Dude, you are on a level that I just upvote your lessons at the beginning already

[@foxyroxiedoodah5644]

I really appreciate what you do and how simply you explain the mysteries of this magnificent instrument. It's a great kindness to share your talent.

[@knoell3]

You make everything you do understandable and “ do’able”. Thanks!

[@richardrichard5409]

Absolute gold here, many thanks for the upload ❤

[@jacksonfunksworth3822]

His technique is too solid, I can't tell what his left-hand is doing without the fly-away fingers 😩❤

[@fuadumarsalim618]

Patient and generous teacher

[@gregorydonohoe5012]

Great stuff! You teach the skills we can really use to enhance our rôle in an ensemble

[@MR-pe6em]

Mark, you truly are the best. Whenever I get a bit overwhelmed or frustrated as a beginner, I take one of your lessons and they are so easy to understand and I start sounding great in minutes.

[@cbpeddie1]

Fantastic! A tiny bit above my skill level, but thanks to this great lesson, I’ll get there!

[@0711RC]

Thank you Mark! I Really appreciate you lessons.

[@rasamerlock4042]

Keep up the good work I really enjoy all of your lessons despite many years of performance and Theory I get something out of every one of your videos and I think your a great person in general ;thanks for making the world a better Bass place and place for bass!

[@SirBelvedere333]

Love this progression even wo the fills.

[@BassPartho]

I follow your all lessons.. Thanks for uploading

[@tanweermahdihasan4119]

Hi Mark, I am an avid follower of your lessons. You have developed the perfect framework for teaching lessons. I usually play along with your lessons but your tones are simply fantastic. Can you please work on some lessons on how to produce these tones (with the balances of the knobs, compressors or amp)? Thanks in advance.

[@MrSolfreeman2]

Great lesson. Really helped me think about note choices in fills

[@j3tztbassman123]

Tritones are a happy sound. Depending on how they resolve.

[@malcolm_mal2055]

If you put in in a context of a major (7) chord, yeah it definetly is happy/bright sounding.

[@kimfong8817]

Another great lesson!

[@mukonamaradwa9393]

Very good for beginners wow

[@BazzTriton]

Muito bom. Well explained.

[@tektwinconstruction3576]

What arpeggios are you using for the 2nd & 3rd variations? A or D?

[@richardrichard5409]

That bass has the biggest humbuckers and thinest neck combo I've seen. Ibanez? 😎

[@georocks_]

One of my favorite teacher

[@bradylavy9592]

Thx for the lesson. Never thought of this.

[@danieljames6799]

Off topic. I have a few Ibanez basses but never seen that one your playing. Is the pickups configuration custom on that one? Awesome videos.

[@talkingbasslessons]

SR1000. I bought it around ‘92. Added Sims Super Quads about 5 years ago.

[@douglasperkins9536]

Mark... How do i get to the backing track...for this video,, in the key of D...1 6 2 5 ... Help please...

[@jacksonfunksworth3822]

You can usually searchbar "bass-backing track in D" or whichever you're looking for; there's a lot of free stuff good for practice

[@ianpaul9262]

Genius!

[@ajdayton101]

Where is the backing track located? I found the tabs, but not the track. Great lesson. Thanks.

Brilliant - thanks

[@supergirlsplay6459]

Thanks mark

[@onefatcoconut2617]

I like your bass

[@maranathanono1510]

Hi Mark, a fan here👋. I followed the link to see if I could see them chords you used but I think the link is broken. It first sent me to your site but the link you put there is I think is broken. Can you please put it here on a pdf or may be put it in the screen? Would appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance

[@talkingbasslessons]

I've just checked the link and it works fine.

[@小宇咚]

how do we know the bare bones of the songs? can we make our own?

[@marsudihs3807]

How can I download backing track for this lesson ? thank..

[@tonberryfieldforever]

What model is that Ibanez?

[@BassJazz]

hello Mark is it possible to access backing track for this lesson Thank you very much for your share have a nice day Phil

[@RasherQuivers]

Why is your cable end so thick? Is it a standard cable?

[@andrewlwatts]

I think it's an XLR cable rather than 1/4" phono.

[@RasherQuivers]

That's what I was thinking, but I have never seen anything like it.

[@andrewlwatts]

I know Justin Chancellor from Tool uses a Wal with an XLR in the studio. It's an option on some high end basses (and guitars) for people who are very particular about a clean, balanced signal. There are also XLR cables with 5 pins that can provide power, and maybe that's powering the active pickups. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Mark has made videos in the past about his Enfield Lionhart and his modified Marcus Miller Jazz Bass, but I don't think he's done one about this one.

[@talkingbasslessons]

Just a standard old guitar lead.

[@aaron_852]

Is that Ibanez bass?

[@dentoncrimescene]

Nearly 150000! N1.

[@embambols]

Why are all the chords 7th chords? The songs I play don't have any :D

[@Hulavuta]

I wonder that too. When it comes to bass it seems like everything is a 7th. Though a 7th isn't much different from basic chords so it's not much trouble.

[@miralee3635]

Hulavuta a common genre of a bass player would play is jazz, and jazz chords are normally in 7ths, all the sample songs on this video were jazz as well

[@eugene-d]

It's not only about the jazz. Most blues harmonies are based on 7th chords. Namely I7 (first), IV7 (fourth) and V7 (fifth). Many musicians these days say "why play a regular chord when you can play a 7th?". As was well noted it's still a matter of genre, but in general 7ths sound more interesting than plain triads. In addition the probability of spoiling the mix when everybody's playing C and the bass player takes CMaj7 is almost zero.

[@kianlyle9913]

What brand is that bass?

[@MrLambo-Genie]

Ibanez SR1000. Those pickups tho😍😍😍

[@polyphonesmusic]

@@MrLambo-Genie Enfields i think (thinking emoji)

[@brodominique3800]

I thought the intro is part of the fills for beginners😂

[@howardrash2446]

Hey KZbin..... don't no one wanna add their names to Bernie Sanders campaign

[@kergutierrez4165]

So basically, bass fills are music theory??? Or it can be anything??? I still haven't learned music theory...

[@danielclark612]

Everything musical is music theory. Major and minor scales are music theory. Just fancy lingo.

[@sandgaijin]

It's just arpeggios; taking chords and isolating all the notes to make the chord dance.

[@Kingfish179]

In a sense, yes. You would be using music theory to construct bass lines and fills that sound good. Music theory is essentially the framework we use to explain why certain things sound good in music, and why other things don't.

[@museicluvva8529]

unfortunately mark thinks everyone is going to be playing bass in a funk band or on a cruise liner, he never has rock fills, it is always elevator music in every lesson.

[@miralee3635]

Museic luvva rock fills and metal fills aren’t beginner level..

[@richardrichard5409]

If can't relate this across to other genres, maybe best to take up the triangle. 😂
