    Getting a gig with a good band or a major artist can be awesome. You get to play great shows, help write cool songs and really hone your bass chops. But finding that gig can be difficult, and getting a place in that band can be even harder.
    In today’s video I reached out to Grammy-winning vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Jacob Collier, to talk through everything you need to know to get that big-time gig.

    Common sense that every musician needs to follow: Always put the song/music first. Guitarists bassists and vocalists nowadays all tend to think of everything revolving around *their* part.

      I saw this a lot in bands I've been in.
      Had a drummer that was the epitome of this. He literally never just played a straight forward, rock-style beat.
      Everything had to be an opportunity for him to show off

      Sounds like your drummer should have been a front man/vocalist.

    A bit of toss really, a bass player should be able to play on time and correct notes. Part of being in a band is that there are no individual's, you are part of a greater thing than yourself.

    • @buckemptier

      I don't think there should even be an expression like "in the pocket", if you aren't playing in time what the fuck are you doing, are you even a musician? It's so fundamental that there shouldn't need to be a designation like "in the pocket". Play on time or don't play at all.

    kinda ridiculous. You become who you are by imitating what you like. This is all musicians develop their style. You start off as a copy cat.

    As an artist / producer i feel the same thing when it comes to players they have to look at the big picture and become part of the journey as a team , we have to be on the same place mentally in order to perform together flawlessly , that being said i own the same pair of headphones basically do everything with them recording mixing and mastering, they rock !!

    Finally, I don't know who this jacob guy is, but he's confirming what I commented on a video about "why most bass players suck" a few weeks back. I specifically commented that bass players and all musicians need to have "pocket groove" (timing rhythm). Plus he mentioned that you need to be creative and also be a good hang, this jacob guy knows what he's talking about. I don't mean to be cocky but after 30 years of music performance in LA as a bass player you need to groove and be in the 'pocket'. Hence, "pocket groove".
