuck are you talking about with the "freedom of speech" BS? You are so wrapped up in yourself listen to me closely and try to follow. All I heard was you yammering about this and that-in minutia. For God's sake man, cut to the chase. You should be able to demonstrate sight reading -clearly! Sight read, explain, sight read-we don't care who shot John. And that goes for what you think are as- concepts. Janek you are no Jaco. He showed the real deal. You can't even find the deal.
+Michael Sherrer demonstrate sight-reading? He is literally reading within the first 10 seconds of the video. If you need babied through the process of "this is a quarter note, this is a Bb, this is where it is on the fretboard, etc" you should probably find your information elsewhere.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! Please excuse my fellow you tubers claiming you babble; just cause they don't get it doesn't mean you aren't offering valuable insights! Respect!

Why so many of these 'tutorials' are just a long monologue??

First thing I teach for sight-reading is - line up the music stand, so you can see your left hand! He has to move is head WAY too much. Needless...

You are a MONSTER! I enjoyed your playing very much.
anyone else realized this is a promo for a course lesson after watching the entire clip?
Hi Janek
Weird question perhaps, but what strap do you use? It looks very comfortbale :)
Cheers from good 'ol Blighty

The FREE SNEAK preview is very good value for money, i.e. no money therefore
no value !!
use it to augment your playing :P
perfect timing!
I appreciate hearing your thoughts on sight reading. Thanx
Far too much unnecessary talk. Just read and play. Break it down occasionally. Done.
How's that helpful?
Brilliant series! Bravo! Thank you.
That chick corea recording is from the late 80s, my first intro to chick corea and john Patittucci. One of my all time favorites.
Album us light years
all bass teachers the same: they have a point, don’t finish it and start playing a random song instead
Chick Corea Elektrik Band song
That is one beautiful guitar! What is it?
It's a Fodera Janek Gwizdala Imperial 5 Elite.
soo much waffle
Hi Janek, how much actual application are there in these lessons? I think your input is very valuable though I found this lesson to be very abstract and not as hands on.
something i got issue with downtuned reading drop c and such and what octave are they and such ...
mute this one, it sounds better. :-) love the facial expressions. ;-) x
Too much talking for no good reason. Didn't come for random thoughts.
Then leave.
Really helpful for me to understand how much of sight reading practise do I need, thanks!!!
Thank you Janek for posting this! You are incredible!!
Thanks for your great videos, really inspiring!
Awesome! Thank you for posting!
lol
too talkative as hell !
great lesson! thank you.
What happened to the video
Less talk ! More show how to play & break down etc...! Bla bla bla bla
