How To Play Bass (according to wikiHow) 

Big thanks once again to noob bassist Davide Biale 🙏🙏🙏

I love how they go from "learn scales" to WRITE YOUR OWN SONGS

Instructions unclear, learnt how to play the guitar

Thanks to this guide. I learned to play a guitar.

I really liked this guy's tutorial on how to drive a car: Step 1: Choose your Lambo. Step 2: Reprogram the Engine Control Unit to increase horsepower and torque. Step 3: Clean with a gentle, pH-neutral car shampoo.

This is the musical equivalent of "How to draw an owl. Step 1: Draw 2 slightly overlapping circles, the bottom one slightly larger than the top one. Step 2: Complete the owl."

5:34 is the "if you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly" of Davie504

8:04 That's not 30°! You learned nothing!

Great to see a collab between Davie504 and Davide Biale

2:47 Davie504: "When a bass is out of tune my ears explode" 6:59 Davie's G string:💀

This tutorial has finally taught me how to square the triangle in proper rhythm, thanks Davie504.

You should have checked that tutorial for how to fish for bass. That's a really underrated bass technique that I feel is invaluable to beginners.

This is genuinely, among your videos, the one that has made me laugh the most.

I went to play with a couple of bands who wanted me to play "their basslines" for their songs and EVERY TIME, it was a guitarist who wrote the Bassline and they wrote (and played) it the way a guitar would be played. They kept wanting me to play with a pick. UNACCEPTABLE!

EPIC bassist NOT EPIC wiki tutorial

You inspired me to get a Bass. Have mastered 'Another One Bites the Dust' like a Hero. Well on my way to becoming part of the Pantheon

Hey I am noobie504

I am really looking forward to your bass tutorials for beginners!

You've convinced me to learn behs

I like this Davide Biale guy... you should invite him more. It's refreshing to hear his real self. Jokes aside It's hard to be yourself online but don't worry your real fans already know you and love you for who you are. And you're an inspiration for me as a fellow introvert, tall guy, and shy person. You helped me be myself more and accept myself and not see myself as an outcast who needs to be 'fixed'. So thank you I usually don't write these comments but you truly are an inspiration for me keep it up and never change :)

I have seen a lot of your vids. this is my fav so far. im slappin that like!

Really lile the frequent uploads but dont let it get to you. Awesome video as always

Thank you for sharing this tutorial with us! I feel like I'm ready to buy more basses!

Hilarious and so slap on! Evidently the writer of the wiki tutorial learned things from this video and quickly updated the wiki-how when I checked it today April 4. Thanks. Looking forward to your tutorial. Will buy a bass soon partly because of you.

Long time watcher, love the content. I usually only try to have one bass for sale an one keeper… at the moment I have a fender jazz bass, squier active jaguar, vintage Hondo explorer h-880, vintage Peavey T-40 and some home made mariachi style fret less acoustic electric. I have even had to stop myself from buying more. The only reason I ever put guitar next to bass when I list them is just to expand my reach for looks at my post… even when I post a mic or drums I always put “ ( guitar bass studio band related) “ I always think it’s hilarious when I see a guitar bundled with a bass amp or someone puts “base guitar”

These videos give me joy ❤️

HAHA! So well edited! Always love your product! Thank you...

thank you for your EPIC videos you inspired me to buy myself a bass and hopefully i’ll be slapping soon. keep up the amazing work!

We missed you David, Im happy you are doing well ❤ Stay awsome and slappy !

Ive been waiting for this collab. Thank you Davie504

This was a *hilarious* video highlighting the best of Davie504 *ahem* I mean, Davide Biale

Ngl Nice to Davide Biale Once in a while. Hope he can be in more videos ❤️

You can do a Bass Course in a Bass page with goods Bass videos of how to learn Bass

As a bassist and classical guitarist I have to say: First learn to play bass. Here is my reasoning: The things, that you need to learn on a bass in order to function in a band are the most important practices, that every musician on a bass/guitar-shaped instrument have to learn. Except Bass has thicker strings and you need better technique (and more strenght) to do it right. I am talking about fundamentals, that every good musician on those instruments need. Talking about strenght in the hand/finger. In order to warm up before playing guitar, I play some scales... but if I warm up before playing bass, I play some guitar first.

I chose a 2 string bass with a diatonic scale as well as a Focusrite sound card. I couldn’t find out where to install the bulky sound card so I just play through an amp. So far so good

I am a guitarist but I still wanna report that website 🙄🙄🙄

I haven’t laughed this hard in a while!!! Great channel!

2:54 - very emotional times

Hello Davie, I enjoyed this video. I laughed a number of times while watching it. I laughed when you asked which notes should I play? Which chords should I learn! There was no real information on note or chord playing. A beginner bass tutorial from you would be outstanding. Be well, Will Ortiz

Mindblown when Davide Biale came out. why did I expect to see Davie504 and Davide Biale on a single frame tho. 😆😆😆😆😆😆

i hope the guy who wrote these tutorials finds this video

Love the energy

I've used a C major shape sweep arpeggio (fingerstyle on a 4 string bass) in a break during a song before.🤷‍♂️

I couldn’t understand why you had so many subs. Now I get it. Great sense of humor Mr. Biale!

legend back🥺

I started on fretless back in 2004. Went great! Started with Lounge Act, Californication, Zombi (cranberries) - great fretless songs of course totally not. K's choice really helped me bring out that fretless tone though; by plucking closer to the neck for that soft signature fretless grizzle.

Hmm... This video actually made me wanna buy a bass again and pick up (no pun intended since picks are very much illegal on basses!) where I left off. Great tip with the sound card setup btw! Totally gonna use that + headphones in the densely populated area that I live in 👍

My bass instructor is primarily a guitarist. Thank you for bringing to light the error of my ways.

Como vovó já dizia:"Toda música de qualidade, é bem vinda". O baixo é uma bateria disfarçada. A todos viajantes do universo. Traduzir para o inglês.

8:37 yes we need bass lessons from you🔥🔥🙏🏻

I've actually had this problem when it came to learning Bass. The teacher there played a lot of instruments and had a great sense in music theory, but he couldn't properly teach me advanced techniques like slap, tap, double thumb, etcetera. He applied as a teacher for bass because he knew how to play guitar well. It's nice to know guitar for music theory and such when teaching bass, but if you are going to teach it, actually know how to play it like a virtuouso. Don't apply because you know another instrument. It feels insulting. It's like if someone said they can teach the tuba cause they know how to play the trumpet. Learn it and respect it. Each instrument has their own techniques and fundamentals to learn.

mi mancavano questi video

This new David lore of headphones on vs off is fascinating, and very funny 😂

He laughed for the first time !. I am proud of you Davie.

Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out why the bass wasn't working until I got a new protractor

How to play bass: buy bass. Buy amp. Fret random note, play octave, play fifth, make up bass solos, compose music. Buy second bass. Stonks!

I play guitar and can somewhat learn by ear if it’s not too busy or fast. I can even predict chord progressions if it’s not all over the place

@Davie504 my oldest and I joined a community concert band a few months ago back and they picked up a bass….. trombone! You can’t slap it but you get an amazing sound out of it!

Inner elbow slap at the end, priceless.

These are the kind of videos that got me to sub

Poor Davey, so jealous he could not help as many people as these instructions have 😔

Got a Bass in 1964.. I was six.... Love your show ❤😂

Great to see a collaboration between Davie504 and Davide Biale!

You should check out Keller Williams, he plays guitar but does a form of slap on it, very cool seen him live

I slapped like and now I know how to SLAP bass. Epic

LOVE U DAVIE, would you do bass challenges?

Well while they called me for this article I was actually playing bass in the band I now lead for. Maybe we need a bass/guitar battle to settle this 😂

Clip on protractors for the headstock are now in production 😂

This tutorial is so good. Got me sweep picking my bass and slapping my guitar🤘

waiting for the complete course in order to buy it.

this tutorial was amazing… I didn’t know that a wikihow could actually subtract from my noob bass playing skillz lol

Def should cover Prince’s bass playing. Saw a vid of him laying down a bass track for the Batman movies. . . True artistry.

that first Age of Empires sound was EPICLY used.

There are some genuine good tips from Davie here, I didn't expect that

When you Play Double Bass you start woth fretless

'Bass Buzz Beginer Bass Lessons' was the best RU-vid guide i found so far (obviously until Davie504 showers Bass knowldge on the ignorant) I used to play guitar 😌but i am better now

How to play with your Bass? - Buy a fishing rod, catch Bass, learn Bass to play the piano with both fins.

Also, a pro tip for newcomer bassists: Be gentle when slapping the softwood guitars, and you can slap harder the hardwood guitars for better sound.

Getting a bass hopefully next month for my first guitar let’s see how it goes.

I have a question is really you advice in the 2:02 minute, about is better buy a sound card instead of amp? I want to start play bass I hope you see this

3:30 even David have to laugh in front of this! 7:14 blurred lines.

Thanks for the guitar tutorial. OMG!

Very impressive!

"Learn how to play roots." I actually did that. The first song I learned to play on a bass was Roots Bloody Roots from Sepultura. The next one was Into The Void from Black Sabbath. After that, people started asking me to play pop songs so now I live in a desert.

Davie504: "All of you know I'm a "Pro Bassist" Me: "Nah you're not a "Pro Bassist" you're a "Bassist Expert"

DAVIE, what EQ do you use on your sterling? Especially for the SLAPP song. Thanks

Davie504 Bass Slapping lessons Me: "Just take my money 💸"

Guys please more likes! I need these Behs course from Davide!

it has been some time that i don't laugh like this kkkkkk keep it up Davide Biale

A davie504 bass course would actually be amazing!

i missed you sm omg

It's only been 11 days, looks like that tutorial will be here by the end of the month!

I`m hyped for your tutorial, bro)

Omg, the struggle is real!!! Learning to play the bass here. I'm still baffled that whenever I see playlists of bass lessons, people always want to teach chords before they even speak of notes and scales. I feel like the programs are all upside-down. Why should I start learning with the finger contortionism first and not just how to play one 2 strings first and slowly add the rest, for example?

Davie be confused on notes make me rolling

Or can you watch Tyler Joseph playing bass? He is not real bassist but he really often plays bass

"This is the best guitar channel of all time." - The Wikihow guy, probably

many interesting wikihow stuff.

3:03 perfect tutorial for Michael Jackson's moonwalk using your finger

I've never been so grateful to learn bass guitar together with Davie❤
