These are great lessons. I just started playing my old Jazz bass again after a few years off. These vids are helping a lot and they are fun to work with. Great talent and personality!!
This the 2nd of your bass lessons I've watched and I'm over the moon again, you are an amazing teacher, you teach us what we need to know in order to advance as bass players, rather than just teach us a certain bassline or technique. Thanks again!!!
Geez, thank you for making these. I've been looking for someone that puts up tabs while playing, making it so much more simple. Great site. Thx and keep up the great work!! :-)
@@ebassguitarjust for your info:am 72yrs just bought a bass 3weeks ago after watching your lesson.wish I live around your neighbourhood.once again Tq to you.
Hi. Great lesson. One of my favourite basslines comes from a song called "Dream on Dreamer" by the Brand New Heavies. If you can, please show us how that bassline is played. Thanks again. Keep up the good work.
Hello. I am a beginner bass player and do enjoy you’re videos. The only question I have is why do you keep saying the cords are C, G, Am,and F while showing the tablature as C, G, A, and F? Should the tab for Am on the D string be the 6th fret? Just wondering. Thank you.
Great lesson, im a brand new bass player only had few lessons i get it all upto, 11.34 then you completly go different to what you have shown and as all you teachers seem to do is start to show how good you are can you please explain where these extra notes come from when you havnt even shown them or why the changes happen
Hi Lee, thanks for the kind words. At the end of the lesson I’m showing you where these basic ideas can go and some of the ideas that can be derived from G major scale. Hope that helps James
Great lesson James. Thanks. One question: using the chord progression C-G-A-F, when you play the A note at 5th position on the E string, shouldn't the next note be C# at the 9th position rather than C? That is then followed by E at 7th fret on the A string.
Apologies if this has asked before and i have very limited knowledge but in C major where does the Am come from 🤔 I can see that it is the 6 note of the scale of C but why does it sound sooooo good? Also, anywhere on the net and I would play a in progression like this whereas guitar, keys etc play A minor in the songs you mentioned which use these for chords.. I mean how come Am occurs so frequently rather that Dm or Bm as D and B are also in the C major scale . This could be a sleepless nights 😬 Brilliant lessons and you have a great way of presenting the sessions
Many thanks and I was definitely confusing myself and I had no idea that there were "chords" in the key of C (or any key) and I assumed there were only notes in the scale and that is something I need to read up on. So much to learn and so little time😂 So now I understand where Am related to VI comes from. Does Am related to A occur more often than Dm or Bm for example in songs?
My favourite Pop Song is Affirmation-Savage Garden. 🤔 But I think this is not a classic bass Player song. There are many bass synthesizers and drum machines in the song.
@@ebassguitar No. 11:48 onwards, you’re improvising. What notes are you playing and I’ve notice there’s rhythm changes different from the ones you began with. This is what I meant by explain
It’s helpful if you’re more specific with your questions ;-) What’ll be doing is pulling on my arsenal of licks from the past 20 years... a lot of that will be passing notes and approach notes and major pentatonic of this chord sequence
