Ghost notes. Don't forget ghost notes. Extra funk spice.

If playing the bass bores you even the slightest, you are playing the wrong instrument, bass to me is never boring, I am never bored when I play, playing bass to me is fun as hell.

Everything is on the ONE

These tips are the essence of how to play funk bass lines. Thank you.

Funk is all about the 1. Whatever you play, always go back to the 1. Gotta hit that 1. That's it. That's funk. Simple.

The first point she makes is why I feel every musician should know how to play at the very least basic drums. Learning drums has helped my timing tremendously

Subbing for this instructor. I play guitar and I could never get that feeling when trying the bass. Now I'm getting it. Thank you.

I want more lessons, but all these lessons are lessons that I got 15 years ago. Keep posting this stuff for the new player.

Great lesson!! Love your teaching style and chops.

Thanks for the FREE lesson. Keep the music alive!

I love your classes. Thanks for sharing!

It's the space between the lines that connect the groove together. Lines and spaces in music, is very important to understand that part of music theory as well as knowing scales and chords, you have to know good timing between the bars and measures.

I love their outfits

thank you , I have learned so much and thank you for all your help

Fantastic lesson ! Really appreciate the multiple camera angles too, which show how you mute with your left index finger .

Great lesson!

Wonderful and very helpful lesson. Thank you.

I love these tutorials !

Great teaching ! Thank you so much.

This is great! Thank u!

Awesome, thanks for the valuable tips

Thanks! Wonderful lesson!

This is a very good lesson! It's not just playing funk or learn a funk riff on bass. It's also about understanding subdivisions of 16th notes . . . This lesson is a good tool for every player.

I like this Bass.

I'm learning so much from you.

Awesome funk pattern.... i love ittttt....keep on....👍👍👍👍

Thank you this was very helpful

Yes, this is great advice to all bass players. I am often very quick to criticize this type of lesson so when it is impeccable as this one is I must offer praise. She may not impress someone trying to be Andre Segovia on a guitar tuned down anoctave but listen to every note she plays, just perfect, not a hint of fret rattle and they all ring like bells. This type of articulation only comes from sound technique, you wont hear it in the shed. This bass player is loved by all the other people in the band because she is a 'bass player'. I know she really is a New York session player because in Sydney Australia I can see her on later night TV most nights. Most guys that make these you tube clips only imagine they have done paid sessions. So why, because it sounds so good, it is what a bass line should be. She is the only one I have ever heard refer to tone production. Emulate her and you will get gigs. Learn from most of the others and you have a really delirious time in your bed room and the guys in the music shop will be really impressed.

That is a sweet bass!!!

I like your teachings

Thanks.

Thank you!

I love her

Good sound.

I love you Yonit!

That is a SWEET bass.

Really great.

Nice, Thank you

Lovely Advice..

I have been playing bass for over 30 years and your advice is always spot on!

Thank you ma'am heheh Jeff from Philippines here! :)

Note choices noted :)

so funky

Very good method

Excellent pointers and explanations. I note you're also using just a few ghost notes to add to the funkiness of the sound. (And it did so nicely.) It would have been great if you would have elaborated just a bit on the subtlety the ghost notes added to the sound of the line. Very good playing!

Your strategy of presentation is natural , excellent & deserves huge appreciation.

i like her playing funk bass

Sweet!!

In guitar playin Id usually just write letters as if as guide where chords progress but in bass playing it is like playing the piano again without the g clef

'On the 1' will do ;)

I will try to learn how to make my bass funkier.

She is a good teacher!!! She is cute too. She explain the principles easy.

Brill thanks

The ONE.

I have a crush on my bass teacher

Sounds nice no fret buzz

If she's in any bands I NEED to know 🥲

I want that chili red sr5 you're selling on reverb so bad!

very very thanks

Good video

Hey ! Thanks for your video! Really Helpful! But can we get the tracks without the bass, so we can train with it, please ?

She looks graceful......wow........wishing to her bass guitar disciple ........

Funky) thnx

A bass lesson over coffee. Nice.

Ah yes, the funky rude note. I'm also fun of that!

Thank you for a great lesson

Love the explanation and it help me a lot now that I’m traying to learn more style other than heavy Metal which is my favorite but I just get lost when she star to talk about the notes on the scale because I just Lisent To what I play and if sound good? I play it, of course I know the notes on the base ( like 4th string is E,F,F#,G,G#,A,A#,B,C,D,D#,E) but I don’t know what sácale is which one so for me is like this: I will play this and if it sound good I will use it and if it sound out of key naaa let me try something else...lol

Best way to move up and down the neck?

The strap on the end there - I believe it's called a 'Fret Strap'? What does it do?

❤️

Muted notes makes funkier.

Not seeing the links to pdf or backing track. Am I missing something?

Great Lesson, thank you. How many BPM have you got on the beat (metronome)? I visited soundcloud but sometimes I just can get the metronome.

Good video! I wonder what that blue clip on your bass is and what it does😁

Awesome!

I love the color of that bass! What is it called? I have to have one! Great video!

Whats that color pink on the end of the neck?

lessonface.com is cool but where is the link? may I have link to pdf plz?

I have playing guitar for 62 years and now have switched to bass. I love it especially ghost notes. But excuise my ignorance: what are that thing hanging off the head of your guitar and the pink thing . is that a capo?

Funky

Thanks Yonit! I always get good info from your videos

Amazing!!! I play bass on Heavy Metal band, but I always putting funkie lines in our songs....hahahahaha
