Poliana Magalhães: Jamiroquai’s “Runaway” Playalong

A few months ago, Marta Altesa impressed us with her play-along to Jamiroquai’s “Time Won’t Wait”. We just heard from another impressive young bassist, Poliana Magalhães, who shared some of her videos with us. This play-along to Jamiroquai’s “Runaway” is a lot of fun. Poliana said, “I tried not play like the original song. It’s just a simple version.” Whatever...

Jomyloon: Funk 2

Jomyloon: Funk 2

When I started to get into bass playing about nine years ago, Victor Wooten was the guy I was looking up to and learning the most from. Judging by the playing of John Oz (AKA “Jomyloon”), I’d say that this might also be the case with him. The Victor influence is definitely there, and that’s not a bad thing. Check...

Evan Marien sent me the latest of his duo with drummer Dana Hawkins. This time around, they’re performing the tune “Sweatn.” I’ve said it before… these guys just knock me out. How about you?

Simon Fitzpatrick: “Roundabout” Live Solo Bass Performance

Simon Fitzpatrick: “Roundabout” Live Solo Bass Performance

Simon Fitzpatrick is a guy who constantly pushes himself to see what can be done on the bass. Here’s the latest example: an incredibly intricate solo bass version of the classic Yes track “Roundabout.” After putting it all together with just his bass and his hands, Fitzpatrick builds the piece with a looper to lay a superb solo overtop.

Dante Pascuzzo: Inner Urge

Dante Pascuzzo: Inner Urge

Bassist Dante Pascuzzo arranged this cool version of Joe Henderson’s “Inner Urge,” which takes the jazz standard and adds a electronica break beat to it. Pascuzzo lays down some fat upright bass before chording and soloing with his 5-string electric. Dig it.

This year I [will] try to learn and upload a solo to my Youtube channel every (or every other) week,” he shared with us. “That is to keep...
