more lovely stuff! my feeling is that a rock bass line should always try and be a memorable riff in its own right - give the band & the audience something to really latch onto
Dan, mate your an excellent bass teacher. I have been l playing for 42 years, but wish I had been taught your lessons when I was learning to play (as I still am, because learning never ends) because you can never know it all. Thanks Dan for what you do, I have learned some new things that I hadn`t known before. Thanks again mate & nice bass too, It`s sounds great & looks equally great.
As someone who listens to a lot of rock music, I appreciate you doing this video. Thanks for breaking it down so simply. Your explanation of the intervals, scales, and modes combined with the use of patterns is super helpful.
Fantastic lesson again, thanks Dan! Going to spend some time with this one. I know you love your soul and funk, but I would love to see some more of this 😊
I love rock equally actually if not more! I’ve just noticed that my audience - in general - doesn’t. So my rock lessons get far fewer viewers. Very strange but I’ll definitely do more rock.
@@simonpennington I wonder do people like rock bass? I can’t imagine why not! But I definitely see a downturn in views on my channel. I’d love to do more rock though.
@@OnlineBassCourses I think a lot of people do, maybe it takes a while for people to realise that you are covering it. I could happily zoom into styles of great rock legends like John Entwhistle or Geezer Butler, would be really interesting. I think Geezer was a solid minor pentatonic guy in the early days!
I love how you switch for every diff type of music. I found you looking for scales and your tip is going to follow me (it was something like "you should learn to make music using scales, not only scales"). I love your short-in-point videos, even a beginner like me can understand. What I love the most is that you use real-life examples, matching the sound with a song. I love it, I'm one that catch things better when using examples and things I can get. Subscribed and I'll be watching all your vids for sure!
@@OnlineBassCourses I see you're more towards Soul, Motown and funk (and I admit the groove is so good). If you had a specific course for Rock and metal, I would go for it instantly! I've checked your beginner course and I hope to get it on next paycheck. It looks the most complete and also, I really love your no fluff just direct to the topic. As a question (and speaking without knowledge), I believe your course includes full songs? I mean, we learn some songs so it's not that boring. That's what I like to do (because I lack of attention if I don't get it). Ps. My idea was something like BassBuzz Beginner to Badass course do (they have 50 songs to learn). But I don't like to not know what they teach… And that's why I went for you! I know theory is boring but, I need to get thru.
I love rock and do need to do more on it! I do have a Rock bass book published by Fundamental Changes. My From Beginner To Bassist is not really song based although there are a few simple ones at the end. You can play the sample bass line and I also teach you how to improvise your own lines. I’ll definitely do more song/bass line only courses.
I know this is off topic but thought I'd share my new strings on the UBASS. I added flat wound strings from Gallistrings and got an upright sound. It's a bit of a different sound out of the UBASS.
Great lesson by Dan for I try really hard to understand all the flats 5ths n 7th. Love the mentioning of when to do your fills like Dan said on the 4th bar etc.
Hi Dan! I really love your lessons. You are a great bass player and great teacher and I really have learnt a lot from your videos and materials and I am so thankful for that. I have been playing bass for 16 years now but I still come back to your videos to upgrade my vocabulary and to learn something new I missed in the past and you really do help me, brother in bass! Why don't you do some lessons on extreme metal playing like black metal, death metal etc., some technique stuff like tapping or other cool techniques and some lessons with learning rock and metal songs and/or riffs and do few tempos in your videos and show the tabs because one thing that lacks in your videos is playing from slower tempos to faster tempos and showing the tabs on screen so you can play to that and it would be cool if you consider that, Dan! It would make your lessons much more approachable for beginners and be comfortable also for more advanced players like me, and not only black metal and death metal but some country, soul, jazz and prog rock would be cool if you explained the genre, explained what is used the most there, show us some riffs and basslines and teach us a song with tabs on screen. It would be freakin' cool, mane! I love your lessons and I know it would upgrade your lessons 666%, Dan. Think about it. And think about the ideas I gave you with the genre stuff, songs learning stuff, tabs on screen and tempos from slow to fast, technique lessons witch more advanced stuff like tapping and it would be cool if you explained some things slower and not go so fast because sometimes I feel that you just play your improvisation and we can't follow that and sometimes I don't understand the reason why you play something in that scale/mode and why you play like this and what you play because you play too fast and you don't show tabs on screen. Really think about it, my friend. I love your lessons but it would really be awesome if you would do it and if you would consider my lessons ideas. I recommend your channel and website to all my friends that learn bass and now my girlfriend, well, fiance, will start her bass adventure and journey so guess what I will show her? onlinebasscourses with my favourite Dan Hawkins!!!!!!!! Love you, mane. Keep it going! And consider my ideas and things what I said about making your lessons better and easier and maybe no one ever told you that so I will be the one who told you about these problems. But don't think I don't appreciate what you do. Yo do a great effort and you keep us busy. THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!!!
Another great video. But although the key could have been C Major, (Em followed by F) it could also have been F Major (Em followed by F). Doesn't matter, all great.
if you wanna steal his style play his bass lines EXACT like note for note as accurate as possible , as many as you can and you’ll catch onto patterns he uses
Yes some rock content👍🤟😁
👊 my audience doesn’t really seem to love the rock stuff…
@OnlineBassCourses yeah I can understand that but it's still good music and having more variety it target all type of musicians👌
Nice lesson Dan!! Thanx
🙏
That's 1982 Bass sounds awesome nobody can play it better than you do.
🙏
Good lesson
Sounds great, Dan

Thank u . I'm gonna use this.Awsome DAN!

Dan, such a helpful episode. Thank you!
Thanks, John!
Superb lesson as usual Dan thanks very much. I always get a lot of knowledge and inspiration from this style of lesson, very much appreciated 👍🏽
Good to know - thanks!
Great video again, helping me so much. Maybe also more videos playing with a pick?
I’ll definitely do one soon.

Just answered this on another comment…🙏👍
Just found you these past few days. Your content literally rocks. 😂 Thank you for such a practical and relevant lesson!
Thanks so much! 🙏🙏🤘🤘
@@OnlineBassCourses you’re welcome! Next step: buy one of your books!
@@GregSB1 thanks! You might like my courses even better… (plug alert!!).
Another great video. But although the key could have been C Major, (Em followed by F) it could also have been F Major (Em followed by F). Doesn't matter, all great.
Thanks very much! (In F Major, it’s an E diminished chord not Em).
Right. Thanks Dan, I was being too clever for my own good. But that helps and I appreciate your response. @@OnlineBassCourses
Hey !
I really love Scott Reader, Kyuss bassist, do u know him ?
I don’t, sorry!
can you do a video about playing in the style of andy rourke of the smiths please?
if you wanna steal his style play his bass lines EXACT like note for note as accurate as possible , as many as you can and you’ll catch onto patterns he uses
Paul Del Bello did a video on this a while ago. Here you go: ruclips.net/video/2p_nENkLJSE/видео.html
Looks like Paul has already done a great job! 🙏👍
