- I'm going to walk some time and let's see who gets lost first.
See if you can recognize some of the bass lines I've played on records over the years.

How privileged we are to be able to watch such valuable moments like this. Got to love the internet! Ron Carter always inspires me to reconsider my note choice.
Now THAT is music to my ears!
No kidding, was just thinking how i need to get these choices into my playing. Great video!
Such an honor to see and hear you like this. Thank you Ron!
Ron is a living legend who played with everyone. We are blessed to still have him. Enjoy him while you can, there won't be any more Ron carter's.
More and more surviving jazz legends are utilising RUclips and giving us valuable content! Hope this trend continues! Thanks Mr Carter for all you do and have done for music!
Thank you maestro, i came here after i heard you on my funny valentine album and I’m still shocked.
i saw an interview of Ron where he said he played bass guitar, but he preferred an upright because an upright can be played with more force . As he put it "I want the drummer to have tread marks over his back when I play a B flat 7." Or something to that effect. And you can really hear the force of his bass playing in this video.
Tread marks on the Mind! ❤️🙏🏼
Thank you Mr Carter for being my guiding light in Walking Jazz bass. I first learnt to play jazz bass via your 1998 book " Ron Carter 'Building Jazz Bass Lines Book 1&2'" & although I play Electric bass, I have gain so much knowledge & understand from them. Also your works on Jamey Abersold playlong tracks & even your works in"Band In The Box", and of course all the various recordings of your albums & with the Legends in Jazz. Blessings & gratitude 🙏❤
This is like a gourmet meal! I'm savoring every note. Thank you so much Ron for sharing your amazing talent. Practice time!
I LOVE practice time!
I could listen to this forever...thank you Mr. Carter.
Thank you Ms. Murray!
What magical sound. 🎼
So much respect, Mr. Carter. You are legendary.💕
That wonderful controlled relentless pulse. That was going to town🙏. I felt like I could hear a whole band playing. Thanks Ron so much for sharing all this great content. Means a lot.
What an amazing journey, takes you on an excursion that clears your mind and soul, bewildering bass artistry!
Thank you Mr. Garfunkal!
I used to stare at photos of his hands in magazines and on album covers back in the 70's. Mesmerizing even when not in motion.
I don't know of anyone who sounds as good on that set of strings as he does.
I missed your birthday but let me be the last to say Happy 85th, Ron, and many many more to come!
Thank you, Mr. Coughlin. :)
Well, if this is not the best backing track for practicing my drums!! Thank you so much and have an amazing day! 🤩
Thank YOU, and you do the same!
Sir Ron swings hard, as always! Thank you for the blessing. In gratitude.
The greatest bassist so far.
(I‘m a Rock and Metalplayer but there is no way around Ron Carter)
Mr. Carter, thank you for being part of the soundtrack of my youth. But I especially thank you for a night at the old Iridium, Dec, 1999, when you were playing there with Houston Person. You came over to me after the first set and started talking. We talked a lot that night, about Miles, about a lot of things. What a great memory!
If this had gone on for another 8 hrs I'll still be sitting here with that same silly ear to ear smile and cracking up from time to time.
There's a life time worth of knowledge in those fingertips. So cool to see Ron play this up close! Excellent!
PARABÉNS, RON!
Thank you :)
BRAVO TO THE MASTER LOVIN THESE RON CARTER MOMENTS.
Mr. Carter, your musicianship is incredible. You are a gift!
Loved your interview with Rick Beato ! May the fourths be with you, Ron - greetings from London UK !
My all-time favorite bassist! Fingers of steel… never lose the time when I play along with his records… love me them GLISSANDI !
This totally reminds me of that ending of Samba de Orfeu with Bach's Cello Suite 1 Prelude. I've been listening and enjoying ur music for a while now, it's quite astonishing and at the same time so carefree
This video is more valuable than gold! An absolute master class of music and blues bass lines.
Watching in Korea i ❤ you ron
I just watched the documentary of mr carter on pbs, a very inspirational experience
Absolute genius. Thank you for so many years of amazing music!!
With greatest pleasure and gratitude!!!
Excellent! This is a blessing, will have to play along with this! Thanks Maestro!
Legendary bassist
5:40 - 🙂 And the turnaround a couple of seconds after the 6:40 mark…sheesh! Beautiful as always Mr. Carter - thank you for sharing. Your feel, sound, ideas, and choices are as informative, inspiring and iconic as always
Last man standing! Haha thank u so much!
Love from Spain
Love the acoustic bass’s sound, so groovy and free
Love the jacket
Legend
God keep blessing you, Maestro
Many, many thanks for this, Ron Carter. Some players can make you feel a little bit daunted, whereas Ron Carter is an inspiration to me.
Ron thank you for what you have done for Music.
As someone who is interested in learning upright. Where do I start? Whats my homework?
I would recommend finding a good bass teacher. I have a video on how to find the right teacher for you here: ruclips.net/video/vH2la-pPKVU/видео.html
Then I would give the advice I give to any bassist: practice diligently, and listen carefully. I recommend you practice 1-2 hours every day, if you are looking to pursue this beyond a casual hobby. Practice with a purpose. Know what you are working on and focus on that. Get a solid grasp on your chords so you can understand how your notes will fit in with the notes of others. Listen to the music you want to play and study it with this in mind.
There are so many lessons in this video. I am taking this video section by section. Ron, thank you for sharing and teaching.
C jam blues 😻
Gosh, front row seat. You are indubitably the best, Mr. Carter, and long may you remain so.
Love the painting in the background. It's not a Davis is It?
Excellent M.Carter! From Bruxelles Belgium
Magic❤
just wonderful
The best lines ever! Thanks Ron
You are most welcome Mr. Fortia
Thanks for sharing, maestro!
My pleasure Mr. Anacieto! Thanks for listening
@@RonCarterBassist :o
Your left hand is magic!
Nice rendition of C Jam blues
Thank you very very much Maestro from Buenos Aires 7 am!
You are most welcome from NYC 9:30AM
Hi Ron 🙂 I love your bass playing
The what? man. Killed it .
It's time to gig!
Pure creative pleasure!
Amazing! So grateful, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Do I hear some Jimmy Blanton there, in the chromatic parts, or just my imagination?
In any case, a real pleasure having this close approach to your magic. Thanks from Bilbao, Spain, Mr. Carter (I don't know if you remember playing here a few years ago - I will always do)
Sure I do!
Greetings from Salt Lake City! I'm a clumsy middle-aged piano player, and here in Utah there was hardly anyplace to play jazz even before the plague. It was such a treat to play along with this! I only got lost twice, which is pretty good for me. But somehow you seemed to anticipate my faltering and as if by magic a beautiful turnaround would float up and I'd find my footing again. What fun! Thank you for the best moment of my whole week!
Peace and safety to you and yours...
Thank you for this wonderful message Mr. Gordon. Stay safe, and hopefully you can get to a jazz club somewhere when they open up again and we can meet.
@@RonCarterBassist Thank you, Maestro! And here's hoping!
Peace
Kenny
Thank you Mr. Carter! This is so generous! I had a blast playing along with you!
Master!
So many great skills taught through playing along with this video! Thank you for sharing your wisdom to aspiring jazz musicians. You truly are one of the greats!
My pleasure Mr. Barette!
@@RonCarterBassist I was so excited to discover you had been posting videos during this period Of isolation! I am looking forward to learning more from you!
I have found that the musicians who love practice time are the REAL musicians; the ones who are interested in finding the next story to tell... interested in what the "horn" might say to them this time around.
Tony Williams is up there saying, ‘Yup, I know…’
Gracias Maestro. Thank You So Very Much ,Master Bassist...Mr.Ron Carter.♫♪ ♪♫ Excellent.!!! from Brooklyn, New York.( June 25th.,2020)
My pleasure Mr. Richards - From Manhattan!
Hello Mr Carter! It’s so Nice to see all the clips with you being so active at RUclips!
As you know I’m a big fan of yours and your bassplaying. Ever since I first heard you with Miles
I’ve been following you and and I am so impressed by your playing and your capasity to fit in in all different context.
That is amacing! And top of all that you are always well dresser and very elegant!
A man to look up to. But most of all a great misician!
Best regards
Lars Karlsson
Thank you Mr. Karlsson!
🤘🏽👽🛸🎶🎶🎶
That was delicious and the ghost notes around 6:50 so cool! Just subscribed and between you, Leland Sklar and Rodney McG, I have plenty of bass info to absorb. So thank you for sharing with us!
You're welcome, and thank YOU for listening!
Another Lee Sklar fan!🙂
Been listening to you since your VSOP days with Herbie. This pretty much breaks down "Eye Of the Hurricane" bass line. I could never understand all those notes. Thank you sir for still being on you A-game. Chers!
thank you for this! And for keeping on listening...
This is where the jazz starts
What a great channel. I bought a copy of Yellow and Green on cd in March? It took over three months to arrive from Japan to London because of the lockdown ect . It was great to finally have a cd copy , Epistrophy is a stand out track but some of the funky things are cool . I bought that lp on vinyl over 35 years ago ha ha . I can remember seeing Kenny Barron at Ronnie Scott’s in 1986 and I was thrilled to see the pianist from Yellow and Green.
Thanks for sharing!
merci Mr , c'est comme ça que j'aime la contre basse solo ,super chantant!
Hola Señor Carter. Es una alegría inmensa verlo y escucharlo. Muchas gracias por su existencia. Le mando un abrazo grande desde mi barrio San Nicolas, Buenos Aires, Argentína.
Hi, maestro #roncarterbassist thank you for posting! I wonder who is the artist made your portrait behind you?
It was a gift painted by a dear friend of mine, who left the concert too soon.
@@RonCarterBassist I'm very sorry to hear that! Thank you for your music and incredible Jazz career! You made the World a better place!!!
Você é o melhor contrabaixista que eu ouvi tocar, junto de Scott La Faro eu não vejo nenhum á sua altura, PARABÉNS MESTRE - sou de Araraquara São Paulo - Brasil
Gorgeous playing! Your bass really sings. Thank you so much, Mr. Carter! (Can we call you Ron?)
Maestro sounds really "grown-up" ;o)
@@RonCarterBassist You have certainly earned it, Maestro!
A true virtuoso.
Aw shucks - thank you!
Thanks So much Mr Carter I thoroughly enjoyed this made my night great walking!! Will have to do some transcribing to pick up some of those hidden gems:)) happy holidays 🌲
Happy holidays to you as well!
❤❤❤
Mr. Ron Carter, hoping you are good in health!
I was wondering, what kind of strings do you use? or recommend for that matter. I want to try new sounds and keep searching for my sound. And your sound is one I admire greatly!
Lots blessings!
I use LaBella Professional JazzStrings set #7710T
Greatly appreciated 🙏🏻
Have blessed day sir!
7.03 is a Carter trademark walk that’s a personal favourite for me! He did something similar for his collaboration with MC Solaar back in the 90s!
great
Free lesson
😊
Love the suit man. Sick as fuck
Grateful you are here sharing your insight and musicianship with us. Can’t wait to try and jam along with you and learn some of these lines and then try to decipher the depth when compared to the written changes 😊 The magical and marvelous thing about your walk lines and bass playing is how it’s a composition first. You say your own story regardless of the changes and framework. That’s your depth! Could you some day do a jam on some of the material form Nefertiti? I’d love to watch you play those lines and just go on a bass journey. Pinocchio, Fall, Nefertiti…thanks again Maestro. Peace and much love, happiness and health to you. I’ll try and find Waldo, but I got a feeling I’m gonna get lost in the process😊
Mr.Insingo,
Who do you have in mind?
@@RonCarterBassist -Maestro Carter how about “Pinocchio”? That would an amazing journey to watch and listen to. Can’t believe I’m having a dialogue with you. I love RUclips. ❤️🙏🏻
@@ginsingo1, now you're asking for some really good luck...
@@RonCarterBassist 🤞🏼👍🏼. When you played the bass line to this song, did you incorporate the melody to create your walk ideas or followed the changes? The changes on the fake book are so odd, when I try to play along I don’t get lost as much if I play around with the melody. But hard to visual the changes when playing of the melody. Unless my eyes are glued to the chart. I’m sure that will get easier. I’m gonna work on listening to your lines next and see how they relate to melody and changes. Listened to it for years but always thought it was to hard to learn. My bad, already created a mental barrier for myself for all those years. Thanks again for taking the time to read my replies and if you get around to posting a video, great ! If not no worries I got you on vinyl😊
@@ginsingo1 Which one are you referring to?
that painting tho
who painted this? this is one of the most beautiful painting i've ever seen
It was painted by a dear friend of mine, who has sadly left the concert.
Really tasty stuff! I'm wondering how I can incorporate your playing on my horn.
come to chile!!!!!
If only I could I would!
Hey Ron, I’m a sax player but I was curious on your thoughts of horn players also practicing walking bass lines on their instruments as a way of improving technique? Is it beneficial or should horn players stick to their other techniques? Thanks!
I'm not a sax player so I can’t tell whether bass line physically enables a greater skill level. But it may help horn players understand what the bassist is doing and what he is telling the horn player.
@@RonCarterBassist thank you very much!
Rather than playing bass lines on the horn I say learn bass as a double. Flute and sax player here, when I picked up bass it had big improvements to my time and understanding of changes
@Daniel Riera Hey ! It's Daniel Riera, this is great and makes me feel really happy on a spiritual level almost, I've had kinda a fucked up past couple of years and this makes me happy and gives me hope because it's like the spiritual world trying to cheer me up by telling me that I'm not hopeless because it brought me here to remind me that my entie life hasnt been fucked up because I got tot experience once in a lifetime things, things that most of the kids who were and are my age will never to get experience the way I did. Things like meeting some of the most incredible msuicans and knowing that they can look like me, they can spread thier creative wings and not only play some of the most killin jazz flute with the swing, advanced improv vocab and of course swag, but also could groove in just about any genre/style, was into sound design, audio enginneering, and production behind one of the most dope rappers in the country (Watsky, for those interested) not to mention beat everyone who commented on this video in a Halloween costume contest. Daniel, this is Adam Sticklebault, I played acoustic bass and lvied on the 6th floor at the same time you and Max were roomies in 150. I gotta say this but on top of all that to be so free of care of what anybody thought of you and the fact that you have some Mexicano blood was a thing of beauty to see. I gotta give you flowers because I'm at a point where I gottaa speak my mind and my truth no matter what form now one, and tell you that it was inspiring to get to hang and hear what you did and produced while we were in school together in Boston are some of my most fondest memories that I will be grateful for everytime I remember them. Dios te bendiga.
Hey Ron, I was wondering if you could give me a little bit of advice. When I practice and I’m walking on a tune, how often should I not put the roots on the first beat? In other words, when is it better to play simpler and more rooted, and when is it better to be more harmonically colorful? I’m 17 and when I play with my mom (who is a singer), she tells me it’s much clearer to always put the roots on one. Is it better to be simpler with vocalists and to be more colorful with instrumentalists?
The difficulty in this question in that the answer depends on soooooo many factors..
and i don't wish to have you get into an argument with your mom since i couldn't disagree more..
Hi Ron can I drop a line
Bass people!! Can anyone tell me what tune this is!?!
It's a Duke Ellington song "C JAM BLUES!"
@@RonCarterBassist thank you sir! I knew I recognized the duke at the beginning!!
