Soloing Lesson by Katie Thiroux
This lesson is from Katie Thiroux’s new course for Intermediate/Advanced bassists:
Bandstand and Beyond
In this lesson, we are joined by our incredible jazz bass specialist, Katie Thiroux, who shares a highly effective exercise to improve your bass solos! It's a fantastic approach to phrasing, that can make your solos sound a lot more interesting. Whilst the concept is relatively easy to understand, it's a real challenge to do well, so be sure to try it yourself to see why!
In the video, Katie is joined in the studio by her bandmates, Matt Witek on drums and Sam Watts on piano. Huge thanks to Katie and the band for these inspiring demonstrations.
