Hi Bernard! To reach that C with your left hand, you'll need to move the entire hand up the fingerboard (towards the floor) one half step. Otherwise, you'll be playing the B just below the correct note.
At about 3:05, you go from the C arpeggio to what I think is the F note, which my ear likes. But then you stop & never play that I to IV progression again. Why do you go from the I to the IV there? As I’m practicing, I am following exactly what you are doing the rest of the lesson from C to Dm to E, etc. But my ear wants to go from the I to the IV, like you did briefly. Why is that? I feel like that’s what we would do with vocal warm ups? I hope my question makes sense!
Hi Jacy! So I just go from the I to the IV there as an example of how the walking arpeggios might be used in a country song. The exercise itself is designed for you to become comfortable with every option in C major, so you then know what to do when playing a song with any given chord progression.
Why isn't anyone teaching bluegrass songs on the bass ,I just looked for fox on the fun bluegrass song in bass lessons and other bluegrass songs and there are none on RUclips WHY
Hi Joseph! I totally get that -- while I don't have Fox on the Run out there yet, I do have this recent video on five approaches to On My Way Back to the Old Home, which you can find here: ruclips.net/video/uLfRxieU7fA/видео.html
I joined your Patreon. Thanks for the excellent digestible approach.
You bet Jacy! Thanks for joining!
At 1:54 you’re going “up to that top C”. Looking at your finger position I cannot find a C there. What am I missing?

Excellent. Thanks!
I can learn how to play better by playing song and I am sure I not the only one so just putting it out there
What kind of bass are you playing?
Hey Charlie! I play a New Standard Ruggieri bass from 2017!

hi can you share your mic/pickup info? What do you use?
Hi Cathy! I actually made a video about this! You can find it here: ruclips.net/video/VkKzPulOUq4/видео.html
Why use the C6?
I’m using the A note as a melodic move, to keep the line smooth!
