jesus, I thought you had brought John Entwistle back to life
-
Dua Lipa's recent work has some killer bass lines and having Mark Ronson working on this track added complexity and extra funkiness.
-
This channel destroy every stereotypes of bass players. We are nice, fun energetic and joyful people ❤
-
That's my most favorite category of videos on this channel and also videos without bassline
-
His bass sounds killer. He’s a great player. The octave trick is fantastic.
-
It’s so cool to see what the pros do to learn songs.
-
I love that he ran to his house to get the pedal, video taped it, and SBL included it in this video. Awesome!
-
Definitely going to use the octave up trick for learning songs. 24 frets on my bass finally coming in handy.
-
My elementary music teacher said the exact same thing to us “practice doesn’t make perfect, practice makes permanent” never forgot that advice
-
I saw Jon in a songwriting /recording session with Warren Huart some weeks ago. There he build up a basspart from scratch while they were writing the song. For the first part I thought I would have done something similar.....and then I completely lost him :face-green-smiling: He is so good :face-red-heart-shape:
-
I am a huge fan of Jon!! As a 59 year old Nashville pro, I KNOW that he absolutely crushes it in every way! What a fantastic musician.
-
That Octabass sounds so good, I want to buy one now 🤣
-
The three of you have such amazing energy…and the editing of these videos are fantastic
-
Yessss! Practice makes permanent was taught to me by my 6th grade band teacher. It never left my brain. Its gold
-
That is interesting how he talked about how if he writes the chart than he can't memorize it and they are two different parts of the brain. Sean Hurley sad the EXACT same thing. Good lesson.
-
Thank you so much for admitting that even great musicians can draw blank at the beginning of a song on stage. I have had that experience and I’ve gotten very frustrated with myself. Something I have played 1000 times and in the moment, it is gone.
-
"""PRACTICE MAKES PERMANENT"""...........BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!
-
dude i love ur guyss channel ive been watching for yrs
-
The octave trick blows my mind along with the Sensei's advice...WOW! AWESOME VIDEO!
-
So much good advice on how to figure a song out. This was one is very valuable even if you don't like the song.
