How to STOP playing the SAME OLD $?@T
►The Science of Groove with Jonathan Maron: https://scottsbasslessons.com/courses/the-science-of-groove-with-jonathan-maron
If you’re anything like me every now and again you start driving yourself CRAZY… because you just keep playing the same old stuff over and over… and over… and overrrrr…
Every time you pick up your bass, you fall back into the same old patterns and licks…
In this lesson I wanna share a SUPER cool technique to help you get out of that rut and open up a heap of new possibilities the next time you pick up your bass.
… and the weird thing… you don’t need your bass to do this!?
Ready, let’s do this!
As always, see you in the shed…
Scott 🙂

Your bass tone just kills me. I’ve been a Fendeer P or Jazz bass player for decades and the BB3000S? Never even picked one up! Ha! My friend Carol had one later in her career but then she switched to a BB2000 (I think)…But…it looks like you have a different rear pickup in there. Years ago I played a Fender '63 L-series P-bass on everything I did, and a TV composer (Mike Post; Magnum PI, Rockford Files, Hill St Blues, Quantum Leap…), who I did some TV tracks for told me my P-bass was a little too dark, and maybe I might want to put a Jazz pickup in it with the P-pickups, so I did. Wow… Chaged for the better! But I can’t say it’s as good as what I am hearing here with your BB3000s. Can share what your pickups are? I can’t be the only one that noticed. Ha. It’s a stunning sound, so even, presence, full, just the perfect EQ to speak well in a mix…. Any advice on this will be enormously appreciated! I love. your approach to teaching too! Thanks so much….
Oh wow how did I miss this?
I just randomly came across the video you & Ian posted 3 weeks ago Scott entitled “The 5 Greatest Basses of The 80’s” and I heard you mention Jonathan Maron, so I typed in his name in the YouTube search engine and this video was the first in the list that came up (great meta tagging btw guys ????).
Anyway, just watching this video reopened my brain in a place that I haven’t been in a long time (creatively speaking) and it reminded me of the days when I first started out playing and discovering myself as an aspiring teenage musician and what Jonathan said completely resonated with me, as in school I used to amaze and dumbfound friends and other players that I know were technically far more superior to me, at the speed I could pick up a Bass-line and remember I was asked “how did I do it so fast?” and without hesitation or really realising the depth of what I was saying, I remember replying “I dunno, I just sing it and if I can sing it, I can play it!” And this is without having the greatest fretboard knowledge.. I’d kinda just feel where the notes were and remember! Maybe a touch of young arrogance there, but I really believed what I was saying, as my sister and I used to sing (self taught) and had great voices and great ranges (before I hit puberty that is ????)
The point I’m trying to get to is this (and I apologize to y’all if I’m rambling – I have no GCSE’s ????):-
BUT I FORGOT THATS WHAT I USED TO DO… Sing my lines FIRST!
As I said before; my sis & I used to sing but I could also scat confidently to anything before I could play an instrument.
Now the thing is, I grew up to have a pretty successful life and career as a session player, mainly performing and/or recording other peoples music and/or doing covers which has required great skill and discipline, but very little from ME creatively, which I’m not complaining about, cos I actually love playing to the discipline of good arranged music with great musicians & artists, cos as far as I’m concerned whether it’s a cover or an original, it’s STILL a cover to me, cos I didn’t write it, so no big deal, I love great music & great arrangements… PLUS I actually earn a good living from it too which is most/all musicians dream, BUT I know in my heart that there IS something that’s missing and that thing is CREATIVITY and I also have come to know that creativity brings true fulfilment to the soul, so thank you for your videos in general Scott & Ian, but thank you immensely for this one!!
I still think you guys have the best online Bass education channel. Keep doing your thang, keeping young aspiring and old cats not unlike myself inspired! ????????❤
Did anybody here see the Alien movie where Sigurney Weaver straps into this Robot suit to do battle with the alien monster and she kicks his ass? Jonathan reminds me of that. He is this quiet, soft spoken, gentle guy and the second he straps on the bass he becomes this badass warrior. Very cool.
Oh yeah. Bb3000 and wonderful bassleaks… Thank you
Damn I've been waiting for the older Yamaha basses to come down in price and now they're going to sky rocket
this content
A
I've fallen in love with vintage Yamaha basses recently, I want a BB2000 and BB3000
Jonathan, you have transformed into a deity of the genre! I had no idea. Love this.
Anyone elses like button not working?
His bass sounds like he's using source audio synth distortion
That grove at 1:22 is so killer. It's like Cm9, maybe Fm? I hear that kinda chord progression though, please let me know what that progression or key is please Scott! Been trying to debunk this specific line since this was first uploaded ????????????
Nice to see a top bassist playing a bass that's not like £4000 but a decent Yamaha
Jonathan creates such sick grooves and the #YamahaBB is the most underrated bass in the history of the instrument (except by those who know).
My main Bass is a Yamaha BB 2024 that I adore, which is about to go on a 40 date tour with me.. Loving the videos X
Great video and killer bass! Those Yamaha BBs are super underrated. One of the best basses on the market.
How he make that Sound at 0:55 to 1:04? O_o what pedal is that does anybody know?
I want this course bad
This idiot yaps the same thing about a lesson for 3m22secs. The lesson itself is pretty basic easy stuff you would do anyway????????????
dude was a GIGANTIC REASON THAT I picked up the Bass… IMHO – the most under appreciated bassist alive today .. the GROOVE MASTER!!
Cool vid, nice guy.
Can someone please tell me how he's getting that sound at the end?
That was really eye opening. Thank you!
I thought I was the only one walking around all day making bass sounds with my voice
Audiation is easily as important to musical communication as is technical facility. Fantastic lesson.
I know it is very hard to find a Yamaha 80's bb3000, and this vintage white is very beautiful too. I have a bb2024x white, soon will arrive a 83's bb3000 in red candyapple. The comparison will happens, of course. Want to know if te IRA and ARE in bb2024x turns the bass vintage like the bb3000.
How did he get that sound at 9:40 to 12:10
Great idea to sing my basslines first. Imma try that.
hey it's captainsparklez
Groovy man groovy.
Whats the pedal he's using in the last bit of the video
