Editorial Reviews
Both the Electric Bass and Electric Bass 2 videos in DVD format. Electric Bass is a complete guide to grooving with a drummer in 15 styles, including funk, samba, reggae, jazz, shuffle, baiao, Latin, and rock. John provides examples in each style and discusses major influences and variations. Includes an extensive discussion/ demonstration of technique (on the four-string bass). (85 min.) In Electric Bass 2, John offers insight into soloing by stressing the importance of ear-training. He takes some of the mystery out of the six-string bass by showing how it is tuned, its amazing range, and by offering many examples of its applications. Includes performances of John's compositions plus a live clip with the Chick Corea Elektric Band.

valuable for intermediate+ players,
By pounding on the keyboard "wantaknow" (Bay area CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John Pattitucci: Complete Electric Bass, Vol. 1 and 2 (DVD)
Patitucci is an excellent teacher, but not entirely comfortable in front of camera. He covers most of the basics: posture, left and right hand action, strength/flexibility/independence exercises: spiderwalking, pulloffs with other fingers locked. The harmony/theory sections assume you have a decent command of the basics.
The bonus footage of him and Steve Bailey, and of Jaco (clips from other Alfred DVDs, i think) are fun to watch. Some drawbacks of DVD version: - a lot (50%) of footage uses 6-string, which is still relatively uncommon, and forces you to figure your own fingerings/transposes if you don't have one. - much of the footage after the initial clinic chapters, JP playing with recorded backup or with Drummer D Weckl live, is not close up, so not that helpful. YOu can listen, you can't watch JP's hand action carefully. - sound is printed through on original analog master tapes, i.e. you can hear a faded "preview" of Patittucci talking before he starts talking. Not a big deal.

Don't waste your money.,
This review is from: John Pattitucci: Complete Electric Bass, Vol. 1 and 2 (DVD)
This is not what you're thinking. This DVD is merely two hours of the "flamboyant" John Patitucci playing songs. He does not show any of his riffs to you, he plays them at full speed so it takes forever to find the pattern. This is $30.00 I'll never have back!

This review is from: John Pattitucci: Complete Electric Bass, Vol. 1 and 2 (DVD)
This is a great basic instructional DVD, John goes into some great fingering exercises to build dexterity and strenght that all good bass players. Recommend this as one of the basics of a good instructional library.
