I remember skipping this lesson when it came out 6 years ago XD I;m back sensei

Freaking brilliant. I was just shouting `BUM` in various notes in my bedroom, but brilliant nonetheless. A million thanks, as always.

Been playing bass for years and this is such a great, simple, actionable exercise. I'm getting after it. Thanks Mark!!!

You are an amazing teacher Mark.... I have never progressed in musicianship but your lessons make so much sense to me.

Thanks, sir. You make me feel better. I felt I couldn’t get any progress in ear training before.

Another fantastic lesson, very much appreciated 👍👍

You are certainly brave for demonstrating ear tones with the bass - well appreciated and a great tip on becoming musically competent. I am taking your reading music course and have gained a lot from your lesson plan.

Great lesson, great production value, as always, well done

Very good 💓 lessons Bass guitar Mark J Smith's

Thanks a lot for this exercise! This is perfect♥️

Thank you Mark

Great lesson, Thank you so much!

love this tutorials

Great help. Thank you.

Best learning tool that I have ever seen. Ike

Hi Mark, this ear training tutorial is so awesome. I'm waiting for the next lesson of this series!

Brave! But well done! Loved it, and learned something useful! Cheers!

Perfect. Thank you very much

Great Mark ! When is the next lesson is coming ? So important to identify intervals without using try and error way ! ( may be for me ! ) When I transcribe , I hate try and error way.( I know that 99% of people do it ) But How to grab in my brain where the intervals are ? Do you get any exercise to incorporate intervals sound in your brain ? Some people use famous songs beginning to remember the sound of an interval. For example : Superman song ... ta ta ta taaa. it is a perfect 5 ? Is it that the way to do it ? thanks a lot Mark! Juanki Funki

My biggest issue when trying to repeat the note is that I don't know if it's right. I get that there should be a resonance, like if you play two As on the fifth and 7 fret, but I can't recreate that in my head. Any tips for achieving this?

HowToEos You should aim to simply hear a recreation of the note in your head. Just keep trying and,most importantly, sing the note back to yourself with the bass note. That way you can literally hear both notes together and compare them.

U r awesome man

Thanks a lot!

Merci for this.

That's a good idea it helps

thanks sir,, i m practicing low notes now

hi mark is there a part 2 on this?

You are a great teacher of bass. Be blessed always.

Hi mark, what type of pickups do you use?

VERY HELPFUL INDEED!

This is great, question? Sometimes i seem to be unable to hear certain notes, like wholes in my hearing. Is this common.

Very common. Notes and intervals can sound very different in different contexts. How many contexts are there?

Just don't do this exercise in an airport.

One year later SR _17 drum machine. Find the notes on the drum machine. Nuff said. The patterns on bass.

I hum and... dude, did you just play the melody to "Whistle while You Work"? and am I expected to be able to whistle it?

The E really vibrates through my whole head haha

I need to change my word i kept saying bum and it made me laugh so i might use Hum instead :)

Build up a powerful ear for music. Google for Mnemonics for Perfect Pitch.

Solfège!

There's a donate button on the website. It's in the sidebar. Not on the first page though. It used to be but I've been messing around with the layout. Try the Lesson Map page.

TalkingBass Video I thought my bass was the only bass that buzzed like that. I thought something was wrong with my bass. Knowing that your bass also buzzes like that makes me feel very happy.

It's because I've just got new strings and a low action. I also need to sort out my trussrod a little. Shows up more on the recording than through an amp. If you want to get rid of the buzz usually raising the action a touch can help but first of all make sure your trussrod isn't too tight or loose. If the relief is too far one way you'll get buzz in certain parts of the neck.

Sir this bass model No. Plz

yap sessison my god

BUUUUUM

You're singing isn't terrible. As a teacher, modeling negativity is sub optimal.

Solfege Markie...not "Bom"😉 do re mi fa sol la ti doooooo! do ti la sol fa mi re doooooo!
