    I'm a visual person with little musical talent but enjoy performing stuff with my bass. Whenever I'm thinking of basslines, I think 'em in patterns on my fretboard. So this was INCREDIBLY helpful.

    This single handedly solved all my issues with chords scales and improv. All the theory stuff got my brand all twisted around itself but literally just watchjnf this video i was able to jam out and have a half decent sounding bass line for the first time ever. Bless you, you are my saviour. The only thing holdinf me back now is drilling it into my muscle memory

    Improvising is more about feel, you’re expressing your rhythmic feel of the song, all you need to do is know where every note is and your chords, after that you don’t need a video like this! Man don’t you know how many self taught bassist have had hit records! Juna Serita the Japanese bassist is self taught, in her video it took her 2yrs. There’s another white female that’s self taught but so good that she’s sponsee by Carvin, Music Man, and Fender, along with other companies! The most horrible experiences I’ve ever had was playing bass for mechanical guitarist- all text book but had no feel for any music, their sound was flat and empty despite knowing what chords to play! Just learn your fretboard and chords, then improvise with what you’re feeling from the song you’re playing and how you vibe with the rest of the band- the great John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin was classically trained for bass and piano but he said he threw all that out the window and learned to play by feel!

    @@tedbogan6099 the rant feels a bit unecessary. I am mostly self taught, the only thing I've ever needed to look up was improv. Because the thing is that I simply can't comprehend what notes are where or what keys or chords I'm playing in. I'm like dyslexic for music it doesn't click no matter what. Nothing I've been done has been mechanical or by the books any professional who'd look at how I'd play could probably tell me a thousand ways I'm being inefficient but that doesn't matter cause my way works for me. But I can't do improv on my own, coming up with rhythms in my head, that idea of "feeling the music", knowing what notes to play in what keys, it doesn't click in my head no matter what. Same with playing by ear and same with sheet music it just doesn't work for me. And that's fine. Because I know what does. Instead of lecturing people online who found something that works for them, why not take time to understand that some people simply are gifted with music and some aren't. And for those who aren't these types of videos and help are necessary to deepening their understanding of playing. Because not everyone is the same and for some people they just need to go about it in a different way

    @@tedbogan6099 your entire comment is basically going "hey I know you found something that works for you but fuck you here's a list of a bunch of skilled people who did it differently and I think that way is better so do that". And I don't think you understand exactly how condescending you're being. Also, I'm gonna assume you think I'm new to bass. I've been playing bass for 6-7 years, I also took music as my major for 7 years prior. And yet despite all of that neither "feeling" the music or classical learning has helped me.

    The imrov on the 8th step was pretty cool. But I think one more step could be included - Articulation. You can articulate the same notes in different ways. You could add hammer-ons and pull-offs, slides, slaps n pops, tapping, harmonics, ghost notes, etc. to make your improvisation sound even better using the same notes and rhythm. It also gives it character.

    You're completely right! Also dynamics, build ups, repetition etc. will make the improvisation come to life. In this video I focus on the music theoretical part. This overview is just a starting point. There's definitely so much more to add!

    I told someone that I am learning to improvise bass lines, and he said it's "lead bass", and it's too busy, keep it simple. But improvising is as simple as playing the root note with a clever rhythm. If you have the talent, and knowledge you can make a simple root note sound great by improvising the rhythm.
