Pablo Elorza: Bass Solo Chord Melody
Bassist and educator Pablo Elorza recently posted a new blog on exercises for musicians. Part of the lesson is a video with stretches to warm up before or after a playing session.
The bassist composed this beautiful bass solo to accompany the video, and it’s just as inspiring as the information. Elorza crafts a lyrical melody complete with chordal backing.
Be sure to check out the stretches, too:
Great piece of solo bass goodness… very appreciative for the stretching video. This is something I’ve only been doing for a couple of years now. Not religiously though I should be. I’ve been dealing with a few physical issues that are hindering my playing a bit. If I would have started a stretching routine years back I’m convinced I won’t have the aches, pains, and limitations I deal with now. Live and Learn… and slappa da bass!!! : ) Again, great music and videos!
p.s . wouldn’t, not won’t – my bad.
Thank you very much Kevin and to all the guys at No Treble! You are the Best!
Beautiful!
Beautiful : ) It’s so nice to hear bass as a melodic instrument. You play beautifully..
Some very good looks at stretching for healthy playing ….this type of stretching is good for everyday life,but is especially beneficial for bassists .Thanks Pablo .
