I am not a musician, but I am definitely a music lover. I am super happy to be learning about the bass and bassists, but mostly I can relate so much to the joy you have in playing. When I hear something particularly moving, I cry. I wear headphones all of the time, and I cry at work, at stores, at my friends' gigs...I get embarrassed, but it is not in my control. Thank you for sharing your love of music with me and teaching me about the bass! Keep the videos coming.

It may be easy to play the notes of "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," but getting the timing perfect can be a challenge. There are some long rests and notes come in on the offbeat. Same thing with the timing of "Oye Como Va" actually. I often think really nailing the groove of something is harder than playing a bunch of fast notes.

@effess8698 6 месяцев назад

My nomination would be She Sells Sanctuary by the Cult. The bass line has four notes, playable on one or two strings, solid eighth notes throughout, and an absolute monster song.

@johngallaghermusic9777 6 месяцев назад

This demontrates the importance of the groove thats paramount when playing bass regardless of whether its one note or many. Thanks Julia. Great work and playing is very cool.

@134rwa 6 месяцев назад

This shows how a bass line doesn't have to be super sophisticated to be the heart of the groove. I don't play or read music, but I got a cheap bass, and a small amp, watched videos, and learned Poppa was a Rolling Stone, Haha. Thanks to your video, I now have a few more I can easily learn,

The best thing about 'simple' bass lines is that they show how important the stops are. As a new bassist, 10 years ago, I saw Ocean Colour Scene play an acoustic set and the bassist left more space than he played notes. It was a very important lesson for me and I'm glad Julia points this out (around 4minutes). Get this in to your head and work on it. I have played guitar for over 30 years and that lesson I learned on bass also improved my guitar playing.

@gcvrsa 6 месяцев назад

The thing I love about simple bass lines is that it actually doesn't work for most songs, because we expect to hear certain types of harmonic shifts in music, so it's rare to be able to play a single figure or two over an entire song and have it make musical sense. What I think a lot of people don't understand is, harmonically-speaking, you aren't just "playing the same note", because as the tonal center of the song shifts, the position of that note in the scale changes relative to the harmonic structure, so technically, you aren't playing the same note any longer.

Great exercise! I've played a long time, and discovered that it's a good thing to go back to concentrating on 1, then 2, then 3 strings. Allows you to focus on Timing and Space basics. Kinda zen....

@midnightterminal8206 Месяц назад

Playing bass myself, I have to say: The dead notes in "Papa was a Rolling Stone" are super important for the groove and not easy to play (especially not so smooth and in time like Julia does) and yes, in theory "Lose Yourself" is easy - but killing it so consistently and in time like Julia does is crazy good!

As a total beginner (I have had a bass for only two weeks) I found this vid by Julia truly wonderful! In my early 50's, this was so much fun. I have practiced an hour every night on basic chords and lines, but this helped me feel like I was playing music! So much fun which is why I want to play. Have picked up my banjo too and have practiced it an hour also. Lessons for both scheduled in the new year. Julia, thank you so much for this and all of your videos. Your enthusiasm for the bass and your easy manner in teaching is truly wonderful!

@DanCourtemanche 12 дней назад

As a beginner in the literal meaning of the term, not a beginner from another instrument, not a beginner who has learned the basics, but a true beginner, I find it a huge barrier that every bass teacher for beginners chooses songs that are too hard, or that only have an easy riff, but the rest of the song is impossible for a true beginner. Can we please start with a song which is slow and easy from beginning to end? Beginners need enough time to get their hands and fingers in position, figure out muting, play along in time and pick the stirngs properly. That is a ton to keep track of. A song please, that's slow, easy, just quarter notes, beginning to end. Not just riffs, not just intros, but a recognizable song easy enough that you could put a bass in the hands of someone who has never played an instrument, and can play along. I hope you take this to heart Julia
