it is amazing how Chelsea plays those big jumps whithout ever looking once at the fingerboard!! which to me is a sign that she might be able to sight read effortlessly.

There is always something magical about Janek scatting with his solos!!! It’s honestly perfect!!!

[BrianJFox-yswx]

Your reaction to the blues was deeply moving, Janek. The two of you playing together was a lot of fun, and it's really a great testament to your relationship that Chelsea simply played without any worry about judgement. Thanks for that, both of you.

Can my comment please get a bunch of likes so Janek will notice and teach us how to play that killin' ascending lick from 7:30 to 7:36

Great stuff Janek! Terrific as always.

Some say "birds of the same feather, flock toghter"... Others claim that "opposites attract". But honestly, no matter who or how we are, sharing your passion is the strongest bond I can imagine between two individuals. Great symbiosis!

[DarrenD]

Janek, you are one of the luckiest guys in the world! You and your girl both love playing bass! You two are probably one of only 10 couples in the *entire world* who both play bass, and play together (even if only for the vlogs).
You guys are too cool!

[MarcoH]

So cool to see the two of you finally playing together. Chelsea really has the floating thumb technique down.

[carlitoscuba]

she certainly doesn't need to solo woth those killing walking bass lines

[gabriellago]

you can see Chelsea slowly falling in love from 7:13 - 7:36

[peinmilan]

Please don't stop her playing the low B string. That was the best part at around 8:17... :)

[jazzbrew]

Question for Chelsea - I've noticed that bass players who play upright swing incredibly on electric, a lot of times more than someone who plays electric only. Do you have any thoughts as to why that might be? How does upright help when it comes to walking bass over standards.

Great playing by both you. One of my favorite episodes so far.

[calolson]

Awesome vlog, on so many levels! What a treat to hear you two playing together!

[markwilliamson]

love the sound of that bottom string on the 6 string!

[newmanowor]

Chelsea has some serious groove. this is awsm. Good job You two.

[urmero]

She's awesome. and has excellent timing and inventiveness creating walking lines.

[oscarsantos]

Greetings from Portugal! Of all the bass channels on YouTube, this is why I watch yours more! Great playing! Keep it up!

[pcmca]

Best vlog ever i really enjoyed your playing ... and the "I've got neighbours don't forget" really got me :D

[Yaksonator]

You seem really happy, Janek. For a little while the light left your eyes, seems like its back now! Happy for you brother! Keep on keeping on!

[dusanbass]

Dat F-bass is godly! It still looks and sounds terrific to me! Awesome playing from both of you jazz cats! Love

[DrBulbulia]

You gotta savour ripper days likes this when they come your way in life. Congrats to you both on so many fronts. Can't wait to see the upright/electric duo, in time (as it were).
