feel the 2 and the 4 👍 and then it will swing
So every "2" in a "1" and "2".
Love that the whole short was in time.
I love your upright bass man, wish I could afford one💯👍
Some of these lessons on RUclips feel very high level. It's amazing the access to professional content we have sometimes 👏
If you stand straight up and don't have any body movement it doesn't matter where your accents are you have to move your body when you play that's according to Ray
Woe, that's crazy. It's something so simple and seems like it shouldn't work, but I already feel it.
Holy hell, that sound... and that drive... that is insane
Swinging on the 2 and 4 reference points. Nice upright bass too.
I’m a guitar player and this is something I needed to hear.
Cool video.
Similar to rudiments on drums: if you follow the 8th notes it will just be if you accent the 2nd note you will have much more control over the sound, making the piece much cleaner.
Such great advise!
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Interesting. Thank you
Yea the only problem is i’m pretty sure if i took the audio file of this video and lined it up against a grid i would see that the timing is pretty much the same. Cause the thing that actually dramatically changed wasn’t the timing but the volume. Yes it’s gonna sound more swingy if you accent the offbeat even if the overall timing stays the same.
Well sure, dynamics and articulation are just as important to Swing feel as the placement of the beats. For quarter notes it's pretty much *the* difference
@@Muzikman127 except swing isn't just a feel it has a pretty clear meaning regarding the timing of notes. You can increase or decrease swing in your daw. that won't change anything but the spacing between your notes. That's it.
@@stoneagealienz874 the DAW meaning of "ratio between 1st 8th and 2nd 8th being greater than 1" is an oversimplification, it's one small part of a wider rhythmic concept. The use of swing only narrowly to mean that one aspect of rhythm is a relatively recent idea that comes from software, but isn't the way jazz musicians historically have used the term, and isn't what the player is talking about here (although it is a part of it)
@@stoneagealienz874 It's also sometimes been misunderstood that way by classical musicians writing about jazz too, who have often basically said "swing is when the first beat is twice as long as the second beat". It's probably this classical musician/academic's misunderstanding/reduction of swing that's led to the modern (more nuanced but still very reductive) DAW "swing percentage" meaning. And while that _is_ a useful and practical concept for all sorts of things, it's also quite a different concept to what jazz musicians mean when they talk about "swing", and not something any of the jazz greats who knew "how to swing" would recognise
A better understanding of swing (in the context of playing in a mainline jazz idiom anyway) is "the micro rhythms and articulation that give jazz its characteristic timefeel". "Swung 8ths" is a part of that, but it isn't the whole story, or close to it
I’m by no means an expert but wikipedia disagrees with you
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_(jazz_performance_style)
I miss Copenhagen but actually getting more traction now that I'm back
Wonderful
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Deadly
I think I've been doing this subconsciously for a long time.
good advice
Good advice 👍 What’s the make/model of the upright?
Believe it's the Yamaha SLB3000 (silent bass model)
@@jonhmusic423 Thanks! Exactly what I'm looking for. Out of my price range.
@@patcupo They certainly aren't cheap! I have their silent guitar model (much more affordable) and it's great - uses an impulse response to get an accurate acoustic tone.
There are a few electric upright options out there for less, but none of them sound as realistic as the SLB to me.
@@jonhmusic423 IR is a clever way to go. I’ll have to find one and try it out. I mean, I have to, right? Right.
I'm mainly a drummer and can hear the difference when bass players are just pretending to walk
Good vid
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
_It Don't Mean A Thing, If It Ain't Got That Swing_
Lado bravo
I just count in 3/4 time it works great for me
Thanks. I'm new and really want to sound human.
But wait a sec, he wasn’t playing on the 2 and 4. The last walk was the same as the first one he said wasn’t right!! Maybe I’m not listening hard enough but the 2 & 4 walk at the end sounded like he was using the 1 & 3 as well!!
He didn't mean to only play on the 2&4, he meant to play on all quarter notes but use the 2&4 as reference points when counting and to stress them more in your playing.
If you can dig into those 2&4 notes and get a bit of bite, then coupled with the snare you create a bit more back and forth from beat to beat.
Ok, that makes more sense. What I like to do is use the quarter notes then add a double in between the quarters to “shuffle” or “stutter” over to the next beat.
When I was playing rockabilly and did pizz work I would do that and emphasize the 8th beat to shuffle between “phrases” but it all depends on how the music is shuffling.
He’s already a pretty fantastic player so it would probably be hard to play an ACTUALLY bad bass line
He strangely didn't mention the little percussive graces that he was punching in on the last one.Theyre crucial. On the way into the note, thwack and damp, people, thwack and damp.
Is that an electrician upright?
The 1 & 3 emphasis will sound like a Johnny Cash bass line
What scale was he playing at the start?
Not a scale just a walking bass line
You could say "ascending melodic minor with the minor 6th included as a passing tone" but I wouldn't necessarily say that's how you _think_ while playing walking bass
But that's the notes, D E F G A Bb B C#
Super roughly speaking, it's outlining chords by hitting chord tones (on especially 1 & 3), and putting cool passing tones in between. So it's not just finding the scale = what "selection of notes" to pick from, but it matters a lot whether you're going downwards or upwards, how many beats you need to fill before hitting a certain note etc
Of course melodic minor is a case of classical theory using a similar "direction" concept and knowing scales is absolutely useful for playing jazz, just giving some extra context
Isn’t that 16/32/64s?
Gareth southgates brother
🤘🏻👁️🤘🏻. Carpe diem.
How did I get here I’m lost an confused
Off topic but am I the only one who would see a double bass and say “and people call the bass a guitar”
You mean feel the and
No, he means to emphasize the backbeat, the 2 and 4 of 1234.
you look like a fusion of elon musk and tony stark 😁
Lmao true
Brulliant
Everyone should ignore this guy and listen to Oscar petiford instead.
feel the 1 and 3. doesn't mean you play a rockabilly bass. the way you accentuate 2 and 4 sounds wrong and absolutely doesn't swing
Elon musk
Is it just me or does he look like Elon musk 😅
Am I going deaf or something? You're playing straight quarter notes all 3 examples?? No swinging anywhere
Lah ti do re mi fa se lah¹.... isn't that the basic of what you've just produced it now.
So more notes..
Bruh, you can't swing quarter notes
