Things seem to be a little different this time around though, and I'm excited to share with you what makes this one of the most musical builds I've ever completed. Enjoy, JanekP.S.

I'm programming new sounds for my HX Stomp today, and getting into some fundamental and more importantly useful sounds for regular bass players. As much as the YouTube algorithm might feed you some of the more flashy and soloistic moments of my career, the bigger portion of my bass playing life has been spent in the lower register of the instrument holding the band together. With that in mind, I would like to put some more useable presets out into the world, and I just started breaking the ice in today's podcast with the HX Stomp and what might be possible.You can get my existing HX Stomp Preset Pack HERE https://janekgwizdala.com/store/line6-presetsAnd fresh copies of Bass Player's Guide to Pentatonics just arrived last night.

It's been quite the weekend with the laundry room flooding and cascading down into my studio, soaking a bunch of pedals on the shelves you see in so many of my videos. I'm a couple of days into the drying out process and am hoping most things can be recovered. But the fact that I was pouring water out of an overdrive pedal like it was a teapot, kind of hints at a few things being permanently buggered. Positive foot forward though! I'm bringing back more regular episodes of The Pedal Studio, and need all your suggestions on what pedals you want to hear and which companies I should reach out to for gear to feature on the show. Leave your comments below the youtube video as that really helps the algorithm, and if you're not subscribed to the channel do that now! The bigger the channel grows, the more high-profile guests I'm able to attract for the podcast, and the more exotic pieces of gear I'm able to feature in demo videos.

Did you know that you're probably practicing pentatonic scales the wrong way? Peter Martin shows you an exercise to fix your fingering.For full length piano lessons with Peter Martin, check out https://www.openstudiojazz.com/piano========================================================What's goin' on everybody? Peter Martin here for 2 Minute Jazz. Want to talk to you about pentatonics. I've got a brand new exercise for you over C minor, or E flat major, however you wanna think about it. And we go through two different levels, three different rhythms for each one. The first thing we're doing, we're starting down here, an octave below middle C. Too many of you are practicing only in this [upper] range of the instrument and then you end up soloing only in these two octaves. We got great stuff down here. Great little tenor region of the piano we wanna explore. So if you wanna play it, you gotta practice in there, okay?So we're going up. And then we're (on four) coming down and here's our shape, skipping. Lots of use of the four. A lot of you are just playing with one two three and there's some false information goin' out here that you only have to use three fingers. We've got five fingers. If you're not gonna practice with the fourth and the fifth, they're never gonna get strong and independent and be able to at least come close to equaling one two three.So many situations, what we have to be able to play with strength and agility with our fourth and fifth finger, so we gotta practice it. So I've worked that into the fingering here. And we're just changing up the rhythm.Level 2A, same thing: goin' up straight. Pentatonic. Now we gotta new shape. And this is really based upon something a lot of players use. That's just going up a half step. So it gets your hand ready for that. And now we're introducing a lot of fifth finger. A lot of you are gonna wanna go four or three there. But the idea is we wanna keep that wrist smoothly gliding up and down.Pentatonics. Happy practicing!========================================================Website: https://www.openstudiojazz.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeyOpenStudioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyopenstudioTwitter: https://twitter.com/HeyOpenStudio See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
