HOW TO MAKE YOUR BASS LINES *GROOVE*
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- I used to spend a lot of my practice time focusing on technique and speed, which actually improved pretty fast, but my time and groove didn’t. And it wasn’t until I started paying more attention to dynamics and articulation that I really understood why.
In today’s new video Ian Allison and drummer Steve Goold explore some ideas and rhythm concepts that will take your groove playing to the next level. Learning to think like a drummer is super helpful when it comes to your relationship with rhythm, and it feels great too!
As always, see you in the shed…
Scott :)

My technique for groove was to play drums for 20 years before seriously picking up the bass.
Same here-45 years on drums, coming up on 4 years with the bass... love the bass!
Same!!! Started on drums when I was 15 before picking up the bass last year.
It really benefits me in getting the rythm and groove going easily.
I just gotta say, these rhythm section videos are fan-frikking-tastic. You guys are talking about the subtleties of playing that took me decades to pick up on my own. And you guys just lay it out there. I feel like these are the little nuances that turned me from decent player to a really good player. Those little things are what got me the gigs. Kudos to you.
These two together are my new favourite part of SBL 😀. Learning so much, they are both real characters and very experienced, they fit together so well.
Please more of this. I love having drums as a guide for the bass!
Somebody finally captured a “fly on the wall” discussion and put it into a digestible lesson.
These two are so great together. Fantastic teachers and they obviously really dig making music with each other.
This really is the stuff I need. I’m a competent player but I struggle to grove.
I was like, "he's been faking that British accent!", until I realized LOL.
yep, they are like brothers lol
He is a bit
That's not Scott Devine. Scotty is British!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@susiemuirhead561 Who is this guy?
These videos with Ian and Steve are great. Really killer content guys
These little drum and bass segments are great.
More please.
Ian, your videos are amazing!
Congrats all SBL team
Love these videos with Ian and Steve. Really speaks to the most essential part of being a bassist..working with a drummer to move people and songs along. What notes you play is just one part, where you play them is another and then how you play them completes the conversation.
Great Ian, but honestly they're both great, love the serie of videos drummer/bassist talking, gives that POV from bassist and Steve who talks about the bassist and viceversa for drums, very very good, love it!
Suggestion for another video(s): have Steve play the top 5-10 drum patterns in music. Play some grooves that would fit those patterns.
So good ,Absolutely love this series . Having a Drummer be a big part of it is huge ! I'm not a solo bass Jazz guy . I'm a Rock band guy with a P bass . Everything I do ,in Life, (besides home life :-) ) is WITH a drummer . Thanks for these guys .
Damn that’s a nice looking jazz bass. Great grooves too!
Was thinking exactly the same!
Antigua is the color I believe.
Love ur channel found it 8 months ago Scoot been helping me big time... Thanks been watching all ur videos. Thanks keep it up..
The most believably spontaneous conversation in the history of humanity ever.
Ian taught at the college I attended and he blew my mind. He did a workshop in which he helped me understand groove and the percussive elements of bass and guitar playing.
I decided to subscribe to SBL during this latest lockdown, and this course was worth the annual subscription alone.
Great series! There are not enough videos about bass & drums locking and grooving. Delicious!
Micheal League said that you can play “in time” and it’s fine. But if you “groove” and play with “feeling” it’s awesome
My playing matured basically instantly when I watched Making Music with Victor Wooten and Carter Beauford on VHS (yeah that's right, kiddos!) They said that the general rule in most situations is to play short notes when the high hat is closed, and play long notes when it's open. Sure there are exceptions of course, but being conscientious about note length alone can be a game changer.
Ian-loving that Antigua Jazz Bass!
This is simply one of the best videos I saw on youtube. Ever :-) Thanks Scott and groovy friends :-)
Why is Ian's bass face so friendly looking?
Amazing technique and tutoring. So damned good :)
Smashing ! ❤
I love these bass n drums sessions sooo much!!! Thanks Ian!!! And Steve!!, them half time beats get me every time!!!
This is the anatomy of baselines. wow
Amazing groove lesson!!! I actually love these lessons with you guys demonstrating each and every small detail which effects the whole music! Thank you!
I love Ian groove, such a good bass player and teacher
I love that antiqua soooo much!!!!!
Woah, Steve is here! As a drummer who is trying to learn bass, it’s like worlds colliding, lol.
Holy Doubles Scott !!!
So whimsical !!🥳
Great as always and super informative - thank you!
Love these guys.
I could listen to this guy talk bass all day
You guys are amazing. I love following your vids. Keep up your enlightening work. Cheers
Nice down to earth discussion and breakdown about some important abstract concepts. Presented in a way that players of many skill sets can learn some valuable concepts here. More ways to communicate. Self awareness... Great video guys, keep em coming... And that pendulum swinging
Great info gents! You compliment each other well, but also give each other room to speak! (Yes, I see the parallel.) Enjoyed your video.
Awesome 😎 Is that your twin Scott? Had to do a double take. 🤣
Seconded. He spoke “American” and it threw me off 🤣
Was it the bald head or the glasses? Expecting to see Scott too throws you off a bit 😉
this is just what i needed !!!! thank you for posting this !!!
Love that bass Ian
Great content
Keep them coming
love these videos
wooowww. you are both sooo amaaart. marvelous.
Its all about feel. If you just play the notes without feel, its just souless really.
If any of your listeners want a lesson in "groove/bounce" and dynamic articulation on the bass, please have them checkout Sly and the Family Stone! Larry Graham's use of every funk techniques and tricks-definitely amplifies your points on dynamic articulation.
You are my favourite bass teacher is what I meant to say
Cheers Joanna!
One of my favorite examples of this is Rusty Allen's groove in "If You Want Me to Stay" (Sly and the Family Stone). Those 8th note pulses on a single note have so much drive. If that bass part was ever written down, the groove would be completely lost. Just imagine the church keyboardist playing that song incl. the bass part from sheet music - no disrespect for keyboardists intended. Lines like that come from the soul and the fingers. FWIW - I never called this stuff "dynamic articulation" before. I always used terms like dynamics, groove, feel, etc. but dynamic articulation is a perfect name.
These guys are great
Would you guys just record a jam session and post it please? Just you two groovin. Thanks.
Wait the earth wind and fire part was silent. Got a copyright issue? And when you both play together can you please turn the bass up? These interactions are really appreciated :)
EW&F (or the record company that owns the copyright) are blockers on RUclips.
I’ve always felt that the best bassists and drummers are people who can “feel” music. Hard to really explain, so you either know what I mean or you don’t.
Sigh I have so much to learn
Had an epiphany moment about this last year. I had been seriously wondering if my own way of voicing notes was needed or even a benefit. Would it not be cleaner to drop consistent clean keyboardish bass notes as the foundation for everything else?
My band had a rehearsal without our rhythm guitar player. Lead guitar was still there, but there was a particular song I do a lot of slides and ghost notes I was hearing better than I ever had. Took the opportunity to experiment and did a few bars of clean unflavored notes to compare to my normal "dynamic articulation". Was super weird, I went from flavoring the song to just kinda there. My bass line was not wrong, but it had the guys looking around confused about whatever had changed.
So yeah, dynamically articulate it up. Its subtle from bass, but DEFINITELY puts our flavor stamp on any song we play.
I’ve never had the opportunity to have a teacher that gets this stuff, most bass teachers are guitarists who teach bass on the side and don’t really understand groove
changes the whole game
🧡🧡🧡
The grooviest part of Billy Jean is the Low octave F# on beats 1 and the + of 3. which were not played by the generic american brand Scott.
For the bass giveaway, are you guys giving amps with them? And if we do win do we choose which one we want or will you guys determine which one is best for us?
I hate that it's taken me so long to find this channel. Oh well, it's never to late to pick up bass - I hope 😅
We used to call it, “grease.”
Is that Adam Clayton on drums 😉😉😉
Oh man ..yes I play bass and I use style of playing in all styles in music and I get back slash from some musicians.... I don't care I slide pop harmonics and dig into the fretboard .man it just adds character
I have a wierd muting technique when I use the bad mother to ring finger. And strictlya 4 string or 6 string player. I don't use 5 strings much.
What colour i that bass called? It's just beautiful!
Pendulum = metrics?? I don't know if I get the concept right
Looks like if Scott and Nolly got mixed together
RUclips: Would you like to mute that part or just have the video totally removed?
the idiocy is the video is as much a copyright infringement as the audio though.
@@brendonwood7595 like Rick Beato says.. this kind of video, educational in nature, should be cut some slack.. an educator shouldn't be hit with a copyright claim just because he plays a bass line from a famous song for illustration purposes
it doesn't sound BAD, it 's Billie Jean! :-)
When I started this video, I was wondering where Scott picked up an American accent!
Good groove.
Scott taught us how to play that Billie Jean bass line a little differently: ruclips.net/video/QPZr5GFSoR8/видео.html
I guess you could say the attack on the octave notes is an element to that groove too
This is what it’s like being backstage at Hillsong
Bill jean?
Saitama is a bass player, now I've seen anything xD
Mmmm..that antigua J bass..
Why did all the audio drop out when they showed Earth, Wind, and Fire?
For copyright reasons I can imagine.
@LCP71 lol
I get it
This guy does a vid when they want to show a guy playing between the nut and the 6th fret and not playing too busy...
so the no feel bass at 4:19 is basically what Billie eilish been doing?
👍
What happend to your accent, Scott??
Lol
Ouch snare is so loud
Mandela Effect Scott.
base volume too LOW. Your voice is x10 louder than the base. Turn up the base!
Either you feel the groove or not. You can't learn it.
Sure, you can practice but it will never be the same
I thought it was Scott until he talked...
If the bass was just a little louder, I think I could hear it.
Dont use a phone speaker and expect to hear bass lol
Weird ending.
I unsubscribed, because of your annoying advertisements , your giveaways needs a credit card and I think that this is a scam (who needs a credit card information for free stuff)?
Scott is pretty slick but I assure you it’s no scam. I’ve been a subscriber to the full site for years. It’s probably the only lesson site I feel is worth the money.
I would never re-paint any J Bass except the "Antigua" model. Who would actually think, "wow, this looks great". Fugliest J Bass ever.
I think it comes to dancing with your fingers : what I mean is we more easily think dancing as incorporating gestures rythmicaly while playing music we can often resort to merely apply music theory. I think if you're not already playing your groove as a sort of dance, by joining your notes through gesture, we will not make people dance. (And this translates to most music really, not only music to dance, because most music is somehow made for the body)
