Having grown up in the predominantly black church and having a dad who slays the Hammond b3… I will tell you there is nothing like the jams and grooves that we would get into. Some of thee best musicians come out of the black church. Of course with the internet now people are sharing and you get to peak in and study us. It’s definitely something special.❤️❤️
Holy smokes, this man can CUT IT. I’m beyond inspired and humbled. I’ve got SO much to learn and watching how much fun he’s having playing that makes me so excited to learn it. I may not be a believer but when I listen to this you know I wanna throw my hands up and praise 🙏🙌
Best player in the world My Forever MD. Andrew Gouche gave me my first real gig I’m forever grateful he asked do you even have a keyboard? I was 17 and he trusted me to come through and handle such a giant gig and it made my ears open forever. Gouche the king of bass in my eyes..
@@ivancillovelazquez Wow, really that's pretty cool, would you mind sharing it with me? I have never written out something like that, or anything ever xD. I Just try learning stuff By ear
The amazement on Scott's face and his hilarity are so contagious !!! You see the musician to musician complicity and it feels just GREAT !!! That walking bass is DOPE! There should be a "don't try this at home warning" lol.
I’m not a gospel musician; but ALWAYS admired the bass players. Andrew has and ALWAYS amazes me with playing. Is there anyone else I need to listen to, please hit me up.😊
I've been really digging Sharay Reed. He's the bassist for Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles as well as lots of gospel stuff you can easily find on youtube: ruclips.net/video/pATcvr3zAhg/видео.html FYI, I'm not a gospel musician (or even a follower) either, but as a bassist there is so much you can learn from these guys.
I loved this video. The vibe is fantastic! What I noticed immediately, and then set the playback speed to 0.25 to catch this, is the so called "flying fingers". I would get so negative and down on myself for my own flying fingers and watched Scott's lessons on this to tame this issue. And I've practiced to reduce this. But when you watch a video like this and see the amazing technique, vibe, presence, and awesome sound, etc., etc., it's just makes me realize that it's not all absolutely vital to have "absolutely flawless" technique to be able to play amazing music in an amazing way! This video was just a huge encouragement to me! So called barriers are not necessarily barriers at all!! Thank you Andrew! God bless you!
My comments above are restricted to only the pinky and ring finger. None of my comments are meant to be negative at all. There's hope for my own freeting hand technique after all!
Mauro Caputi this man is a tremendous player, but please look elsewhere for a model for good technique. His fingers are definitely flying, which just slows you down and wastes energy. It can also impact your control. However WAY more importantly, his right hand is seriously bad. You are asking for a career-ending injury with such a severely bent wrist. I wish all the best for AG, and don't stop admiring his music...but he is not a good role model for good technique.
I love Scott, even though he is a beast bass player but he always put value to the others beast in the way he watches them play on the panel. Andre Gouche, Garry Willis, Marcus Miller, Justin Raines, Rich Brown and many more. ❤❤❤
🔥🔥🔥 that switch up at 2:13 broke me man 😢😭 I'm at work in tears smh I'm 35 years old bro Im the head musician at my church I play keys, organ, bass, and drums. Im gonna hit them with this this Sunday coming. Thank you
I love how some musicians are so facially expressive when it comes to what their music is doin to them...especially bass and guitar players. This is fiya!
FishCombo most definitely, but his use of hammer on’s and pull offs are a huge part of his technique which allows him to play extremely fast, fluid and precise fills almost effortlessly. Truly a master of the instrument and a great example of Gospel playing that’s been at the forefront of tremendously amazing rhythm sections for the last century at least.
What just happened? What a showcase of skill and creativity. Best bass player on the planet! I read some comments about technique, fly finger etc.... Who cares, to be crisp, groovy, mixing it up for 5 minutes like this is nothing less than amazing. To all musicians, the end user of our talents and skills only cares about the product, not the road traveled to get there!
Loved this. Andrew is not only a frigin phenomenal Bassist with such a natural flow but the dude is having so much fun playin. Love seeing Musicians havin' a blast playin'!
wish churches in my country had this music culture too but even if it did it would not have all this soul. i know the apostolic church isn't about strictly music and it's just a tool to worship god, but it could be a way to attract people to the church.
It's all about the "stink face". The stronger the stink, the better your technique and sound! At least that's my story and I am sticking to it! Amazing bass player and inspiration to all, thanks for sharing!!
Man i seen this guy years ago on a James Moore recording video and always wondered where he was. Ita great to see he still killing it 20 plus years later. 🔥!!!!
I didn't know modern gospel used Jazz harmonies. What a delicious flavor. That guy's playing is like finding ice cream at the bottom of a cake. I could listen to this for hours.
@@theprogconnoisseur7955 playing it has nothing to do with the shit technique. This guy is a monster no doubt about it but watch him get carpel tunnel or something like that in the coming years. It'll happen.
All of the people commenting about his right hand technique are simply haters. Who cares- this guy is a pro and can outplay anyone in this comments section- even the ones with perfect right hand technique.
I somehow agree that it could be haters. But I did notice myself, and I do know bass players that got severly injured from having their wrist in this outter position. You might be the best player in church, but for how long?

As a church bass player, I have to say- nothing is more fun to play than this stuff! Andrew is absolutely amazing.
Ditto
Chris B Yessir agreed! Ever since I heard him playing on BB Winans album “Cherch”, he has been my favorite gospel bass player…
I'm an atheist and this music makes me want to go to church
I bet the sound guys still don't turn him up. LOL
Gotta areee with you my dude!

A shout can last 15 - 20 min or more. This is why most Gospel musicians go right to sleep after service...or during service 😁. Nice work Mr. AG!!!
U ain't lying lol I drive a hour n a half to church and then another hour n a half back ,when I get home i go straight to sleep lol
I swear you ain't lying! That's why I got off drums and got on bass!! Those drums will whoop the hell outta you literally!!
Ours last a hr and 30 mins😹

@@jeremyharris6491 Bro I feel sorry for all drummers...couldnt be me...LOL
Ahhh he definitely is spiritually tied with the bass my man! Really phenomenal player!

The tab notation on that would look like a theoretical physicist's calculations on time and space. That was fantastic!
One of my favorite comments of all time
“If you’ve never seen a Buddy Rich solo written out, it looks like fly shit”
-Phil Seamen
I´m doing a note by note transcription of the bass. It is quite fascinating analyzing his walking bass concepts
@@ivancillovelazquez Wow, really that's pretty cool, would you mind sharing it with me? I have never written out something like that, or anything ever xD. I Just try learning stuff By ear
@@clearclearerjesus4717 Absolutely hit me up @ivancillovelazquez I´ll share what I have so far.
Just when uTHOUGHT u were making darn good progress as a bass player good ole RUclips shows u that u haven't learned jack yet! My word!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😱😱👏✌
Cedric Buford 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly 😭😭 compared to this dude I’m not even a beginner yet!
🤣
AG is also the kind of player that would encourage you to get better and keep working on stuff.
I do however understand this is deflating as well lol
my sentiments exactly. D:

This is aweaome. Also, Donald Hayes has such a distinguishable voice on sax. I always know when he is playing immediately when I hear....
Yessir!!
What's the name of this track?
I see bassists like this play and I see pure magic and poetry in motion!
Get you a girl who looks at you the way Scott looks at Andrew Gouches fingers
harry brown, that might be the funniest thing I ever read on RUclips!
Yessir
I didn't notice cause I was doing the same thing
Hahaha!!!
okay, that was funny. haha
I love watching people who legitimately love what they're doing, and Gouche is definitely one of those people.
Well. That's Humbling.
Thats exactly how I feel too.
Don't you know it. :-/ But still inspiring.
Brendan West for real
Just when I thought I was doing something on the bass
GLORAAAAAY!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Andrew, in my opinion, is one of the best bass players alive
You ever heard of Richard bona?
Ya think? 😂
Sharay Reed
Andrew, Sharay Reed, Bryan “B Dub” White and Maurice Fitzgerald. These are the Fab 4 to me.
😂
What I love about Andrew is he can stay in the pocket, play a relatively normal walking bassline then just rip it! WAY COOL!
Pocket nothing...he DROVE that song.
@@ferox965 i thought pocket just meant off the grid aka front or back edge of the beat aka micro timing?
@@ferox965 he sounds like front edge of the beat, like he is dragging the band along with him, an illusion of speeding up is created almost..
I felt those hand cramps, walking bass like that takes it's toll!
Scott is a blessed man to hang out with so many piers and learn new things and enjoy the company of so many great bassists.
Reminds of the bass on Mint Green Slime's song "B.B. Gun".
Which version?
@@deekay2 the one with 409 on bass
Excellent to see a Christian bass player highlighted...Amazing bass work!...Thanks Scott
🔥🔥🔥 that switch up at 2:13 broke me man 😢😭 I'm at work in tears smh I'm 35 years old bro Im the head musician at my church I play keys, organ, bass, and drums. Im gonna hit them with this this Sunday coming. Thank you
Wowwee. Yes thee bass and thy drummer control thou band. But do not tell the others. Thank you for the inspiration.
Scott looked like he was feeling the praises, almost thought he was gonna start shout 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺dancing🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right 😂
I love how some musicians are so facially expressive when it comes to what their music is doin to them...especially bass and guitar players. This is fiya!
Scottsbasslessons just had a revival...that was awesome.
This is where I gained my chops as a drummer, having to move my limbs as fast as the fingers of guys like this. Roots, much respect.
Break it Down & Show Me Somethin. . that's it - let me hear you SHOUT ~~ I got the left but your right hand is talkin to me - great find Scott
Love this so much...esprcially when the horn says.." I'm here!!!"....Praise all day Praise all night " 😎😎😎♥️♥️♥️

And extremely bent
Kevin Madsen play it then say it. Walk it then talk it. When you can play this shit then you can criticize his technique.
Bigg TK Nuggs it’s a good thing to note though, people shouldn’t try to emulate that.
Nathan Lockhart I’d love to see you emulate his chops!

My face just melted.
Watching that church scene in the Blues Brothers movie is of my most joyful moments!
You just showed out!! YOU HELD IT DOWN FOR US!!! 😍😍😍😍 That is shout bass!!!!
How could people dislike Scott and Andrew? Seriously?!?!?
GLORY!
what a gift to be able to express what you feel in your soul. Amazing!
@3mins 35 that is hands down some of the best slap bass ive ever heard
how can people dislike videos like this?!
he's having so much fun!
Some have the gift... Andrew has The Gift! Only God, The Creator of music, could bestow this kind of talent into the hands of His creation. BLESSED!!
Have Mercy!!! 😰 whew I swear I saw smoke come off them thar strings!!! PRAISE JESUS!!!😄 AMEN..
I was atheist before I watched this video. PRAISE THE LORD!
🙌🏾Amen
I am dead😇😇😇😇😇😂😂😂😂😂
bro 😂😂😂
wish churches in my country had this music culture too but even if it did it would not have all this soul.
i know the apostolic church isn't about strictly music and it's just a tool to worship god, but it could be a way to attract people to the church.
Ritchie Rosson hallelujah
Don't mess with Gouche🔥
I love the expressions he's making. Definitely feeling it
Is this what they mean by a Hallelujah moment?
wow......its true the godfather of gospel music........amazing.
One of the best,even he didn't need his eyes to see what notes he was playing
MAN, That's Holy Ghost shoutin music right there now. Hold my bible while I dance.
Touché, Andrew Gouche.
This is what God hoped we'd do given The Free Will. Praise the Lord 🏆😇✨
Wow our gospel sound!God bless...
Awesome playing! I love gospel music.
It's all about the "stink face". The stronger the stink, the better your technique and sound! At least that's my story and I am sticking to it! Amazing bass player and inspiration to all, thanks for sharing!!
Unique hats seem to help as well.
THAT is how you drive both the song and band. Nothing better than good, aggressive playing.
I'm exhausted just watching. Andrew, that was phenomenal!
Man this reminds me of the good ol days
Wow! Thank you Andrew and SBL. This is inspiration. Love bass. Bass love.
Saw this lesson and was blown away by this piece. Glad you posted it for the world!
Talk about 'Making a Joyful Noise' ! Scott & Andrew's faces are alight from 1:34 into the slap figure ! Highlight of my Day. !
Always keep a little AG on the platter. This shout will bring a smile to your face should you need a pick-me-up!😀🙃😊
Andrew Gouche, the Godfather of Gospel Bass playing. #respect
Andrew - Top Man!!!!
Loved how Scott was enjoying this. Cheers, God bless and Jesus loves you!
THANK YOU SCOTT!!!
This is the video I’ve been waiting on 😭😭 😂 Pls more gospel chops!!!!!
I've watched this video several times and this guy is a monster on bass!
💯💯💯
DANG!!! Blessed by the BEST for sure!!
Amazing! EnJoy it the way he is playing and into the expression. Thanks, Scott.
Phenomenal and inspirational. I wanna be able to play like that. Don't think online lessons are gonna do it.
'Tis a great track, with SPECTACULAR Bass playing !
Amazing. I was already amazed then the slapping....
Man i seen this guy years ago on a James Moore recording video and always wondered where he was. Ita great to see he still killing it 20 plus years later. 🔥!!!!
Thank you.... Hallelujah!!!!
I bet Jesus got off His Throne to Dance!!!
Totally amazing song! It's happy and cool at the same time! And fast drums and tempo, and awesome walking bass and sax!
Andrew Gouche wow!!!
That was amazing!!! Thanks for sharing
That was crazy bass playing WOW 😲

Wow, you're amazing, sir. Blessings to you always 🙏🏽
Prince hired him, and took him to Europe. Rocked it for the " Purple One"!
speechless! He's bro, he's an excellent bass player. May the Gospe live
Phenomenal That bent wrist though Ouch!
Martin Heath ya i know i thought the same thing great player but god thats gotta hurt thats all i could look at the whole time
Yeah when I saw that my wrist started hurting.
Not denying their chops, but a lot of these players have terrible technique. Bent wrist, no alternate plucking, no muting etc
@@jensclarberg93 but can you play what Andrew played in this video?
@@theprogconnoisseur7955 playing it has nothing to do with the shit technique. This guy is a monster no doubt about it but watch him get carpel tunnel or something like that in the coming years. It'll happen.
Mind BLOWN!
Living legend
That was a lot of notes and I loved every bit of it
All of the people commenting about his right hand technique are simply haters. Who cares- this guy is a pro and can outplay anyone in this comments section- even the ones with perfect right hand technique.
True dat
The only problem is that bending your wrist that much could mess him up permanently.
I just realized I play like that while sitting but am best bass player in my church moral of the story-----play so that ur right hand is messed up
I somehow agree that it could be haters. But I did notice myself, and I do know bass players that got severly injured from having their wrist in this outter position. You might be the best player in church, but for how long?
Darxxxide you don’t know if he can out play everybody here, but he is a pro
Amazing that he can play marathon pieces with that hook right hand.
Someone needs to get a shout band and a bluegrass band together for a jam session
This made me laugh. You know what's up! Them Pentecostal folks keep it LIVE.
Phunky, spiritual, and soulful. Great video @scott!!!
I'm choking!!!!! This guy is the NUTS!!! Wow...
