I denna uppgift kommer jag presentera resultatet av min självstudie där jag lär mig tekniken vandrande bas på elbas genom lärarledda elbaslektioner. Denna process är videoinspelad, semistrukturerad intervju har hållits och dokumentationen analyseras genom transkription. Jag kommer bearbeta begreppet kunskap och redovisa några teorier om vad kunskap är och hur man kan kategorisera detta begrepp genom antingen uppdelande av praktisk och teoretisk kunskap. Jag kommer också undersöka huruvida pragmatismens kunskapssyn är applicerbar på denna studie. Studien behandlar hur jag använt mig av mina kunskaper som klassisk gitarrist i min inlärning av elbas. Hur jag kan använda mina kunskaper funna i elbasspelet i mitt klassiska gitarrspel. Även hur de pedagogiska upptäckterna jag gör i elbasspel kan användas i min framtida roll både som elbaslärare och gitarrlärare. Detta behandlas med ett sociokulturellt perspektiv i grunden samt mästarlära. Resultatet visar att förkunskaper i klassisk gitarr är mycket användbart om man vill lära sig elbas och att flera aspekter av gitarrspelet är direkt eller indirekt överförbara till elbasen. Det kommer också visa sig att det finns flera olikheter som kan försvåra inlärandet av elbas. Jag har också hittat grundläggande kunskap i metodik för elbasspel på nybörjarstadium. / In this project, I will present the result of my self-study where I learn the technique of walking bass on electric bass through teacher-led electric bass lessons. This process is video-recorded, semi-structured interview has been held and the documentation is analyzed by transcription. I will process the concept of knowledge and report some theories on what knowledge is and how to categorize this concept through either the division of practical or theoretical knowledge. I will also examine whether the knowledge view of pragmatism is applicable to this study. The study deals with how I used my knowledge as a classical guitarist in my learning of electric bass. How I can use my knowledge found in the electric bass game in my classic guitar play. Even how the pedagogical discoveries I make in electric bass games can be used in my future role both as electric bass teacher and guitar teacher. This is dealt with a socio-cultural perspective in the basics and master-apprentice perspective. The result shows that prior knowledge of classical guitar is very useful if you want to learn electric bass and that several aspects of the guitar play are directly or indirectly transferable to the electric base. It will also show several differences between the instruments that can make learning electric bass more difficult. I have also found basic knowledge in methodology for electric bass games at the beginner stage.

With the purpose of enriching my walking bass lines I have studied the work of Israel Crosby, who is most famously associated with the Ahmad Jamal Trio. His walking bass line- construction hints to his background as a musician from the swing-era, with a foundation in tuba-playing. The 2017 paper “Israel Crosby (1919-1962): An Analysis of His Bass Line Construct” by Gibral Anees Kahn worked as an aid in my attempt to dissect the idiosyncrasies of Crosby in addition to my transcription work, which was focused on memorizing and internalizing, rather than reading the transcriptions as sheet music. By studying three recordings I made several conclusions about Crosby’s habits and methods which I could implement in my own playing. By habitually playing the transcriptions and listening extensively to the music of Ahmad Jamal over the course of 6 months, I engrained parts of Crosby’s playing which was demonstrated in the devoted recital concert, that featured a diverse repertoire. The project resulted in me developing my playing in both conscious and unconscious ways. / <p>Repertoar:</p><p>This Can't Be Love - Richard Rodgers</p><p>Out of the Past - Benny Golson</p><p>Prelude to a Kiss - Duke Ellington</p><p>Bitty Ditty - Thad Jones</p><p>I Get a Kick Out of You - Cole Porter</p><p>Third Movement - Jeb Patton</p><p></p><p>Medverkande:</p><p>Jacob Sandberg - Bas</p><p>Elias Larrsson - Piano</p><p>Albin Eklund - Trummor</p>
