I am a struggling 76yrs newbie and really have to say thank you for the downloads and help. I wish I could afford one to one lessons with you as you explain everything really clearly. Also your enthusiasm in infectious!!

I LOVE YOU! I am a nearly 40 yo working mum and I am learning bass the last 3 months, no teacher, no time. You are BY FAR my fav KZread teacher. (also, my first language is Spanish so I appreciate the fact that you speak really clearly and put subtitles in you videos). Greetings from Santiago, Chile.

This is great to see the Notation, I had often wondered where the notes fitted on the stave. Thank you for showing that, you certainly take a great deal of care with your free lessons. Great.

luke you are really humble bass player, besides from being genious bass player.. you still humble and trying to share your passion.. thanks for your videos, i've learned lot of it..

This needs to become a series. Ranging from beginner, intermediate and harder basslines. Really helpful videos

hi luke i really want to thank you for these videos you are helping me a lot to learn how to play bass really well and moreover for free, so thank you very much, i hope that soon we will have more videos like that

I've been playing classical guitar for a while but recently picked up my first bass. It really is a lot of fun.

This is how a tutorial should be like! Thanks Luke!!!

Great selections of riffs

Dude! I love these, and they have me playing base and impressing family and friends. The two your missing are the temptations Just my Imagination. and Lovely Day. Just my Imagination is basically one lick all the way through with just a couple of one note breaks. Super easy and a classic base line.

Dude so simple but so affective. Love your way of teaching. Thanks

Great job, man! So much inspiration for a beginner bassist such as myself. If you want to continue the series, might I suggest "Keep the Faith" by Bon Jovi? It might not be their most well-known banger but it's a cool song and an even cooler bassline.

Thank you.

I love the videos being a VERY new beginner, but when your showing finger placement it’s hard to see which finger your using. When I think you using your index your ring finger is on the fret as well. I’m sure when I get the notes learned it won’t be an issue but for now it’s kind of tricky learning what your doing. BUT... I absolutely love the videos! Very informative! Thank you!!!

That's a great riff for an "easy" beginner scale homework. Look up the major pentatonic scale(this is same as major scale minus the 4th and 7th notes, so you end up with only 5 notes....5=penta..get it). Then play this scale or riff(yes same thing) from root to octave. Meaning start on E(fat string) and play the scale up to E(skinny string). Keep on.

The actual bass line is far more nuanced than it seems. It's James Jamerson after all.

Thanks for the lesson. I was just curious why you would't play the Cream riff from the D Minor Pentatonic position? It would seem easier not to have to shift. Thanks!

The Pink Floyd riff fingering is easier to remember if you use the 5th fret notes instead of open strings. It all fits into one hand position. Plus, you don't have to mess with muting the opens.
