Mats Ödahl: Charlie Parker Solo Bass Play-Along
Bassist Mats Ödahl sent us this remarkable video he made of himself playing along to a Charlie Parker solo.
Mats has some lofty goals, which he seems to be living up to.
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 myself motivated to transcribe stuff and to maybe inspire others in some way.”
He also said he “would be happy to get some feedback.” Let him know what you think in the comments!

Hey man, what’s your bass background? Any training or did you just pick it up?
I picked the bass up when I was 13, playing rock and heavy metal with some friends of mine. I started studying music in school when I turned 16. From that time on I became eager to learn all kinds of music. I’m 22 now, studying on a bachelor of music program. Right now I focus on jazz and learning the upright bass, while doing some freelance gigs and playing with my bands The Napkins (https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Napkins/148357248559150?fref=ts) and Hipster Slayer (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hipster-Slayer/286918161434700?fref=ts) :)
MAN. That was clean.
Nice work ,Mats …. The future holds some great pathways for you playing bass .Best wishes !!
