    Paul Chambers and Mingus are my top two favorites

    I am so pleased the YT algorithm brought you to my attention. What you are doing, and how you are doing it, is exceptional. Just the right amount of intro and back story for bringing this mildly skilled and minimally talented rock-centric bass player into the alternate universe of jazz playing. Starting with triads in part 1 is an excellent jumping off point. But here is the thing, as much sense as that made to me on the surface, it seemed like we moved into light speed as I was trying to get my head wrapped around what these two great jazz players were doing. Your point that this sumptuous feast was created from a few simple ingredients is well made, and intellectually I get it, but , now here comes the admission that might get me kicked off the channel: I don't hear or feel the groove of these particular bass lines yet! My musical brain isn't developed enough yet to put the bass lines and melodies together. I hope all is not lost because I do hear and feel the bass groove in most of what the earlier jazz players were doing (Count Basie's orchestra, Duke Ellington). I hear it, but cannot yet play it. I will keep watching and learning and hope that I might get to the point where I can sit with a jazz ensemble focused on playing the standards and not be a complete wash-out.

      Thanks for your very generous and kind words! I’m so glad that you enjoyed it.
      Regarding light speed - yes it’s a long process that involves a lot of personal practice time
      But, if you didn’t grab the PDFS yet, please grab one so I can get your email to let you know about openings for an online course that’s more detailed.
      I think I understand what you’re saying about the groove (having come from rock myself) but I’m not entirely sure.
      Are you saying you don’t *understand* the swing feel, or that it just doesn’t *resonate* with you?
      Or are you saying you don’t see where the rhythms fit together?
      Either way, I hope future videos and my studio course will help! Thanks again

      @@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki I appreciate your thoughtful response. PDF's downloaded and very appreciated. (my sight reading on the bass clef has seriously atrophied so these are a wonderful addition) The groove that I am missing must be the rhythms not fitting together in my simple brain. However, I have found this is usually the case during my first listen of completely unfamiliar pieces. Contrast this to your version of Yellow Bird - (currently listening to your album on Spotify - very nice! excellent audio quality doing justice to superior musicians and intriguing compositions) - the arrangement is very different, but at the core is the Yellow Bird we know so well - therefore, the differences are gratifying and the groove is present. So, as you advised - long process - personal practice time.

    Bravo for another great video Matt. Mr P.C. is certainly one of the true greats of this instrument and one of my favorite...

    I play bass guitar, intermediate level. I start decrypting the partitions. Your lessons shed light on just what I need to understand what I like about the most traditional bass lines. I just understand a little English, being articulated words is very good and facilitates my understanding. Thank you very much, and congratulations for all this explanatory work (I just watched How to play, part 1 and part 2, but for me it's a lot of clarity on what it should be done).👋👍

    Hi Matt, thanks so much for these great videos, I've just recently been getting into jazz bass and your videos have been really helpful in learning how the lines are made and how to construct them. I wanted to ask if you had any suggestions for exercises a beginner could do to put your teaching into practice and internalize it. Should I just get a chord chart of a song and try to make my own line, starting simple with just triads to effectively outline the chord and gradually add more things like chromatics? And if I'm learning a certain line by ear (say, Ray Brown's line in Bag's Groove), should I always aim to identify the notes he's playing and how they fit in the line (so for instance identifying what the triad notes are, what the chromatics are, like you did in this video) so I'm not just memorizing it by heart and actually learning from it?
    Thanks again for the videos!

      Hey thanks so much for watching and your kind words. Yes, you totally answered your own questions excellently. Do all that stuff as you describe. Also check out my other videos (like the one about internalizing vocabulary) for some suggestions! But yes, you’re on the right track. Don’t run before crawling though - make sure you’re comfortable really having command of being able to change notes where appropriate, try to hear the progression etc. I’m in the process of developing a full course on walking. Hope it will be offered in summer. If you didn’t download a pdf, please do so so I can have your email (if you’d like) so that I can let you know when it’s ready.

    Could it be in mesure 35 that Mr. Chambers just thought Ebmaj7 and Cm7 just as a whole chord? In the end one is the relative minor of the other.
