I'm a Self taught bass guitarist and your videos have been a lot of confirmation on my approach
I'm glad to have been able to help Joseph!
Great lectures man! This is more of like beginners to badass course!
thank you!
Hands down the best video on bass left hand technique I have seen so far, especially because you clearly say that there is not one right way, it always depends. Adam Neely says always keep a straight wrist, Scott Devine says leave a gap between palm and neck, Ariane Cap says drop the wrist. They all have a point, but as a beginner it can be very irritating that everybody is adament that one style is correct, and they contradict each other. I drop the wrist when I need a wide reach, but if I just play root for two bars, I even go to lobster claw to relax.
I would love to hear your opinion on pinky technique, though. It is so short that it only reaches the E string when completely stretched, with a lot of strain to tendons and joints. For example the G minor pentatonics starting on the E string has the pinky on 6th fret E string. I keep hurting myself when I try to play that (stinging pain in the finger an hour or two later when I grab something) and I have not found any technique yet to avoid that.
Thank you, I'm honored! I'll answer this question in depth this week in a new article that'll go live on Wednesday at TheBassist.net, so stay tuned! Thanks for reaching out Doc!
That's great, thanks a lot! Really looking forward to it!
No prob - it'll go live here tomorrow at 8am PST thebassi.st/2nEkyAs
Thanks so much for putting together this series. I recently volunteered myself to play bass for my church so I needed some crash course skillzzz. I’m a classically trained pianist so was able to put that training to work, but I had very little idea of technique, so these videos have been super helpful!
Thank you Serenity, I'm honored! Anything else you need help with?
@@deadbeatstudios Thank you! I have yet to watch your playlist on playing in a worship band so I think that will probably answer some of my questions for now!
@@serenitynovak5705 That's awesome, glad I could help!
What was quite a revelation is Rabbath''s thumb pivot idea. Works just as well for bass guitar as for double bass...
learning bass from punk guitar style i ended up flat knuckling which I been working on, this such a great lesson telling pro and cons not jjust dont do that it explains everything well od why this is useful and this isnt so much
Thank you AJ, I'm both honored and glad that I could help!
Nice course!
The beginning intro groove is money yo
Thank you Peter!
Oh boy! I have a-lot to work on! I think I might developed a habit of sliding. Damn it
It's not a habit, but it can become one if you CAN'T stop doing it :)
am i the only one who finger just can't space out like that??
Was about to comment the same. Like what am I doing wrong? I don‘t think they are too short, but I can‘t tell why I can’t spread them like he does in the video 🤷🏻♀️
Him in the beginning of the video: don‘t put too much pressure on the note.
In the end: Avoid buzzing
Me: tries to not strain my hands by losing some pressure -> result: buzzing 👍🏻
But I think it‘s simply because my hands are absolutly not used to touching a string
The way i play i dont fan my fingers across all the frets i just hover them above the fretboard and idk it works but sometimes feels really sloppy
Where is the complete 12 videos...?
thebassist.net/archive/the-bassics-2/
make a video about yourself, many of us are eager to know where and how you learnt
Thank you! The closest thing I have at the moment was actually a spotlight that BassTheWorld did on my a few years ago. You can check that out here if you'd like :) thebassist.net/jayme-lewis-bass-player-basstheworld-com/
