Smooth Jazz Bass Solo!

  • Once again I feel like a fish out of water when I try to play a bass solo. I won't tell you how many takes I had to take to get an acceptable solo . All I can say that way too many takes, way too many. The bass I played is Fender American Elite Jazz Bass V.

    If that is just an "acceptable" solo, I can't even imagine a good solo! So melodic and so smooth that, on that rainy Monday morning, I find myself driving a Mustang on a Californian highway :-) Thanks (from France).

    This sounds great man but I would also try adding some repetition because you have a lot of cool licks but they're getting lost because the audience doesn't have enough time to digest them. This would add more space and also allow to you accentuate some really nice lines.

    I want to learn how to play bass since forever. Now I am trying to get into it and having trouble figuring out which base to use-- a J or P pickup or J & P pickup, J & J, Humbucker, etc. Its confusing. I do know that I want to play smooth Jazz for starters then perhaps move into what I call groove. Groove is smooth, chill, rhythmic and has upbeat positive energy. Not high energy, but sort of liberating, smooth, make you feel good groove. Any ideas what type I should invest in? Anyone? I am going to bookmark this page and come back hoping to find some feedback. Thanks in advance.

    Pauli, I've been listening to some hymns recently - i.e. Agnus Dei; Hymn of the Cherubim; Miserere mei. It's not my normal forte, but when I hear them, I wonder what they might sound like with a jazz bass behind them. Just wondered if you'd ever explored this or know of others who have? Thanks

    • @paulipetas

    • @paulipetas
      @paulipetas  Год назад

      Thanks! I think it depends on what you are looking for. My bass has both passive and active electronics and is a 5-stringer (of course 4-string models exist too). If you're looking for a more traditional tone and feel, you should go for a vintage ii series bass.

    What scale did you use?

    • @paulipetas
      @paulipetas  3 года назад

      I think in the beginning it's mostly F# minor scale. When there's a dominant chord (F#7b9), 5th mode of the harmonic minor scale works on a place like that. There are couple of places with altered chords, where the super locrian scale sounds nice. But I think that the way you play the scales is equally important to what scales you play, phrasing and such. I hope this helps!
