Fantastic stuff, James. This is just so helpful on my bass journey. A great guide and start to starting genre work, the first genre I have to learn is blues. Anyone agree?
Wow! excellent lesson James & Toby, brilliant as a newbie of 12 months i now know what they mean when they say playing in, the lets say key of C with a 1-4-5 progression the penny dropped many thanks for this free lesson, it was one of the things i could not get my head around for some reason but now it makes sense. Thank You both.

Hi Robert 70% of audience is North American and this is the language they use. I was bought up using the same system as you know… so I understand where you’re coming from. However, having used this system now for 7-8 years I do actually think it’s simpler and easier to understand. I’m very happy to adapt, but understand if other don’t want to.
This was fantastic. Thank you James & Toby so easy to follow and provides lots of things to think about to use going forward.
Our pleasure!
Very useful. Thanks

Thanks! Blues is a great genre to start with. Totally agree!
Thank you, great lesson
Glad you like it! Thanks!
Good stuff. I've been spending a lot of time on the blues lately, so your... timing is impeccable!
Indeed! Glad you like the video! Cheers!

Great lesson as always James, This is ironic your blues lesson on the week lost the founding father of British blues, John Mayall. RIP John Mayall.
How sad!
Any early influence of mine…
great advice, thanks for the lesson,a amazing!
Glad you like it, Omar! Cheers!
thanks thanks thanks
Most welcome
Should be very helpful for many. No escaping the numbers system! As I played guitar before bass I knew all of these and they became second nature.
That’s why it’s so far powerful ;-)
A little Tenor Madness atthe end there 👍
Totally! It’s the foundation of so many jazz tunes
What about the sharp 5/minor 6th turnaround? The Thrill is Gone, etc...
We can cover minor blueses in another video…
There seems to be an issue with the pdf - can't find any, the link on the linked page apparently doesn't wotk

Hi you play short scale bass
Hey guys, what bass is Toby playing?
Think it’s a Japanese p bass reissue :-)
Thanks, I knew it was some sort of P bass, but it looked kinda like a short scale (I'd love to see a Mustang/Bronco-sized P bass!!)
I wish you would use Crochets and Quavers instead of 1/8 and 1/16 notes etc, music in history is not modern crap
Hi Robert
70% of audience is North American and this is the language they use. I was bought up using the same system as you know… so I understand where you’re coming from.
However, having used this system now for 7-8 years I do actually think it’s simpler and easier to understand.
I’m very happy to adapt, but understand if other don’t want to.
I have to admit the USA is totally logical and arguably easy to learn.@@ebassguitar
