Brown Eyed Girl Bass Riff Deconstruction

Rocking out the Ernie Ball MusicMan Stingray to showcase how Van Morrison's 'Brown-Eyed Girl' is an excellent example of a bass riff that can follow and connect chord through a major scale. Rock it out! Also check out the video on how to walk a bass line:

A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his KZbin channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

Phew, I needed this. Had this song in my head for a while now and have been meaning to getting around to learning it.

[@seandaniel23]

It's a fun one.

[@JaysonT1]

I gots to tell ya, Sean, you are very appreciated. Sometimes people don't get enough recognition for the things they do. That being said, "thank you". Ironically, when I first came across your videos, many years ago, I was not planning on being a regular viewer or sticking around. Now, the mightiness has become a weekly lesson. Just showing some love (chest bump)😎

[@seandaniel23]

My man! I appreciate it bud!

[@NMranchhand]

Perfect timing, I just picked up the base, and that’s everyone’s old fav. But best, you have such a great talent for teaching things in a sort of lean, clean, uncluttered way that the point of your lesson is instantly absorbed (and applied generally). Thank you.

[@itthyxca1607]

You picked up a base ehhhhh

[@NMranchhand]

IT Thyxca I tried picking up a bass but it was too slimy and I couldn’t hold it.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much!

[@boshrek4759]

I love when a song is deconstructed to see how it’s built!! Fantastic 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@eileenlander1380]

This is so helpful, thank you. I was a bit confused by so many notes watching a demo with tabs, but now I see it is just walking bass…thank you so much.

[@tammyo8922]

I love this - thank you!!! 🥰 I just started learning bass and I really appreciate your approach! And cool bass…I’m diggin’ it 😎

[@shireboundscribbles]

I've been trying to get my head arounds tabs of this but it just gets tangled. Seeing the scale is so much easier. Thank you!

[@JKFlaker]

Very helpful thanks. Not only did I want to learn that song the theory behind it was super helpful.

[@purplebass6834]

Sean this is without doubt the best and most straightforward bass lesson on KZbin for the intro/verses of this song- Thank you. Would you consider please doing a similar tutorial for the choruses? (Think they go C/D/G/Em/C/D/G/D)

[@briancollis1809]

gah! thank you so much for this video! SUPER HELPFUL

[@daryllonien7813]

You cracked me up with your pink eyed girl, very catchy

[@SamlonHoldfield]

Thanks. Wonderfully simple and useful.

[@seandaniel23]

Love this song :)

[@charleyndawn3502]

Thank you very, very much. You explained it well for a beginner like myself.

[@slingerace]

Ha, perfect timing. I just started playing the bass and worked this out a couple of days ago on my own, though I used the open D and G strings.

[@seandaniel23]

Whatever works!!

[@lyrasimo]

nice musicman bro

[@seandaniel23]

Love that bass!

[@jamesroop9439]

Thanks for the lesson. Just what I needed. Loved the pink eyed girl comment. Can I use it at gigs 😀

[@briancollis1809]

could you (or have you? just discovered you...) done a similar treatment for Moondance?

[@scottyshepardthesmoothdeep3081]

Thank you so much for a awesome bass guitar tips and lessons, maybe you just play and tech bass guitar and forget about the other stuff, cause I think you are a good teacher and so easy to understand and follow. Thank you

[@seandaniel23]

More bass on the way!

[@scottyshepardthesmoothdeep3081]

@@seandaniel23 wow man you are the man, thank you so much!

[@davidhoxit4274]

I say rudimentorarily the same way!! Hey Sean I kid around a lot on your channel but is there any way you can have Andrea and Michelle on your channel " live " next WEEK? I just want to give back to the people that have given me so much including yourself...You guys have a great you tube community and I enjoy all your videos...just wanna give back to the people that provide me with so much entertainment! You guys are great!!! Music is my hobby...my job is much harder so let me send thanks for making my hobby so much better!! For real!!!!!

[@seandaniel23]

Sorry I'm just getting back to this! Michelle doesn't live here and usually I go live with Ian on Friday mornings. It's kind of hard to plan stuff with Andrea, we just kind of spur of the moment get together when we both have time. Thanks so much for always checking our stuff out!

[@paulangelo1974]

Fantastic timing Sean, how did you know? I started working on this song the 17th.

[@seandaniel23]

I gotchu!

[@billffitch1787]

Sean Daniel yeh, me too...I started working on this in the ‘70’s...hahaha

[@davidncw4613]

Pink eye girl, yes, catchy indeed lol

[@jonnyglendinning8401]

Can you please do a like a 2 minuet video explaining how you feel about Jason Mraz? I’ve heard you mention his name like 2-3 times in your videos and can’t tell if you love him or hate him hahaha

[@seandaniel23]

I definitely do not love him.

[@whamni]

Nice Bass, but sorry to say you got the intro wrong, the first three notes should be on the open E string E, F#, G I didn't watch the rest of the video so maybe by now in 2021 you have it right !

[@A1MZR6]

Gosh darn missed first comment. Hey Sean

[@seandaniel23]

Hey hey Carson!

[@MrWinstonABailey]

Who else clicked another link when you heard "pink eyed girl"? Ok, how many experienced a link that refused to work. Who is named "Jim"? Do we have any Jim's around? Hey, you guys, let me know if Jim shows if i'm not here ok? oh he's still talking

[@syedijlalofficial]

12th 😣

[@seandaniel23]

Still top 20.

[@finalfrontier001]

[@seandaniel23]
