Improvisation on the 5th of January 2022 at 23:00 (excerpt 1). Better with some headphones, maybe (or certainly!) I prefered not to cut or edit it, whatever the (obvious?) flaws. Instinctive and spontaneous first drafts, or sketches, of a possible future track. There maybe slight speed problems around 0:28 (or kind of). But not during a long time. Anyway, the idea of the whole piece, or improvisation, revolves around some speed variations. Or around the speed variations between the left hand and the right hand, which is, of course, not easy. I just show how I work. And without hiding myself. Or without a net. Moreover, it doesn't interest anyone. As no one listens carefully to what I do. Never mind then. Or at least make the effort of relistening to it with some headphones!

If you liked the incredibly funky bass line in my latest lesson [David Bendeth's Feel The Real], you'll love my funk bass course. In it, I break down the style, theory, tone, and techniques of 40 bass lines in the style of the greats like Bootsy Collins and Bernard Edwards. https://buff.ly/38q3wh3

This lesson shows you how to take bass chords and improvise. I'm using some basic shapes here, along with notes from the key. Full lesson: https://buff.ly/4dKMJWe

If you perform or speak in public, do you record your practices and rehearsals? I do for two reasons: 1) I learn that I suck—at least some of the time. 2) I learn that I am great—at least some of the time. Oh and reason 3 is that armed with what I learned in reasons 1 and 2, I can improve and then suck less, and be great more. So can you.
