For us fledgling bassists and the pros too! This is an awesome version of great tune.
Fantastic! So much to unpack in there. To my ear if you were to, in the first instance, study section by section, and just get the idea of what is going on you would have the basics of everything you need as a platform to launch your playing into new areas.
It’s a Masterclass. I think he drops into a Phrygian mode in the free form part at around 3 :14. As a study it would be interesting to ad lib with the section in Phrygian and tease out some of the subtleties that you can’t get from the outside.
I suggest you don’t need much more as a basis to develop some phenomenal playing.
In my experience it’s not the notes, it’s the place the notes are coming from! And it’s as much what you don’t play as what you do
Quite a few bassists participated on the project. I thank them all.
