Study my bass lines, solos, and the harmonic and melodic concepts behind them to develop fluency, strengthen phrasing, and expand improvisational vocabulary.
Videos are structured in three parts: 1) a complete improvised bass line and solo; 2) a detailed bar-by-bar lesson, and 3) a slow practice version. Each lesson follows this complete musical process. You first hear, then you examine the material bar by bar, finally, you practice the material with the slower take.
This single Play Along video follows the same three-part structure as the Play Along membership. If you want to study on more standards, the full Play Along course provides ongoing access to all videos and new regularly released standards.
Jazz Bass Academy is an online jazz bass school founded by New York bassist and arranger Gianluca Renzi. It provides structured study paths and private lessons for upright and electric bass players, from beginners to advanced musicians.
