This is a great lesson. I linked up with another you tube bass teacher and I have a lot of his music, but he doesn't teach like you. He plays the music and you play with him which is cool, since I am a music reader, but hasn't shown us lessons like yours. I have played in orchestras as a percussionist and you play what is written. It is nice though, to have a different perspective on playing bass. I wish I could play by ear. I am trying to play Canon in D on bass and Gabriel's Oboe on flute and wish I could hear it and play it since getting the right music is hard. Thanks for this lesson, because I'm going to play around with the arpeggios!
That’s very kind of you thank you. It can be difficult getting away from written music and getting it in your head, but like everything else on this fine instrument, it just requires practise and takes time. Keep working at it and you WILL get there👍
Hey Keith, great lesson as always. One (probably stupid) question: what´s a good way to find the octave in the higher registers fast? I play bass for a few years and know all the theory about finding octaves: 1 string up and 7 frets/ 1 string down and 5 frets.. but it never get´s fluid. The only position I know is from the 3rd string (f.e. C), other than that I always have to count.... Thanks!
Thank you👍 I’m a little confused. If you pick any note (C @ 3rd fret on A string), the octave is across 2 strings and up 2 frets (C @ 5th fret on G string). It’s exactly the same everywhere. Try it out. The important thing is to make sure you absolutely get this and then start trying to remember the note names of the octaves, so that you can go straight to them.
@@academyofbass Hey Keith, thanks. I was not very clear: I know of course all octave patterns on the bass and use the pinky octave all the time. What I mean is the octave patterns going in the right direction: 5 frets to the right and 1 string down or 7 frets to the right and 1 string up. As I said I only know these octaves starting from the 3rd fret and the octaves will be on the 8th or 10th fret. If I am not starting from fret 3 I always have to count. Especially these frets between the dots. But as you said, I think the key is to learn the notes on the fretboard. Best

First time seeing your videos. Great stuff to practice on!
Glad you’re enjoying them👍
You never disappoint Keith. Another inspiring lesson. Many thanks.
You are working hard. It m so chuffed that you’re enjoying my lessons😊
As an experienced player, I learned a lot from this lesson
That’s great to know. It doesn’t matter how experienced we are, there’s always something new to learn. I’m really pleased you enjoyed the lesson.
Your lessons are excellent Keith, easy to grasp and great explanations. Really appreciate the PDF and all you do! Thanks
Thank you🤭
Brilliant lesson with many learnings in it. Much appreciated and inspirational!
Thank you 🙏 It is indeed a good thing to work on. Really pleased to see the value in it👍
Nice groove.
Simple approach yet very effective.
Thanks Frank
Love what's you playing
Am a begger how can I improve?
Hi David, I'm playing a short scale Ibanez Talman. If you're a beginner, learn major and minor chord arpeggios and go from there👍
Are you the Keith Peberdy from Redcar. I practiced with you once. It was some kind of audition.
I am Gordon and I remember you well, despite it being a very long time ago👍
this is super interesting!
Glad to you like it. For me it’s the me if the most enlightened ways a bass player can do play. Thanks for watching 👍
