I saw this lesson title and said, “Oh this is something I need!” and I see that I saw it 10 months ago. But I need to revisit it. Proves the same lesson is applicable at different stages of playing, as long as a GREAT teacher like Dan is doing the teaching ! Thank you Dan !

@user-nl9sx2hy1e День назад

Well done! I m 67 and have been a bassist most of my life but some weird calling had me pick up keyboards starting in 2012 and yet I’m returning to bass, I am always very relaxed and happy and after putting bass down for a yea or two and can have most of my stuff back in a couple of days. I have found that It’s all about taking it slowly enough where you can play it perfectly and then increase the tempo. Too many times students are impatient or assume that they have to play at the speed of the demonstration. That’s with any instrument of course, but I was adding this to my bass game, and I just wanted to add that. You got this though you da man! Keep up the great work 😎🎶🎶🎶🎶

Thanks for this video. I tended to mute the ghost note with only one finger and sometimes got a harmonic. Now I know where I went wrong.

@burgergamer09yt21 Месяц назад

Hi Dan! I was watching the video in slow motion as I am just beginning and there seems to be a difference between what you play and what is written in the Rocco bass line. It appears in the final part of the sixteenth notes where instead of playing two sevens or fours you play one seven or four and then three ghost notes, instead of two regular and two ghost notes. Dunno if you are going to see this comment but I wanted to point it out for future reference. PD: Rewatching it I realized with happens only with the first bar with the sevens, not with the fours.

@OnlineBassCourses Месяц назад

Pretty sure I’m playing it how it’s written most of the time but happy to be corrected! I do sometimes improvise around a written line 🙏👍

Hi Dan. Been sitting on the fence regarding your paid courses but this one really hit the mark for me. Do you take the ghost note concept any further in your paid courses?

@OnlineBassCourses 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! Kind of - there’s quite a lot in the Funk Bass course because, well, they figure a lot in funk bass. It’s the same as this lesson really just with some cool funk bass lines.

@danmatera1885 10 месяцев назад

Can you elaborate on getting that satisfying muted sound for the ghost note? I feel like mine feels thin and not as punchy- are you only applying pressure for a brief second?

@OnlineBassCourses 10 месяцев назад

Timing definitely matters. I’m using more than one finger as I mentioned. It could also be the bass, strings, EQ settings, or plucking intensity. The technique should remain roughly the same though. Do it a lot and you’ll get the touch required to make it sound good. Hope that helps.

@ravenger2445 10 месяцев назад

Just a quick question, is this easier with low action?

@OnlineBassCourses 10 месяцев назад

Perhaps but it can sound better with higher action. Lower action might make it slightly easier but you might get a bit more fret noise. Try it though!
