People keep "asking" chords, and every time Adam just goes "nice".

As someone who plays Irish music, I’ve found that people who come to it with a “classical foundation” have a lot of unlearning to do.

i think its called meat and potatoes music theory cuz every other type of theory builds off of it in some way, while throwing a bunch of it out the window

When you're a tuba player, you treasure the melodies/counter melodies we are given. My personal favourite is the beginning of the third movement of Mahler's First Symphony.

Ichika has an older album titled "He Never Fades" which is played entirely on bass afaik, and the melodies he's written for it are absolutely surreal

In high school, "Autumn Leaves" was the one song that we had our bass guitarist open with the melody in my jazz combo. Couldn't help but smile that you chose the same song to demonstrate a bass melody.

You played the low bass melody beautifully, even with the sour face! What would a Bach fugue be without bass melody? What would "Roundabout" be without Chris Squire's melodic bass? What would "Flashlight" be without that Moog bass. Bass players should stand out, just like violists! I always listen to the bass first. To heck with Fourier transforms, full speed ahead.

I love how you totally make bass face, but when you played the higher melody in your bossa nova groove, you still made guitar face. Props.

gonna play a little bit of devil's advocate here: I have the feeling that you didn't put the same amount of effort and "groove" when you played the more low bass melody, it felt just like lonely notes played by a bored musician, while on high bass melody you seemed to include a lot of dynamics, vibratos and such.

Adam you keep me playing the bass (among other instruments) even though I miss my index and middle finger on my right hand. You're incredibly motivational with all the theory and knowledge you keep throwing at me.

As a shit bassist, I was always like "Ah, when can i get my ripping bass soloi" when i was in my highschool rockband. I learned fast that it just doesn't work, we tried to do a cover of a song and the guitarist didnt know the solo, and I did, so i was like "I'll play it," it didn't sound good. There's people that are like "Well Royal Blood and Death From Above do it!" but the secret is, they treat their bass like a guitar, they use distortions with a lot of higher frequencies, they pitch the bass up. It's something that was done out of necessity that became their sound. I learned a bunch of this when I wanted to start recording music, I like that octave effect and I love the bass, and it's just nothing but learning from mistakes

I find reggae bass lines to be quite melodic, while still holding down the low-end. Very hum-able!

While playing musicals, I noticed an orchestration technique that I liked: doubling the melody in bass with a high register instrument, like glockenspiel. It fills in so many overtones that these two instruments alone can sound very rich and defined.
