    You also have to know when to use those low notes. Sometimes it drives better playing the middle c up the neck. Sounds more warm, round and “bouncy”. Don’t over use the 5th string just because you have it

    • @ballin565
      @ballin565 7 месяцев назад +3

      Higher register is definitely is not used enough in drives when bass players have low B

    • @jerryg2757
      @jerryg2757 7 месяцев назад

      @@ballin565 For sure. Unless youre already super professional and disciplined, I feel like for most average/semi pro players, a 5 string actually hinders their playing and and overall progress as a bass player

      @keshawnjack9151 2 месяца назад

      @@ballin565that’s why I recommend starting off with a 4 string it forces you to use the higher register of the bass and gets you more comfortable in that range so when you get a 5 you can even things out in your sound.

    Been playing bass for 0ver 45 years with a small break now and then! I have always wanted to learn the feel and playability of southern gospel! Just this short lesson explains a lot to me! As soon as I get the money I will be ordering this lesson from your site! I am a self taught bass player and I know I have some bad habits and also wrong habits! But I’ve been trying to correct these. I am the bassist for our church and would really like to stir the “settled” souls in church and to get them moving for the Lord again! I’ve played modern blues and country rock just about all my life, not much in the walking bass style! Hopefully not too old to teach an old dog new tricks! Thanks again,
    Brothers in Christ!

    Jermaine, I love your videos, especially this one, because I was a part of a contemporary gospel quartet group. Our group came to Louin, Mississippi, and we had a great time playing with some of the home groups.
    I need some more instructions since I hadn't played in a while.

    Bass guitar amplification is essential for proper sound. I have been a female bass guitar player for over 60 years. In my situation, I need a compact, lightweight system and have using Gallien Krueger (GK) for the past 35 plus years. They design and manufacture their amps, speaker boxes, covers etc in Stockton, California.
    I use a 500 watt Fusion amplifier with a 12” GK NEO speaker. I also use a 200 watt GK amp for church. The amp weighs five pounds and produces a powerful punch. Look them up online…last but not least, my guitar of choice is a Fender Elite series 5 string Jazz Bass guitar. The church I play in recently upgraded their sound system and now I can patch the bass through the soundboard, huge improvement in the sound. I also play with a Country/ Irish/ Folk group almost every Sunday afternoon, weather permitting…almost forgot to mention that I play by ear, can’t read music…

Thanks for the advice about slowing down and practicing! My chief musican says the same thing to me.
