John Patitucci is the most complete bass player alive: great solo composer and respected sideman, virtouso on both electric and acoustic bass in jazz and classical music...and a modest soul on top of it all. He was, is and will be my greatest inspiration and influence.
God damn... that clip of John Patitucci is incredible. Thanks for sharing!
Janek these vids are gold -- thank you so much
Action on a fretless, man if it's too high I can't get the singing tone...but I will try this on my fretted instruments. Good stuff Janek.
That’s awesome! Inspired by the early early country blues players, Bucka White etc!
Master of Masters.
I found with Laurence Cottle that, rather than inspiration, the challenge was in not selling up and joining an ashram after hearing him play up close.
Great player, great bloke. I live in his home town and back in the nineties he used to come to the college where I was working to do master-classes for the performing arts students. Just Wow
Very nice vlogs, Janek! You seem not only competent, but also very sympathic...
One little tip for your 2nd serve practice: Try to throw the ball more towards your left shoulder and a bit more behind, so you end up playing a nice kick serve instead of a mix between a kick and a slice service...(Just noticed that from watching you)
Hi Janek. Can you do a segment focusing on your attitude toward life and the world? It may help more people to be successful in attaining their goals above all else. Thank you for all of your best efforts and inspiring insights.
Thanks for answering my question. It was super insightful!
Andrew Golub You might want to check out Janek's book, "You're a Musician. Now What?", which is a practical guide for musicians, on how to achieve artistic independence and financial security on your own terms. By the way, he's authored several books (that one was his first), so that's another "revenue stream". Surely, there aren't enough hours in the day.... ;) I'd like to see a 2nd edition of that book, as he published it pretty early on and I'm sure he'd have tons more useful stuff to say now.
Thanks for been soooo real with your videos. My question is what was the WOW factor that hook you up with Aguilar Amplification. I know you use to play TC electronics amps and your Fodera use to have different pickups
Very enjoyable! thanks
Hey Janek, you're not only a world class bass player... You're a very good videographer and editor too...
Thank you for answering me!! 👍
Thnaks for the book Janek i bought it recently really good stuff
Hey Mr. Gwizdala, if you're looking for a 6 string bass that has a narrow neck, I highly suggest looking into the Gerald Veasley signature bass by Ibanez. It features a 14mm string spacing as opposed to the traditional 16.5mm for a 6 string allowing them to make the neck quite a ways skinnier than most 6 strings going into the higher registers.
Love your videos and I love all your music!
wonnie sounds like a toy. thin bullshit sound
zon or bust
I don't know what you were hearing, but I've heard it live before and it was super tight and beefy sounding.
John Myung of dream theater plays an Ernie ball bongo bass, strung up as a 6 string but with a 5 string neck. Plenty narrow string spacing.
Yes , I have one of these and it is way more comfortable than my Peavey Cirrus 6. It took me 6 years of playing the Peavey to finally decide that it just doesn't fit my hand. It used to make my hand tired, exhausted, despite that it sounded fantastic. The Gerald V model has the optimal spacing for me and most other standard size handed players. Even my Jazz basses originally cherished for the narrow neck, nowadays seem ok in the lower ranges but the strings feel too far apart in the higher ranges. I am most comfortable with my two Schecter studio 5 NT basses with optimal string spacing and active electronics, and two volume controls, one for each pickup.
Hi Janek, did you ever set yourself to learn as many standards as you could so you could be prepared to play in a lot of those type of gigs? or has your own work always been a priority?
Ever since the first episode of your vlog, I've been inspired to write more bass chord driven tunes. That being said, when did you first think of applying chords to the bass?
Hi Janek, great vlogs! Just a comment on 6 string bass you said if anyone makes it not to wide neck, maybe chech out pedulla thunderbas 6 , i have the 5 string and its amazing comfortable and sounds awesome!
I've seen you playing your fodera and occasionally some other basses. What other basses do you use and for what kind of music? And how do you feel about having the right bass for the right kind of job? I feel like it's more than possible too have one versatile bass and just tweak the sound and touch and different basses might be more about image, traditions and looks.
Thanks for a super inspiring vlog!
I have basically set 7:35 to 9:24 on loop/repeat for the past 3 days
STOP SHARING UPRIGHT BASS SECRETS
love your channel
Hey Janek what exactly is the string height in 32nd or 64th on your string height from the bottom of the string to top on the fret measurement just to kinda get an idea of how high your action is. I would like to try using a higher action myself to see how big of difference it is. Thanks
I would like to know this also. If you have a lesson on your setup, that would be an outstanding link to post. I wasn't aware of how big of an impact that had on you. I always thought lower is better, a bit above the fret buzz - but obviously that is not your thought anymore.
Sam Alvarez I would love to know that too, let us know, Janek!
how i should practice?and what to practice?
j. cardoso Practise what you love and how you like it
Hi Janek. Is it true that you're home schooled?
I prefer low action. To each its own.
Will vlog #37 be available for people outside the USA?
I see it from France just fine. Where are you located?
My thoughts from 10:30 to 11:05 - "Oh damn, I need to rewind. Wow, that phrasing... Yeah... Okay I think I'm getting it, but gotta rewind some more... Right, next phrase. Oh mi gosh that's intense, I need to rewind again... [insert a bunch of drum talk and 10x more rewinds]. Damn, it's just gonna get more intense from now - WHAT THE FUUUCK?!?! Oh wait, this was a vlog. Really sorry about that..."
What's that tune at 10:04?
Just don't think I could ever tolerate high action.
Cord Scott yes, me too. Spiros' on a high action loud, massive projection Great sound! but then not good for my hands. And then Arco work (50%) - just awful voicing and finger crossings in thumb. Not to mention the intonation. I think it's more suited to Pizz, lower deck.
foot faults out the wazoo
7:35
Mayonnaise ? :P
Ast A. Moore I know them man! I was just making fun of his way of saying it! :) Which might be the correct way, no idea!
Oh, heh. Sorry, then. It _does_ sound funny (which might be the intention behind the name in the first place).
Ast A. Moore No biggie!!! :) Yeah maybe haha
Outro music is too loud and doesn't fit with in..
It's too loud, but I would argue that it does fit in.
