Glad you like it, Omar! Cheers!

[@Phlack]

A little Tenor Madness atthe end there 👍

[@ebassguitar]

Totally! It’s the foundation of so many jazz tunes

[@RickRox75]

Fantastic stuff, James. This is just so helpful on my bass journey. A great guide and start to starting genre work, the first genre I have to learn is blues. Anyone agree?

[@ebassguitar]

Thanks! Blues is a great genre to start with. Totally agree!

[@tjones3699]

Good stuff. I've been spending a lot of time on the blues lately, so your... timing is impeccable!

[@ebassguitar]

Indeed! Glad you like the video! Cheers!

[@kevinlander46]

Wow! excellent lesson James & Toby, brilliant as a newbie of 12 months i now know what they mean when they say playing in, the lets say key of C with a 1-4-5 progression the penny dropped many thanks for this free lesson, it was one of the things i could not get my head around for some reason but now it makes sense. Thank You both.

[@ebassguitar]

Our pleasure!

Should be very helpful for many. No escaping the numbers system! As I played guitar before bass I knew all of these and they became second nature.

[@ebassguitar]

That’s why it’s so far powerful ;-)

[@RickRox75]

Great lesson as always James, This is ironic your blues lesson on the week lost the founding father of British blues, John Mayall. RIP John Mayall.

[@ebassguitar]

How sad! Any early influence of mine…

[@LennyG-TPFL]

What about the sharp 5/minor 6th turnaround? The Thrill is Gone, etc...

[@ebassguitar]

We can cover minor blueses in another video…

[@ramhasib9930]

Hi you play short scale bass

[@ulrichlachmuth4130]

There seems to be an issue with the pdf - can't find any, the link on the linked page apparently doesn't wotk

[@ebassguitar]

Hi there, sorry about that. Have you checked your spam folder? Reach out to us at [e-mail] if you still haven't received it and we'll directly send you a copy. :-)

[@markrodgers2976]

Hey guys, what bass is Toby playing?

[@ebassguitar]

Think it’s a Japanese p bass reissue :-)

[@markrodgers2976]

Thanks, I knew it was some sort of P bass, but it looked kinda like a short scale (I'd love to see a Mustang/Bronco-sized P bass!!)

[@robertfreeman7906]

I wish you would use Crochets and Quavers instead of 1/8 and 1/16 notes etc, music in history is not modern crap

[@ebassguitar]

Hi Robert 70% of audience is North American and this is the language they use. I was bought up using the same system as you know… so I understand where you’re coming from. However, having used this system now for 7-8 years I do actually think it’s simpler and easier to understand. I’m very happy to adapt, but understand if other don’t want to.

[@graemerobertson5160]

I have to admit the USA is totally logical and arguably easy to learn.​@@ebassguitar
