Seven Nation Army // Bass Lessons for Beginners 

Was this a hard or complicated song? Not in the slightest. Am I still super jazzed that I actually managed to play something for the first time on the bass I just got today? OH hell yes.

I got my bass yesterday (never played anything before), I am much further along playing this song then I would've expected. So glad I found this. Thank you! Triple.

great tutorial, but I'd recommend that when you're on the A string, that you rest your thumb on the E string instead of the pickup. This will stop the E from developing a sympathetic resonance. Move your thumb up to the pickup only when you want to play the E string. If you watch Andy's bassist during the 2nd half of the video, you'll see that this is the technique that he uses.

Your content is appreciated... Just what us as basists need

This song is super easy to learn. I got my first bass today and wanted to play something, so i decided to learn seven nation army. Well, after 30 minutes i was (sorry if this sounds arrogant) super impressed of my progress. Big suggestion to beginners, this is perfect if you are starting with this awesome instrument

I picked up guitar after almost 40 years and was enjoying. Then one day hubby and I were putting a song together and wanted a bass line. I picked one up and played it, and was immediately hooked! I bought my own the next week. This is a great fun way to learn to play actual songs. I enjoy learning theory, but it’s awesome to be able to play cool stuff. Thank you Andy 👏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻

It’s 2021 and I pick up the bassist! I am excited about my journey since you’re now my RU-vid teacher mate😊 God bless you! Encouragement for those reading: “Do not despise small beginnings. Small progress is still progress!” XoXo 🦋

Thank you! Every other video goes super fast and you took the time to actually teach it. I almost have it. I appreciate your channel sooooo much. I've only been playing a month!

I watched this just after your "Learn the Ukulele in 10 Days". Oriinally, I wanted to learn bass, but I also liked your Uke lessons. You are a great teacher, thank you for helping me Andy!

Brilliant Andy, thanks for this there's hope yet.

This video really helped me a lot, I was getting discouraged until I found this video right here. Thank you Andy!

Great teaching style.... enthusiasm and explaining techniques... 5 stars

probably the best and useful instructional video for the bass on the entire fkin world wide web :) THANKS ANDY

My brother at drums, my other brother with guitar and my father is the singer... this video is perfect to work my part: bass! (Can’t wait to play that together 🤩) Thanks from France! 💙🤍❤️

Love, love, LOVE this idea! Can't wait to see the rest of the videos. 😊😊😊 Thank you 😊😊😊

Loved the tutorial, keep them coming Andy.

After playing drums for more then 10 years in several bands (just for fun and with some gigs) i stopped when the Corona hit the world. But after 3 years doing nothing with music I needed to do something because the urge was to big 🙂 But this time less noisy. I bought a bass guitar, a small amplifier and some accessories. Knowing nothing about tones, scales and all the other essential stuff I expected to have a looooooooooong road ahead of me before I would be able to play a part of any tune. But what an inspiring guy are you (and your band ofcourse) Today i managed to play the whole of the Seven nation army song with the band, on 75% speed. Still making me so proud to make this kind of progress in just a few days. Thanks for taking me on the right track to a new carreer as (amatuer) bass player!!🙏

This is an amazing tutorial such a great way to learn i have not played the Bass in many years but your tutorial made me start again

I’m my God ! Thank you so much! Your work is great and so precious!

Awesome video my only request is that you mentioned the notes that your playing so that we as beginners can start learning the notes on the base, thanks. I loved this videos especially being able to practice while we play with your band. Awesome 👌🏽 can’t wait to learn this song and move on to the next one ✌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks for the tips and suggestions on how to play seven nation army on base

this is the style of bass guitar lesson inmy mind!! you found it...you did it! thanx... waiting for similar style lessons....

That was fun!! I'm not in a band I would like to be in one soon your video opened my eyes, this something I can do and well. I would like to audition.

I glad my voice students showed me your videos and enjoy learning to play beginning bass with them! Such clear communication, explanation of terms and bass playing, great counting of the rhythm in context, and really encouraging words for the student! I love the split screen showing the bass work close up as your band plays!! Thanks for all this stuff!

Great first lesson instantly recognised

Love this song so much!!!

Love this series! Please do Lonely Boy!

I really like your approach to learning. I´m following you now with Acoustic, Electric and Bass. Please keep up the good work. Cheers ;)

Thanks, finally i played it all, okay, on 75% speed, but i can't improve, until i can play it, so now, improvement

Just found this series and love it to bits. Just curios if it ever ended up being 21 songs, or "only" 12?

Awesome content bro, the more we can do to recruit young people over to the bass side the better

Love it! Thanks for the lesson

Hi Andy, Thank you for this! I have always enjoyed the sound of the bass guitar. I have a 5 bass guitar and just love it! ❤️

Thank you! I am more of a bass player than a guitarist and you have been able to get me to play guitar. I can't wait for this series of lessons.

Great idea Andy. My first bass is in the post. Can't wait to get started.

Thank you for helping me learn my first rift🖤

Thank you so much

Fun fact: this was the first song you came to when you decided to learn bass

thank you ive just brought a bass guitar and this is the very first time playing and i managed to do it but i found my first finger would not reach that high do you have any ideas on how to train my fingers to go into the right place

Managed about half of the band play along before I messed up. Second day of owning a bass, I am well chuffed.

Seems like quite a clever idea! Nice one!

Thanks becuase now i can play it on the normal guitar and im gonna get a bass so thanks

Andy, can you please make a champions league anthem guitar lesson? awesome video as always

I don't know if this is possible but it would be great if the tracks would be available "minus one" instrument for guitar or bass/ singer/drums. But anyway : great lesson series.

love this idea Andy

Very good idea!

First time picking up bass. Not sure instruments and me are very good together haha. Tutorial is great. I am definitely not a natural with music and instruments haha.

Awesome! Thank you so much! Are are the only adequate bass guitar teacher on RU-vid!
