Could listen to those first 80 seconds all day long
This is what I call morning Coffee Jazz. It's so pleasing to the ears.
Man, I love your lessons. I've been playing for 20 years, your teaching is the best I've found so far. Thank you for sharing your gifts and art with us!
Thank you so much Eric! Much appreciated :)
I love how you mess up and don’t edit it out it’s more inspiring knowing someone of your caliber still screws up
wow this video cleared up so much confusion I had around approaching soloing THANK YOU
Sleep soloing. Wakes up, instantly presents awesome video. Great work again.
Haha! Caught me :D Thanks man!
Beautiful..intro ..never stop..⭐😎⭐
Thank you for this Anthony.
I'm a new subscriber and what I love most about your tutorials is that you do make little mistakes but that's what most learners need to see to understand that we are not perfect and seeing errors gives us something to improve upon. Too many youtube music channels edit their tutorials to make them perfect and I find puts off learners.
Thanks for the kind words! I absolutely agree. People need to see/hear the imperfections of the shed and that's how one improves. I just want to keep it real and I want folks to see me for what I am and what I bring to the educational aspect. There's no point in NAILING it from a teachers POV, in my honest opinion at least. Once again, thanks for your comment! I'm glad the channel is reaching out to more peeps like you!
What a player......Definitely coming back to this lesson. STILL loving the Album 👍🏽👍🏽
thanks a ton Ernest! Glad you dig the album too!
Great, great tip. Been looking for a straight answer like this about using scales over cords and how to connect them.
best teacher, excellent information, complex things cool explained, thank you !!
Thanks bro that was very educational because bass solos have been one of my weakness but I like the way that you broke it down thanks again
Such an inspiring generous teacher amazing!
Thanks for the lesson, yesterday i was making a solo for the autumn leaves and you exercises with pratice and patience are making me have some good ideias and frases, thank you so much
I'm still not that good as soloing,but you inspire to stick with it and stick with my 4string and not follow the trend of buying a bunch 6,7,8 string basses and i don't use any of them. I keep simple and comfortable for me! Thank you bro!!!
My pleasure man! Glad you get something out of it! Cheers
You're simply the best! Your lessons are ♥️
Sometimes it's really good to hear, that the stuff that you are doing day in and day out, will bring you closer to the art we're all pursuing.
Thanks.
Sempre estou acompanhando teus vídeos mestre, Deus abençoe você a cada dia 🎸🙏
Bravissimo Anthony, sei un poeta!!!
Great lesson thanks man. Will definitely shed this stuff
Another great lesson!! 🙌
"Road Not Taken" on my short list right now by the way. I have friends attempting to learn bass guitar. I'm definitely steering them your way. Again, Thank you for your insight and time.
Wonderful. You just made that thing accessible for me.
Way more accessible than watching Janek doing it and thinking it's so far away.
So, thank you very much.
Masterclass...
Glad to hear that! Cheers and thanks for the support :)
Thank you for sharing this. Going to check your album out

Cheers man!
great playing, Anthony!
thank you!
Hmmmm YES! Those were some crazy tasty lines bro!
You're giving me hope to use all fingers to solo.
Was stuck on the index and pinky fingers
Thanks man, before watching this video, I didn't know bass solos or bassists existed. This has been a truly eye opening experience for me.
Man I´d love to be able to play quarter notes that feel half as good as these ones.
Love you mate. Wonderful harmonic sense and technique.
Congradulations i will get my copy.🙏
Excellent lesson. Thank you so much. I think that I just may get the hang of this. The 32th notes kind of lost me there though. I long for that "auto pilot."
Glad you dig it! Take what works for you and milk it man. That's the way to do it :) Cheers!
You're a real inspiration! Listening to you makes me feel like I'm in a Godard film, sitting idly by outside a French café. I'd like some advice if you'd be so kind. I've played the bass for many years but always felt safe in just looking at tab sheets and doing covers. Lately I realized I've limited myself for too long and started to play some "originals"-just by feel-but I often get frustrated because I'm not hitting the right notes to create beautiful chords and melodies like you do. I'm quite adept at simply playing the 5th and such once given a root note to begin at, but I find progression very difficult. Should I just suck it up and study the chords and music theory? I guess I answered my own question but I can't shake the hesitation and burden I feel in front of this mountainous challenge. Where shall I begin? Are there resources you particularly utilized in your 'early' days? Thanks!
Thanks for the lessons. Do you have perfect pitch?
i need that loop
Hi there, by any chance would you be able to provide transcription for these excerpts, ?
Would it be better to solo with a 5 string bass or 4.
What would be your recommendation..
Hello Anthony,
Love your sound.
How ru getting your tone:
Guitar and amp eq, strings,amp, effects.
Thank you for your time.
He is just playing on the bridge pick up using flatwound strings and, probably, having the tone knob half way down.
Excellent !
Cheers!
Definitely gonna buy that shit
Love your videos, Anthony!!!! Can you please tell me, What type of wood is the fretboard?? Looks very dark.
Thank you! It's Ebony.
Awesome!!!! Love it, Thank You!!!!
Sick bass solo! 🎸👍👏
Is your bass tune to ADGC?
Thank you and no, it’s standard tuning!
I really love all your vids and content Anthony, but could you talk more about the rhythmic side of phrasing instead of such an emphasis on harmony??..or maybe do a part two to this harmony vid??
Thanks Paul! To be honest with you, there's barely any proper harmony/melody based lessons for bass guitar, let alone bass solos. Hence, my primary focus is on that. If i am not mistaken, I have done rhythmic phrasing lessons in the past. Please look at the rest of the channel and dig it out! Cheers!
Miss you bro
it helps, but to exercise it we'll need the chord right, where i could get the right chord progression for that? or i just make some chord that aren't diatonic?
Soebroto Harry You can use any sequence of any song or whatever you find sounding fine. The only thing you have to keep in mind the current chord. And yes, when it goes beyond of diatonic, the exercise becomes more difficult. Practice-wise it is more useful to work on some progressions with side dominants or borrowed chords. But the purpose is control of what chord and scale are being used at the moment. In my opinion however, soloing in lower register (which bass is intended for) requires more focus on the chord notes played on downbeats rather than playing random scale notes. Great approach anyway.
Check this young female bassist (Mohini Dey) from India. She's been playing with the big leagues.
That strings are .45 or .40 ?
40-95!
