    Joe Dart is a modern day bass phenom. His fingerstyle funk bass grooves are at the heart of the Vulfpeck sound and Dean Town is the MUST KNOW bass line of the modern era in much the same way that Teen Town has been a bass players rite of passage since the original Jaco Pastorius recording with Weather Report in 1977.
    In this lesson I'll be breaking down and showing you how to play Dean Town bass line. I'll also be giving tips on how to approach learning the entire 'melody' section by way of 'chunking'.

    Good choice! I half-assedly learned to play this from the sheet music, but I'm looking forward to learning something new about this song. PS. Have a look at the version from the Madison Square Garden concert - 14000 people singing along with the bass solo.

  • @druidjuicer636
    @druidjuicer636 2 года назад +8

    Hey Mark. Thanks for putting this up (for free) so I can study the PhD thesis in groove and composition that Dean Town is. I think every player eventually runs into the piece they *must* learn... and this is the piece that does it for me. It has everything I want to understand in spades and without this clear rendition I think I'd be struggling to be honest. I know this has been up for years but that really makes the case for posting it up, right? Wonderful you put the practice tracks up on your website too. You're a diamond. All the best and thanks again ❤

  • @francescopalomba7076
    @francescopalomba7076 Год назад

    I think the steady 16th notes part Is the hardest of the whole line.
    After many attempts I discovered that the tricky moments are those when you change from an upper string to a lower one (EG from D string to A string). I solved this by raking on string change. So if i start the groove on index finger as I change string I and up starting on second finger.

  • @MrCBiologyIreland
    @MrCBiologyIreland 3 года назад

    Thanks a million for this and I love the 'proper' control from the 5th fret instead of open string. I think your ghost note is wrong in the tab before the B around 13:14? I think the B plays first and then the ghost note? Just sounds like it anyway but I'm only learning. Thanks again - back to the practice!

    Thanks so much for this! You sound fantastic, but I notice that Joe’s sound is a little less trebly and more staccato then it may sound with the setup you are using. Any comments on his particular technique and setup that facilitate this style - strings, muting, hand placement, etc?

    Watching Joe Dart play Dean Town with Federico Malaman and Nicolas Viccaro it looks as though he's playing the D# on the D string instead of the A string. I'm probably wrong though. Thanks for the lesson. Your bass sounds great.

  • @fredjansohn8888
    @fredjansohn8888 3 года назад

    Hi Mark, Great lesson....as usual, and thank you. Just wondered if you could clarify something for me: at around 13:03 you have written a ghost preceding the B note in the second bar of the C#m7 section, but in your tutorial you play it AFTER the B note. Then an edit note appears on the screen saying "Ghost note 'BEFORE' B as tab". From which I assume I play the ghost note not after but before the B note. Probably dumb point to want clarified as it appears self explanatory! Okay, cheers for now Fred

  • @Cake_Doge

  • @LeatherJaw
    @LeatherJaw 4 года назад

    Hi Mark So glad you did Dean Town. This tutorial is helping me a lot. Should I be playing over the bridge pickup for that tone and is there any effects being used by Joe Dart? 👍

    • @christianfazari2053
      @christianfazari2053 4 года назад

      From my understanding, Joe typically plays right over the bridge pickup with the tone rolled off. Pretty much exactly how Jaco did it with his Jazz bass! (which in effect, gets you almost the exact same type of tone)

    Your E string has a good growl to it while your other strings sound really tight. Is this due to your string gauge, scale length or something like that? I really like that tone. Great video about a great song!

    Could you perhaps give us some tips on the technique that Joe Dart uses to make his notes so short and staccato? For me, that's the most characteristic thing about the way he plays. Great videos! Thanks so much!

      @@FrederickTSchurgerDC This is more modern but I still find Teen Town much more challenging to play. Neither are particularly difficult but Teen Town has some tricky position shits. Dean Town is largely pentatonic with very conventional, common fingerings.
