I am just starting out on bass guitar. It would be good to hear you talk about playing bass in a worship band. Even in this song, how you approach playing the bass in it and making a God-glorifying contribution to the whole. If you were to mentor a beginner bass player, what would you say to him/her about playing bass for worship and how to progress in it. Thanks!
Hi Bill, excellent questions for sure. Please note that my advise is based on my personal journey; hence, it is not prescriptive. These will be the things I'd tell a beginner: -The first point will be to focus on Jesus. As worship musicians, it's easy for our priorities to shift away from what matters most (JESUS) and end up fixed on the instrument and music -Be patient with yourself. The process of learning and perfecting ones craft takes a lot of time. I see a lot of beginners who are frustrated because they don't see progress 'quickly enough'. It took me several years to be able to play without buzz or noise. -Set specific, reasonable, kind and realistic milestones, e.g., by the end of the year, I want to play without having any buzz on my strings. -Avoid the myth that errors or bad sound are due to your instrument. Get a decent instrument, have it professionally setup and stick with it. -Be mindful of social media and comparison. It easily makes musicians feel inadequate. For example, I only follow two bass players on Instagram...as I can't deal with the distraction of always watching bass videos. Thankfully, when I was learning, there was no instagram or facebook...haha -Be a sponge...absorb and learn everything you can. I spent my early days playing a lot of musical genres. Obviously, I was very mindful of the lyrics of songs. This might sound a bit weird, but worship music (specifically CCM) alone is insufficient for growth as a bass player. The lines are often very simple and extremely watered down. Explore other genres, e.g., reggae music, gospel music (e.g., I strongly recommend music by Brooklyn tabernacle choir, Richard Smallwoods), Latin music, funk (for groove). -If you can afford it, get a teacher or pay for a focused training program. Insist on learning some foundational theory and ear development. I'd highly Norm Stockton's Art of Groove online bass lessons. -Practice as much as you can. This is an obvious one, but when I started out, there were days when I put in 5 hours of practice. Familiarity with the instrument makes a world of a difference. -If you live near churches with excellent musicians, ask to visit their rehearsal sessions and sit at a spot where you can watch the bass player. -We are all unique. Embrace your uniqueness along your learning journey. Ask GOD to help you project the 'unique' voice he has given you through the instrument. Wow....I typed a lot. Please do not hesitate to write if you have further questions or specific issues you'd like me to touch on. GOD richly bless you.
I too am just learning bass and come to your videos for inspiration. I at times like many, find myself too focused on my sound/runs/licks and not on who are what I’m playing for. I appreciate your advice to us novice players
I put this comment here so that every time someone likes it, I'll be reminded of this song, because it heals someone in me AMEN..., from Kenya in Africa.
The key thing to remember is that the bass is playing by the root notes of the other players. However this doesn't mean that bass is an easy instrument.
Im so blessed the reason im looking for video like this because im praying that soon i can learn to play the bass so that I can offer myself to be a member of the music ministry in our church. I hope i can see more specially the basic chords praise God continue serving the Lord and blessed more people !
Thank you!!! I didn't hear that much groove in the original and your video gives such bass sweetness that I shall try to incorporate it as well. Have a blessed week and again, THANK YOU!
Thanks so much brother. I really appreciate you taking time to leave a comment after watching the video. I give glory to JESUS for the gift of music. Have fun experimenting with the bass parts. It is always fun to modify the original bass lines. :)
Really nice playing.. I'm trying to follow those notes between the chords but struggling to keep up. They make such a difference when added. Is there a way to share the tabs somehow? thanks Tim
Hello, friends, who have the desire and opportunity to pray for the release of the gift of languages, and for the renewal of the mind in the knowledge of the Lord Christ. And who has not seen the series on the gospel " The Chosen" recommend.
Glory to JESUS. Thanks so much for watching and leaving a kind comment. My main tip would be to listen to and learn different genres of christian music (gospel, CCM, reggae, RnB, etc), always pay attention to the kick patterns when playing bass, memorize songs rather than having to read and play on the fly. Memorizing songs allows for self expression in worship. Blessings.
I've just started to learn how to play a bass guitar. I thought bass could have impact only in praise songs, I never thought bass could be played in a worship song that beautifully. Thank you so much brother for sharing.💖 Now, I'll need to learn that... May God bless you 😇
To GOD be the glory. Thank you for the very kind and encouraging words. Wishing you a blessed musical journey learning the bass. May GOD grant you wisdom, direction and ability. God bless you my friend.
"I never thought bass could be played in a worship song that beautifully." Yeah, unfortunately, contemporary Christian artists seem to neglect the bass quite frequently in their compositions. Lots and lots of simply pounding out root notes and missing out on all the subtle harmony, nuance and depth that a well constructed bass line would provide.
Emmanuel, you do such a wonderful job adding beautiful bass lines to the worship songs you've posted on RUclips. I've been playing in worship bands for over 40 years, and when I found your videos a few weeks ago, they inspired me, and gave me fresh ideas for my own playing. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Salut maestro j'ai aimé votre talent et je le suis tellement.alors en moi j'ai un problème à la guitare pour le mineur comment maître le mineurs au guitare je veut votre aide Pardon 😊
I subscribed after watching you play for just a minute. Excellent playing and song selection. Breathtaking. God Bless you brother. I'm gonna start playing, probably buy a Squire CV 70's V bass. I inspire to eventually play for church and Glorify God through it.
You are so kind my friend. I give all the glory to JESUS. Glad you were blessed by this. Also those squier basses are amazing. Mine is a squier with a few modifications. Check out their new anniversary basses. Those look really great.
Best bass line I've heard to this song yet. The original bass line is terribly neglected and leaves the song without much depth. I just uploaded my version to this song, but I must be truthful, I think I like yours better. Great playing, bro. Really enjoyed it.
I really liked God bless you! but what i notice is that after you finish playing, if you can show us step by step the chords you played that would be good thank you
Brother just tuned in your channel and i like the way you play. I love the shapes you have shown and i want to learn shapes from you. God bless you brother.. and Glory to God always..
Thanks so much for the kind words. Unfortunately, I don't teach on this channel, though I am hoping to post some general tutorials at some point. The goal of the channel is song ministration. For the bass videos, I show my fingers clearly with the hope that people can pick up what I am doing. I hope you can get some nuggets from this and other videos. GOD bless you
Great groove and harmony! You really made this song come alive in a tasteful way without getting in the way of the vocal and other melody instruments! Awesome Job! I used a lot of this when I played at my church and got a lot of compliments. Plus I learned some good fills to add to my vocabulary tool belt!
hmm...that is a tough question. Once you are practicing and praying, improvement and growth will eventually come. In my own journey, it got to a point where I didn't see much improvements for about 3 years. Consistency is key. Record yourself when you play and after a few months, listen back and compare to more recent recordings. Do this over a few years, and I promise you will recognize the growth that is happening. At the very least, I am sure you will see some subtle progress. It takes time, be patient with yourself. Have high but very considerate expectations.
And by the Grace and Mercy of God we will pull through with all of our problems, and pull through with COVID-19!!! (Bridge) Even when I don't see that Your Working, Even when I don't feel that Your Working, You NEVER STOP Working!!!
I do nothing. Legally, this should fall under fair use. The original music still belongs to the songwriter. Which means I don't make any money from bass covers. 100% of the revenue goes to the songwriter. They could still decide to give me a copyright strike if they so desire. :) Hope this helps. With love, Emmanuel
Hey man, love the cover! I'm wanting to learn how to play the song too, is there any chance you have the chords/notation of your cover? Especially the fills you play :)
Again to add me it's Emmanuel I'm a beginner so I would have liked you to show us things after playing even see what you played but slowly to help us thank you
Thanks a lot for the feedback. Unfortunately, I don't have a music theory background. Lessons/tutorials will take a lot of time to plan and film. My job keeps me very busy, which makes it difficult to post more than I currently do. GOD bless you.
Thank you very much. The time commitment required to make tutorial videos makes it almost impossible. Between work, family, church and the videos I post here, I am swamped. I hope you can still pick up nuggets from these videos. GOD bless
You are welcome my brother. I just got back from worship rehearsal at our church. Always appreciate worship leaders incorporating tasteful playing into the body of Christ. You are encouraging me to upload a couple tutorials as well. How are you filming and recording? Love the sound you get on your videos, along with the soundtrack of the song.
I use a tcspectracomp pedal for the bass. I connect the bass and my phone to the pedal, play the song on my phone and play the bass along. On the TC, I add a bit of compression and boost the low end of the bass. I record into protools, and my audio interface is a focusrite clarette. The bass is a squire (body and neck bought separately and pickups upgraded). My camera is an old canon vixia....I record the video separately in 1080p. After I record, I merge the video and audio using a software called video pad editor.
This is a significantly modified squier bass. The neck and body came from two separate basses. I have Demarzio area J pickups in it. I am using one pedal, which is a zoom MS60b and I am running a compressor and ampeg head on the pedal. I don't use any speakers or amps. I record directly into my audio interface, which is a Motu M2. Hope this helps. Feel free to let me know if you have further questions.
Silver, so glad you are learning from them. That is why I keep the camera on the bass. Glad to know some people are benefiting from these videos. GOD bless you my friend.
Hello God bless you my English is not very good excellent song beautiful arrangements a I'm learning to play bass I hope in God someone day to play as you are beautiful thank you God bless you
Hello Mr Emmanuel I am Nicholas Opoku and I love to play Bass but don't know how to play it and I just bought Bass guitar 🎸 so please if there will be any online classes for me hmmmm I will be happy Thank you. hope to hear from you.
Hello Nicholas, unfortunately, I am unable to teach at this time. My job is very busy, and I barely get time for music. I really wish I could be more helpful. GOD bless you my friend.
@@esongsore hello Mr Emmanuel. Thank you very much for your reply I appreciate, and have heard what you said so I will try and learn your bass covers you have than so I can pick up. THANK YOU
Hahaaa...do it. Its quite easy to transfer knowledge from the piano to the bass.....and since you drum, you likely have solid rhythm and groove. You have the foundational building blocks to become a solid bass player.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to post lessons. I work full-time and life tends to be very busy. Hopefully I can do so one day...but unfortunately, not at this point. Very sorry my friend. May GOD grant you grace, strength and wisdom in your bass playing. At 13, I had never touched a bass...so you are blessed. :)
Excellent idea, but that will take a lot of work in terms of editing the video. If you know of a way to do so automatically, I will be more than willing to learn and use it in future videos.
To GOD be the glory. Unfortunately, I don't use any score or write them out. It's all improvised on the fly. I hope you can pick some nuggets up from this video. Blessings..
bro if you don’t mind me asking what kind of amp do you use and what bass is that i know tone is all in the fingers but it just sounds so clean and smooth
Of course I don't mind. This is a squier jazz bass. Both original pickups were replaced with DiMarzio area J's. I am not using an amp...I am going straight into a zoom MS60b pedal which is running into my audio interface. On the MS60B I am using the ampeg module with an SWR bass cabinet with a significant boost in the highs. I was also also running some slight compression on the MS60B (i don't remember which compressor module was being used). Hope this helps. If you look carefully, I am sure you can find a used MS 60b for about $70 or less. Feel free to let me know if you have further questions.
It's a squier. Body and neck were bought separately. Switched the pickups for Dimarzio Area J jazz bass pickups. Electronics are passive. I don't play active basses. Please let me know if you have additional questions. God bless you my friend. ❤️💕❤️
The bass is modified with Dimarzio Area J Jazz Bass Pickups, and I am using a zoom multistomp bass pedal. On the pedal, I am running a tiny bit of compression and an ampeg head and SWR 4X10 cabinet. No extra processing after recording. GOD bless you for listening...all glory to JESUS!
@@esongsore can you do one for Israel Houghton Deeper into the water? You will see what i mean when it gets to the chorus "Lord give us a heart" ruclips.net/video/bgu_vtW8lVM/видео.html
Perfectly said. The chord progression is simple and quite repetitive, which allows for self expression in the pocket. GOD bless you for the very kind words and for taking time to watch it. All glory to JESUS!
It's is a Gruv Gear Fretwrap. I usually use it when I am recording slap stuff. It helps mute the strings and minimize noise. Otherwise, it is not really needed.

Hello
Nice one here .
Please, how do i fo bass covers og song while playing in the background without getting copyright from RUclips?
I do nothing. Legally, this should fall under fair use. The original music still belongs to the songwriter. Which means I don't make any money from bass covers. 100% of the revenue goes to the songwriter. They could still decide to give me a copyright strike if they so desire. :) Hope this helps.

Amen🙏😖.. God bless you
keren
GOD be praised. Thanks a lot for listening. :)
Wowwwwww...bravoooo broher.. We give you glory my God..
God Blesss
Indeed Jesus alone gets the glory. GOD bless you
Put the number's up
Excellent idea, but that will take a lot of work in terms of editing the video. If you know of a way to do so automatically, I will be more than willing to learn and use it in future videos.
Wow! This is the best bass cover that I heard! I have to play this in next Friday. Can I get or buy this score? please??
To GOD be the glory. Unfortunately, I don't use any score or write them out. It's all improvised on the fly. I hope you can pick some nuggets up from this video. Blessings..
I love this bass groove send me chords please. Really wanna play bass bad
Sorry, this is totally improvised and played in the moment. I don't have any written bass parts. GOD bless
bro if you don’t mind me asking what kind of amp do you use and what bass is that i know tone is all in the fingers but it just sounds so clean and smooth
Of course I don't mind. This is a squier jazz bass. Both original pickups were replaced with DiMarzio area J's. I am not using an amp...I am going straight into a zoom MS60b pedal which is running into my audio interface. On the MS60B I am using the ampeg module with an SWR bass cabinet with a significant boost in the highs. I was also also running some slight compression on the MS60B (i don't remember which compressor module was being used). Hope this helps. If you look carefully, I am sure you can find a used MS 60b for about $70 or less.
Feel free to let me know if you have further questions.
legit. thank you!
Welcome, and glory to Jesus. :)
Amazing bro simple and 👍👍

Thank you for this video, Emmanuel! Good job.. I like the way you play the bass part! God bless!
All glory to JESUS. Thanks for listening.
Nice, you motivate me and help me to get better on the base, Continue to drop vids bro.
Thanks so much for letting me know that. I give all the glory to JESUS. I really appreciate you taking time to leave a comment. GOD richly bless you.
Glory to JESUS. Glad I can be a source of motivation.
Nice bro!! Are you using passive or active? What is your bass?
God bless u
It's a squier. Body and neck were bought separately. Switched the pickups for Dimarzio Area J jazz bass pickups. Electronics are passive. I don't play active basses. Please let me know if you have additional questions.
God bless you my friend.
❤️💕❤️
At school we have a chapel band I’m the bass player and we played this song yesterday and I want to get better at this song specifically
Keep doing what you are doing. Playing in a band results in a lot of development.
To GOD be the glory.
@@esongsore amen to that
Can you cover In Christ by BIG daddy weave
Unfortunately not at this time. Currently in the process of moving. Very sorry my friend. :)
U never seem to fail delivering quality! 🎉🎉
GOD bless you my sister. Thanks for the kind words and support. I give all the glory to JESUS. :)
You’re tone is fantastic. What are using to get that tone?
The bass is modified with Dimarzio Area J Jazz Bass Pickups, and I am using a zoom multistomp bass pedal. On the pedal, I am running a tiny bit of compression and an ampeg head and SWR 4X10 cabinet. No extra processing after recording.
GOD bless you for listening...all glory to JESUS!
Good bless you maestro🙏🙏🙏🙏
GOD bless you too my friend. Thanks a lot for listening.
Can you please do a tutorial for this video?
Hi Karen, unfortunately not at this time. I am swamped with work and child care. Hopefully at some point. God bless you.
Good video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪
To GOD be all the glory. Thanks for the kind and encouraging words
great brother! kindly share the bass tabs...thank you
Sorry...Unfortunately I don't have the tabs. I memorized the song and just played it on the fly. Blessings.
Thanks!
You are welcome. All glory to JESUS! Huge thanks for the kind donation. May GOD replenish it a thousand fold. Blessings.
Salute
GOD be praised. Thanks for listening.
That's how I want to play songs. It's the filling in that's awesome.
Glory to Jesus. Thanks Andrew. God bless you and keep you safe, especially during this pandemic. ❤️ 💕 I
@@esongsore can you do one for Israel Houghton Deeper into the water? You will see what i mean when it gets to the chorus "Lord give us a heart" ruclips.net/video/bgu_vtW8lVM/видео.html
This song is such an open canvas for the bass. Love your style bro
Perfectly said. The chord progression is simple and quite repetitive, which allows for self expression in the pocket. GOD bless you for the very kind words and for taking time to watch it. All glory to JESUS!
@@esongsore Amen. Thanks for the inspiration
Simply elegant! Excellent! Thank you for blessing us with this.
All glory to Jesus. Thanks for listening and taking time to leave a comment. GOD richly bless you

Glory to JESUS. Thanks for the kind and encouraging words. :)

So good
GOD be praised. Thanks for listening.
It's more than easier to see if you play with tab.
Good point. Unfortunately, I have never used tabs, and I don't know how they work. Sorry I can't be of more help. GOD bless, and all glory to Jesus.
@@esongsore Good
Great selection of notes bro! Our praise team will be playing this soon. God bless you and keep you!
All glory to Jesus. GOD bless you too.
Superb bro ❤️❤️
All glory to Jesus. Thanks
Please teach me how to be patient with myself! God I'm asking You! In Jesus' Name I pray 🙏!
He will teach you. Keep your eyes fixed on him and continue to trust HIM.
Great cover. Helps me play at church
Keep it up
@@albyvarghese6981 Thanks a lot Alby. So glad I can be of help. Praying GOD continues to grant you growth in your bass playing journey.

Can I have your lesson on bass beginner
Very sorry.....unfortunately, I don't teach lessons.
Fantastically tasteful!! Blessings my friend!!
All glory to Jesus. Thanks for listening.
@@esongsore Yep, the Lord is the best! We would be nothing without Him!!
What’s that little braclet that you have on your bass called? Above the neck
It's is a Gruv Gear Fretwrap. I usually use it when I am recording slap stuff. It helps mute the strings and minimize noise. Otherwise, it is not really needed.
Emmanuel_S Music Thanks, btw your bass playing is epic keep it up and God Bless you
I love this boss... Please can you crate a video to explain bit by bit the notes you played ??😢😢
Unfortunately, I can't do that. That will take a lot of time, and my work schedule is pretty tight. GOD bless you, and all glory to Jesus.
Love it. I wished there was tabs for this
Wish I understood how tabs worked and could create them. So sorry. GOD bless you :)
That was amazing!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks a lot for listening. All glory to JESUS! GOD bless you.
This is so beutifull music 😇
