Thanks and you're welcome!!

Another useful vid charles. Thanks

You are a great teacher.

You always do such a good job in the presentation of excellent information. I greatly appreciate you attention to avoiding the “uhmms, uhhhs,” etc. Thank you.

Hey Charles! I always liked harmonics, but I not really quite get how should I use them in my basslines. Can you make a video about how can we use them?

I love b5 (flat 5)chords. First encountered them in jazz.

Incredible and simple, just the way I like it

Such a great and helpful KZreadr

Subscribed to your 2nd channel, great new kind lesson I have not seen elsewhere!

Thabks so much, greay video

Great approach Charles! Love the exercises. I’m predominantly fretless, but these are great intonation/technique challenges also with the theory. Definitely incorporating it into practice! 😎🎸🎶🙏🏼

Then learn the full modes in each key. Then learn them spanning multiple octaves at once. Add some walking bass in your downtime. And you'll be a monster in no time. Thanks Charles!

Thank you man

Thank you!

Thank you, Sir ❤❤❤❤

"Without further ado" is the new "literally".

If a bass is “tuned in fourths” why is one string lower a fifth

@lynnmatsui

6 ай бұрын

They go up in fourths (E A D G) but the inverse of a fourth is a fifth so if you look at them from the high end each string goes down a fifth from the previous one.

Charles need your expert opinion I've been taking bass lessons for over 1 and a half years have around 2000 dollars invested in lessons and equipment feel I may not be getting anywhere I have been told I should be playing in a band by now can only play with a pick want to make a go with playing the bass please give me some advice Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours and take care.

Thank you for the video. It would be helpful in future videos if you could highlight which fingers you are fretting with as it can be difficult to tell at times. 😊

This guy is a master bassist musically intelligent if I may

I wish the tab sheet wasn't in the area with the video playing controls - I can't see what notes are going on

do you have a fender jazz bass. i love channel you inspired me to play bass

What software do you use to create your own sheet music? And additionally, does that same software come with the beat ruler?

Another greater tutorial, Charles. Much appreciated. I see you use a barre with your little finger to play both the 5th note and the octave when playing the triads on the major keys. I'm afraid my pinky is still too weak to cover the A and D strings simultaneously (no problems with the D and G strings, though), so is it alright to just use the ring finger (on the 5th note) and the little finger (on the octave) instead? PS: Have you a tip for strengthening the pinky?

I have been a bass instructor for many years, and I stress the importance of pinky 'barring' to all of my students. There are some simple exercises that will help the pinky improve it's strength and ability to barre. Do whatever you can to train your fretting pinky to keep it's normal bend at the main knuckle, while encouraging it to bend /flex in the reverse direction at the smaller (first) knuckle. You can practice this on the tabletop by flattening your entire hand on the table, then raise your main knuckles while keeping the fingerprints flat on the table. This will demonstrate the 'main' knuckles being bent normally, while the smaller knuckles will be gently bent 'backwards'. You can do this same exercise by pressing both hands together, like 'praying hands'. Keep your fingerprints firmly pressed together while bending at the main knuckle. This will really demonstrate the 'backward' flex you're looking to develop in the pinky. Lastly, try experimenting with different angles and hand positioning in your fretting hand to facilitate this backward pinky flex. Relax, and find out how to best get your pinky to cooperate with this flex, and in no time you will improve at being able to barre across the 5th and the octave. Cheers!

I have tried to watch videos on chords and always been so confused about what they are talking about when they start throwing out fifths and thirds ;~;

I see these and I don't even play bass. Also, that bass is majestic and I want it

Is triad the same as appregio?

@elliotglaser1718

You can arpeggiate up a triad. Arpeggio just means to play the notes of a chord sequentially by themselves, not at the same time as a chord.

Or as Adam Neely would say, 18th century western European music theory.

Funny how I got a simply guitar ad while watching this

He looks like charls brown.

kinda sounds like a final fantasy ambient track at the end

Guess I need a vocab lesson before this... Cause I understood none of this...

please restring the bass to your right xd

MOST OF THE VIEWERS IN YOUR CHANNEL ARE PROBABLY PROFESSIONAL AND INTERMEDIATE SO I WILL WANT AND SUGGEST YOU TO SHARE THE TECHNIQUES AND THE SOUNDS YOU USE IN YOUR SONGS AND VIDEOS...

You forgot the absolute basics of music theory: when the teacher says to play the higher string, he means the string below. Seriously, avoid using words like higher and lower when you are talking about the fretboard.
