Same here! I think it kind of devalues what great musicians who are said to go "beast mode" have achieved. I don't think great musicians and our musical heroes go beast mode, I think they communicate on a very high level ALL the time, and then when they do something flashy that the digital content algorithm will find appealing, they are labeled as "beast mode" to attract clicks, views, subs, and follows by people exploiting that moment and making it seen like the pinnacle of music to aspiring musicians. Rather than explaining that those moments are, more often than not, a very extreme end of an incredibly diverse musical range that the player has. I rarely see the ability to play with intensity at a low volume or a slow tempo highlighted as something to aspire to... And there's a reason for that: Whether you're in the bass community, or reading a headline in Cosmo magazine, the intent behind a title is always for a click to feed the algorithm, and at the end of the day, make someone at Google a little more money through an ad being viewed. And when you concentrate that hard on the title, the thumbnail, and the click, the content rarely adds up to be anything more than just fluff. I think there are a few great exceptions to that. Whether you're a fan of Adam Neely's content or not, I think we can probably agree that objectively there is an incredible amount of thought and research that goes into his content, and although it's sometimes based around meme culture which I'm not the biggest fan of, I don't ever get the impression I'm being sold a lie, I see that there is someone who is genuinely interested in something and is a big enough nerd to put it out there in an open and honest way. It's based in experience, and seems honest. So yes, he does play the game (very well I might add) of the thumbnail, the title, and the subject matter, but always manages to position himself as someone who deserves the respect just on the level of commitment to the research and formation of an idea. Again, you might not agree with everything he has to say, and EVERY video might not be your cup of tea, but then whose is? It's important to look at the fundamentals I think, and then decide what your subjective opinions are after. Again, I don't think this is something exclusive to the bass community or the music world. I just happen to see a lot more of that content here because it's where I, and I'm sure a lot of people reading this, consume information about what we love. And the more aware we can collectively be about what being a musician, learning music, and the reality of the music business is, I think the stronger we'll be as a community.
@@janekgwizdala Agreed, the term makes it look like it's an easy achievement, but in reality it's not. Great musical moments are result of many factors and circumstances in a musicians life, and those factors and circumstances are musical but not just musical.
I could not agree more, here's to exceptional musicians being viewed as artists and professionals who have put in a lifetime's work to get to where they are, rather than just mythical heroes who went 'beast mode' on RUclips... I'm sure the person who coined that phrase wasn't a prolific musician themselves, otherwise they'd have seen how reductive it is.
It’s a horrible term. I’d prefer the term taken from sport, “flow”. This is when everything comes together, time seems arbitrary, you’re deep in the zone and all that practice pours out. Alive!
@@janekgwizdala i see it as a fun way to say the guy entered "the zone"... As Steve Vai call it the "ultrazone" or something! I don't think this underestimate the thing, even a beginner can go in trance and feel the music deeper than he knew he could, can't he?
the same guy who really practice! he really spent some time practicing!! if someone uses the hacks and PRACTICE them really practice, them they're usefull
I've been a member of SBL for about half a year now and I've improved my playing a ton. Those "tips", "hacks", and "one scale to master the fretboard" were pivotal to getting me on the right track and realizing that I wanted to improve my playing before I became a member. The "beast mode" videos exposed me to phrasing and fills I had never heard before. I'm not a professional musician, I've been mostly a bedroom player for two decades. I have a job and a wife and friends and chores and other hobbies that all compete for my time. I love Janek, his music, and his videos. I've gotten some great "tips" from his videos, including this one, but I feel like the tone of this video is a bit out of touch with a huge number of players who want to get better but can't dedicate hours of practice each day to "put in the work". I'm not trying to find shortcuts or tricks when I go to SBL. I'm trying to find a laser focused thing to work on that will improve my playing or my music theory knowledge that I can work on for 30 minutes a day, and I can't even make time for 30 minutes some days. So far it's working. If after this pandemic I'm able to join a band, sure I'll start putting in more hours. I love both Scott and Janek and will continue to watch and support both, but the intention of this video feels a bit off to me as someone who's not a professional musician. Posting it on the same day as the SBL Flea beast mode video comes off as petty. I feel like I'm watching a season of Cobra Kai where they play bass instead of do Karate.
Awesome book, I love it! Also all your books are great and have a ton of fantastic information. When I'm feeling uninspired I can open up one of your books and find something musical (the most important thing) to work on. Thanks Janek
The fun fact, is that actually if you put Janek and Scott to talk about learning and playing bass both have very similar ALMOST the same key common foundations on how to be good (and they are both amazing teachers and musicians). The tricky thing here is to get caught in the marketing shenaningans of what most of the clickbaity population gets into. Scott's Academy is awesome is a farcry from what he puts in youtube. Also, the first course you usually do when you join SBL is 100% focused on how to practice, what is practice, how there are no shortcuts and everything. People/HUMANS in general WANT shortcuts, and that's the real clickbait.
I really loved this book. The pentatonic inversions really brought an open door for me to improvise . Thanks Janek . Look forward to buy more of your products .
Hey man, you’re my hero. I came across a vid awhile back of you doing “Warmup 2” from that book and I got hooked on what you do, how you play and put things together. I have purchased this particular book from your store, very awesome, I’m working through it now and it’s a reliable hand up. Thanks very much!
I appreciate you, your dedication and your knowledge as well as the way you present it. Your channel is gold. Taking veiled shots at SBL? Sure, there is a ton of fluff there and a ton of purely entertainment type content. BUT!!! There is also a wealth of great educational content, interviews, etc... There is a ton to be learned there. Sure, it isn't for everyone, but who is? SBL has definitely mastered the "clicks" game and the "headline" game, but it's probably how it became so popular. Good for Scott. He's done really well and he seems to be passionate and sincere in his love for our fine instrument.
Well i have seen many musicians go beast Mode, its a way of saying when they play beyond whats known, with all Heart and knowledge, It is beast Mode, check Alain Pérez and you Will see what beast Mode is, maybe you dont like the term, but is actually a real thing....music is not just theory and practice, It has a spiritual side in wich each musician expres his self throw music
Tips, tricks, hacks, shortcuts is just a way to describe advice or guide, so in a way this video is also full of tips and tricks, also same goes for 'beast mode' just an expression to refer to amazing musical performence. I dont see a problem in calling something this or that way, in the end seems like a same thing. Anyway, great video.
seems like the same, but there's a culture behind this, a culture of shortcuts, easy ways, fast results that feeds all this mediocrity we've been seeing for some time. Not everybody, I know and I get your point!
The truth of being good at anything is putting the time and work. I only just realized this recently and last night I actually changed my setup from video games focused to my piano and study space. Thanks for reminding me the good things don't come easy.
Hey @janekgwizdala good to hear you are back... been missing your insights and dare I say ‘tips’. Currently working my way very slowly through the sight reading book and really enjoying it.
if you wouldn't mind could you share some tips on how to get ready for a difficult long (4 hours kinda) gig, with new material and new band members, how to keep your nerves in check and such. cheers have a good one.
If the guitarist wants to hear more 16th note patterns from you for no reason, it's time to get a new guitarist. Always question the request from a musical standpoint before complying.
@@janekgwizdala In his defense my guitarist wasn't a jerk about wanting 16th note patterns. He wrote the song and is the band MD. When he sang it to me, it made sense. This is a clear case of "needing it and not having it" and I want to go over to "having it and not needing it". If you know what I mean. Thanks.
I love hearing these in context with chords behind it. Do you suggest just playing some basic chords in ableton to run through all 12 keys? That goes for all your books and exercises.
Hi, after this post I will probably get my head bitten off, but since you asked for feedback, here it is (ONLY my point of view). Janek you're an amazing musician and I love hearing you play (except the parts you sing over the bass), I loved almost every video of the vlog until half 2019, then I quit, because honestly I don't understand what you explain (my fault, I'm too noob) and honestly I got lost in videos far too long. On the other side on SBL(I'm a member) I found plenty of contents and motivation to practice (that is the mantra there), in a more comfortable way to do, at least for my lifestyle. Photography is my job, not music, but even there a concept is true, all the theory and practice that can be teached won't help to interest people if you are boring. So if a video of "beast mode" helps to let people fascinated or interested on the matter I think it's not bad, obviously IMHO, hope not to be offensive, have a nice weekend.
I would agree. I am a member at SBL too. Tons of info for the new player- and really, anyone who wants to improve. Some of the greatest players out there are teaching on the site. Janek is one of the greats as well! He's just a little over my head at this point!
Mate! You’re a huge inspiration. When you came to São Paulo last I was there on both days seeing you tear the paint of the walls and do the amazing accompanied live looping performances. The content you post, from the vlogs, podcasts, chordal harmony, etc (it’s so much stuff), always got me motivated to play my ass off, because you’re just a crazy instructor, professional & of course musician and player - no need to play any game 😉. Keep it going & up, cheers.
Thanks very much for sharing this video, Janek! I purchased the pentatonics guide and am taking my time going through it. No sense in rushing, and this video sets a good tone for that - to really sit with the sounds to become comfortable. I really appreciated hearing the differences against the different chords. Thanks again for your insights & content - please keep it coming!
That Churchill's "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat" learning mode is unpopular and that's somehow good. The world cannot simply support that many professional musicians :D Thanks for the great work, as usual.
Janek - great video and thank you. I own Pentatonics, All The Good Stuff and All The Better Stuff - I have worked on Pentatonics and your video makes me want to get right back at it. Your playing a specific exercise and giving insight and commentary is super helpful, and hopefully it helps get others to check out this great book. Now I need to dig into All the Good Stuff and All the Better Stuff - any similarly structured videos would be great (I try to find examples in your older youtube videos). Btw, what kind of bass and strap? Really nice. Best - Tom
great video. cant help but to think how those great players make it look so easy. Gary willis has killed it too with pentatonics over his career. You are in the same vein of greatness bro!!
I appreciate your kind words, and am a huge fan of Gary's, and very lucky to call him a friend. And yes, lots of pentatonic language in his playing for sure. But the most amazing element of his playing to me, is the touch he displays when playing a melody. He is by far, one of the most dynamic musicians (not just bass players) I have ever heard. Especially the melody on "Hymn" from his No Sweat album: ruclips.net/video/VWQyFFm-Tdg/видео.html
Since I started working with your books, I'm now putting in the work of playing whatever idea I come across in all 12 keys. That alone was a huge step for me. I've gone through the Pentatonic book twice, so I think I have a handle on what needs to happen there. Where can we go for discussion on your "Practice to Performance" material?
Hey Janek - any exercises on the inverse of this idea? E.g Cm groove but using different pentatonic scales to get the different sounds you're exploring here.
You’re an amazing musician and educator Janek (love this channel) but I’m surprised to see you going after Scott. He’s doing great things bringing curious young people into bass playing; allowing them to discover people like yourself a little later. Sad to see this.
I understand why you might feel this way. I don’t think Janek is going after Scott but he is saying that he doesn’t agree with some ideas that Scott happens to endorse in some of his own teaching material. All antagonism is no good but I think a variety of opinions on the topic makes for a better overall learning experience.
Thank you Janek. I struggle greatly from a lack of time to practice, well as much as I would ideally like. But, here in less than 10 minutes you've explained how to approach a phrase and dig deep into it. And what's more, I can take this away to inform my practice routine, however constrained it might be. Great new format as well. It's a point well-made about doing the work and slowly building, and not chasing short-cuts.
thanks for this video Janek, there really isn’t enough content online telling people that you just have to do the work and put the time in and that if you Rely on tips and tricks and you’ll sound like a hack 😂
May I give an opinion on this: I do belivieve there are tips: pratice slowly, use a metronome, use your ears, come up with your own exercises, play in all keys... maybe is a language barrier (I'm portuguese) but those are tips in my understanding. Musicians go beast mode when they forget everything and go all in into the music and do tasty stuff (with great feel in my opinion) Cheers, love your content and love your music
I didn’t see any digs at Scott 🤷🏾♂️ but that’s just me. Both Janek and Scott have great content delivered in different ways but I fully 100 percent agree with Janek here. There are no tips tricks or hacks. Those are marketing buzz words that I am guilty of using myself but anyone, known or unknown will tell you that getting better at any instrument; anyTHING means stepping away from the box, gadgets and looking for shortcuts and just doing the work like so many people have done before.
Beast mode is just the result of doing anything really well in my opinion. Having said that... by doing the hard work with discipline and a good plan of work you might get there in the long run and then go beast mode with whatever you mastered
Appreciate the kinds words. Definitely something I'm passionate about. And in this digital day and age, there's really no getting around having great looking content. It's also a fun skill set to learn besides music!
" Very Good Job on ( vdc ) Istructional Bass Player. . .. Great Sounds and Touch Filling on Bass Mood. .. Thank so Much Mr. Gwizdala for Your Work's on Music Concept .. Nice One ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏👋
I think this is one of the best videos you have ever done so far. I found it to be incredibly motivating to pick up my bass and start with a simple idea and extend it according to my ears. My fingers probably can’t keep up, but hey, that’s part of the journey I guess :)
@@janekgwizdala Got a question regarding ear ! Is there any book in your archive relating to ear training ? Like interval identification, chord& progression identification.
Hey Janek, how do you balance hard work and productivity with creative burnout? I find myself burning out at the end of most big projects (I write library tracks) and have a hard time getting back to that fresh, inspired state to keep going.
It's a great topic, and one I'm always tinkering with in my own process. I'm very fortunate that what I do creatively (essentially just playing bass) is something I feel there aren't enough hours in the day for. So I'm looking at it like this: I don't want to die and have sucked. This is perhaps an extreme view of the situation, and I'm sure it's not the same for everyone, and definitely isn't the right approach for everyone. And it's not without its downfalls. There are definitely times of depression when I feel like I'm not making the progress I want. So I think the balance comes with remembering I'm still a human being, with real-life needs outside of music. As hard as I work on music still (4-6hrs a day of practice), there are just so many other important things in my life that need my attention. My wife, my pets, cooking, playing tennis, and simply chilling out. There's kind of no better feeling than crashing onto the couch to relax after feeling like I've really put in the work with my instrument. I would suggest being away of a few of important things no matter what your goals/work load are: 1) There are way more hours in the day than you give it credit for. Work on efficiency of time use, and be brutally honest with yourself about how you're spending your day. 2) whatever it is you're working on, do it consistently. An hour a day for 20 days in a row, is far more productive than 5 hours, then 6 days of nothing, then another 6 hours and so on... 3) Don't eve force the issue. If I sit down to play and am just not feeling it at all, the best thing I can do for myself is put the bass away and do something completely different. 4) when it comes to getting back to that fresh state, and being motivated to practice, there's one thing that does it for me every time without fail. Listening. Always be listening to things that inspire and challenge you. There is always something I don't quite understand, or maybe something I love that I've listened to a 1000 times, but never really taken the time to work out what it is. As long as you're always listening, I'm almost certain you'll never run out of things to inspire you to practice.
@@janekgwizdala I love your insight on the matter, and its great to read what your approach is, so thank you for sharing! I think sometimes I struggle with (probably not the only one) unrealistic productivity expectations... you know, we live in the world of social media where everyone is an overachiever and sometimes I feel like I'm just not doing enough and I guess that contributes to the burnout sometimes. Anyways, thank you for the inspiration and for always taking the time to respond! A
@@alobassmann Very important not to care what anyone else thinks. Do what you do because it makes you happy, not because it feeds the algorithm of social media or the expectations of others.
Ha! I was just commenting about Adam in the most recent pinned comment on this thread. I do think he is one of the best "player's of the game" in our community. And I mean that with much respect, not as a diss at all. I've actually talked to him about it on the phone, and of course a little in our interview here on RUclips. I just felt the need to start solidifying ideas before shooting videos, and taking notes about what I want to talk about before hitting the red button. I think that's better for me to cut the edit time down, and way better for the viewer to get a concise presentation of a topic. I definitely took some "look" ideas with the video from my buddy Hondo Felder: ruclips.net/channel/UCYtQrlThZHqGZKG9FCydd8w And my good friend and drummer Benno Sattler over in Germany is a bit of a camera guru, and hooked me up with some new settings for my rig: ruclips.net/user/steelyben Definitely recommend giving those two cats a watch and a follow if you get a minute.
"Beast Mode" is just a phrase... of course you have to put in the work but every musician knows sometimes their playing just comes together and really works.. im sure the source is from a lot of practice but sometimes its more than that... like a Spiritual Thing, from the SOUL or maybe "Beast Mode" Shouldn't we strive to get beyond the theory?
Would love to see a video on chords, how they relate to reach other, and chord progressions. I have you Chordal Harmony but can't seem to find the corresponding videos for the books. I.e. the links in the books don't work 😝
A quick email to our online store will get you a link to the videos. We did change our platform not that long ago, and emailed our customers letting them know they would need a new link for the digital material. We're only an email away if ever you have any questions, so please be in touch through the website and someone will take care of you: janekgwizdala.com/
@@darkgladiator27 Same here. I bought SBL "way" back when it first came out. I don't watch the free materials much anymore... but the lesson library of people like Phil Mann and Todd Johnson are amazing.
I don’t think that « going beast mode » is a clickbait tittle, we can all agree that Cory Henry solo on lingus was about him going beast mode and that very particular solo is way different that the ones he took on the other concert rendition of it. So yeah I believe that musicians can go beast mode, you can also call it the “Flow” state if you want !
Not sure about volume 2, I'm still working on the vocabulary in Vol 1! But there are some exciting (for me at least) book projects coming this year. Some things that are very near and dear to my heart and to my process. Appreciate the support, and will make some book announcements very soon. 👍
I really think you can use ANYTHING as long as it feels good to you. One of the musicians I reference in this video, and one of my favorite bass players ever, is Meshell N'Degeocello. i think I learnt more about time, sound, and bass specific groove concepts from jamming along to her records, than pretty much anything else. I would recommend listening to, learning the bass lines of, and jamming along for hours with her albums "Peace Beyond Passion" and "Plantation Lullabies". And don't forget, the Pentatonics book i reference in this video, also comes with over 50 play along tracks minus bass. Good luck, and happy practicing!
@@janekgwizdala Thank you so much for responding quickly to my comment! I'll look into Meshell N'Degeocello's albums! how do you deal with practice frustrations? one thing I've been struggling with is having access to so many great learning contents (such as yours!) that I feel paralyzed, I don't really know where to start and what should I focus on.
The honest content that the internet so badly needs, thank you as always! A suggestion for another video someday: how to tastefully "pick your moment" for a fill/run in a song. P.S. Will the Two Bass Hit podcast be returning anytime soon?
Appreciate the kind words, and great idea for a topic. Not sure about two bass hit. We love doing it, but things have been super crazy busy around here lately. I don't doubt that it's coming back, I just can't be sure when exactly.
Nice 'click bait' title 😆 Scott isn't using RUclips as an educational tool, his website is where you put the work in and the courses there are amazing. I like you and your content Janek but this video comes across as bitterness.
@@ReIigionlsForIdiots the premise that the use of the term beast mode is somehow detracting from the skill and commitment of these great musicians? That the person he's quoting as using the term is negative to the bass community because not every video he produces is solely educational? 'Gasp'.
@@owenspence agree with you. Do not understand this thing "against" SBL. Lots of reasons to go to SBL and lots of reasons to go to JGBS. Let people make their choice... Do not understand why Janek is doing this. Missing the practice room, missing the 2bass hits... Seems is "burn unit only" time. Dommage aka it's a pity 🤔
I don´t think it´s fair and inherently right to go in this form of bashing 2 different approaches to bass/music education channels. SBL and your channel just chose different forms to draw attention. Beast mode surely is catchy and shortens the process of playing to mere virtuosity but don´t try to find an easy answer on how to get there on SBL ... The idea behind the veil and the process in regards to content is basically the same. But to sell practice books one has to offset himself from the co-competitor ;-) ...btw i bought 3 books from your shop in the past - just fyi
I have to respectfully disagree. There most certainly are tips, hacks, tricks and shortcuts in any discipline, whether it be Algebra, Carpentry, Foreign language or Music. What we might agree on is that none of these “hacks” are enough in and of themselves to make one “great” at anything. At the same time, I think you should keep speaking and teaching your truth as you see it. There are a few well-known, rather outspoken music educators out there and I would count you among their number. There is nothing wrong with being opinionated and having strong ideas about what you do and don’t believe in. That’s what, ideally, makes society beautiful.
you are correct, there are tricks and hacks for so many disciplines but the problem is they only work for specific situations ("you can find the square of a polynomial with this trick only if this criteria is met" or you can study a little more and understand how a polynomial really works and solve it without tricks) i spent so many years trying to find tricks and hacks to improve my playing and i found myself in situation where "i know that but only in C" or "this is a lick that only works over minor chords"... coming across Janeks method and mindset really changed everything for me, i had realized there is so much stuff about the instrument i still have to learn and how much work i havent put
There’s a difference between a tip/trick and pretending enough of these algorithm chasing videos will actually help you grow as a musicians or in any craft. It requires much more depth than a video cater designed for gaming the YT algorithm.
@@ReIigionlsForIdiots I think we’re essentially saying the same thing. People like Scott and people like Janek cater to different sides of the issue, clearly. I think the problem is this crusader mentality that we have to compete with and “vanquish” those who have a different approach and angle on whatever the issue is. There’s room for everyone. After all, it’s just music and most of us here are hobbyists. Variety is the spice of life.
@@ReIigionlsForIdiots the beast mode videos scott produces aren't really meant to be educational, his website is where that takes place. He has a massive course library, a large world class team of educators and over 25000 subscribers so I think he's doing more than most for bass education.
I've got the book digitally and I'm really enjoying the content in it! I'd love for another vide ot touch up on another concept! Always appreciate these videos Janek!
I like Scott..I hate the insulting and juvenile term " Beast Mode". "The TIME __-fill in the blank-____ went Beast Mode ? REALLY? When are major musicians NOT in alleged "Beast Mode"? Btw...I don't regard artists as "beasts". Thanks for this Janek...overdue imo.
@@Minormayor22 " King", maybe you can tell me when artists like Jaco, McBride and Willis et al. aren't in "beast mode" when they are performing.. Do you believe that these "beast mode" moments are rare or just isolated examples of a continued and demonstrated brilliance?
@@BAZZMAN800 i think beast Mode on those players you name is practically alwais on, like Alain Pérez, alwais beast Mode on, but is not only in regard of whats played, but how, the intensity, i Hope i cleared what i mean, i dont know if you agree
I hate the term ''beast mode'' anyway...

;-) that would be hilarious
Having a dig at Scott’s bass lessons I see
Scott Devine heard the first minute of this and threw his PC out the window.
i hope so XD
This comment is gold
the same guy who really practice! he really spent some time practicing!! if someone uses the hacks and PRACTICE them really practice, them they're usefull
Had to be said 🌞👍 I've gotten more out of Janeks Pentatonic book than a million of that blokes 'educational hack' videos
@Julian I really don´t think so...
You are one of the best of aur time .!
Keep teaching as every day.
Just ordered it. Can’t wait to get started!
I've been a member of SBL for about half a year now and I've improved my playing a ton. Those "tips", "hacks", and "one scale to master the fretboard" were pivotal to getting me on the right track and realizing that I wanted to improve my playing before I became a member. The "beast mode" videos exposed me to phrasing and fills I had never heard before. I'm not a professional musician, I've been mostly a bedroom player for two decades. I have a job and a wife and friends and chores and other hobbies that all compete for my time. I love Janek, his music, and his videos. I've gotten some great "tips" from his videos, including this one, but I feel like the tone of this video is a bit out of touch with a huge number of players who want to get better but can't dedicate hours of practice each day to "put in the work". I'm not trying to find shortcuts or tricks when I go to SBL. I'm trying to find a laser focused thing to work on that will improve my playing or my music theory knowledge that I can work on for 30 minutes a day, and I can't even make time for 30 minutes some days. So far it's working. If after this pandemic I'm able to join a band, sure I'll start putting in more hours. I love both Scott and Janek and will continue to watch and support both, but the intention of this video feels a bit off to me as someone who's not a professional musician. Posting it on the same day as the SBL Flea beast mode video comes off as petty. I feel like I'm watching a season of Cobra Kai where they play bass instead of do Karate.
Awesome book, I love it! Also all your books are great and have a ton of fantastic information. When I'm feeling uninspired I can open up one of your books and find something musical (the most important thing) to work on. Thanks Janek
The fun fact, is that actually if you put Janek and Scott to talk about learning and playing bass both have very similar ALMOST the same key common foundations on how to be good (and they are both amazing teachers and musicians). The tricky thing here is to get caught in the marketing shenaningans of what most of the clickbaity population gets into.
Scott's Academy is awesome is a farcry from what he puts in youtube.
Also, the first course you usually do when you join SBL is 100% focused on how to practice, what is practice, how there are no shortcuts and everything.
People/HUMANS in general WANT shortcuts, and that's the real clickbait.
Hey Janek, how are you ? I hope you are good. I would like to know what do you use to shoot your videos. Thanks for your time.
Working away on some of the studio content the last two months. Really appreciate your teaching style and inspiration to do the work.
I really loved this book. The pentatonic inversions really brought an open door for me to improvise . Thanks Janek . Look forward to buy more of your products .
Hey man, you’re my hero. I came across a vid awhile back of you doing “Warmup 2” from that book and I got hooked on what you do, how you play and put things together. I have purchased this particular book from your store, very awesome, I’m working through it now and it’s a reliable hand up. Thanks very much!
I appreciate you, your dedication and your knowledge as well as the way you present it. Your channel is gold. Taking veiled shots at SBL? Sure, there is a ton of fluff there and a ton of purely entertainment type content. BUT!!! There is also a wealth of great educational content, interviews, etc... There is a ton to be learned there. Sure, it isn't for everyone, but who is? SBL has definitely mastered the "clicks" game and the "headline" game, but it's probably how it became so popular. Good for Scott. He's done really well and he seems to be passionate and sincere in his love for our fine instrument.
Well i have seen many musicians go beast Mode, its a way of saying when they play beyond whats known, with all Heart and knowledge, It is beast Mode, check Alain Pérez and you Will see what beast Mode is, maybe you dont like the term, but is actually a real thing....music is not just theory and practice, It has a spiritual side in wich each musician expres his self throw music
Most of us know there's no such thing scotts videos are still entertaining and useful anyway.
why dropping each other as fellow musicians 😭😭...
Don't Be Stupid Love Scott Channel ☺️...
Tips, tricks, hacks, shortcuts is just a way to describe advice or guide, so in a way this video is also full of tips and tricks, also same goes for 'beast mode' just an expression to refer to amazing musical performence. I dont see a problem in calling something this or that way, in the end seems like a same thing. Anyway, great video.
really well said
seems like the same, but there's a culture behind this, a culture of shortcuts, easy ways, fast results that feeds all this mediocrity we've been seeing for some time. Not everybody, I know and I get your point!
The truth of being good at anything is putting the time and work. I only just realized this recently and last night I actually changed my setup from video games focused to my piano and study space. Thanks for reminding me the good things don't come easy.
Hey @janekgwizdala good to hear you are back... been missing your insights and dare I say ‘tips’. Currently working my way very slowly through the sight reading book and really enjoying it.
if you wouldn't mind could you share some tips on how to get ready for a difficult long (4 hours kinda) gig, with new material and new band members, how to keep your nerves in check and such. cheers have a good one.
Hi,
could you also show something from your chops builder?
The guitarist in my band wants to hear more 16th note patterns from me.
Thanks.
If the guitarist wants to hear more 16th note patterns from you for no reason, it's time to get a new guitarist.
Always question the request from a musical standpoint before complying.
@@janekgwizdala
In his defense my guitarist wasn't a jerk about wanting 16th note patterns.
He wrote the song and is the band MD.
When he sang it to me, it made sense.
This is a clear case of "needing it and not having it" and I want to go over to "having it and not needing it". If you know what I mean.
Thanks.
Always good to see you Janek
I love hearing these in context with chords behind it. Do you suggest just playing some basic chords in ableton to run through all 12 keys? That goes for all your books and exercises.
Hi, after this post I will probably get my head bitten off, but since you asked for feedback, here it is (ONLY my point of view). Janek you're an amazing musician and I love hearing you play (except the parts you sing over the bass), I loved almost every video of the vlog until half 2019, then I quit, because honestly I don't understand what you explain (my fault, I'm too noob) and honestly I got lost in videos far too long. On the other side on SBL(I'm a member) I found plenty of contents and motivation to practice (that is the mantra there), in a more comfortable way to do, at least for my lifestyle. Photography is my job, not music, but even there a concept is true, all the theory and practice that can be teached won't help to interest people if you are boring. So if a video of "beast mode" helps to let people fascinated or interested on the matter I think it's not bad, obviously IMHO, hope not to be offensive, have a nice weekend.
I would agree. I am a member at SBL too. Tons of info for the new player- and really, anyone who wants to improve. Some of the greatest players out there are teaching on the site. Janek is one of the greats as well! He's just a little over my head at this point!
Mate!
You’re a huge inspiration. When you came to São Paulo last I was there on both days seeing you tear the paint of the walls and do the amazing accompanied live looping performances.
The content you post, from the vlogs, podcasts, chordal harmony, etc (it’s so much stuff), always got me motivated to play my ass off, because you’re just a crazy instructor, professional & of course musician and player - no need to play any game 😉.
Keep it going & up, cheers.
Thanks very much for sharing this video, Janek! I purchased the pentatonics guide and am taking my time going through it. No sense in rushing, and this video sets a good tone for that - to really sit with the sounds to become comfortable. I really appreciated hearing the differences against the different chords. Thanks again for your insights & content - please keep it coming!
Larry, great to hear! Thanks for picking up the book, and I look forward to hearing more about your journey with harmony, melody, and music!
You bass sound in this video is amazing. Good job with EQ... super loud and punchy!!
Very resourceful 👊🏿♥️
That Churchill's "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat" learning mode is unpopular and that's somehow good. The world cannot simply support that many professional musicians :D Thanks for the great work, as usual.
Nice Janek I really enjoyed this video! Thanks man!
Inspiring like always Janek!
Janek - great video and thank you. I own Pentatonics, All The Good Stuff and All The Better Stuff - I have worked on Pentatonics and your video makes me want to get right back at it. Your playing a specific exercise and giving insight and commentary is super helpful, and hopefully it helps get others to check out this great book. Now I need to dig into All the Good Stuff and All the Better Stuff - any similarly structured videos would be great (I try to find examples in your older youtube videos). Btw, what kind of bass and strap? Really nice. Best - Tom
great video. cant help but to think how those great players make it look so easy. Gary willis has killed it too with pentatonics over his career. You are in the same vein of greatness bro!!
I appreciate your kind words, and am a huge fan of Gary's, and very lucky to call him a friend. And yes, lots of pentatonic language in his playing for sure. But the most amazing element of his playing to me, is the touch he displays when playing a melody. He is by far, one of the most dynamic musicians (not just bass players) I have ever heard. Especially the melody on "Hymn" from his No Sweat album: ruclips.net/video/VWQyFFm-Tdg/видео.html
Very nice line.
I know you'va talked about her quite a lot of times, but I'd love to see an entire video dedicated to Meshell.
Great lesson, love the content
very cool. thank you Janek.
hearing your variations and the different nuances (all using the same '5' notes) is helpful.
I highly recommend Janek's book "My Ten Year Love Affair With Scott Devine". Harrowing. Especially the $4.99 times he goes beast mode.
That first song!
Would love to know what pickup combo you used with Henrik's bass here. It's a really gentle roundwould sound that I dig!
Since I started working with your books, I'm now putting in the work of playing whatever idea I come across in all 12 keys. That alone was a huge step for me. I've gone through the Pentatonic book twice, so I think I have a handle on what needs to happen there. Where can we go for discussion on your "Practice to Performance" material?
Hey Janek - any exercises on the inverse of this idea? E.g Cm groove but using different pentatonic scales to get the different sounds you're exploring here.
Love the tone you’re getting here Janek, sounds incredible
Thank you for this great content. Focus + Practice = Beast Mo...er.... Growing Skills and Playing Ability. :)
You’re an amazing musician and educator Janek (love this channel) but I’m surprised to see you going after Scott. He’s doing great things bringing curious young people into bass playing; allowing them to discover people like yourself a little later. Sad to see this.
You're reading way too much into this. Doubt Janek would have a go at anyone.
I understand why you might feel this way. I don’t think Janek is going after Scott but he is saying that he doesn’t agree with some ideas that Scott happens to endorse in some of his own teaching material. All antagonism is no good but I think a variety of opinions on the topic makes for a better overall learning experience.
@@半人半獣 Absolutely.
@@st3ngah I guess you missed the Twitch stream where Janek did that then.
Found Scott’s alt...
I love your tone in this video, Janek!
Great lesson too, but I’m probably going to steal your sweater look from this video.
Thank you Janek. I struggle greatly from a lack of time to practice, well as much as I would ideally like. But, here in less than 10 minutes you've explained how to approach a phrase and dig deep into it. And what's more, I can take this away to inform my practice routine, however constrained it might be. Great new format as well. It's a point well-made about doing the work and slowly building, and not chasing short-cuts.
thanks for this video Janek, there really isn’t enough content online telling people that you just have to do the work and put the time in and that if you Rely on tips and tricks and you’ll sound like a hack 😂
May I give an opinion on this:
I do belivieve there are tips: pratice slowly, use a metronome, use your ears, come up with your own exercises, play in all keys... maybe is a language barrier (I'm portuguese) but those are tips in my understanding.
Musicians go beast mode when they forget everything and go all in into the music and do tasty stuff (with great feel in my opinion)
Cheers, love your content and love your music
Dear janek thanks for giving us thinking paths.
I didn’t see any digs at Scott 🤷🏾♂️ but that’s just me. Both Janek and Scott have great content delivered in different ways but I fully 100 percent agree with Janek here. There are no tips tricks or hacks. Those are marketing buzz words that I am guilty of using myself but anyone, known or unknown will tell you that getting better at any instrument; anyTHING means stepping away from the box, gadgets and looking for shortcuts and just doing the work like so many people have done before.
Beast mode is just the result of doing anything really well in my opinion. Having said that... by doing the hard work with discipline and a good plan of work you might get there in the long run and then go beast mode with whatever you mastered
Quality content and great looking vid. Increasingly rare these days. Time for me to go practice...lol
I'm only stealing your look... Date night sweater and all. 🤣
Janek is the man. Amazing musician, business savvy, and just plain cool. A real inspiration.
Janek your AV setup is incredible!!
Appreciate the kinds words. Definitely something I'm passionate about. And in this digital day and age, there's really no getting around having great looking content. It's also a fun skill set to learn besides music!
" Very Good Job on ( vdc ) Istructional Bass Player. . .. Great Sounds and Touch Filling on Bass Mood. .. Thank so Much Mr. Gwizdala for Your Work's on Music Concept .. Nice One ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏👋
I think this is one of the best videos you have ever done so far. I found it to be incredibly motivating to pick up my bass and start with a simple idea and extend it according to my ears. My fingers probably can’t keep up, but hey, that’s part of the journey I guess :)
You are 100% right! That is the entire journey right there. Ears and fingers connecting, and fluency improving one day at a time.
@@janekgwizdala Got a question regarding ear ! Is there any book in your archive relating to ear training ? Like interval identification, chord& progression identification.
Hey Janek, how do you balance hard work and productivity with creative burnout? I find myself burning out at the end of most big projects (I write library tracks) and have a hard time getting back to that fresh, inspired state to keep going.
It's a great topic, and one I'm always tinkering with in my own process. I'm very fortunate that what I do creatively (essentially just playing bass) is something I feel there aren't enough hours in the day for. So I'm looking at it like this: I don't want to die and have sucked. This is perhaps an extreme view of the situation, and I'm sure it's not the same for everyone, and definitely isn't the right approach for everyone. And it's not without its downfalls. There are definitely times of depression when I feel like I'm not making the progress I want. So I think the balance comes with remembering I'm still a human being, with real-life needs outside of music. As hard as I work on music still (4-6hrs a day of practice), there are just so many other important things in my life that need my attention. My wife, my pets, cooking, playing tennis, and simply chilling out. There's kind of no better feeling than crashing onto the couch to relax after feeling like I've really put in the work with my instrument.
I would suggest being away of a few of important things no matter what your goals/work load are:
1) There are way more hours in the day than you give it credit for. Work on efficiency of time use, and be brutally honest with yourself about how you're spending your day.
2) whatever it is you're working on, do it consistently. An hour a day for 20 days in a row, is far more productive than 5 hours, then 6 days of nothing, then another 6 hours and so on...
3) Don't eve force the issue. If I sit down to play and am just not feeling it at all, the best thing I can do for myself is put the bass away and do something completely different.
4) when it comes to getting back to that fresh state, and being motivated to practice, there's one thing that does it for me every time without fail. Listening. Always be listening to things that inspire and challenge you. There is always something I don't quite understand, or maybe something I love that I've listened to a 1000 times, but never really taken the time to work out what it is. As long as you're always listening, I'm almost certain you'll never run out of things to inspire you to practice.
@@janekgwizdala I love your insight on the matter, and its great to read what your approach is, so thank you for sharing! I think sometimes I struggle with (probably not the only one) unrealistic productivity expectations... you know, we live in the world of social media where everyone is an overachiever and sometimes I feel like I'm just not doing enough and I guess that contributes to the burnout sometimes.
Anyways, thank you for the inspiration and for always taking the time to respond!

@@alobassmann Very important not to care what anyone else thinks. Do what you do because it makes you happy, not because it feeds the algorithm of social media or the expectations of others.
A wonderful groove and exercise - right in the pocket. Many thanks Janek.🙏
Someone's been transcribing Adam Neely videos. Great job
Ha! I was just commenting about Adam in the most recent pinned comment on this thread. I do think he is one of the best "player's of the game" in our community. And I mean that with much respect, not as a diss at all. I've actually talked to him about it on the phone, and of course a little in our interview here on RUclips. I just felt the need to start solidifying ideas before shooting videos, and taking notes about what I want to talk about before hitting the red button. I think that's better for me to cut the edit time down, and way better for the viewer to get a concise presentation of a topic.
I definitely took some "look" ideas with the video from my buddy Hondo Felder: ruclips.net/channel/UCYtQrlThZHqGZKG9FCydd8w
And my good friend and drummer Benno Sattler over in Germany is a bit of a camera guru, and hooked me up with some new settings for my rig: ruclips.net/user/steelyben
Definitely recommend giving those two cats a watch and a follow if you get a minute.

Awesome mate..
"Beast Mode" is just a phrase... of course you have to put in the work but every musician knows sometimes their playing just comes together and really works.. im sure the source is from a lot of practice but sometimes its more than that... like a Spiritual Thing, from the SOUL or maybe "Beast Mode"
Shouldn't we strive to get beyond the theory?
Thank you so much for this content you put up! These kind of exercises are Inspiring, helpful and so fun!
Would love to see a video on chords, how they relate to reach other, and chord progressions. I have you Chordal Harmony but can't seem to find the corresponding videos for the books. I.e. the links in the books don't work 😝
A quick email to our online store will get you a link to the videos. We did change our platform not that long ago, and emailed our customers letting them know they would need a new link for the digital material. We're only an email away if ever you have any questions, so please be in touch through the website and someone will take care of you: janekgwizdala.com/
@@janekgwizdala Thank you for the help! You're truly an inspiration that has made me a better player!
I literally got a notification from Scott as I started watching this
Why are you watching a half assed algorithm chaser instead of someone who can actually play at the top
of his instrument with anyone in the world?
@@ReIigionlsForIdiots I watch both and I'm a paying customer at Scott's website
@@darkgladiator27 Same here. I bought SBL "way" back when it first came out. I don't watch the free materials much anymore... but the lesson library of people like Phil Mann and Todd Johnson are amazing.
@@edburdo I'm only watching Phil Mann's theory lessons at the moment. The guy is very clear
Enjoyed this so much Janek, this is why you’re one of my favorite musicians! Keep on keeping it real 👌🏻
I don’t think that « going beast mode » is a clickbait tittle, we can all agree that Cory Henry solo on lingus was about him going beast mode and that very particular solo is way different that the ones he took on the other concert rendition of it. So yeah I believe that musicians can go beast mode, you can also call it the “Flow” state if you want !
Hi Janek, so when will BPG to Pentatonic Vol. 2 be out?
Not sure about volume 2, I'm still working on the vocabulary in Vol 1! But there are some exciting (for me at least) book projects coming this year. Some things that are very near and dear to my heart and to my process. Appreciate the support, and will make some book announcements very soon. 👍
Does It feel like you would like to have Scottsbasslessons success?
Word.
The first minute of this video alone is solid gold. Thank you Janek!
Super inspiring, mind-opening, and helpful video, mate. Thank you! Will pass along to others.
Hi Janek! love your content and books! what do you recommend for backing music to practice Bass with?
I really think you can use ANYTHING as long as it feels good to you. One of the musicians I reference in this video, and one of my favorite bass players ever, is Meshell N'Degeocello. i think I learnt more about time, sound, and bass specific groove concepts from jamming along to her records, than pretty much anything else. I would recommend listening to, learning the bass lines of, and jamming along for hours with her albums "Peace Beyond Passion" and "Plantation Lullabies". And don't forget, the Pentatonics book i reference in this video, also comes with over 50 play along tracks minus bass. Good luck, and happy practicing!
@@janekgwizdala Thank you so much for responding quickly to my comment! I'll look into Meshell N'Degeocello's albums!
how do you deal with practice frustrations? one thing I've been struggling with is having access to so many great learning contents (such as yours!) that I feel paralyzed, I don't really know where to start and what should I focus on.
Oh wait...I saw the dig 😂🤷🏾♂️ oh well, yay internet. Peace. Great video @janek
I like how calm and how well and slow you share your idea, learnt alot!
The honest content that the internet so badly needs, thank you as always!
A suggestion for another video someday: how to tastefully "pick your moment" for a fill/run in a song.
P.S. Will the Two Bass Hit podcast be returning anytime soon?
Appreciate the kind words, and great idea for a topic. Not sure about two bass hit. We love doing it, but things have been super crazy busy around here lately. I don't doubt that it's coming back, I just can't be sure when exactly.
Did Janek just go "beast mode"?
Great content & very inspiring, cheers Janek!
This content is gold! I wanna go practice all of what you said. Thank you so much!
Nice 'click bait' title 😆 Scott isn't using RUclips as an educational tool, his website is where you put the work in and the courses there are amazing. I like you and your content Janek but this video comes across as bitterness.
If you think this title is click bait you don’t even understand the phrase.
Clickbait implies false info in advertising.
What about this is false?
@@ReIigionlsForIdiots the premise that the use of the term beast mode is somehow detracting from the skill and commitment of these great musicians? That the person he's quoting as using the term is negative to the bass community because not every video he produces is solely educational? 'Gasp'.
@@ReIigionlsForIdiots either way it was a joke, I think maybe you and Janek need to chill out. 🤔
@@owenspence agree with you. Do not understand this thing "against" SBL. Lots of reasons to go to SBL and lots of reasons to go to JGBS. Let people make their choice...
Do not understand why Janek is doing this. Missing the practice room, missing the 2bass hits... Seems is "burn unit only" time. Dommage aka it's a pity 🤔
if I buy your book do I get a chance of getting thousends of dollars worth of iconic rare vintage basses, sir?
Absolutely true. I totally agree with you.
The yt music community needs more of this. Thanks a lot Janek.
Hey Janek, what amp are you using there? Great stuff!
good stuff!
I don´t think it´s fair and inherently right to go in this form of bashing 2 different approaches to bass/music education channels. SBL and your channel just chose different forms to draw attention. Beast mode surely is catchy and shortens the process of playing to mere virtuosity but don´t try to find an easy answer on how to get there on SBL ...
The idea behind the veil and the process in regards to content is basically the same. But to sell practice books one has to offset himself from the co-competitor ;-)
...btw i bought 3 books from your shop in the past - just fyi
I have to respectfully disagree. There most certainly are tips, hacks, tricks and shortcuts in any discipline, whether it be Algebra, Carpentry, Foreign language or Music.
What we might agree on is that none of these “hacks” are enough in and of themselves to make one “great” at anything.
At the same time, I think you should keep speaking and teaching your truth as you see it.
There are a few well-known, rather outspoken music educators out there and I would count you among their number.
There is nothing wrong with being opinionated and having strong ideas about what you do and don’t believe in. That’s what, ideally, makes society beautiful.
you are correct, there are tricks and hacks for so many disciplines but the problem is they only work for specific situations ("you can find the square of a polynomial with this trick only if this criteria is met" or you can study a little more and understand how a polynomial really works and solve it without tricks) i spent so many years trying to find tricks and hacks to improve my playing and i found myself in situation where "i know that but only in C" or "this is a lick that only works over minor chords"... coming across Janeks method and mindset really changed everything for me, i had realized there is so much stuff about the instrument i still have to learn and how much work i havent put
There’s a difference between a tip/trick and pretending enough of these algorithm chasing videos will actually help you grow as a musicians or in any craft.
It requires much more depth than a video cater designed for gaming the YT algorithm.
@@ReIigionlsForIdiots I think we’re essentially saying the same thing.
People like Scott and people like Janek cater to different sides of the issue, clearly.
I think the problem is this crusader mentality that we have to compete with and “vanquish” those who have a different approach and angle on whatever the issue is.
There’s room for everyone. After all, it’s just music and most of us here are hobbyists. Variety is the spice of life.
@@ReIigionlsForIdiots the beast mode videos scott produces aren't really meant to be educational, his website is where that takes place. He has a massive course library, a large world class team of educators and over 25000 subscribers so I think he's doing more than most for bass education.
Thank you for being an honest source of inspiration. It means the world.
is that first minute literally just a direct shot at scott devine? ooooof
My thoughts exactly!! Shots fired! LOL
