Thank you, Dan. I love this lesson, especially the 1/16 note swing.

Hey dan I’m confused maybe you can help me out. On the a minor triad you hit the E on the second fret on the D string wouldnt that be like the 6th or 7th note in the sequence? where instead I’d start on the A and hit the C for the third and the E on the 7th fret 2nd string for the fifth.

This is the first video where I've seen someone show the 'through' the strong method at a different angle, to really see what they are doing. Great stuff!

Perfect explain for me at the five string because I am in between a four and a five string! Thank you! You presentation is also fine!!

Hi Dan, thank you for the lesson. But can I request a lesson about how to play bass like in Japanese songs. Anime songs to be precise.

saya dari indonesia,,tapi saya sangat menyukai anda dalam hal berbagi ilmu,,,🎉

Hi Dan, thank you, excellent lesson. A one-groove bass line I like is Rick James, Give It To Me Baby. It’s got a quick double pluck element to it.

Just gorgeous!!

To prevent teraring up the fingerboard stop shaking the notes sideways. Check out some Cello players for vibrato technique.

Trying to learn bass - how come the thumb is resting on the string?

Waiting for a fretlesssss....

What’s the difference between F#7 and F#? It’s on string E: second fret for both right?

It sounds familiar but I can't place it anywhere

I love it 😍

So dope!

Lovely!

What bass is that?

Love the Jazz Bass fretless sound!

Shouldn't you remove the protective plastic wrap on the neck?

please take the full bass line that jaco did in havana jam 79 😢

You need to do more scale/technique videos without speaking. Just play the notes... In time, so I can learn the sound and feel of them while I sleep. Like books on tape but I need an 8hr, non stop "tutorial" on here without the human voice interrupting

In the grand scheme, I think I have made a decision since I'm a shred-n-sweep symphonic style guitarist but love the bass and need to get back into playing one more frequently. My bedroom rig is a halfstack with an all tube head and a solid-state head stacked on it lol. *I don't want to deal with fiddling with devices when I want to play bass but acoustic basses leave much to be desired with volume output.* The resolution is I have 2 dozen guitar amps, I can just add one to my bedroom setup for bass. As it is, I still remember the first time I had an acoustic bass 31 years ago when I was 15; *the overwhelming majority of them are incredibly quiet compared to what the expectation their visual appearance invokes.* I suppose in the grand scheme of things, an acoustic bass is worth owning but you're still generally going to want to plug it into an amp most of the time.

Thanks soo muchh👍👍👍

oh my - what i call the dirty "D" word - discipline.

Thank you so much for posting this! Im going to spend a lot of time learning these lines. And I really appreciate how you broke down each line for a beginner like me

Great, another song for slap beginners. Every bass teacher on the internet seems to repeat the same three songs when recommending beginner slap basslines. This one is new to me.

What a bass ... Beautifull !!

And learning these shapes can get you the relative minor scales also...plus a few additions and you get the blues scale

Another great offering by Dan Hawkins; thanks again. This is Howard. I wanted to recommend the KZbin Channel pdbass. Lots of good musical history there. That is something I know that you have explored. Quite often he will even break down elements and names of specific players of various parts. One I checked out a few months ago was "Why is Tower of Power So Funky". There are many more and I love the historical information that you offer [ I purchased several of your books] and also pdbass. I am still practicing from 2 to 4 hours per day depending on my schedule. Keep up the great work that you are doing. Blessings

What computer program for isolating bass tracks?

Excellent, just found your channel, yoy got a new follower

I can imagine guys who have never heard "Stratus" wonder what the hell that simple line is doing in here. But you have to hear the original to fully understand the pulse of the bass line.

Cheers Dan the thunder cat fill is amazing watch the tiny desk Mac miller to see

Amazing lesson as always! Thanks Dan, we appreciate all you do

I never realized I was playing a 5th and 6th below the root. I know theory but it just never occurred to me! Great tone btw.

Loved this. Good to try and work out (transcribe) the baseline first, before looking at the music/tab also!

Ultra útil!

i would add to that EW&F's "let's groove" - clue's in the name my friend... groove on!

Have really been enjoying learning the bass using your vids - still a bit lost re: scales but getting there

Mantap..Sangat menginspirasi, lanjutkan..👍

As per usual, another great lesson Dan. 👍

Excelllent lesson. I think the Billy Cobham Stratus bassline was sampled by Massive Attack for their track Safe From Harm.

Always excellent, professor.

what pick MM do you use...saw one parked on pick guard of another 4S bass you were using

making me want a 5S😎

Thanks a lot, I starting (coming from drum playing) and these lessons are just so clarifying for someone like me, congrats on the video !

Dan, im 57. Never played music in my life. I got a fender bass bundle. Im playing 150 days in a row now. Im a slow learner. Im learning though. It amazes me how you professionals play. Wow! So effortless, im so slow, lol. Thanks for everything.

I could always play by ear. But that skill holds me back when it comes to reading music. I will learn it no matter what.

Wow 😮! New bass? 👌👍 Greetings, teacher

I don’t know music theory but I want to master these techniques, can someone explain what 0:09-0:20 means? And how I can apply it to my playing
