THIS is what I have been looking around for so long! Thank you for your efforts Luke. You've made what I thought was so complex, so much easier to understand. Awesome work and Thanks again.

@@BecomeABassist None of what you're doing makes sense. You're not pointing to anyone's work for context. Even the dullards at Guitar Center are better at your rubbish than you. Why? People pay for their rubbish and walk out saying nothing, same as watching this BS.

You just got me over the hump. Been trying to play for 8 months now. watching every lesson on KZread and getting a little frustrated. this just got me into the fun mode. Thank you for this. I mean it Thank you.

That's so cool! Thanks so much for watching @Mark Biallas!

Really simple lessons, much appreciated. These them things I already know, but can still appreciate the simplicity of it to review.

This is extremely helpful to me. Although the kind of bass I play is an acoustic, these really boost up my sound when I play. My friend who’s a country guitarist, really likes my blues bass playing. And we’re both considering combining our sound together with a cajon as our percussion. Endless thanks for this lesson, man.

Perfect. This is exactly what I needed to get me started. Plus the presentation is competent, crystal clear, and concise. Many thanks Luke!

Outstanding lesson. Great introduction to blues bass playing. I played blues electric bass almost exclusively for over 10 years including hosting blues jams and I used these patterns in various modifications more times than I can imagine. I wish I had this when I was starting. Back when I got my start it was through a lot of listening to records to pick these up.

I’m a guitar player. Screwing up bass lines. This. Totally straighten it all out for me . I’m playing better. Thanks so much

Hero! Thanks!

I have been playing these for a long time, and even used them in live shows. what I struggled with teaching myself with books but YOU made it so simple. Thank you so much.

This is literally the perfect video for someone falling in love with blues. It couldnt have been more straight forward, informative, and consistent. Thank you so much!

Ive been playing for 30 years but I always return to keep my foundation rock solid Thanks Luke...more blues bass please,as their are endless variations....cheers

Hi Luke! Thanks you for sharing this ... great lesson! I really like the way you break things down, provide real world music/song examples, and explain how to use them. You do a great job presenting in this video.

Thank you SO much Luke. Your sharing of this wonderful genre of music is exactly what I have been most eager to pick up. Thank you!!!

I can’t believe it I have played guitar for a long time and wanted to play bass, but it seemed very complex until I came across this. Now all of a sudden it’s there it all becomes clear. Like another comment “I’ve waited for this for years” the best and easiest practical explanation I’ve come across. Brilliant thank you!

Luke, thanks for the lesson. I have played guitar for a long time and started with bass a year ago. This is the best lesson I have found. thanks.

I used to play guitar 10 years ago, some guys want me to play with them so I got a bass. I find your channel the best. Thanks.

Glad to see someone on youtube explaining lessons at a level that everyone can understand. You are an excellent teacher and did an awesome job of explaining all of this. Thank you.

Thanks so much Franko - I really appreciate it. I'm really glad you like the explanation!

As always, Luke, your lessons are concise, precise and to the point, and backed up with great tab and notation downloads. Another satisfied Kiwi from New Zealand.

Thanks Luke. Great tutorial. Just the right amount of information without all the endless rambling on and on. Quite refreshing. Good on you!!!

Thank you so much for such a good lesson. This was so informative, it is literally gold. Especially for beginners. Thank you again, you truly are a excellent teacher.

This is a great tutorial, perfectly explained, thanks!

luke! thank you so much for taking the time to make this excellent video. it's exactly the foundation for fun walking bass lines i was looking for. and that's not as easy to find as one might think. when i searched only 'walking bass lines' nothing but jazz vids came up. no offense to the jazz heads, but i don't even know how they can call them walking. then i tried 'non-jazz walking bass lines' and still no luck. it finally dawned on me to try 'rock and pop walking bass lines' and that's how i got here :) thanks again for your effort . these are fun to play.

This is a mind opening. I can touch the music now. Thank you.

Herzlichen Dank - echt super gemacht und erklärt. Und die Musik für zuhause zum Üben... Thank You!

Youve earned a subscriber. You opened the door that made me realize the beauty of Blues. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I've been playing the bass for over 30 years and this series is the most practical, sensible and useful set of lessons I've discovered in ANY format! High praise indeed...For the beginner and intermediate player this is the QUICKEST way to become a: well, er...a BASSIST!(as long as you stick with it consistently). Whilst not designed for the rock star, it's still a great refresher and an inspiration for the experienced player. Put it this way-"there's a smorgasbord of epicurean delights" just waiting for the low frequency aficinado to DISCOVER(or re-discover if that is your want)... Greetings from a Washington State, USA; dyed in the wool hair farming purveyor of dinosaur ROCK!

This lesson is exactly what I started with in the late 60s. It immediately had me playing Bluesbreakers, Fleetwood Mac, Ten Years After and many more covers in a band. Well done.

Great lesson, Luke. Thanks for PDF.

Greetings from the Philippines ❤

Very well explained. That's the tutoring style that I like. I play guitar but now I'm going to dig out a bass I have and try and try to learn some over the festive period.

Thanks, so much!!! This what I was looking for. These Blues bass formulas are excellent!!!

Thanks Luke, great overview, excellent details, good pace for a guy like me who has some basic knowledge to follow along. Really appreciate the downloads. God bless.

Great stuff Luke! I recently started playing again after a break of 15 years. I'm finding so much great stuff on the internet. I just found your site and I am super excited to explore it. Great teaching.

Hello Luke, I just want to echo Reverend Rodinal's comment. I play on my church's worship team and have been stuck for a long time. Looking forward to making some serious progress. Thank you!

thank you. I'm working on a piano/guitar/flute jungle theme and realised I need some blues bass theory. Your explanations came right handy

Thank you so much, it's been quite a helpfull video due to its clarity of concepts and the way of exposure!!! Congrats, sure you helped another bass player to keep on keeping on!!! Thnx 4 shrn!!!

Luke, Thank you. I have suscribed to your guide, it was your video that showed how to play "seven nation army" and "stand by me" that introduced me to your lessons. For ages people have been trying to explain # and b notes, your matrix showed me. So thank you and I wish you continued success

Luke.... you have provided a good foundation for the blues. It's all useable stuff. Anyone learning to play bass needs to grab what they can from as many sources as possible. This is just one of them. Pay no attention whatsoever to all these idiots and know-it-alls who are criticizing what you are doing.

Just what I’ve been searching for! thank you! It’s so easy!

nice to have finally some accurate description to Blues

This is fantastic! I am learning all the scales and stuff, but this is so simple to follow, thanks for the downloads also

I bought a book of transcriptions of Donald ‘Duck’ Dunn’s playing. The number of variations he puts into Sweet Home Chicago [which follows a 12 bar shuffle pattern] from the Blues Brothers is amazing! You can probably say that for all his playing in the Blues Brothers actually. Well worth a listen.

Great video! This should be required learning for all bass players.

Thank you so much for doing these videos

Thanks Luke, great video, looking forward to trying these out.

Thank you so much for this video. After learning guitar for a few years am now learning the electric bass. These basic blues patterns are so useful. Thanks again. Have subscribed for more videos.

You have impeccable teaching skills. I wish l had seen this video earlier. It is simple and sweet. Thanks.

So simple in your hands thanks for this good job 😉👍

You instructions are very understandable. You call notes you have tabs. Clear instructions thank you 👍👍 You Rock

Blues ? I like Blues, and i can a little bit play the Blues. Thank you for the Tablature Bro Luke, it's really help me to play the Bass.

WOW I am into the third section and this just makes sense- you broke this down so well it makes sense musically!! And the real world examples are a great addition.

Excellent beginner bass lesson, I've been back to it a couple times (as a so-so guitar player, getting interested in the bass).

Thank you Luke, you'll never know how much that helped me. The close ups on the frets answered everything!

Thanks friend

I have attempted to play the bass for several years and never continue to actually play but once with a small band. I am trying once again and the blues is what I love and I appreciate you for simply sharing and explaining things. My challenge is I have small hands and arthritis pain keeps me from playing too long. My pinky finger can’t even reach the E string with enough strength and I find I lift my fingers away too often. Suggestions? So far- lighter gauge strings, small scale fretboard etc. Right now I have at least made fifteen minutes a day a first goal. As I get my callouses built up I am remembering scales and practicing them.

Luke than you a lot, your methodes are interesting and very easy to understand. support with pdf and backing track are perfect, well done

Hey brother wanted to thank you for the blues riffs awesome .... God bless

Thank you sir, appreciate yours lessons

Luke thanks!!! Amazing. Simple to understand and I am encourage to practice my bass more. ❤❤

Thanks Luke! This will be my focus in the studio tomorrow........

Thanks a lot for the PDF and mp3's from the Netherlands!

Great teaching video, it's much easier to learn and understand what I'm seeing and hearing. Thanks for including song and artists to help understand what you've taught. When you play an example, what/where is the music tempo coming from? I would like to have it to practice and learn different techniques. Thank you.

it's very simple and perfect tutorial👍

I have just bought a bass and love the blues so many thanks for your excellent video

I'm not a bassist but ur tutorial is awesome! Simple and straight forward. Greetings from the States!

thanks, this is very helpful and what I was looking for

Thank you very much for each lesson and for all these detailed stuff you prepared too.

These are great lessons. Thanks Luke!

Amazing video! Now I just need a bass so I can start practicing. Been playing the guitar for 15 years so I can play the progressions. I’m just not used to playing blues on a bass. This is a perfect way to get started.

Thank you so much for making this video.

Thank you so much for your lessons, Luke. I took up bass about a year ago, (60 is the new 40) and i was just winging it, once i started subscribing to and following your videos. i have improved a 100 fold... You are awesome man ..

Best straight forward bass guy eva 🤟

I am a bassist wannabe, and this really helps, Straight to the point and very simple. Thank You!

Thanks 😊. I'm new to Bass. I play by ear because I never learned how to read the bass clef. So thanks for displaying written music. Tabs are also good training wheels.😎

Best I ve seen yet for starters thank you

thank you very much! i was looking for that kind of wonderfull thing to begin to play!thanks from France

Thanks much. This was great in that I am not a bass man but need a little theory for bass on keys. Thanks much Schreff

Thank you so much Luke !

Thanks from Spain !!

great job, i always get back to basic when even i get stuck in my playing.. every time it gives new ideas.. thanks

That was so simple but sick 🤙

You really made a good job! I hope I'll start to play my Ibanez soon

Well done! Simple, clear and great! Thank you.

Your explanation and teaching method is wonderfull, thank you very much, Excelent!

This is great! My friend has just started playing a Harmonica, it'll be great play to along....

Thx from the Netherlands! great work!!

This is great. And thanks so much for suggested listening for songs that use these approaches.

This is informative bro... i will surely practice these things you've shown.....i appreciate also how you play the bass, so smooth...tnx bro.....i will gonna subscribe

Extremely informative for blues bass foundation.

Thanks. Love your Blues

"Yeah? Yeah?" This is gold for starting bass players. I'm a guitarist of 25yrs, recently picked up a bass to play around with mainly so I can lay down backing tracks for my home guitar recordings. This is a great starting point to embellish upon, thanks.

Awesome bud i love keeping these simple concepts while have a lot of versatility,

Cool. The guitar player in he first band I was in in 1969 showed me some of those lines and I've been using them ever since.

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing this.

Lovely bro... Very informative

Thanks Luke! Great tutorial! Happily subscribed.
