As a challenge to myself, I'm trying to I'll write/record something new, anything new, every day of January 2011, just so long as it's "a complete musical statement" (whatever that means). I'll be using Garage Band, so the quality level of sequencing probably won't be that high, but this is mainly just so I can get my creative chops going. This first one is a little spastic and jumps around a lot from idea to idea without ever really coalescing, but there might be a nugget of something worth keeping in there, I don't know. Here's the score. Sorry about the camera angle not really capturing my bass playing...whoops. http://adamneely.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/1.pdf

I'll be using Garage Band, so the quality level of sequencing probably won't be that high, but this is mainly just so I can get my creative chops going. This second one is based on an idea I've worked out in the past - the first 4 measures is meant to be heard one way (and 1, and 2, and 3, and 4), but the rhythmic scheme gets turned around once the bass/drums come in. That 5/4 groove is something I might want to keep for later, otherwise, it came out decent. Here's the score. http://adamneely.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/2.pdf

I'll be using Garage Band, so the quality level of sequencing probably won't be that high, but this is mainly just so I can get my creative chops going. This third one is a little out, but I think it works all right. It's a 5-bar passacaglia in D whole tone, with a canon in Eb whole tone superimposed on top, with a free melody voice in Eb whole tone on top of that. Weird. It eventually settles down into a groovey thing based on the free melody. Enjoy? Here's the score. http://adamneely.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/number-3.pdf

This fourth one is a minimalist piano tune, performed by yours truly, on a really cruddy old MIDI controller with plastic keys and the worst possible action, so excuse the performance please. I tried to make it as simple as I possibly could, and yet keep it feeling very "unsettled." Here's the score, enjoy! http://adamneely.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/number-4.pdf

I'll be using Garage Band, so the quality level of sequencing probably won't be that high, but this is mainly just so I can get my creative chops going. This is number 5, a fairly stylistically consistent ragtime. You can see that I have a rather diverse taste in composition, given the previous offerings, haha. This one had to be sequence, unfortunately, because I just don't have anywhere near the piano technique to play it - hence the lack of a video. It's the classic ragtime formula, including modulating to the key of the IV after the recap of the A, although I did sneak in a rather anachronistic bluesy lick towards the end of it all. Check out the score down here. Enjoy! http://adamneely.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/number-5.pdf

I'll be using Garage Band, so the quality level of sequencing probably won't be that high, but this is mainly just so I can get my creative chops going. Number 6 here is just a nice little melody in 6/8 that repeats three times with different harmonizations every time. Nothing special, but still fun. Enjoy. Here's the score. http://adamneely.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/number-6.pdf

Number 7 is pretty much just a parody of math metal. It's nothing but tritones (actually, all 6 tritones happening at once) and the pattern is based upon the Fibbonacci sequence. Yes. I went there. Here's the score. http://adamneely.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/number-7.pdf

I'll be posting all of them up on my website at... http://adamneely.com/videosmusic/new-composition-a-day-challenge-january-2011/ Number 9 here is a nice little psychotic waltz in Lydian b3. The bridge is a jazzier thing with a new, specific harmonic technique I was trying out...which kinda failed...it kind of sounds like crap. However, the waltz bit I enjoy rocking out to.

I'll be posting all of them up on my website at... http://adamneely.com/videosmusic/new-... Number 10 is based upon the idea of "confused" rhythm, which is something I seem to really dig. It almost sounds like two separate, unrelated tempos and music at the beginning....very Charles Ives. Take your pick as to whether or not you like it. I lifted the 5/8 guitar ostinato straight from Billy Child's In Carson's eyes of his album Lyric....great record. Here's the score. http://adamneely.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/number-10.pdf

Number 13 here is an attempt at a Strayhorn/Ellington style ballad. Part of the reason why I don't normally write in this style is because, like probably only Bach before him, Ellington reached absolutely mastery of the music, and to try and write like he did is rather depressing, actually, haha. Still, I had a lot of fun with this, playing piano too!

Groovey little chord solo thing to Autumn Leaves. I recorded this a while ago, but it's just now going up, for some reason. Enjoy! The bass is a Washburn AB-40, and its way sexy, although I do miss the high C string for chord melody stuff.

Messing around with the classic made popular by Louis Armstrong. Bass is a Washburn AB-40 strung with TI Acousticore nylon strings.
Solo free improvisation for bass guitar in any real sense beyond random wankery is almost non-existent, and it's something that I've been checking out recently. "Free improvisation" is definitely not the same as free jazz, and it doesn't me playing "out" versus "in." It simply means creating a logical and well-constructed piece of music with little to no given structure. For examples of great solo instrumental free improvisation, check out Keith Jarrett's the Koln concert, or Dave Liebman's The Tree. Skip to about 4 minutes in if you want to check out the free improv without the chatter.
My stab at a few solo bass ideas I've been working on one of Chopin's most famous preludes. Bass is Washburn AB-40 with TI Acousticore strings.
The sad truth about being a working bassist revealed...
This is another fivesploration, (exploration of 5/4....yeah...) as well as a means of messing with some of my pedals (ring mod! yay!). I think this is the debut of my P on this channel...woohoo? It's the best Mexican Fender I've ever played, and it's my go-to "working mans" bass right now. It's also strung with super heavy strings, which gets it a nice and fat sound. 2010 MIM Fender P, EHX Bass Big Muff, EHX Frequency Analyzer Ring Mod, Boss OC-2 direct in to Garage Band 2007.

The music to this was actually recorded 2 years ago, but I originally tracked the bass part piecemeal. I decided to go back and relearn the music and do it in one take...and it was not easy. Like....I really had to shed the crap out of this. It's long, boring, jazz, and you'll probably get tired of how awesome it is by the 8th minute of it. Sorry for the crappy webcam quality of the video, but it's all for the music! Many thanks to the talented Emma Boroson for singing the insane shit I gave her to sing.

Take charge of the harmony and direction of the music with bass note reharmonization! A sure fire way to impress people with your mad bass skills and also piss off a controlling keyboard player or two. The bass I was using in this video was a Samick Corsair short scale bass (25") strung with long scale strings originally tuned BEAD (from a 5 string) to EADG standard. The string tension is comparable to a normal 4-string bass, but with a much smaller scale length.

4:3 is a powerful polyrhythmic ratio and the basis of a lot of pop music songwriting and bass rhythms of the past 10 years or so. It's important to understand how to feel this structure and also give it musical context so that you, the bass player, can groove within it and make it sound awesome.

Metronome games are means of using the metronome in unusual ways to unlock a stronger sense of internal rhythm and rhythm awareness. They are games that you always win if you play, because people who practice with metronomes are always winners! Bon Jovi's music will never die. Peace, Adan
A canon is a melody that sounds good when two or more people perform it together, but starting on different times. These are also called rounds. Row Row Row Your Boat #gentlydownthestream is a famous one. Imitative counterpoint has a long history in Western Music, so why not learn how to canon with best of em? Peace, Adam

In this installment of Adam Neely's Bass Lessons we take a look at something called the ever-expanding triplet, looking at ways to perform eighth note triplets, quarter note triplets, and every iteration of a basic triplet on up to quadruple whole note triplets. I originally got this idea from a lab taught by David Clark at Berklee, he's a fantastic teacher if you ever get a chance to study with him. Peace, Adam
Using "the lick," we learn about some of the basic concepts of harmonizing saxophones in a big band context. Block voicing are the simplest way of dealing with harmony, and can yield some very nice musical results. If you like this video, please be sure to like and subscribe! Adam
Hey! Playing bass guitar through a laptop system can be a useful (and at times extremely frustrating) endeavor for performing live electronic music. I break down how the band for electro pop artist Micky Blue uses their laptops so you can see what goes into performing this music. It's a rewarding enterprise if you stick it out, but there are some things to keep in mind if you'd like do do one of these setups.

This video turned out a lot more cynical than I intended, so I just wanted to emphasize the fact that music school was a formative event in my life and career, and I recommend that if you are afforded the opportunity, you should go!

Thank you to Joe Fourstrings, Paulo Peirera, Chi Ill, Xaq Rothman, and Kim Young for their questions, this was kind of a fun one to do "off the cuff" and not with a script. Please keep asking questions, guyz, this was totally fun. More crazy videos on the way, I swear!
Yes, it's kind of a weird concept, but in practice it works really well to get a specific sort of acoustic bass guitar sound in a recording environment. This definitely isn't something that you'd do on a gig, but when you don't have an acoustic bass guitar handy, this works well! Try it out, and let me know how it goes! Peace, Adam
In addition to laying the foundations for modern philosophical thought, Nietzche also could play a mean bass. In this video I talk about the Apollonian and the Dionysian, what they meant for Nietzche, and what they mean for you as a bass player and a performer of music. Peace, Adam

COMMENT RESPONSE VIDEO HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZJzjCiC1No Support me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/adamneely Rhythm is treated very differently in classical music from the sharp precision that other musics might require - it's organic and fluid. Recognizing this difference and being sensitive to the nature of rhythm itself in different contexts is important if you're trying to bridge gaps between different styles of musicianship. I recognize also that I come off as pompous and harsh sometimes with my critiques of - the musicians who played on inside//outside's record were absolutely phenomenal and had to learn and record the music in a very short amount of time.

We know the interval of a tritone today as "diabolus in musica," or the devil in music, but was it really always associated with evil? Are all of those metal musicians right in thinking that this interval is the sound of evil incarnate?

In the 17th century, Athanasius Kircher described an instrument with which we humans have had an intense and abiding fascination. Why? Well, it's either for its taboo nature, or because we just think it's the funniest thing on the planet.

Tuning A to 432 hz may yield the answers to the question that so many people ask themselves - why does my music not feel the way that I hear in my head? Why is it that so much of the music that I hear out in the real world feels so...plastic-y and false when I know it could be so much more? Actually, no it won't yield those answers. It's basically just a big new age circle jerk. But the weird internet obsession with A=432 does bring up some interesting questions about the history of how we got to our current standard, A=440, and why some people might dabble in lower tuning systems.

I toured Central Asia with the 5-piece jazz rock band Aberdeen on behalf of the American State Department for three weeks in May. In other words, I was a j a z z diplomat, and it was seriously one of the most amazing and surreal experiences of my life! The band I was playing bass with was Aberdeen.... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy6oGt2M3JjUZ51sRBeqb5g We went to Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia, two countries I would never have had the opportunity to go to without a program like American Music Abroad. This program is a direct descendant of similar tour that American jazz bands embarked upon during the 1950's and 1960's to promote American cultural interests around the world at the height of the Cold War. It was an incredible honor to be following in the footsteps of luminaries like Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Dizzie Gillespie and Louis Armstrong. (BTW, the term I used in the beginning of the video, “Jazz Propaganda” should be taken totally tongue-in-cheek as a joke and definitely not literally! We played gigs and conducted educational workshops) Thanks to Mia, our tour manager over at American Music Abroad, the US embassies in Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan, the people of Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan, and everybody who made this tour possible.

Ya like jazz? You will! There are 7 levels of Jazz Harmony, and we'll explore each of them through reharmonizing the chorus of one of my favorite tunes from 2019 - Lizzo's Juice. Thanks to Jae Soto for singing! OUTRO TRACK (Dilla Beat + Intonalist Harmony) https://adamneelymusic.bandcamp.com/track/it-aint-my-fault Level 1 - "Bell Pepper" - II-V’s and other basic tonal movements Level 2 - "Poblano Pepper" - Sub V’s and other stuff Level 3 - "Jalepeño Pepper" - Crazy chromatic extensions Level 4 - "Piri Piri Pepper"- Constant Structures and Pedal Point Level 5 - "Habenero Pepper"- Free non-functional harmony Level 6 - "Ghost Pepper"- Liberated Dissonance Level 7 - "???" - Xenharmony These 7 levels aren't meant to be exhaustive in terms of the harmonic techniques of jazz musicians - there really are way too many to get into for a single YouTube video - but they can be useful as a general guide to the FEELING of different kinds of harmonic ideas. As an added bonus, they're roughly in chronological order in terms of when each level occurred on the timeline of jazz history, although no single musician was ever working so formally.

Get 30% OFF your first bag of coffee with Trade Coffee when you click here http://bit.ly/tradeneely and use my code NEELY Thanks for asking insightful questions! Follow me on instagram if you'd like. Or not. I just post a lot of extra content there. OH, also, had to edit my answer to the video's title a bit because the audio got messed up and so it wasn't really a full answer, but to add on to what I mentioned... READ a lot of music, and do it frequently. IMSLP.org is a great resource for a lot of free, legal out-of-print sheet music, and going through and reading as much as you can will give you tons of practice. Reading sheet music is like reading a foreign language, which can be brutally difficult in the beginning, but eventually becomes as natural as "speaking" language, like performing music. It just takes time and lots of patience.

It's in D. Thanks for watching! Actually, it might be a bit more complicated than that. It, along with many other songs in Rock and Pop music, uses a chord loop vamp as its harmonic scheme, and because of that, it might show something that ethnomusicologist Peter Manuel calls "Dual Tonicity." So...it's kind of in both the key of D and G at the same time. Neat!

Tik Tok and spicy harmony do not mix. Tik Tok has recently imploded over a young singer who sang harmony to Matt Maltese’s As the World Caves in. Why? Well, it’s the legacy of Palestrina, Fux and the long shadow of Western European aesthetics in the modern global musical ecosystem. Let’s dive into it.

Olivio Rodrigo's 2021 song good 4 u sounds suspiciously similar to Paramore's 2007 song Misery Business, but was it stolen? Copyright establishes the legal authority for rent-seeking corporatism and actively impedes cultural expression, but yeah, she kinda copied her homework.
Laufey is the world's most famous living jazz musician (according to Spotify streams) But is she ACTUALLY playing jazz? Maybe?
Continuing the Tantacrulian tradition of chess metaphors in music notation.
This is not a youtube quitting video, but also, it's not not a youtube quitting video.
Planes, trains and polyrhythms. Sungazer toured Europe last November, and a lot of things happened along the way. 0:00 Intro 0:41 OETELDONK 2:24 Arrival in Haarlem 4:30 Soundcheck/setup and stuff 5:52 Avant George in Haarlem 6:55 Sungazer in Haarlem 7:57 Traveling to Helsinki 10:02 STOCKHOLM AIRPORT RUN (!!) 11:43 The aftermath 13:53 Sungazer in Helsinki
Chechnya's Cultural Minister just banned all music outside of 80-116BPM...why? well.... This is probably just a clever way to make sure that Lezginka is legal (which is crazy fast, but whose half time tempo fits within this window) but foreign music like House and Techno does not.
AI will get vibed at the jam session, and there's nothing that it can about it.
- Why does Meet the Grahams sound scary? - Is A# and Bb the same? - How do you jam over the internet with latency? - Have you ever played in a professional big band? - Cool guitar chord? - Does E7 resolve to Cmaj7? - How do you handle negative criticism of your music? - I’m a beginner, how do I improvise? - What is your view on piano-centric music education? - How do you feel about opening for Snarky Puppy?
Talking 11-tuplets, advanced 4/4, and Sungazer!
Dancing to some metrically modulating polyrhythms!
Also, is "real jazz" in NYC, and why tune to EADGC.
COD IN THE MID00000l - why does every pop singer of the past 20 years sing in like that?
This is how we built Sungazer's latest IEM rig using an analog audio over ether net split.
Music from the Introduction: Gustav Holst - The Planets (Mars, Bringer of War) National Youth Orchestra of Canada, Michael Francis (conductor) (In the spirit of fake performances, I altered this recording a bit to better fit the timing of the YouTube video)
