I have been enjoying learning some basic tabs. But I felt that if I want to get the most out of my bass I need to learn this stuff so I can experiment more. There is only so many times I can play the same basic bass lines from popular songs before that becomes boring. It's like "ahh yeah... the chain again... that's cool... anyway"

I've been playing for... jeeze.... 24 years I guess. Although this is stuff I figured out, obviously, it would have been awesome to have had someone show me in my first year. You really are an excellent teacher. Subbed.

Most people are deterred from playing bass at some point, and most people don't start with a bass as their first instrument, Most people want to play a lead role, becoming a bassist makes that challenging. However, we are stepping into endgame territory for music, everything seems to be some kind of fusion these days, and bass is always there. Get creative 😎

On the off chance you've gotten tone deaf to how awesome you are.... Beginner to badass series legit made bass fun. I have tried so many methods for learning so many instruments and your free videos combined with your course is easily one of the most comprehensive ways ive learned, anything really. I just wanna say thank you, and the feeling never gets old of realizing how much youve progressed music in general through your tutorials and lessons. So much jam has been put out into the world because of you, THANK YOU

I’m just loving the subtle Flight of the Conchords Melodie’s in the transition cards… brilliant!

In my 3 months of playing bass i watched this video over 10 times and im only now starting to get it

Playing an instrument honestly changed my life, I’m not any good yet but I just started playing bass and my dad got me an electric drum set recently and it’s nice to have all these videos to help me out. I’m planning on taking your course it seems really useful for starting out on the bass. Such a beautiful instrument.

Love these lessons. The "painter's pallet" analogy is one of the best I've heard.

I stopped the video at the C Major Scale and spent the following 30 minutes or so going around and around it. Wonderful!

Awesome content. I've struggled for a while to ubderstand how scales are actually used in a chord progression. Most other KZread bass teachers only show you the notes of the scale but none of then teach you how ti actually use it in a real time situation. I salute you sir for your practical approach and for actually taking the time to show us noobs how to use the damn thing after you show it to us. I will be a subscriber forever.

Ive been playing guitar since i was 15, starting in the early 90s (im 45 now). While I love it I wanted a change, plus people love female bass players.and bass players are hard to find. So i made the switch to bass about 6 months ago. Bass is a whole different monster and Ive learned a lot from your videos. Not only am i a better guitar player but your videos have made me a way better bassist and allowed my band to play more complex cover songs. great videos

This video helped me start seeing it all come together. I had only been playing the c maj scale while I’m learning, I hadn’t thought about moving it around the fretboard at all. So you showed me that, then you showed me all the major scales are the same shape. Thanks for that. This is gonna help me reel it all in.

You have really good teaching skills...very animated and creative so as to keep attention and your points are spot on...great job.

"Fun does not compute." 😂 LOL, that's actually my problem. I'm way too darn patient, and can drill things way too long. No, that doesn't help me improve, that means I wait too long to move on. 😟
