I was thinking about continuing learning the Piece of Time album. Maybe I should learn the first three songs off Unquestionable Presence? Any real bass players here?

You should start learning different styles, start with James Jamerson (Motown) and Bootsy Collins (funk).

Both of these artists have made me a better bass player.

what's a good free from jazz bassist to learn from? I don't really dig funk or mo town...a lot of music I listen to is based off jazz theory and influenced by jazz (lots of jazz chords, progressions, etc).

also, what's a good place to start with jazz theory? I know a few simple chords and such but would like to further my knowledge with it!

thanks PA!

Charles Mingus is the quintessential jazz bassist of course

You don't know much about music do you? Just because you google jazz bassist doesn't mean you know much about free form jazz, theory, or anything else about music. get out of this forum.

funny that I typed in jazz bassist into google, went to the first link, and charles mingus was #1 on the list. get the fuck out of here.

If you're just getting into jazz stuff... a good band that's more modern sounding jazz to check out is Medeski, Martin, and Wood. I listened to them a lot when I first started getting into jazz lessons, some pretty groove oriented stuff there to jam on. Their rhythm section is one of my favorites.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgyHqJ4U1UE

Their album "Out Louder" is a good starting point if you dig them.

As far as sites, I dig http://www.jazzguitar.be/ , obviously it doesn't cater to bass, but theres some theory stuff on there that I'm sure would be useful. (Chord construction, different modes, etc)

I've been trying to teach myself theory, I'm still begining with it, but my friend who teaches me now and then tells me I know a lot more than I think I do, I was learning from him strictly for jazz but due to our schedules I haven't gone much further than the blues and minor scales :lol:

Don't bother with music you don't listen to or things you don't want to learn. That will make playing boring.

This is probably the best book I own on theory and bass playing. It filled in the gaps about what I knew about theory nicely and at the end of the book it has a shitload of scales. If nothing else it's cool to open up to the last pages and find a scale and then write something in that scale. You come up with some weird sounding shit.

Mingus is one of my favorite musicians you dumbshit, I'm quite versed in Jazz as it's one of my favorite genres.

He's the most famous jazz bassist, so you're an idiot :lol:

You need to hang yourself, especially because your stupid ass didn't know who he is. Fuck :lll:

I've owned most of Mingus's recorded works for many years, ain't nothing to try for.

Stanley Clarke is fucking rediculous. Journey to Love is the shit.

Stanley Clarke, Mike Dimin, Gerald Veasley.

Hektik, I'm not a huge fan of "learning" jazz, but love to watch/listen to it.
It's all about the "flava" :tup:

Paul Chambers? His body of work speaks for itself...

Also, all this Ashley Nichole/Motorhead, etc. argument garbage needs to stay out of here. It is a few steps away from having a 10 page argument about Subway microwaves.

I want to learn it so i can incorporate it into metal, kind of like Atheist, Cynic, Aghora, Virulence, and a handful of other metal bands have done. It sounds awesome when pulled off right, but I'm sure you gotta know years of theory.

Mingus is far more well known and famous.

I'm not going to argue, personally I just find it amazing the amount of classics Chambers has played on.

Anyway, it's pretty obvious you are trying to bait Hektik into a multi-page back and forth tantrum. So get on that.
