Jayme Lewis Band: Sedagive
Here’s another one of those “make-sure-you’re-sitting-down” videos. Bassist and band leader Jayme Lewis takes us on a musical trip starting with some blazing unison melodies and a ridiculous solo spot before mellowing things out texturally, only to return to the face-melting licks.
Stupendi.
Thanks Giannetto!
Way to go Jayme – what a burning tune!
Jayme is using his DB 751 with two DB 410 cabinets! The title of this song is great – Can you name the movie where this word was first uttered?
Marco, if you like the name of this track then you will also like the name of each song on the album, including it’s title :)
“Sedagive”, as in Young Frankenstein? Just watched that the other day… ironic that I see THIS video now. :)
Yessir, one of my favorite movies ;) The whole album is actually named from Mel Brooks movies
Smokin Stuff!
Thanks Tony!
All I can say is… WOW!
I will raise you 2 WOW’s. First time I have seen a capo used on a bass.
I was wondering about that capo. These guys kick butt, but I’ve never seen a professional use a capo. To me, it is a crutch. .
Hey thanks Dave, I appreciate the kind words! And it’s actually not a capo, it’s called a FretWrap. It’s a string dampener, like the Victor Wooten hair tie, made by GruvGear.
Thank you, Jayme. You guys are like a cat crouched, ready to pounce on the mouse. You’re on top of it. Best to you. .
Hey gents thats not a capo but a band that absorbs background string noise… (Check out vic wooten) Thanks for the laugh though!!!
Oh, well, back to the woodshed. >: (
Hey Neil, that guy is almost as good as you. Lol Really glad to be playing in a band with you.
Whoa!! Awesome!!
@[1183208685:2048:Neil Bertrand] you got this guy. Slow down his stuff using reaper and you can do it. Also buy a delay pedal for the slap bass stuff. What’s the name of this band? Aryan fusion? : )
Aryan Fusion! LMBO! Actually, the guy is a believer. Check out his website http://www.jaymelewis.com, He’s written a book, ‘Advice For Worship Musicians”
Sweet!
Thanks Neil, much appreciated. And please don’t slow it down in Reaper, you’ll hear all my mistakes ;) Hope all is well!
No problem, Jayme. You’re an incredible talent. Listening to Sedagive was the kick in the pants I needed to move past the comfort zone I’ve been in for a while.
thanks dude, glad I could help :)
Hey Jayme sorry for the Aryan fusion comment! )I didn’t think the video poster actually read any of the comments). I bought your book on itunes book store and am reading through it. Great analogies and illustrations to show how a worship team works together as an ensemble.
I also dig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWozDeFM84E&feature=relmfu
like Adam Nitti ;).
wowzers… holy technique!
wow nice!
Thanks dude, that means a lot comin from you! and btw I still laugh about you fixin tires on the 405 every time I play sweet home alabama :)
HA! man, you just DESTROYED that tune (in the best of ways, of course). Amazing stuff Jayme!). It’s like you were a combine and we were all a field of wheat… ;)
Pros: superb musicianship!
Cons: 70’s style fusion is still appreciated by a small handful, VERY SMALL!!!!!!
Damn Jayme, that’s killer!
Thanks dude!
really impressive Jayme, could you give us a tab of the head?
Where are these guys from? Monsters!
Thanks Jay, we’re glad you enjoy it! And actually I’ve transcribed the entire album note for note, as well as play-along jam tracks and some instructional videos at http://www.lajamtrax.com. Send me your e-mail in a message and I’ll give you the head of Sedagive :) And Sam we’re from Los Angeles.
Yea man……nice! Where can I locate your material? I need this to feed my soul!
Thanks Xavier! you can go to my web site http://www.jaymelewis.com and see all the different places you can get it. It’s on iTunes, bandcamp (for free) and there’s even jam tracks/transcriptions and more at http://www.lajamtrax.com
Thanks for the kind words! Peace!
I’m a nobody but that was incredible. GREAT stuff! Awesome tone sir! What type of pedals were you using?
incredible….
Thanks Tristan! There’s a tone of stuff in there, but it’s mostly the Source Audio Multiwave Bass Distortion and FEA Labs comps. That and the Aguilar/A-Designs equipment :)
GIVE HIM A SEDAGIVE! Am I the only one that saw the title of this tune and died laughing? Young Frankenstein?
you’ll most likely appreciate the rest of the album titles then ;)
WoW! (O.o) Jayme, you and your mates are top notch on this tune. That was impressive from start to finish. That bass is killer. It’s performances like this that reinvigorate my love for music.
Thanks Jeff, glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely killer!
Ok, I have gear for sale now……….hate you Jayme…….hate you…..lol!
I don’t think I’ve ever been as inspired as I am right now. Jayme, you have another huge fan in me.
Awesome technique and chops. The fast stuff is really clean.
where are my socks?, i had em when I started this track, awesome chops.
z’all right I guess…….:-)…… my computer’s CPU and my ears are on fire… nice stuff!
Awesome track! What are those black straps that you slide down the neck of the guitar?
If Dream Theater went funky, it would sound like this.
Tasty Tune!
great chops… sounds like they’ve been listening to Alain Caron and UZEB for a while.
I lost my feel and taste for music for a long time, but after hearing your band it’s given me a jolt………I got the feeling…….and I need the music back in my life and soul…..
Jayme, this track is phenomenal. I’ll be studying much harder for now on! Superb musicianship.
Awesome! Hey Jayme, could you give us a low down on your pedals. I especially like your sound on the rock part. :)
OHMYGOD! A technically brilliant bass player who DOESN’T play absolute soulless rubbish. DOUBLE WOW!
