Are you doing slap bass all wrong?... with Andrew Gouche

Показать описание

Today I’ve got the Godfather of Gospel bass, Andrew Gouche with me in the hot seat…

Prince, MJ, Chaka Khan… he’s performed with them all.

And in this new lesson Andrew’s sharing some of his approaches to playing slap bass, and sharing why some bass players may be approaching slap bass in the wrong way.

In this lesson Andrew’s going to be teaching you:
- Who his biggest influence was (can you guess?… lemme know in the comments!)
- Why he completely changed his slap bass technique after years of playing
- Why slap bass is so much more than just a “fancy trick”
- And much more

As always, see you in the shed…

Scott :)

I can relate to his story about his exploding thumb. Back when I just started playing bass I was in a punkband and during our fist gig I noticed my strings were really sticky after the second song. Turns out I split open the tips of both my index and middle fingers. Had to keep playing because, you know, rock n roll and stuff so after the show I went to lookfor bandaids....turns out the singer fell into a piece of glass when he went into the pit. My arm and his leg completely covered in blood...it was a good first gig.

I heard Andre trying out a bass at a music store in LA back in 1998 when he was not so well known. Didn’t know who he was but got his number. I knew he was special.
That said there is NO substitute for the kind of sound you get when your right hand is coming two feet off the bass like Louis Johnson. I once scatted and rapped a duet with Louis when he was working the La Bella Booth at the NAMM show. We drew a huge crowd just me and him. I had no mic and he had NO AMP ! Just his Music Man bass . The sound was MASSIVE !

That was great bass playing to listen to. Most often I would describe fancy bass playing has hard to play and equally hard to listen to, but this was groovy and tasteful

Yeah, now that's some serious bass playing right there... We're in the presence of greatness.

I love all your lessons and interviews. Have you ever thought of e-q-ing the mixes so we can hear the bass better?

Thanks for reposting this segment, Scott. It is always cool to check out reminder segments from your content... so much info! Kind of like re-reading a book or seeing a film more than once... brings out a new take on the lesson. And awesome playing of course, from Andrew!
