3 Arpeggio Patterns That Can Transform Your Bass Playing

[@phillipmcguire3335]

From us down under (AUSTRALIA) bass players - you are one of the best instructors on You Tube and I appreciate your dedication and clear method of teaching. Keep up the good work

[@jay8819]

Phillip McGuire we know what down under means. Especially us English people.

[@oggie6907]

oath

[@emmanueltuisaua7204]

OATH I'm also from down under (New Zealand). I have no idea why I came to this video. I remember watching this about a year ago and it came up in my recommended. Learned a lot from this channel.

[@hans-joachimbierwirth4727]

How can this lesson be useful for you down under where you have to play your bass with your feet while in handstand when watching this video???

[@mileselliotmusic]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! The lightbulb went on for me after 4 years of playing bass.

[@nelsonmaragoto6887]

So many complainers out there! This is a free lesson and very useful, he can’t please everybody , obviously not for a total beginner. To me he was not boring, just appreciate the free tips.

[@altondixon6764]

Agreed

[@saberashabnam]

He teaches great

[@pantsenfuego9986]

Annoying that he stares into camera while playing.

[@patriciamcknight5258]

can`t stand negativity,especially when someone takes time out of there lives to maybe help anyone become a better bass player! I`m an old man now, but never get to old to learn something from your lessons! Wish they u tube when I was young. I salute you sir for everything you do. keep up the great work!

[@bustabass9025]

Cut 'im some slack. He's actually a very good teacher. Unlike some other "expert" youtube bass cadets, you don't have to watch or wait for him to finish foolin' with the dog, messin' with the kids, or playing grab-ass with the ol' lady, before he offers anything meaningful in his tutorials! Frankly, I find that much more annoying than this detailed, how - to monologue.👑🎸🎵

[@JoeGarofaloII]

This is the most British comment I've ever read 🤣

[@jerkov420]

Wow this was great. I've been doing something like this instinctively, but you've now given me a solid theoretical foundation for it. Thanks man

[@TheKatMoore]

You are the first person I’ve seen break it down this well. Thank you!

[@m.c.johnson8061]

Another clear and concise and just a fabulous lesson. Wonderful delivery, too! Thanks, man, really helpful and I'm really grateful.

[@lunatricks]

aye. this ^^^^^

[@JoeGarofaloII]

Haven't played bass or any instrument in over a decade...my brain hurts a little but I was able to follow a small part of this! Thank you, got my wheels turning again!

[@dornelli1]

as usual, hit the ball park, awesome easy lesson to follow, without all the ego so present in other bass instructors on yt

[@dizleran9276]

Those pick ups look dope.

[@wasabifox]

What are those pickups?

[@darkySp]

@@wasabifox Sims Super-Quad pickups. They're handwound pickups that can simulate a humbucker, single coil or split-coil pickups individually with a toggle switch and you can change the pickup types on each pickup independently. Pretty pricey, but you basically get all types of pickup configurations in 1 bass.

[@86davy]

I was thinking that. Jackson style pickups but they aren’t jackson

[@4stringz.]

@@darkySp thank you!!!

[@Dinghly]

I am learning bass from different sources, mostly from youtube, and they all teach using different forms of triads, for example, one would teach 4th finger G major triad without ever mentioning about 2nd or 1st finger g triad, and the other one would teach 1st finger g triad without menting others and which I got very confused about it. Now I know why there are many forms of triads. This video made it crisp and clear. Thank you for your effort into making this video!!!

[@Cajun2Player]

I'm with Nelson... it's a free lesson and if you are just starting on bass very useful. I have been playing for a couple years and still found it useful and NOT boring.

[@jackzochling3077]

These lessons are fantastic! I learnt bass as a kid, getting to a pretty decent level and working through a fair amount of the theory covered here, however after 10+ years of not playing its all gone. These videos are a fantastic reintroduction, or even just an introduction for anyone learning from scratch. The balance between covering the important stuff without getting bogged down is bang on, keep up the good work!

[@669mccaffe9]

Best bass teacher on the Internet. So glad to have found your website. THANKS so much!!!!

[@vincentbernhard9285]

Holy moly! It's so simple yet effective! Thank you very much for the lesson!

[@G_yutt]

Talkingbass never disapoints😢😢 giving out exactly what we need thank you sooo muuch

[@paulbill1078]

These are the best god damn bass lessons ever, Mark. Thanks!

[@talkingbasslessons]

Pablo Heinrichs Thanks Pablo

[@boghareb]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your full explanation, my skills are increasing every day.

[@jcmcclain57]

Brought the three positions into context from a different perspective than I had considered. Good lesson.

[@johnd942]

You are clearly an extremely well trained Bass instructor; technically very sound in your methodology.

[@ronwill1955]

Great lesson. Very clear and informative. Thank you for your generosity. Peace and blessings to you . . . and through you.

[@alike6517]

WHAT? DID YOU SERIOUSLY JUST DO THAT?! OMW to buy a bass lesson or two - thanks, mate.

[@TeleBass1]

That was an GREAT Lesson! Awesome. Thank you for teaching this. I learned a bunch. Take care, Randy

[@Yosemite-George-61]

You're a born teacher... thanks a lot!

[@alexdaneau186]

As a semi-pro level saxophone player in Montréal, Québec and a debutant/hobby bass player, i want to thank you Mark for your great lessons. Well made, with technical knowledge and straight-foward information. I am impressed by the number of rude and stupid comments ( it comes with the territory : internet, the stage for everyone, even stupid people! ). Sadly, a lot of people nowadays wants shorcuts and tricks to learn to play without practicing ( which is what many channels here are about )...It just doesn't work that way. If you want to master a instrument, there is just one way and it's knowledge and practice. Let them stay in their dreams...they'll still be playing in their garage in 10 year's time reflecting on how advanced they are playing by themselves, or for their gilfriends while looking at all their super expensive gear that makes them great....Merci Mark and keep up the good work!

[@talkingbasslessons]

Alex Daneau Thanks a lot. I luuurv Montreal!

[@alexdaneau186]

Indeed a nice city! If you ever come in town with a band and need a solid opening act ( jazz-funk style ), don't hesitate, let me know! www.voodoojazz.ca In the meantime, i'll keep practicing my bass playing with your tutorials! Cheers!

[@martinheath5947]

Nice lesson! Big revelation for me was playing root with 4th finger and octave three frets behind, three strings up, with 1st finger. Super useful

[@loisoduor5270]

love this!! Genius indeed. Thank you so much for such awesome lessons💕

[@elik5485]

Brilliant! Best bass guitar teacher on KZbin, and it's not bloody close. Thanks Mark.

[@jeremychamplin1078]

Simple but effective! I learned something new today. Thanks

[@dannytetreault]

Slowly becoming a huuuuuuuge fan. Love this channel. Great for beginner bass lessons.

[@pauloftarsus8145]

Talking bass is head and shoulders better than any other bass lessons on you tube without a doubt, unequivocally, undeniably.... indubitably Watson :)

[@stevewoodward7850]

Great explanations and instructions, easy to follow and logical thanks a lot.

[@kemarspencer9560]

Work smarter not harder nice lesson mate !!

[@michelegrassi4385]

Great lesson!! thank you !

[@jasonesty3880]

This is the lesson I wished I had years ago! Fantastic!

[@artronpumps]

This has just struck me as obvious but had never knew about it ! Within a beginning fret position using the 1 finger per fret rule then there are a host of available arp patterns with little shifting and of course the patterns are just moveable and repeating themselves ..seems obvious but I never knew .what a great tip.

[@jamesrodgers91]

So cool that Shane McMahon teaches bass now

[@saveusmilkboy]

I am so happy I was not the only WWE moron down here, thinking the same thing.

[@blazeupwithme8824]

🤣🤣🤣

[@yigitcengil2465]

Here comes the money notesss

[@LorenzoMaes]

Thank you very much for this video. I knew the first two patterns but did not know the 4th finger pattern nor how to connect them. This is going to change how I play!

[@IntoTheBass]

Great explanation from a great KZbin Bassist/Teacher!

[@Jackhammer69able]

In one minute I learnt that there is a first, second and fourth finger position. Excellent lesson.

[@CirrusSR20Pilot]

THAT is awesome! Thanks Mark!! As a beginner, I've been working through your Sight Reading course, but this fingering technique is going to change a lot of my understanding. You are a GREAT instructor!!

[@scottjones1219]

Damn! Them pickups register the guitarist next to ya too?! Lol I dig em..dig the whole bass!

[@greggmcfarlane4267]

Loved this thank you!! Explained it really well whilst numbering the frets too. Only wish you’d have done it with the G too but will figure it out 👍🏼🤙🏼🎸

[@abejegoshu4064]

this is ownsome! Thank you, sir.

[@kieranlines76]

I always knew the 3 variations but never used them together like that. I think i will start to now. Nice tip

[@Lughnerson]

Me too.

[@AB-308]

Excellent instruction. Thank you

[@andrewdeck7945]

thanks for the video! Never noticed that 4th finger position before! Will definitely need to incorporate it in my playing!!!!

[@thelegend3742]

Hey mark, I >loved< this video. It helped me out a lot in seeing the fretboard connections that I did not see before.

[@thisischarlietrotter]

Thank you for this! I have learned the different finger positions but you just connected them for me in a way I hadn’t though of.

[@marshwetland3808]

Superduper. Thanks, Mark!

[@boshrek4759]

Great lesson! I like listening to you then go other places and return back! Your the “hammer”! (Last Word) thanks 🙏

[@marcobrugmans3681]

Hey mark...CONGRATULATIONS ...!! greetz from holland

[@benjaminyeri3842]

Lightbulb moment, thank you sir

[@chadamparo7711]

thank you so much. i just started playing bass recently; bought my first bass a month ago. I always start at the second hand position when I play arpeggio. and it sounds boring when I play it over and over again. This lesson is very enlightening. thank you

[@andisuryo5547]

Salam dari Indonesia, thanks a lot for your lesson,,, my online teacher.

[@timothysmith7868]

excellent video... thanks so much

[@JAMZ1960]

Well done & thank you

[@gabrieladebayo1829]

Great lesson from a great instructor. Thank you.👍

[@OlandoMcCall]

Great lesson Mark..cant wait for the book!

[@SeanVplayer]

Congratulations Mark on your recent plunge into Marital Bliss!! Hope it is and remains Blissful for you and your bride! Thank you for all the Brilliant lessons you post! It is Huge the way you are influencing bass players around the world!! Thanks again.

[@arithmetech]

Reminds me of what would happen if CAGED was developed on just 4 strings, and I'm into it. Nice job, man.

[@kopfkompost]

6:19 It made me laugh when you said "1,6,2,5 in the KFC", 'cause I thought "What does this bass lesson got to to with chicken buckets?" :-D

[@kopfkompost]

btw. thanks a lot...this helped a lot

[@wjckc79]

I did not realize until watching this, that most people giving online bass lessons can't talk and play at the same time. Further, when I watch videos like this, I am amazed at basic rookie techniques I never learned.

[@elgranchatarrero8167]

Great! Thanks from Argentina!

[@williamlewis6615]

Killer lesson thank you

[@suiheisensongs]

Awesome lesson Mark! Thanks a lot :) !

[@anthonynelson3669]

Great bass. Looks awesome. Sounds better..

[@johnwilkerson1535]

Great lesson Mark. And the Sims pickups sound great

[@lot13music]

thanks man, I wrote a song using this technique 5 minutes after learning it.

[@zombieallen]

Outstanding video.

[@nkf8164]

Very very good tutorial lesson, keep it up

[@GabrielVelasco]

Great lesson. Thanks.

[@zubrycky]

This is awesome! Thanks for the tips!

[@chuckguy3057]

This video is so helpful!!

[@lonniewhite6502]

Will you please aim your camera so I can see your right hand fingering better? Love how you explain so clearly!! THX -- Diane

[@JoeMM5]

But this isn't a lesson about right hand technique so that would be a waste surely?

[@bassman1233]

Great info!! Thanks!!

[@francettakapsa3389]

Thank so much ❤

[@boyonbass]

Altho Scott Divine is also, u are an Incredible teacher/player. Thx for all that u doo...

[@HeyClutch]

This was a great lesson. If you didn’t take anything away from it or have complaints about it maybe you should just stick to hammering away on root notes, or maybe the triangle is more your instrument.

[@lindateuling7862]

Good lesson - it would be good to see some closeups on the fretboard

[@jalikungu]

Quite practical.

[@bobwright663]

Good lesson, thankyou

[@ParadijsAruba]

great tips

[@charleskrutzen94]

Thanks, Mark. Since I always try to figure out as many patterns as possible all over the finger board, when learning a new song, in order to play that song in the most economical and effective way, I was curious after this video of yours. Obviously I'm on the right way :-) Not to forget: congratulations on your marriage!

[@HeriBassista]

Simple dan jelas, terima kasih (thanks)

[@aniket2666]

Is it Ibanez Sr premium one??? Man I love it

[@daviesmoffatphiri5347]

thanks thats really nice

[@terpyguy]

This is a great lesson for Spanish Cumbias

[@Scout_Warrior]

Mind=blown, everything makes sense.

[@cosmos4040]

Excellent

[@arthurwang3354]

Gold.

[@chiorpish]

Thanks a lot for the lesson; quick question, are the shapes for each finger position the same regardless of the note we find ourselves on? Cheers.

[@craig061002]

Lightbulb moment!

[@datrucksdavea2080]

cool, ty fun way to play around

[@vickeybird]

Real eye opener, Thanks!

[@GodsTruthMinistries]

What strap are you using here? Looks very well-made. Great instruction here also.

[@gtate135]

👍 cool lesson

[@brianwilliams1588]

💡 💡 💡! OMG so much light! Need glasses 😎

[@pencilbender]

you should put the name of the guitar you're using in the description sir. because that is one hell of a cool thing

[@pleromicpastry5445]

It looks like an Ibanez to me
