I'm primarily a guitar teacher, but I learned bass before 6-string, and still love it dearly. I teach a handful of bass students, and this is my go-to vid to show what the bass can do, instead of just playing roots and tonics. Nate, you have done a fantastic job here dude. This is one of my favourite things on KZbin. Keep doin! what you're doin'!

[@NateNavarro]

Much appreciated, Mike! 😁🙏🏼

[@youtubeuser206]

Why don’t you just demonstrate what the bass can do tho?

[@virginia.malone]

Please consider putting out lessons. I don't know if that's where your heart lies, but you definitely have the ability to inspire people to pick up the instrument and obviously the technique down. I think a good number of people would pay to learn from you.

[@NateNavarro]

Thank you! I'll consider it. :) Please leave lesson ideas below.

Honestly the four finger thing. I've worked on it and i find it extremely challenging to get the finger independence down (to avoid unintentional dead notes, especially the pinky-ring transition). Thanks!

[@raymocopo7340]

As a somewhat innovative bassist from the 1970's, this is a mind blowing display of technique, sequence, taste and melodic invention. Congrats on your mastery and willingness to share and inspire. Thank you Nathan! A few more ideas for techniques: left hand over the top of fret board instead of the usual under, bass over the head ala J. Hendrix, plucking and strumming the strings behind the bridge and/or nut in variation or at the same time, playing the strings like a drum with the palms over the pickups (left hand under and right hand over, or both over), using a bow, using volume/tone controls for bass sound effects, bass is the place.

I was 15 when I started playing bass and when I first discovered this video. I remember how absolutely in awe I was, especially at 0:41. I played it over and over again, it never got old. I've come a long way since then, certainly no where near Nate but now I understand how incredibly demanding these techniques.

I think that the real strenght of bass guitar is actually not playing flashy, complicated things, but staying in the back and creating solid foundation for the rythm and groove of the music. Even something simple can be really good and add a lot to the song. But of course there are also great bass players, who put their instrument on front.

[@michaelmercury4891]

Was just on the Mayones site drooling over their beauties & saw this video. You are one sick, sick bastard! I mean that as a compliment: This video made my day. A bass player friend of mine once told me that every technique playable on the guitar could be executed on the bass as well, provided one had the chops to do it. Non-musicians (and even some musicians themselves) don't always understand: those bass strings are spaced MUCH farther apart than guitar strings & it takes some serious finger strength to pull those sorts of feats off! Well done & impressive work, dude! Wish I could get a Mayones Regius sent to me.... I've been dreaming of that guitar for years, but my wife & wallet are in agreement that my guitar collection is enough for now & that my other hobby of collecting knives is less expensive & doesn't take up as much space in our one bedroom apartment... The woman isn't wrong, but there's always room for "just one more" right?
