This is arguably the greatest bass tutorial video on YoutTube. Give a man a lick, he'll play for a day, Teach a man the theory, he'll play for a lifetime. You've given me enough to really develop my creativity, Thanx Sean!!
You are a very good teacher man. Can't find a lot of people like you with 1 the skill set, 2 the ability to teach, and 3 the WILLINGNESS to share what they know. Keep them coming man and may God RICHLY bless you.
Hello Sean, i'm so blessed that i found you...I have been playing the bass now 6 months from nothing, i have a great teacher and all, anyway i wanted more! You are a great teacher, i enjoy it!! i caught on after being lost for a moment..and i asked God,,please help me, and it came..Please keep doing what your doing okay, and God Bless you, Lorriane
BTW, I'm a pianist/keyboardist, so I'm good with all the theory and concepts. But I've only been playing bass for about a year, so it's a whole new world of finding my way around the fretboard. Phew! So glad I stumbled upon your vids. Thanks!
The crucial importance of knowing and practicing arpeggios and pentatonic scales...Thank you Sean for showing how I can use those techniques in modern playing...
Praise God my brother, This has really helped and I do appreciate what you are doing. Every lesson you give, I practice it at less week and sometime longer. I have been playing the bass for sometime. Your lesson have take me to the next level. I give God all the glory and thanks for this powerful gift that you are sharing with some many. Be bless my brother.
Flawless....completely flawless! Sir, you have a gift when it comes to teaching, and the passion and love you have for the music just shines through! This video is completely flawless! God Bless you, Sir!!!
Great video, thanks for making such a detailed and helpful breakdown! Really enjoyed how you took time to discuss the theory behind the lines rather than just the technique! God bless man
Sean, thank you so much for this lesson. As a multi-instrumentalist my bass knowledge has many things I understand very well, but many gaps as well. Most lessons I watch, I come away with one or two things to try out. This lesson, however, had me glued to the screen the whole time. Everything was exactly at the level I needed it, and grew my understanding with every word. Hands down the best lesson I've ever watched. My toolbox just grew by leaps and bounds and all that's left is for me to practice with these new tools. Thank you!
I really enjoyed listening to you today. I have played by ear and need to learn my notes. I am learning them, trying to beat that habit. I will be watching you from now on. God BLESS you in doing this for bass players.
I finally got the basics of shout music on the bass, I had it on the piano but your video help me put it all together on the bass, I hope Gob blesses you for your generosity.
I have loved this style of music for a long time, but this is the first video I could find explaining it in a way that is just right for me (keyboard player converted to bass). Thanks man - that is really inspiring!
THANK YOU (!!!) for taking the time to develop what God has Given you, and for sharing your talents!!! Here's a REQUEST for more on SHOUT that covers borrowed chords, secondary doms, rhythms, tritones, etc! I get so much out of your vids- really opens it all up for me and then goes on to Bless the band and choir! Helps all of us. PLEASE POST MORE. Many Thanks and continued Blessings to you and your family.
thanks for the videos. I am a new bass player and I have learned a lot from you and your lessons over the past year playing at my church.Thank you man and God Bless!!
Hey, Sean. Thanks for this vid. I've been asked to sit in on a Gospel gig and, even though I've been playing some time, I've played in a true Gospel format. Thanks again for the help.
Sean, Sean, Sean, Thank you for your informative and practical explanation of theory and functionality. I have been looking for someone like you for the longest. I have a much better understanding. I had some many light bulb moments. The positioning of the hand to slide through the Maj and Min Pentatonic scales was most beneficial. My accuracy and speed was improved instantly. Continued.
3rd time watchin this today...done got caught up in yhe music and forgot i was supposed to be playing .along...Thanks Mr. Byrd...so far you're touching on all the points i've been missing...
Hey Sean, Thank you so much brother I REALLY need this!! I'm at a place where I feel like I'm stuck. I'll be watching and studying this til I can play it close to how you taught it .. Thanks again GOD bless you!!!! #bassplayer4life

Nice lesson, I started learning the patterns but I still struggle with connecting the dots in the manner that you guys do so effortlessly. God bless and keep it up I really enjoy listening.

Fantastic! It would be great if you posted a video with just the backing track at 80 bpm and 120 and 150. Maybe three minutes of each just to give us all a chance to practice with it.
The opening track is one of my original compositions. I'm planning on releasing a full length version of it on an upcoming project I'm working on. Thanks for asking.

Sean, Sean, Sean, You inspired me to create a self-help study aid. I would like to send it to you to share with others. It is a word document to note music, tab, and fretboard all on one sheet. I pause your video and make notes for future study. You have gone and done it now. I have many questions and you will get them all!
Thanks sean......thanks for sharing....I`m going to play your video over and over till I get it...........since I`m not able to speak to you....Love your five string work.....I have a four string it makes it a little different.....the same but less......incorporating major and minor is my quest......can you be contacted thru your site?.......Your playing is amazing!!!!
