Its awesome. I bought my bass 2 weeks ago and tomorrow I have my first lesson. I am 29 years old and hope its not to late for learning an instrument... Sadly my parents never had the chance to pay me a instrument and lessons. As a child it was always a wish of the bottom of my heart to learn an instrument. Today I want to fill this wish and really hope I can get the hearing like you. I mean you hear that song and know what you can play with your bass. I hope really it is not to late as an adult
@@Sam-vd8ukvery well. I am playing with friends and it makes lots of fun. But it's a long journey. So I need to learn many things in the future too 😎✌️
@@BecomeABassist It might seem silly but watching you hum the root note was 'a big deal' in my learning process. That was the glue that bound everything together so now I can think ' (hmmm) C# eh? Maybe a Lydian groove'.
Started watching this as a beginning-again cello player (played 48 years ago in junior high). I have some trad/historic Celtic recordings which is fiddle, mandolin, and concertina mainly, but just needs (in my ear and humble opinion 😎) a nice rounded bottom of my cello. :) Checking this out to see if I'm on the right "track" for creating those lines. I don't have a strong theory background at all so It's good to watch someone go through the process. I don't have any fancy software such as you have, but I'm getting there. Hoping I'll get faster with practice. Thanks!
One of your coolest videos! As always it gave me a lot of food for thought. I still struggle with hearing keys and notes. 😖 So I give up pretty quickly when trying to do this.
@@BecomeABassist To be honest most of my bass career if you can call it that; has been playing in churches and worship teams for about 13 years. I would say 95% of the time they provide chord sheets and I had my own flavor to it. However I've relied on chord sheets to be a huge crunch to not really train my ear. So really I have only attempted to learn songs at home by ear. I don't know if it's laziness or a lack of willpower but I always give up quickly.
Ah I see what you mean Chad. When you actually sit down to try and learn something without a chord sheet, what's your process? Do you just sit down with a recording and try to pick out notes? Or are you looking for keys? Something else? And at what point do you find yourself giving up?
@@BecomeABassist I try to find the key. That's usually the most difficult issue. If I think I have found the key; which is rare it comes down to theory I guess. So if I can't find those elements within 10-15 minutes I give up. I don't know a lot of scales so when I'm playing at church or other events that have basic chord sheets I play by ear. I play what I feel and what fits the song. I've been told I'm a great bass player. largely I believe because I have creative freedom to play my own lines as long as they fit up with the key or chords. My greatest talent/skill is being able to play in a band situation if that makes sense.
Hi Luke...great video, thanks. Any idea if it's possible to get hold of these kind of tracks where I could drop out the bass to then practice the creative process? Cheers

How is your bass journey going?
@@Sam-vd8ukvery well. I am playing with friends and it makes lots of fun. But it's a long journey. So I need to learn many things in the future too 😎✌️
Very cool to see theory in practice!
Absolutely! No point knowing a ton of ideas if you can't use them to make music, right?

this is now one of my favourite music videos on youtube now
Awesome Edmond! Thanks so much!
Great lesson!
Cheers Dan! I hope it helps.

That's awesome @Dougie Stewart. Thanks so much for watching all the videos and I'm so glad to hear you learned heaps!
One of your coolest videos! As always it gave me a lot of food for thought. I still struggle with hearing keys and notes. 😖
So I give up pretty quickly when trying to do this.
Cheers Chad! Glad you liked it! Out of curiosity, what have you done in the past to try and hear keys and notes? What worked for you and what didn't?

Add my own flavor...^^^

Great lesson bro, keep it up!!
Hey Mr. Luke, have your recorded lessons 2 and 5? Can't seem to find. Learned so much from you, enjoy your teaching style.
Definitely Gregory. The whole playlist is here: ruclips.net/p/PLng38Iik54jg9PJx2q-7rmwz6z8ZZUXkc

This is a very helpful seminar-in-a-box; to quote Ted Nugent (he of the million dollar arm and 10 cent head), it was "Just What the Doctor Ordered"
a ton of fun indeed...
this is raddd
You should do a video on Roger Glover of Deep Purple
Looking down the comments Kallas is starting at 29 years old. He is hoping he is not too late to start. I started at 60 and am now 65 years old! OMG!
