Amazing to find that in another dimension, Oscar de la Hoya was an English bassist!

After 2 years of following many different Bass tutors/players & trying to learn bass/music theory, rather than just learning songs by fret numbers (which i do as well) i have finally found your website Dan. I find your relaxed, most informative no bullshit approach to teaching , is helping me move ahead so much quicker now. (played in band as 16 y o, picked it up again at 68 ) regards from Aus.

There are a ton of arpeggios for bass here on KZread. This is by far the best presented of all of them.

Another good one Dan,(there's really no bad ones.) It is always good to realize that you know some of these things but only didn't know the technical terms and of course a "Dan's way" of making it easier.

Hi,what a great lesson....It opens up a new world of practice to me.As a beginner I need guidance to finger my way through jazz-standards.....This is well explained and played!!Thank you very much !I ordered your book right away....Greetings Niko

You just blew my mind as I move my bass playing and instruction into more jazz, you just brought something I hadn’t even thought of yet. Correct me if I’m wrong please, but it seems you are beginning an arpeggio on a root but then the 3rd or 5th is moved to a different position on the fretboard to complete the arpeggio... mind blown. And it was too obvious. And then you discuss and illustrate starting an arpeggio on the 3rd, or 5th instead of the root and practicing that concept until it’s fluid. It seems like this is unlocking being a creative musician rather than a perfect robotic, boring representation of root based musicianship. Mind blown again. Thank you so much for your instruction Dan. I’m now going to watch everything you have done! And practice and explore options all over the fretboard.

Thanks, Tony! Yes, I was changing patterns around. All of my videos present options really. There's no right or wrong way of doing anything and the biggest benefit comes from listening to your favourite players and figuring out what they're doing. It'll be the things I teach in some of my lessons! Once you get the connections, a world of possibilities open up. Keep it up!

brilliant you da MAN ! THANKS FOR SHARING

Hi Dan, working through your Motown Basslines currently I follow your lessons as well. What do you recommend to play when a 6 chord is noted? Do you replace the 5 and 7 with the 6? Thanks a lot for your reply. Thomas

@OnlineBassCourses

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Thomas! There aren't really any rules here. The 5, 6, and 7 all fit and will 'work'. You used whatever you want to. 6 doesn't mean you have to use that. Especially as a bass player...

Thank you Dan, that makes it easier. Thought a 5 or 7 could "bite" with the 6 in e.g. the noted guitar chord. Best regards Thomas

Thanks for the lesson! Uncomplicated and love the enlarged tab display. BTW...I guess you're a pretty busy musician, but do you provide bass tabs for a fee? I've been trying to learn 'More' by Simply Red & 'Food for Thought' by UB40 by listening & just can't crack them. There are tabs out there but they are not correct and sound off!

I’ll do a lesson. It’s basically an arpeggio that starts on the 3rd, 5th, or 7th. That’s inverting the arpeggio…
