I use the "Funk" box in the living room, so I can tell people to "get the funk out", the "Rock" box in the bathroom, so I can tell people "Don't bother knocking, I'm busy rocking", the "Jazz" box in the kitchen so I can tell people "How do you like that for fusion food?" and of course I save my "blues" box for the boudoir. So I can tell people "Don't be confused, we're messing the blues."

Josh, I have played piano for 50 years and graduated music college. I just fell in love with bass 2 years ago. Have become very proficient already and your lessons are such a helpful and breath of fresh air besides playing all my scales, chords, modes, etc. This lesson is very helpful for relaxing and jamming. I like how you show these bass lines in records and that you show the written music as well. Look forward to many more of your lessons...

omfg I just wanna say I love BassBuzz dude. A year ago I picked up the bass and this guy has either directly or indirectly taught me almost everything I know. Also just look at the way he makes these videos, it's insane. There's cool effects, humor, good explanation, tablature. I'm so glad he teaches bass and not like the saxophone or something, cuz otherwise we wouldn't have such an awesome teacher.

This is my favorite video yet! I have to say I am a big fan and have learned much from your videos. The combination of humor, knowledge, and teaching ability is second to none on youtube!! Everything you teach is so practical and you are so down earth playing a squier and not always doing crazy bass fills that don't sound like real music. Thanks again!

Absolutely love your videos!!....not only is the lesson content most helpful for a beginner like myself, but your humor leaves me in stitches! thank you!!

This is golden information for beginners and I'm willing to bet quite a few have been playing for years and have never been taught this technique. If a person looks at the fretboard the way I do, it's a huge combination lock. We can open it up to a point but how much better is it when someone hands you a working combination and you learn where your root notes are Now you can play along with other instruments and backing tracks. You can learn song after song but until you can jam in the correct key your not on the way to being a bonafide , complete musician no matter the instrument. Great lesson👍

I just found this channel like 30 minutes ago and i love it already! Besides the musical knowledge , I like the way you edit the videos - it has a very nice pace. Some channels can be very long-winded and take way too long to get to the point. +Subcribed!

Hello Josh; I really appreciate your teaching. I’ve really grown the five months I’ve been playing my bass…thanks!!!.

Nice! "Blues Box" was the name of a radioshow in the 70s in Germany. I am born 1958...and play bass and guitar...also double bass, but, that has retired, have none. The best way to play for me is: switch off the rationality...dare to play "wrong" notes...as bridges or somehow..just play! Make it "feel good"...You're on the right path.

great video...love the choice of music and the play along...im playing along.

Worth every single $ I'm not a total bass badass because I didn't completed some lessons for example "Higher and higher by Jackie Wilson" but I'm more bass badass now as I was for 6 months. 😬🤘🏼 Next week I'll meet up with some guys for my first jam session / bass audition! Thanks to Joshs course!

There should be a love button....cause ,I'd click it.

Hey Josh, another great video. Keep them coming. I am stuck at home for 14 days because I was out of country and have lots of time to practice. I got your Beginner to Badass learning series a few years ago and then also tried Jamplay and Scotts Bass Lessons. Gotta say that I've learned much more from your videos than from the other two websites combined. The graphics, humour and fun nature keep the interest level up. p.s a video on inversions would be great if you get a chance - or have one already
