As a "player of sorts"of the Ukulele for since '21 , I decided to increase my madness , by starting to play a Bass Ukulele.........well, with the help of my buddies Justin , Shane and Steve, the mystery's of the Bass were revealed, slowly. Now I find that with enormous help of Ukulele Wales, and starting from the real beginning, the curtains are slowly lifting...... many thanks.
Hi, I'm waiting for my first UBass to arrive, but learning so much from you already by watching your lessons,I love how you explain in such a well understanding and sympathetic way. Thank you ❤
@@UkuleleWaleshi Rachel, my UBass arrived yesterday, it's a Portuguese make, it's very beautiful and has the hole on the top side next to the built in tuner. APC ❤
Hi Rachel - I'm absolutely LOVING these bass tutorial videos and hope you'll continue them. Your teaching style is so comfortable, and you explain everything in a way that's so easy to understand. THANK YOU so much for all the effort you put into everything ... and playing along with the Ukulaliens videos has been a really fun way to practice. It's a slow go for me, but I'm enjoying every minute thanks to your tutorials. Please keep 'em coming!
Thank You for your lovely comment Holly, so glad you are learning but also enjoying, so important. Also Thanks for the feedback about using the play alongs, fab to hear they are helping too. Keep up the good work!
I picked up the U-Bass a year ago for the first time with the desire to learn. However I got discouraged with the instruction so lost interest. BUT I found you today and got the U-Bass out again and have made such great progress in a short time -- I am so encouraged! THANK YOU - THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for your fun and informative lessons! I received my U Bass today and I am totally in love with it. I wonder if I'll sleep at all tonight, as I am very excited. My U-bass is a J&D with white Aquila thundergut strings. It is the cheapest one I could find online (€ 149.00) because I am a beginner and didn't know if I could handle a bass with my arthritic hands with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome on both hands, but I found out now that I will totally be able to handle the bass. I have been exploring it this afternoon and went through your lessons 1 and 2, and will start lesson 3 tomorrow. I simply love your lessons! I can't thank you enough for those! Love from The Netherlands ❤
My absolute pleasure, I am so glad to be helping! Great to hear you are able to manage the bass uke and I’ve played a J&D (in fact reviewed one ages ago) - not bad at all. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. 😊
Thank you. I have owned a bass ukulele for over a year, but I've never learned to play it because no one (until you) would explain how to play it. I took in-person baritone ukulele lessons for 6 months and he never explained to me what you have in 3 lessons on the bass. Yeah, different tuning but now I know how to find notes on my baritone. He only taught me chords and strumming. I learned the Travis Picking Method on my own but I have never known what notes I was picking. Thank you, again!
Thanks so much, Rachel! I have been playing the uke for quite awhile. I just got my UBass a week ago. I am loving it! Your starter lessons and play along make it fun and easy!
Thanks Tonya, not too long before the next bass lesson. I have a few other videos to do but will look at it next week. Glad you enjoyed and have fun with the Ukulaliens play alongs too.
I have only just discovered your tutorials. Absolutely brilliant. I read music and kinda know the theory of what the bass does, but this is so helpful for getting more confident with where the notes are. And for bass ukulele too, where you understand we are just needing some basics to help a group keep the beat. Many thanks x
It's quite amazing how all the random and jumbled up bits of theory I've (accidentally) managed to glean from playing guitar and Ukulele are dropping into place like a jig saw puzzle. I'm having some " Ah ! So that's what it means" moments.
Many thanks Rachel for posting these, I only found your channel today and have already watched 1,2 & 3. Your lessons are really easy to follow, I don’t have a ubase or bass at the moment, but through your videos I have realised that I can practice the playalongs in the EADG strings on a guitar. Looking forward to watching #4, and going to check out ukualians. Thanks.
I’m a lifelong musician, trained in piano and voice, so I’m very familiar with the musical scale, but not at all familiar with how it translates onto stringed instruments. I took up the soprano uke in 2019 and learned chord shapes so I could jam with friends on Thursday nights. (It’s not a uke group though - the others play guitar, dobro, fiddle, mandolin). I thought maybe I should learn to play bass for when our bass player is missing, but I’m a small person with small hands, and I thought a U-bass would be a better fit than the acoustic bass guitar the host owns. So I bought one. And then … not knowing where to start, I just let it gather dust. I was also gifted an actual upright bass by a friend, and I would LOVE to play it because it would be PERFECT for our group, but talk about big! It hasn’t been played much, either, because I don’t know what I’m doing and it’s a daunting task to get it out of its case and set it up. But I have wanted so badly to play. Then the other day I thought, hey, why not get the bass uke out and at least learn some bass basics (bass-ics, ha ha) first? I searched online for bass ukulele tuning and happened upon your videos, which are FANTASTIC!! Your videos have been so, SO helpful. Your teaching style is wonderful and I love the practices and tests, and the little play-alongs. I will keep coming back to make sure I’m comfortable with where the notes are. I’m going to have great fun playing at the Thursday night jam this week, and I’m hoping it will make learning the upright bass easier by limiting the learning to just how to hold the darned thing, where to place my left hand, and eliminate the “where are the notes” panic. Thank you!!
Thank You so much for your very lovely comment. Firstly great to hear you have a u-bass and are now starting to learn it. For the upright, it really is just a case of it being much bigger but the notes and strings are exactly the same so the ubass will definitely help. Try standing with the corner of the upright facing into your body, not the back of the bass or the side, if that helps. Once you get to grips a little more, have a look at the series of bass lessons on how to read music as these are actually based on an upright bass book and as you already play music, it might make even more sense to you. ruclips.net/p/PLYmTmr75ouDyD0ruUl9xboqprQObrcqQF
Hi. Really great lessons, I love the pacing and your presentation style. I'm currently part way through this one (L3) - I've got the hang of where the notes are but I still need to practice so I'm restarting the lesson each time from about 12 minutes in. The thing I need to ask about is my thumb positioning. I'm fine with remembering to place it at the back of the neck (not wrapping it around). But I find it really difficult to keep it at right angles to the neck (like you seem to be doing). It's much more comfortable (and easier for me to reach the notes with my fingers) if I keep my thumb parallel with the neck instead of at right angles. Is behind and parallel with the neck OK, or will it create difficulties as I progress? I don't want to get into bad habits now just because it's easier if it's likely to impede my playing later on.
Thanks for the lovely comment and so glad you are enjoying and learning from the lessons. I think the most important thing is that you are comfortable when playing and if it feels wrong, stop. The reason I encourage keeping the thumb nice and loose is that you can actually stretch you fingers much further, if you thumb is pointing along the neck, this can restrict your finger movement. I'll try and do some more shorted focussed lessons and take a look at this further, in the meantime, do what works best for you and if it feels uncomfortable give me a shout.
Thanks, hopefully next one towards the end of next week. Also appreciate your lovely comment, it does take quite a while to make a video but I enjoy doing them and knowing that others enjoy them snd help, it really does make the effort worth it.
Hi! How are you? I would like to say THANK YOU! I'm italian and i really appreciate your clarity in the explanations and the way you did :D thanks a lot
Thanks Cate, such positive feedback means so much as it means I'm helping. Purple cable - of course! LOL I think it was Ebay but there are a few different makes that do purple.
my orginnal bass burned up in a house fire and is was not till after I got a devorice I could not buy a new one so I have to reteach myself how to play and your videos are doing wounders I thank you
Thanks. Practice as much as you feel comfortable with. Stop if you fingers get sore and don't stress if you don't practice as much as you want to. Little and often is a great way to think about it.
Hi, I am 77 and just purchased my 1st Bass Ukulele on 01/12/2023 and a little hard of hearing. My question is would it be possible to set your audio mike up a little closer to you as I have trouble (Good Trouble) hearing you. Otherwise I love your style of teaching and I am progressing well. Thank you in advance.
Thanks, this is actually one of my earlier videos and I've improved the qudio quality a lot. Hopefully you'll notice the difference, sorry you are not able to hear these earlier videos properly, I've learnt a great deal (and invested in equipment) since these.
Absolutely love your lessons, but I'm no able to find the playalong videos. Could you help please. I'm from Treorchy originally, I recognise your accent lol
Hi Mike, been a few years since I've been to Treorchy. The playalongs are on my other channel here, hope you enjoy them, give me a shout if you get stuck. ruclips.net/user/UkulaliensUkuleleClub
Does it matter which left finger I use to hold down the string? I’ve osteoarthritis in my fingers and my ring and little finger I struggle to bend. I’ve been playing along with my other fingers fine, but wondering if it’s more a of an issue as I progress? Love your vids - thank you! ( been playing a soprano Uke for years but struggling with chord shapes now because of fingers so thought I’d give bass a go!)
Hi Karen, normally I would suggest tring to use all you fingers but if your are limited with finger movement / strngth I'd say you do what ever suits you or what you are able to manage. It's more important you can play and enjoy than whether you are using "the correct finger".
Hi, I play a Tenor uke in a group. I was wondering if I bought a Bass uke how would I know what notes to play as we use Ozbecos for our music and I can’t find any music with bass notes to play in the songs we do. Look forward to hearing from you. Roger.
Hi Roger, I recommend just playing the root of the chord to start with so if the ukes are playing a C chord, just play a C on the bass or if they are playing a G7, just play a G. You can get more fancy by adding notes and rhythms when you get more confident.
Rachel, are you on patreon or paypal or something where I could provide compensation for your lessons? They are wonderful, and I'd love to be able to contribute, if that's something you're open to. In any event, know that your efforts are so appreciated! 8^)
Hi Jules, Thank You so much, just knowing I'm appreciated is enough, but Thank You for your very kind offer. I'm not looking to make money so have never looked at Patreon etc. I do have a RedBubble shop (link in description) but there is absolutely no need, this is more as I'd had requests for Ukulaliens merch. Your continued support and lovely comments really do make a difference I promise. A couple of days gardening and a couple of other uke videos but hopefully back to another bass lesson next week. Thanks, Rachel
@@UkuleleWales Thank you for your gracious reply and generosity of spirit! One of the things that is helping me through the pandemic/shutdown is your video presence, great lessons, and rockin' follow-alongs on the ukulaliens channel. Your gift seems perfectly timed and unfailingly puts a smile on my face. Wishing you good health, gardening, and lots of everything that gives YOU a smile. 8^)
Great question. I am assuming you mean bass uke as no these would definitely not be suitable for “normal” ukes. You need to be very careful when put these round wound nylon cores on other bass ukes as I have heard of necks snapping / warping if there is no truss rod.
Surely the best teacher giving the best lesson on how to play the bass ukulele.
Thank You for such a wonderful comment, much appreciated. 🥰
So enjoying how accessible you make the learning. What a great teacher

Glad it helped

to relearn how to play the bass
Hello to another Kala owner.
Hello to another Kala owner.
will you be adding videos of ya teaching Bass cords? and how to apply them? tor the reading to notation or tab.? maybe a lesson 4?
Hi, I will be looking at tabs and notation for bass uke. I don't use chords on the bass I'm afraid, sorry. Thanks for the support.
Really good beginner lessons, but eight advertisings during the video are .... I can't find friendly words for it.
But thank you for the lessons.
Thanks Christian, apologies for the ads, it's all automatic with RUclips.
OMG so good I will practice every day how many hours a day do U suggest I should play.?
Thanks. Practice as much as you feel comfortable with. Stop if you fingers get sore and don't stress if you don't practice as much as you want to. Little and often is a great way to think about it.
