This sample lesson is from the Jazz Bass School with John Patitucci. This lesson touches upon playing with expression. He teaches you how to become a vocal and expressive player on the bass. John Patitucci himself learned this lesson by watching singers and other instrumentalists, particularly cellists. When cellists and singers vibrate a note, they vary the vibrato to fit the mood and the pitch you are trying to convey. He also suggests other techniques, such as sliding, smearing, pulling off, and hammering to add more expression to your bass playing. Learn how he practices these in the lesson.

It is only a small sample of dozens of lessons you have to choose from on ArtistWorks Online Jazz Bass School.
