I've heard well respected players say walks should walk up and down. I've never really agreed with that theory. Thanks very much for presenting this logic. Sounds great.
I’m an old beginner, and recently discovered shifting octaves in blues lines.
Of course, I’m looking for more ways to do this, because it sounds SO good.
Thank you very much for showing me how to improve exactly that which I am working to improve.
And slowly!
The transcription is a key that I can build on.
I’m so excited to start practicing what you are teaching!
Great to hear you enjoyed the video. Katie Thiroux's teaching is so good and we have several more lessons to check out on our channel. I hope you enjoy them and best of luck with all your bass playing :-)
Very helpful, thx a lot!
Brilliantly explained
Good stuff. Thanks.
I have no clue about Jazz,- I just love to listen. But what you are explaining in this video reminds me very much to the baroque masters voiceleadings like Bach, Telemann etc. Btw. your bass playing sounds great: very "bassic"! Compliments!
Very nice. Thank you.
Great stuff 👍
Legendary bassist
Gold. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Verry good.
Wow after reading comments everyone is critic 🤦🏻♂️ here something new Thank you for this lesson an explaining it 👍🏼
Excelent!
What I seem to be encountering more and more from either Young bassists or isolated bassists are cats not grounding the chord progression. So learning a foundation like 1,5,1 connecting tone to the next root normally a half step above or below is essential to start with. Then making sure you include the correct 3rd is next. Also if diminished chords how to stack minor 3rds. How to help the progression instead of wondering around like a lost dog.
Might you focus also on the pitch?
Just if you consider it important 😅
Intersting, she is using the ring finger for the sevenths
Yes! I saw that and it felt good to see that lol started with the upright just a few years now (self taught) and I find applications for that ring finger.
I started on electric bass guitar, so j use the ring finger all the time, especially for something fast
Noice!
Her strings sound good which are at?
In this vvideo she was using my bass which had Evah Pirazzi Weich strings.
Like :)
There's different school of thoughts and I think the use of more across the fingerboard approach ala Ron Carter is more efficient. This method she is using is not practical as it involves too much vertical playing ( playing up and down) on the fingerboard. You can be melodic too when you play more across the fingerboard.
haha, everything is a matter of breathing!
Is the bass out of tune or is she?
it isn't her bass. and it seems to be fourth position which is most likely area to be innacurate when you're on a different instrument because of differences in neck block height. so let's hear your intonation buddy!
