I like shapes but idk. Idk the notes. I have no clue what he means when he says ok kids go on the b note then your going to go onto the f and then c#. If he said ok go from the 4th fret on the A string to the 7th fret on the d string to the 5th fret on the e string.

Hello again, Mark. Question: Do you ever get cramps in your hand between the index and thumb when using a pick? I assume you used to be a finger player in the past (how long since you switched?). I'm 48 and have been playing for 35 years and my hand will cramp up sometimes when using a pick, thus I play fingerstyle...(plus Davie says it's illegal). If I ever have dexterity issues I would be screwed! Thanks and stay safe

@@bassclefconnoisseur..... The answer to your issue with cramps is.... you are Mineral deficient, like about 97 percent of the US population.... go to a "Health Food" Store (but NOT someplace like "GNC" or whatever) or go On-Line and search for Concentrace Minerals (from Great Salt, Utah).... it's approximately $24.00 for an 8oz. bottle.... it will do you wonders for your finger cramps and Many other "issues" that you may not even be aware of. I use to get leg & hand/finger cramps, about 28 years ago... someone else told me about the minerals. I have not had Any cramping at all now in almost 28 years.... since I started putting Concentrace Minerals in all my drinking water, Daily. Here is the direct link to that particular product on the Mfgr's website in Utah....www.traceminerals.com/product/concentrace-trace-mineral-drop - their showing the "suggested mfgr's retail price" at $34.97 for the 8oz bottle, but it's always cheaper in the Health Food stores. Also, if you go on-line to this link... www.vitacost.com/trace-minerals-research-trace-mineral-drops-concentrace-8-fl-oz-4 - you can get the same Concentrace "Trace Mineral Drops" in the 8oz bottle for $22.88. I know it sounds a little bit spendy, but it will do wonders for you.... I take a full measured Teaspoon mixed in with my drinking water... about 3/4ths of a gallon, every day. They have many different products with minerals.... "Trace Mineral Drops" is the one you need.

I’ve been playing bass for a couple years now. I’ve taught myself how to read and sight read sheet music for bass. But this video, this is so good. Thank you so much for your hard work on this channel!

Honestly probably one of the most easy to follow and understand bass fill videos I’ve ever watched! Thank you!

Your tutorials are brilliant. Taking bass instructional videos to a new higher level of production. Thank you 😊

Thank you so much for your "shapes" teachings. I've been playing for 42 years and my slap technique is so advanced everyone assumes I know a bunch of theory, but I just think in shapes. You've given me a name for what I do and given me a bunch of new ideas. Thanks so much.

I'm a beginner to moderate amateur guitar player and watching bass videos like this great bass video has really given me some material to work with and given me some great playing ideas etc... thx!

Your contents are amazingly created.. The humour here and there takes the pressure away.. Gut gemacht 👌🏾

Old guy that started playing bass in the 70s, stopped playing for a long time and picked it back up. Josh has nuggets of wisdom that are valuable for all levels of bass players and a wonderful presentation style! Glad you are around to help teach the next generation!

I am a guitar player and because of your KZread teaching , now i can play bass parts of my songs. And I love Bass , it recovers me from monotonous guitar playing.

Been playing about 15 years always pick up something useful from your videos...great teaching

Thanx a lot. As an advanced bassplayer with some exprience on stage I really like your videos. Clearly structured, motivating, straight effort and a well balanced learning-curve. Like! :) Best regards from Germany.
