I am not a theoretical snob, says the man that wrote their music thesis on Frank Zappa's work of harmony, at the UK's more prominent university's. Okay Mark, I have always been impressed by your being humble, that is why I come to you to learn.
This is probably my favorite lesson of yours. It's a concise, linear, and practical guide for learning to play a line with any piece. There are months/years' worth of study material in this one video.
Hey, keep up the great work! People think I’m some kind of pro even through I’ve only been playing for a few years. I’m definitely intermediate. I watched and rewatched your videos and everything I know is from your teachings. Don’t stop until you can’t physically play. But still find a way. It’s been great therapy for me.
Great lesson, this one, Mark. An incredible process for working on tunes and like the title says everything! I especially like the analysis portion, that really clarified things for me. Thank you Mark!
I joined and have been happy to enroll in your online course[s]. Of all my "noodling" with different bassists; you're by far the best music teacher I have had since 8th grade band. [And yes, I took music and music theory courses in college too]. Thanks !!
Great ideas in here! I’ve been using an app called iReal Pro to practice standards (I’m still very much a beginner with jazz) and I have been doing kind of a bastardized less structured version of some of what you mentioned, but you have some really nice ideas there. I really like the idea of using a single string.
Mark enjoy your lessons I was wondering if you could show how to play Tommy Shannon tunes and how Noel Redding played red house on bass with jimi thanks alot
Nice Video, I have to mention that sightreading isnt good for memorizing the tones on the fretboard in my opinion. As a youth I could sightread and play any classical piece, Ive never seen before, on Cello but had no idea which names the notes were, or their relations. I just knew where the note on the fretboard is, based on the writte note, but not the name. Had to get basic theory down again for starting bass then
Are you saying you didn't know the names of the notes on the stave or the 'cello? That seems pretty unusual for anyone learning classical music. For me, they key to memorising the notes (by name as well as by their position on the stave) on the fretboard, is to say the name of the note as I read it (usuallt before I actually play it). It's a slow process, but necessary if you're going to be a rounded player. There are three aspects to the sight reading pitch (rhythm is a different beast) - the name of the note on the stave, the name of the note on the fretboard and relating the position on the fretboard to the position on the stave. Very often we learn two of the three of these and then become frustrated because adding the third into the equation requires us to go back to learning very slowly.
Interesting problem to have. I think most people learn the staff (letter names, etc,) first, then spend a lot of time getting past that translation layer to make the connection more direct between the staff and fretboard. I didn't realize that it was possible to skip that middle step.
Wow! I am learning so much, but this is REALLY hard stuff! Looks like i really do have to go get your beginning course now. I cant read music, and dont know my fretboard, so….struggling a little right now.
Love your vids, you're definitely one of the best, but a have one question, can you say hello without moving your head..? I just want to know if that's possible :)
Hi! Great video! I've been shedding this the last couple days. What are the red strings near the tuning pegs of your bass? Do they come with the stings you buy and what's the use for them?
Is there a way to download the backing track that’s on the website? That embedded audio file is a little clunky to work with directly from a browser. It would be easier to start, stop and jump backward and forward if I could open it in QuickTime instead. Thx!
Hey, I want to play bass but I only have an old one from J&D that's not working so well, would it be much to ask for you to buy me one better? I can't afford... :( Cheers from portugal!!
On my iPad, the piano in the track overpowers your bass sound, so that it bass really gets lost in the mix, so that it becomes impossible to follow your examples.
This will always be the case with bass and tracks on a mobile device. I actually ramp up the mids a lot so the bass has a relatively crappy sound but cuts through more but on a mobile device you’re going to find everything below 120hz is missing. I have a video from about a month ago on tone that will answer a lot of why that is for you. In this video the track is mixed as low as I can go while retaining the tonality of the piece. This is just a consequence of pathetic modern media.
@@talkingbasslessons OK, thank you for responding, i will have to find another device for thee type of video's i guess, allthugh the music quality is usually good enough on Apple devices through headphones though (iPod, iPad etc.)

Man, that has got to be the most boring bass sound I have ever heard! This is definitely not my type of music. I prefer songs that don't want to make me commit suicide, or make me depressed. I was quite interested until I heard this boring song.

Mark, these longer videos are great! Almost feels like having an actual music lesson. Huge thanks for putting this up for free, too!
This is probably my favorite lesson of yours. It's a concise, linear, and practical guide for learning to play a line with any piece. There are months/years' worth of study material in this one video.

Beautiful progression. Misty has long been my favorite jazz ballad. Beautiful tasteful playing and tone, as well. I will be studying this lesson.
Great lesson!! This one lesson can be used for weeks of practice. Thanks Mark!!!

Great lesson. Very cool. I've actually tried using this method by slowing down other Jazz chords charts I have. Enjoyable practice. Thank you!
Great practice, thanks!
VERY GOOS VIDEO MARK
THANKS

Mark, at 34:32 it is writed BbMaj7 instead of Bb7.
Thanks for this amazing lesson.
Yes, I made a typo writing out the chords at speed. It should be Bb7 as I said in the video. Well spotted. Shame you can't edit the videos in YT!
Can you do any Chic bass line videos? Bernard Edwards has some great ones
Great
Loving this. Thank heavens the copyright gods haven't caught you! I'm gonna be watching this over and over...
Could've used this for my college pre-screen. Legit used this song lol

Stick with it! Everyone starts somewhere and Mark is one of the absolute best teachers so stick with him and you’ll do fine!

Thanks.... and no I can't
@@talkingbasslessons Ha..! :)
Hi! Great video! I've been shedding this the last couple days. What are the red strings near the tuning pegs of your bass? Do they come with the stings you buy and what's the use for them?
wonderful lesson, but i cant understand starting form 35:00 ii V expansion.
Is there any building block lessons about this jazz chord?
Playing through the backing track on the website. Song plays through and finishes at 2:11. But then where does it go?
21:18 ❤
Is there a way to download the backing track that’s on the website? That embedded audio file is a little clunky to work with directly from a browser. It would be easier to start, stop and jump backward and forward if I could open it in QuickTime instead. Thx!
When you show the chords of the Eb scale you correctly say (for the V) “Bb 7” but slide has Bb Maj7.
I can’t believe I stayed till the end
Hi Mark, what color is that Fender Jazz?
New Jazz bass?
Was gonna ask the same thing!!
