Hey. Ghost notes, and mute notes are practically the same thing. A ghost note is a mute note, put into the context of a groove. When a note is written in parantheses in tabs (like (3) or (9)) it means it's harmonic. Hold your finger lightly on the string, right above a fret and hit the string. (5th and 7th and 12th fret is easiest to ring). Ghost notes are written as "x" in tabs. Good luck!

I can't thank you enough for all these videos Scott! They are great and thoroughly appreciated!

An absolute master of ghost notes (at age 17) is Juliaplaysgroove. Her latest Luther Vandross cover made me realize how much I ignored an amazing band he had!

@Kasino80 Год назад

She's insane on that instrument.

@tuxiedobandits16 11 лет назад

FINALLY! I've been seaching and trying so hard to get that note! I play salsa and Jazz and In salsa its used a lot in certain swings. Thank you! Amazing help!

@robster6820 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Scott, so simple yet very effective!

@bblando65 8 лет назад

in essence them, the ghost notes are notes played without allowing the string you are playing to vibrate? its basically a percussive effect?

@ahanarora2347 8 лет назад

exactly.

@nuriasoliveres2010 2 года назад

Thanks Scott! I found a bass tab for 'hotel California's by the Eagles (brilliant bass line) and it uses ghost notes,but I didn't know what they were. Thanks again!

My friend and I were chatting about Duran Duran's John Taylor a few weeks ago. She said that her ex, who used to play bass in a band, was listening to Rio one day when he said "That bass player's a bastard" (meaning he's really good). I just revisited Rio, and some of the comments were praising John's bass playing, saying he's playing _ghost notes,_ which is really difficult, apparently. Not knowing what ghost notes are, I searched for it, which is why I'm here. (You're fascinated by all that, I can tell. 😏) So, is John Taylor an underrated bass player?

@anatommyandcharvananirvana3348 3 года назад

Funny, I’m watching this video because of JT too! I play guitar but I finally decided to at least play DD songs on bass :)

@montys8th 2 года назад

John Taylor is a very underrated bass player. He recorded Rio at age 23. The ghost notes in that are epic.

@youtubecommentator4238 2 года назад

I absolutely love your bass🤘

@Splitter500 11 лет назад

Hey somthingworng im also a rookie bassist and what I learned is that mute notes are notes of the bass you don't hold all the way completely, when you hit a mute not, you take you finger slightly off the string so you only hold the note for less than a second

@VladL01 10 лет назад

Thanks. Very useful.

@hafizalrosyid 12 лет назад

@earlycuyler2295 3 года назад

These used to confuse the heck out of me. The best "easy" song to learn about ghost notes is " baby ive got your money" by odb. Most charts and tabs show both ghost notes on the line as any other note, but to play it, and play it right you have to hit 2 ghost notes in rapid succession. Simple line to learn( just 3 notes), and itll get a smile out of A few girls in the crowd later on.

@niwdeeel 11 лет назад

Hi Scott, I am a bass player for about 5 months now, and I absolutely love your lessons. I've been learning so much thanks to you. My question now is, whats the difference between mute notes and ghost notes? In scores they are written in the same way(I think), and in tablature they are written as (3) and x respectively. Whats the difference between both sound wise and technique wise?

@Nasengold 8 лет назад

Thank you Scott, the Ghost Notes drove me crazy, but I have one question left. I don't seem to understand the Ghost Note of the open string. I know this is an old video from you but I really hope you can help me out. How do I play it? Btw I love your work. You are a great teacher.

@Apost0345 5 лет назад

12th fret i guess?

Wow 9 years ago this video was uploaded. A great piece for ghost notes is Barbary Coast. Jaco plays ghosts notes within the groove for the entire song. It adds a bit of chopiness to the already great bass line.

@prod.by.gudamanz 3 года назад

showed out so hard in the beginning 😭 that shit was fire tho

@prod.by.gudamanz 3 года назад

definitely helpful information tho for sure

@adaptiveagile 11 лет назад

@jsilence418 11 лет назад

Great lesson, great sound, i saw you wearing gloves before Ettienne Mbappe as well.

@coskunguclu8591 Год назад

Wow - I didn't realise that this was what people mean't when they said they played ghost notes...I have been playing these without knowing lol

@sponger516 10 месяцев назад

What about using a muted tap on the string as a ghost note? Like, sometime I instinctually kinda softly slap the muted string for the first ghost note, then mute and pluck for the second with the same finger on my right hand, and then let the third ring out, and it seems to have a little gallop feel to it. Is that, I guess, wrong?

@devinebass 10 месяцев назад

You can use right hand taps (or 'drops') for ghost notes yes!

@mbrabson1 11 лет назад

This is so funny - I have the hardest time ***NOT*** playing dead notes because I play them to keep locked-in to the tempo!!!!!!!!!!! I guess it's kind of a crutch from the days when I was teaching myself how to play (by mimicking whatever I heard on the radio) and I've needed to un-learn it. Oh wait, first I'd better learn to be deliberate about the selecting the string to play the dead notes on.....Cool beans, Scott - thanks! :-)

@Slidethroughtarot Год назад

I feel like the ghost notes are one of the few thing that seperates the Greats when you do it so well you just ass so much more thennnotes to mix

@playsblueswolf 10 лет назад

excellent Scott Gonna send my next gig pay to ya $5.00 That my bottom price. You're a great bassist and teacher. I am referring as many people to you as I can

@jhipp6009 3 года назад

What those little numbers in tabs next to the normal sized numbers? The ones that look like the square or cubed symbol. Are those ghost notes?

@Doctorpopets 4 года назад

Some Gary Wilis vibe here!

@fluffycheertiger 11 лет назад

it's got something to do with nerve problems in the brain, it says on his website that the gloves act as a sensory barrier :)

@ingridkosik589 2 года назад

Hi Scott! Should I mute e and d string the same way as we muted notes on string a?

What is the difference between a gos ghost note and a harmonic.

@devinebass 5 месяцев назад

A ghost note is a deadened note, a harmonic is an overtone. They sound quite different

@Alpha-Eridani 12 лет назад

@alexcole2443 7 лет назад

So it's just a muted note, why use ghost note in tableture instead of just an X

Why the gloves?

@Quiet_Viking 9 лет назад

***** He has Focal Dystonia which is a neurological condition that affects the muscles in his hands.

@joshuablouin2900 8 лет назад

+Quiet Viking So, excuse my ignorance, What exactly do the gloves do to help? (if they help anything at all)

@MikeHunt-wo5go 8 лет назад

+Joshua Blouin provide pressure and gently constrict the nerves which is all that's needed to dampen the symptoms.

@FocusReborn44 9 лет назад

Do you do finger puppets in your spare time?

@Weverton9000 8 лет назад

why do you use a glove to play?

@ivanov55 7 лет назад

Weverton9000 He made a video on it, check it out.

@fysy9989 5 лет назад

I thought ghost notes were normal notes just played very silent and dead notes normally played but muted notes, as in this video

@randomcrusader5632 3 года назад

Whenever I try they don’t sound right at all, they just don’t sound like anything, no percussion, nothing

@ajuk1 4 года назад

I still have no idea what he's doing, he's just telling me he's doing it. What stops the string vibrating.

@chimpautan 3 года назад

the back of your left fingers (your fretting hand) touch the string while you play it and dampen the sound, just release the pressure on the fretting hand but keep touching the string while you play it
