This is arguably the greatest bass tutorial video on YoutTube. Give a man a lick, he'll play for a day, Teach a man the theory, he'll play for a lifetime. You've given me enough to really develop my creativity, Thanx Sean!!

You are a very good teacher man. Can't find a lot of people like you with 1 the skill set, 2 the ability to teach, and 3 the WILLINGNESS to share what they know. Keep them coming man and may God RICHLY bless you.

Hello Sean, i'm so blessed that i found you...I have been playing the bass now 6 months from nothing, i have a great teacher and all, anyway i wanted more! You are a great teacher, i enjoy it!! i caught on after being lost for a moment..and i asked God,,please help me, and it came..Please keep doing what your doing okay, and God Bless you, Lorriane

Love your endless creativity with the scales. So much fun!

BTW, I'm a pianist/keyboardist, so I'm good with all the theory and concepts. But I've only been playing bass for about a year, so it's a whole new world of finding my way around the fretboard. Phew! So glad I stumbled upon your vids. Thanks!

Flawless....completely flawless! Sir, you have a gift when it comes to teaching, and the passion and love you have for the music just shines through! This video is completely flawless! God Bless you, Sir!!!

thanks for teaching with the number system as well as keys it help a lot. I'm a number system guy mostly. thanks again Sean.

A lot of good useful information, thanks for sharing your knowledge and creativity!

i never thought of using the mixolydian scale. I just learned something new today. AWESOME!!

Loving your teaching,the patterns very interesting., awesome 😊 thanks 🙏👍

Sean, thank you so much for this lesson. As a multi-instrumentalist my bass knowledge has many things I understand very well, but many gaps as well. Most lessons I watch, I come away with one or two things to try out. This lesson, however, had me glued to the screen the whole time. Everything was exactly at the level I needed it, and grew my understanding with every word. Hands down the best lesson I've ever watched. My toolbox just grew by leaps and bounds and all that's left is for me to practice with these new tools. Thank you!

Great video, thanks for making such a detailed and helpful breakdown! Really enjoyed how you took time to discuss the theory behind the lines rather than just the technique! God bless man

Perfect lesson for me. Right material at the right speed. Thank you.

I really enjoyed listening to you today. I have played by ear and need to learn my notes. I am learning them, trying to beat that habit. I will be watching you from now on. God BLESS you in doing this for bass players.

Thank you brother!, May God bless you more and more for HIS GLORY and Kingdom!, awesome!, so good!!! 👍👍👍

I have loved this style of music for a long time, but this is the first video I could find explaining it in a way that is just right for me (keyboard player converted to bass). Thanks man - that is really inspiring!

Sean, Sean, Sean, Thank you for your informative and practical explanation of theory and functionality. I have been looking for someone like you for the longest. I have a much better understanding. I had some many light bulb moments. The positioning of the hand to slide through the Maj and Min Pentatonic scales was most beneficial. My accuracy and speed was improved instantly. Continued.

Fantastic! It would be great if you posted a video with just the backing track at 80 bpm and 120 and 150. Maybe three minutes of each just to give us all a chance to practice with it.

When are you doing more videos? Your videos has taught me how to be fundamentally sound.

Such a helpful video.. thanks!

Really good lesson man!... Got lots from it... Very Practical, can see you could use the techniques in many music settings! G...

Awesome lesson, I'm a bassist in a contemporary Christian Church (Hillsong, Hillsong Young & Free) type music and would love to try to incorporate the walking gospel runs like you present in this video. Thanks so much for doing this, God bless you! You rock!
