Jazz Standards In The New Studio | Janek's Bass Studio

Psyched to be working in the new studio setup, and today I got into "Out Of Nowhere" to work on some melodic playing through changes.

I'm not "Mr. Jazz Standard", but I really appreciate the discipline it gives me in my practice routine, and helps me work on playing melodically through some dense changes, while trying to stay relaxed and focus on the main goals of any practice session: Time and Sound.

I appreciate you and your work, Janek. For the past couple months I get reminded of that literally every day. Thank you for that. I hope to see you on stage in Europe again soon(ish).

Heitaaaa! Baião/forró by Janek! Dum dum dundum! Nice many colors! Great!

Could definitely be into a Standards record in this bass+beat format.

Out of Nowhere is my favorite standard. So much fun messing with the ii and the #9 sounds! Great video and thanks for sharing! Enjoy the new studio!

I love the new setup!

Are you going to be making any more long-form Practice Room videos? I loved watching those.

Hello Janek! I like the new studio setup...the standard in my playing has been an essential part of my vocabulary as you say. Thanks for your wise words and tips. By the way, how much you weight? I’ve seen you speaking about nutrition and sports in some past videos.

Janek! Freaking love all of this. Weird question and definitely a first for me - what T shirt is that if you don't mind me asking? Looks comfy and kind of the exact fit I need! :P

Any chance you've got ahold of that MXR Thump? Was debating between that and the little Aguilar. Looking forward to the new episode!
