I love the 'drop out' demonstration. It shows the value of the bassist keeping time & keeping it simple. Thanks Luke, I'm off to practice!

Really got a lot out of this video! Everyone says 'stay with the kick' but I've never heard it explained so simply - 2 easy steps - which makes it way more understandable and doable. Thanks Luke!

Bah! The thumbnail promised me limit theory.

There are no limits

This is 95% of being a bass player, just playing root notes all day, but if you're a motivated and talented bass player and youve got some good theory knowledge, youll learn to jazz up those notes by using filler notes and throwing in some style, some slap etc. But at its core this is bass playing for a lot of music

I think he’s actually playing in the key of Ahn-Ahn ...

Great video…. But, yes…. Can you remake it without sounding like the third place contestant in a glory hole competition?

Of all the bass lessons on KZread, yours make the most sense. Logical and to the point. 👍

That's exactly what I aim for @Zainad Saad - thanks so much!

I have picked up and set down the bass for over 50 years. I have bought hundreds of dollars worth of books, tapes, cds, DVDs, and equipment. And this what I have been looking for. I can't thank you enough. I'm headed out, right now, to try it again at age 65. When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Thank you, thank you, thank you.💖👍🥰🙋‍♂️...I'm gonna paint by number....at least to start.😉

Awesome @Ken Hieter! And absolutely nothing wrong with painting by numbers at the start. Use the formulas to lay your foundation, and when you're ready, you can build on top of it.

Great advice, for beginners as well as seasoned bassists, nothing wrong with keeping the bass line simple and in time. Most other musicians will appreciate it.

Absolutely, I've cringed at some bands where the bass player and drummer don't listen to each other. Ruins the song as it sounds just off..

This is the most clear lesson I have seen in a while, thank you!

As a complete beginner, what I love about your approach/videos is that you teach the fundamentals of bass playing that can (depending on skill level and creativity) be applied in differenways. Very different to 'impress your friends with these x most famous bass lines"

I find your tutorials very informative and the explanations are most helpful.

You make everything simple and easier to understand.. Thank you sir

Thank you for this video, which has been by far the most useful to me as a beginner bassist. I now play in a 5 piece folk band, where we dont have a percussionist, but I imagine what a drummer might play as a simple rhythm, and make my bass line follow that. It is surprising how a simple "root notes only" bassline can propel a band......

Love your lessons and enthusiasm. Im a guitarist but your lessons make playing the bass so much fun.

Brilliant. Straightforward stuff,which is what most people are looking for. 👍👏👏👏

One of the most helpful videos I've found for bass. So easy I can do it.

Thanks a lot for this wonderful lesson

Hey! I m a song writer,singer and producer and I was trying to make my first song and you helped me a lot

Seriously good for beginners. Am happy i found it!

Thank you bro, for your teaching. You are very good and helpful.. I wish you all the best 👍

Excellently communicated👍👍.. You have connected the dots in a practical manner that just shed Major light on my insight. Thank you!!

Very helpful video! Im a long time rhythm guitar player and I’m just starting out on the bass. So this video helped me understand the foundations for getting started out... I signed up for your Next Level video, can’t wait to keep learning. Thanks so much!!

Really valuable to me!

Awesome video. Loved the comparisons, helps to get the point. Cheers

Brilliant! You are an inspiration mate. Not only that, but you make the student feel that they can achieve what you demonstrate.

Conveniently explained.. great lesson.

This is truly useful , thanks ..

Awesome, Thank U Luke. Exactly what I needed to learn today. May the Force be with U.

Good stuff. This is pretty much what I do to learn a song for the most part, then add in some walking bass transitions between the roots... :)

Nice and simple, and yeah, really powerful! Another way you can have fun with it is how long you hold the notes. Swapping from playing a "long short" pattern, to a "short long" pattern can really change the feel, even though you are still just playing roots and with the kick drum. Its the power we have!! :D

Absolutely Phil! There's so much you can do with so little - and great insight about the length of notes. It's one of the most important parts of a groove that's often glanced over.

FANTASTIC... GOOD WAY OF EXPLAINING

Hey! I like your videos; keep them coming! I did notice that the levels between your voice and when you’re playing are very different. When I have your voice at a comfortable level I can not hear your bass, but if I turn it up so I hear the bass, it sounds like your yelling. If you can fix that, I’m sure myself and others would benefit even more. Thanks again for your content!

great

Nice

This is exactly how I play bass if I haven't taken the time to learn the original line. It feels good to hear a pro teach it that way.
