LESSSON: Bass soloing and phrasing issues

[HaVIC5]

So the bass solo thread inspired me to start a lesson series on playing solos, which is an oft-neglected skill. This first one is a basic introduction to what makes good phrasing and basic techniques of call/response that can be used.

Let me know if this was useful. I can expand on this a lot more in upcoming videos in the series.

EDIT: A second video in the series -

God damn that's a good video. You're very good at explaining.

[Bluesdog]

Nice job, Where were you when I was a kid learning by myself? Thanks for sharing.

[WyrdoBass]

Awesome video man! that really helped me!

[tfmbass]

Awesome job! Great explination of phrasing. Like bluesdog said..where the hell where you when I was learning 10 years ago! Keep it up!

[DudeistMonk]

Well done sir. Easily the best YouTube bass video I've ever seen.

Hey Mods, can we sticky HaVIC5's lessons?

Great lesson. I like the fact that you speak the blasphemy of "the notes and modes don't matter so much".

I think it should
Be said that we
Don't speak in four
word phrases phrases phrases

Can you make your
Next Lesson on how
to phrase over the
bar line line line?

You explanation of antecedent and consequent phrases is great. Your use of other melodic tools such as sequencing helps make your phrasing more coherent. Post some more.

Man im going to subsribe to your videos, awesome stuff.

I'd like to see a lesson on writing different melodies or maybe expand on this and talk about using a melody in your solo?

[jpark369]

nice work man, for sure. how old are you? and how long you been playing for?

[Slax]

Ah! I can't wait to get out of work and watch this. HaV1C5's lesson of stacking 4ths was amazing, I'm sure this will be great too.

[Slax]

Just got home and watched it. Great video! Amazingly informative!

[megadan]

Great video, I like how you really focused on the rhythmic element of a solo and realized that the notes weren't as important.

[McHaven]

Great video, looking forward to seeing more from you
