ABOUT THIS VIDEO

Check out my breakdown of Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon" bass sound. I'll show you step by step how to recreate it using the same 1972 ARP Odyssey model synthesizer as Herbie...including performance tips!

Not only is it one of my alltime favorite synth bass sounds, it also changed the reach of jazz music by opening up the mindset of both jazz musicians and the listening public to fresh new sounds. This was much needed in the 70's to compete with rock 'n' roll's dominance of the airwaves. Synth sounds allowed jazz musicians to connect with a larger set of minds and voices yet retain still retain musical complexity, quality, and integrity.

The cornerstone techniques in this video will effectively elevate your synthesizer power, no matter what style you prefer.
