Great lesson! I’m not essentially a bass player but do a lot of composition, these lessons are a great help when it comes to laying down a bass line cheers.

Fantastic lesson. Great teaching style.

Wow I wish when I was younger you were my bass teacher you have given a lot of useful information and are very informative to bass players who just can't get a grip on playing what they want to play.

Dan, this is such a helpful lesson. I am learning bass for my ukulele group, and am constantly needing to play bass to songs I’ve never heard before and know only vaguely. I read music so that’s a bit of a help, but playing to lyrics and chords when you don’t even know how many bars on each chord….it’s all quite demanding. This is such a help. Thank you. I will keep practicing my scales 😂

For a lot of gigs, I’ve currently been using a MarkBass 12 combo with the extension cabinet. It’s very powerful for most gigs! Sometimes it’s a no amp stage and sometimes I’ll use rented backline if it’s a bigger gig.

Dan I’ve not been here for a while. You know what is surprising is how much I have improved without me realising. You have been such a MASSIVE help. Funny story. I own a squier P bass and decided I will treat myself to a fender jazz. Went to play one and it was like I didn’t know how to play the bass😂. I switched to the fender P bass and it felt normal. Weird as I broke my wrist when I was a teenager and always felt a jazz would help due to slimmer neck.

It's just what your used to. The J would feel easy to play with some time with it. I learnt on an ibanez fretless by accident lol. Other basses I owned seemed relatively easy to play after that, but there's always something that might require some time with a different bass till it feels comfortable in your hands. Cheers

@@soulstart89 yeah I've played that one too, another nice bass. It wasn't luck though 🤔. I didn't know it was fretless or what fretless was at that stage. I knew very little about bass. I saw it in a store, wanted it and bought it without even trying it lol. It did help in a lot of ways with finger stretching, intonation or pitch, devolping my ears etc. I began learning with a beginners bass book. It taught 12 bar blues, counting and reading. It was so helpful as it builds a strong base to build from. After a year or so I got some lessons to improve some technical issues and in the first lesson my teacher, grabbed my bass to tune it. He said, oh you have a fretless. I was like, yeah, what's that haha.

Hope you don't mean the lesson is terrible? Are you referring to putting what Dan has put forward in this lesson into action is difficult for you. As Dan said, take it slow and practice regularly and before you know it, this will seem easy. Also Dan, a song break down of Stings, Let your soul be your pilot, would illustrate what you showed in the pop bass line part of the video. Simple and effective beautiful line. The note choices, note lengths and the timing/ feel. There's other songs, but this one popped straight into my head when watching that part. Cheers

My reaction is tha this finger effect by muting n' not muting turned the hole practicing to a further level. In my mind there's enough of obstacle to pass through. It's like adding another tool. ...and this said (ment) in a very humoroues angle. (gonna listening to Sting... //stay cool.
