would love to play in Poland! that's where my family are from, and I've only been there once before in my whole life.

I'll try and put a date in poland on my tour schedule for november this year.

Easy,

It's great being off the road for a few weeks, gives me a chance to shed some more, and record more stuff for the podcasts.

Great podcast Janek!

I like how you broke down the solo that you played over the loop.

**Pacman** · #87 06-05-2009, 07:59 PM

Janek - great podcasts! I think they're better now that they're more a glimpse into what you're doing. I for one appreciate looking at your processes. Thanks, keep em coming!

Hello,

I was wandering if I could get some simple advice.. I've been a gigging bassist for 2 years.. I am not a technical person, but do want to sound professional. I don't trust the guys in the music shop, they seem to do their best to make me feel stupid and naive and can be quite patronizing. I need some guidance!

I have just bought my first pedal. (the Boss bass equalizer) I use a modest £300 amp (without an equalizer) I'm getting quite a boost but haven't stuck on a particular sound just yet.. I was interested in a sansamp bass driver DI, but the equalizer was cheaper and I heard it basically does the same thing as the sansamp...

Is this true? I basically want a clear bouncy bass sound like the Smiths, or similar to Kings of Leon, Klaxons..

Is the fact I have a modest bass amp hindering me already, or do the pedals take you there even with an amp like mine?

I'll be listening on the flight to Okinawa today!

janekbass · #95 07-29-2009, 06:48 PM

I screwed up towards the end of the podcast.

when I start talking about approaching Minor tonalities from a half step below using diminished I say that the first tonality is C minor, when in fact it's C# minor. It get corrected pretty fast on the podcast, but I thought I'd just add the correction in here if anyone had any problems with it.

Easy,

Janek

Hi, Janek!

Great podcast, as always.

I have an addition in how to use the diminished arpeggio. I´m not that good discussing music theory in english, but I´ll give it a try...

A neat sounding way to use the diminished sound over a E7b9, is to use those those diminished argeggios from E, G, Bb and D#. These are the four scale steps of the dimished scale that are "left over" when you only play the root, the third, the fifth, the seventh och the flat nine och the half-whole tone diminished scale. Creates a more modern and dramatic sound which might not fit in the gypsy style of jazz from the podcast... Anyway, you probably know this, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Take care

Just wanted to comment that your podcasts are absolutely fantastic. I checked them out because I really dig your musical approach and viewpoint, and I was not disappointed. Cheers- it's a pleasure to listen to, and I appreciate the time you spend on it. It's like getting to pick your brain a bit without having to travel to NY to bother you!

I sent it out to about 30 people earlier today- I've heard back from about half, who all said they were bookmarking it.

basmartin · #98 01-07-2010, 09:23 PM

Any more podcasts in the pipe? Really enjoy listening to them.

janekbass · #99 01-12-2010, 01:28 AM

I'll get one out as soon as I can.... I think I have half a day off next week and I might try and fit it in there. I've just been on tour since the 28th of October, got to LA three days ago, and started work immediately with UK pop singer VV Brown so the schedule has been totally jammed recently.....

Easy,

Janek

basmartin · #**100** 01-18-2010, 03:30 PM

Great that you have a lot of things going on! Don´t want to stress you up about the podcast, if you only have a half a day of... Don´t forget to rest!
