Interview & Performance with John Goldsby
Last week, we released a popular interview with John Goldsby on how to learn a jazz standard, with a bonus solo performance of a Charles Mingus’ Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, and got some great comments!
We think you’ll really like this week’s interview too, where John discusses common technical problems for jazz bassists, and more importantly, how to fix them! He demonstrates common left-hand and right-hand technical issues and offers advice on how to improve your basic technique, and he gives us a rundown of his own full-sounding right-hand style.
Plus, at the end of the interview (06:14), there is a groovy solo performance of This Can’t Be Love by Rodgers and Hart. You won’t want to miss it!
