[@martinmix7464]

When Josh says "it'll take a long time" to get rid of the flying fingers, take it to heart. I've been playing for years, but never really focused on economy of motion until recently. I've been focused on proper technique for about four months and I've improved but still am not to where I want to be. Don't get discouraged if you're not keeping your fingers down after only a couple weeks of practice!

[@muitosabao]

Same. been focused for a few months in developing technique (both hands) after playing for years with pluck and no sense of proper finger placement. It's great to start feeling the improvement!

This guy is great. I’m halfway through his (paid) lessons and in less than 2 weeks I can play along with my (hugely more experienced) mates in their band. This is no paid promo (I don’t even know the dude…I live in Australia!) but I guarantee you, if you want to learn the bass, pay him his money…it’s not much…and have him teach you.

Learning bass was a childhood dream of mine but my parents wouldn’t let me 😢 Just yesterday I realised, hey, I am 33, now I can learn it if I want! So I ordered stuff and I am looking forward learning with your videos ❤

Same dream, same parents, started at 58.....

[@biglew1161]

I started at around 46, I always thought bass players needed to have big hands and stuff. I've wanted to play since high school.

[@UnKleArchon]

Can relate to that! My parents never let me take music lessons as a teenager. Picked up a bass at 19 and played more seriously when I started music lessons with a teacher at 25. Now 43 playing music with bands since my 29th birthday. My father's behavior has become my music drive never to quit!

[@pathworkmusicservices7364]

I've been a professional music educator for 4 decades. This is the best bass teaching video that I've seen. I'm so glad that I've stumbled across your channel. I'll quickly refer you to all my students.

[@phwhitefly]

Music teacher starts a youtube video and walks out for a smoke break, joking... I'm taking the Bass Buzz course and I'm having so much fun with it, Josh is an awesome teacher. I'm 58 years old and my elementary music teacher put me in a corner with a triangle because I couldn't sing in tune. Totally turned me off from learning an instrument at a young age. But I'm back! And I can groove!

[@brewcityldb]

I have to admit, when I first started going through this video my first instinct was to blow through the exercise, but it's more challenging than I anticipated; especially trying to play it clean and clear. And I've been playing for over 30 years! Thanks for keeping the old dog in line!

[@stoutlager6325]

I had this bookmarked for later reference and just got around to it today. True, it is a little tricky to play clean. On first few passes I kept stylishly sliding in to the 6th fret instead of just playing it plain as intended. It was actually hard to stop myself from doing that.

[@peervincent7845]

Ooohh yes.... Looks easy, but...... play it fast and clear... thats the challenge!

[@WayneGreen-b4y]

ONLY 30 years?

[@joeblogs8204]

If you can play bass with people instead of sitting in a room on your own, you might find the inspiration and excitement of playing along with others keeps you going. Especially if you can gig. That’s how it’s gone for me. I have been lucky to play with some amazing musicians.i am completely rubbish at bass the weakest link in the band. But I practice my ass off to try and not let down the people I am in a band with. He is right! Only find inspiration from others. So what your not as good as others. They are doing their thing. You are doing yours. Least your playing .Things of great value are seldom achieved instantly . If music was easy it would be boring

[@vernsmith9226]

This also describes me.

[@091Cash]

Alright so, gotta say it: this is the best bass class video on the internet. And having watched only this I can bet is the best bass channel on KZbin right now. Everything is on point; good delivery, no stalling, comprensible explanations, great sense of humor, LOTR memes. This is peak bass

[@lordoftheelements2112]

Josh, you are one if the few bass coaches here on KZbin who can make practicing things like this fun and entertaining. And you don't need to apologize for being funny.

[@jaredramos6223]

Been on and off drums since 95, played marching band symphonic, and orchestral even was in a metal band after high school. Got to play the whiskey agogo. Haven’t played a large handful of year. Felt mental health slowly dying because of no outlet. Today I bought second hand bass. I’m going to use your lesson here. I belive in myself and will get somewhat okay. And when I am. I have a specific new one I’m going to buy. Todays purchase the Schecter omen 4 string this is the start of a new chapter. Then when I’m ready I’m buying the Schecter omen elite 5 string. Man it’s beautiful

[@Sonosoz]

6 weeks ago I started bass lessons irl. I'm 54 and always loved bass, but never thought of playing it myself, now suddenly I thought, hey why not. I'm never gonna excel or anything, but just to play along with some simpler tunes would make me happy. I am gonna do this excercise daily now. Not even at 100bpm yet, but whatever, I'll get there. You're stimulating me to do more, so thanks and keep up the good work 👍

[@just_no5287]

Josh is the kinda guy I like to watch even tho I play bass for years know just because of three things: first he's super nice to listen, second even advanced players can sometimes learn new stuff and third ... Did he really just tapped the chords and played a walking bass line ? Damn josh, keep your great work up.

[@scrapman2]

I just love this video, it’s not « PLAY THIS EXERCISE TO BECOME AN UTRLA BASSIST » and it’s juste one stupid exercise that I’ve been playing for months. It’s so much more than an exercise, it’s how to use the exercise in an intelligent manner. Learning how to approach learning. Because very few people will teach you how to learn properly. Thanks josh you are awesome 🤘🏻

[@jarrodsheldon8812]

A bought my first bass literally a few days ago and have been watching dozens (hundreds?) of videos for a total beginner and this is the best I’ve found. When my son bought drums, he immediately tried some Slipknot songs and I implored him to start like this video and build from absolute zero. Thank you!

[@martinmix7464]

Josh's videos are fantastic and the Beginner to Badass course is routinely reviewed as the best of the best. Glad you found your way here!

[@BlueGamingRage]

so he should've started with stone sour instead of slipknot?

@@ByronTexas you missed my joke. Absolute Zero is a Stone Sour song, and Stone Sour is another Iowa band who Corey Taylor sung for

I always enjoy the bass. Trying to go from beginner/intermediate to more intermediate/advanced. Something about the bass that makes it so great.

[@jpofgwynedd3878]

I recently got a bass ukulele. Bass ukulele teachers I've found so far suck. Mr Josh here speaks my language: "it'll take time; do this simple exercise which sounds nice and is satisfying to play for just 10 minutes a day [yeah? I keep losing hours doing this stuff!]." Thanks Josh, so glad I found you - thanks KZbin algorithms! Within a couple of weeks, I've been recruited to a Uke band, and just from these lessons here in no order I'm making sense of it all - it's not quite intuitive yet, but hey, it's just been a month! - and they're happy with the bassline I've written for one of their songs.

[@zephanfoote2774]

Bro I’ve been “playing” damn near 5 years on and off and this is kicking my ass. My hand is sore in muscles I haven’t felt in ages. I’ve much work to do. I been lacking so hard and this really makes it show

[@davidcavanaugh9059]

I'm so green at bass, been drumming for 30+ years. I've been learning for a few months now and I absolutely love playing the bass... this video has helped alot of my problems and my progress.. my only difference is I'm missing almost half of my middle finger on my fret hand and my nub doesn't reach well so I get a little flying sometimes and have had to make some things work that aren't optimal... but thank you for making these videos!! It's very helpful and encouraging!!!

[@huffinLeeroy]

Played bass for 6 years as a teen, and played around with it once or so a month. I recently bought an acoustic bass and realised how sloppy my technique actually was. So I'm starting back at square one to get it perfect, and this is working out to be the PERFECT drill to get me on track. Thanks!

[@scyche]

I’ve been doing this practice every day for three months, never picked up a guitar before then- and it’s considerably improved my playing. The overall sound quality has changed form sounding incomplete with that metal scraping sound to a much cleaner bass tone. My finger dexterity has improved a lot too, and it’s much easier to go back and forth between my index and middle finger ‘plucking’ than just using my index for everything. At this point I’d say the most ‘complex’ baseline I can play is Burnin Love by Elvis, and I’m very proud of myself to see such progress. Thank you very much for this video!

[@stevesaunders8525]

I'm a guitarist who has been contemplating getting my first bass for a while now. Josh's vids nudge me closer to pulling the trigger every day! Anyone else really keen to hear more of what he was playing in the first 6 seconds?

[@Takato]

Level 3 is also good for pick players, as it teaches you to alternate pick when moving between strings instead of doing two consecutive downstrokes or upstrokes, which is something that beginners on pick usually do (me included). Neat exercise, Josh!

[@SuperDuce74]

This exercise was truly outstanding. It pinpointed exactly what I needed to practice, is easy enough to play without an amp, and wasn't so repetitive that it would make me lose focus. Incredible work! 🙇‍♀

[@madeinbreslau]

This exercise is truly useful. I've been having problems with clear execution of couple of basslines recently, got fed up and put them on the back burner. Around the same time I started doing this drill and yesterday I came back to my nemesis basslines. Guess what? They sound much better now and I feel more control in both fretting and plucking hand. Amazing stuff Josh, I love your channel.

Just gonna join my voice to the chorus of praise for this excellent bit of teaching! I’ve been a professional music educator for almost a decade and have experience on several instruments but am just starting on the bass (well, ukulele-bass - but it’s the same notes!). It was so great to find a video that has super practical stuff I can practice now as a beginner but that wasn’t also explaining what half-steps are ;) This was JUST what I’ve been looking for! And since I’m self-teaching with videos instead of taking lessons it’s great to know some bad habits to look out for and how to fix them. This video truly has so much wonderful content. And I enjoyed all the LOTR and bits of your personality that came through as well :) Bravo sir!!!!

Listen man, I think those Lord of the Rings references are ace. That’s just my reaction. The way you tutor the viewer about walking patterns reminds me of an exchange I overheard between my mentor and one of his neighbors who was a renowned jazz French horn player. My mentor played jazz and symphonic upright bass. The French horn player said that he liked the way my mentor played walking lines, going so far as to say that some Berklee School of Music graduates he had acquainted with somehow couldn’t play a simple walking line. I didn’t go to that college myself, even though I have tried getting in. My education is at a community college. However, some alumni of that school who later became faculty members told me the best education they got was there at that community college, compared with prestige universities where they had done their graduate work.

This is actually a very addictive exercise and I haven't actually watched the full video yet 👍 Love it 💜

[@philipmoody]

I took upright & electric lessons from Ed Friedland when he lived in Austin. One of the core exercises was quite similar to this, but actually a time exercise. The advanced versions moved every note to all upbeats, or either 1/16 upbeat inside the beat. Play a metronome super slow, keeping eighths, super fast, etc. and record yourself playing different variations with the metronome. Recording won't lie; your time is probably not as good as you thought. Playing accurately at a very slow tempo is HARD. Boom: Same exercise and now you're also working on your time.
