Loan asked:


I am a trained musician who is interested in picking up the bass guitar. I am interested in playing blues and jazz. What is a good beginning bass to learn on and to play in those styles? I am a trained musician (I hold a bachelors degree in music performance) on trumpet, but have always been interested in learning to play bass. I’m not looking to break the bank, but would like something that eventually would be appropriate for basic jams sessions. Any suggestions?

I’ve been heavy into John Mayer lately (link for my cover of “I’m Gonna Find Another You”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsxdfYdcOu0&feature=user ), but looking for some other stuff to play, and possibly sing along with. Any suggestions?
P.s. Vid is not a great representation, but I’m fairly decent at guitar, so don’t worry about difficulty. I don’t want anything really easy, it’s boring to play

A friend of mine got a copy of a burned cd and passed it along to me he does not know the artist, but here is what I do know: The album is all instrumental (with kind of a big band sound), it is a mixture of latin songs and american R&B and jazz recordings, the song “georgia on my mind” is on the album (close to the end of the album), and I think “birdland” is on there as well, some of the latin songs on there i’ve heard before so I think they are latin standards, i’m also thinking it could be a newer release but I could be wrong. Any help is appreciated.

I know the humbucker is somewhat of a noise canceling pickup, but I want to know if it produces a better or different sound. Its for a strat and I play from rock to jazz, so I still want a flexible pickup.

I’m thinking of joining my school’s (college) jazz band on guitar, and i’ve been sight reading some charts but i want to know if the guitarist is supposed to play each one of the chords presented in the chart “as is” or is there more options in jazz on what chords you have to play?i only ask because im reading a chart with a ridiculous amount of chord changes and completely different chords changing in less than one beat.

If would also appreciate any pointers on this particular style of guitar playing or maybe some advice on your approach to reading difficult pieces like these. Thanks

I’m kinda mad because I have to audition for the High School Jazz Band, and I’m really nervous. My other teacher says I can do it, but I’m a lot less confident. Whenever we played jazz music in middle school I loved it, but it seems a whole lot different and confusing. So can someone refer me to any and all jazz bari saxophone players?
