Jeff Berlin Bass Lesson Series

[fearceol]

Leaving aside people's opinions on the man himself, I think these are a great series of lessons, and well presented.

Ditto.

Cool stuff - it would be great to see some lessons about more basic theory presented to bass students if Jeff has done any of that.

 

[Vincent P]

Great stuff; thanks.

Listen to Jeff!! I did the one week intensive a month and a half ago. He is a phenomenal teacher. He knows his stuff, and cares deeply about the musical improvement of his students.

If you friend the Players School at Facebook, these lessons, either in video or written form, come up several times a week. Definitely worthy the time.

I know this sounds really dumb, but - it's not clear what order to listen to them in.

Agreed! For some reason I kept flashing back to the score from the movie "Fargo"......

I know this sounds really dumb, but - it's not clear what order to listen to them in.

I will take a little time over the weekend and see if I can look at them and recommend a strategy.
Off the top of my head I'd say:
Major triads
Minor triads
Diminished triads and Augmented triads
Major 7 Chords (and Major 6 Chords)
Dominant 7 Chords
Minor 7 Chords (and Minor 7 Chords)
Minor 7 b5 Chords
Diminished Chords

 

[SBassman]

Thank you so much, Roy.

Great lessons (very useful information) for a beginner. But i wonder if he as a teacher has more to offer.. These chord tone lessons (and learn to read and dont use a metronome) is the only thing he has been talking about for the last 30 years. Why dont you surprise us with something new maestro?

Because it's education not titilation!

Great series! That took a lot of thought and time to put together, and it's very generous of him to post it. I will definitely be sharing these.

Jeff is the "real deal". Great vids... thanks!

I wonder if he posted them in the order he intended them to be viewed? If so ThePlayersSchoolofMusic video page would list them by date posted.

Many of them are recorded on the same day.

They really should have put a sequence number on all of it.

For those of you wondering why the material doesn't sound New - it's because gold, simple truths of music don't change.

As well as being an amazing player, he's a gifted instructor, too.

Thanks Roy. I had being wondering about the best sequence to work on them.

I cant find a handful of them, for instance, I cant find the major triad video. Maybe im overlooking it.

Great stuff!!! Jeff really know what he's talking about and how to teach!

A Groove is a Terrible Thing to Waste!

Fantastic! Thanks so much. Jeff is a master player and teacher, has so much to share and does it so well.

So much to learn and nowhere near enough time these days. Damn, I've got to stop working so many hours so I can enjoy life and have time to learn things like this.

Thanks again and thank you Jeff!
