I wish I had teacher like you 20 years ago.... what a great teacher and person!

[@Terrilynnmyron]

As usual, you knock it out of the park Scott. I'm new to bass playing and an Academy member. What I think is terrific is that if I want to learn or familiarize with a technique, I can pretty much find it here. When starting to learn, I decided to take advice from you and some of your guests to develop you skill in reading music (both bass and treble clefs) and solid understanding of theory as my foundational training, because it does open up so many more opportunities. Anyway, good show...kudos.

[@agustinsaccone]

Scott'sbasslessons is my Religion! I mean it! This lessons is great! Controlling your finger's prominence is a MUST for every Bass player! Thank you very much!

[@gavinhobbs3831]

Your fantastic thank you for all the fantastic free tutorials which have been a great help getting me back onto the bass. I'm stuck at home with end stage liver disease and try to play my acoustic bass all day every day I'm driving everybody mad.. Thank you for the fantastic tutorials..

[@ronniecraft3895]

thanks Scott this will help , articulate,and improvise once i can do it with out thinking so much about it, and feel it. just relax in it as you do.

[@randywilliams9889]

Hey Scott Randy from Detroit Michigan say think you for your inspirational videos they help out a lot on stuff I don't know, watching and learning stuff I didn't know chords and how to use appeggios and rhythm I have gotten better, still raggedy but I working on better my studies and I hope to get better at playing the bass guitar thanks and stay blessed my friend

[@Jma952]

Thanks Scott! I sort of just play in different "modes" where I change how I approach the bass. For example, when I play with a pick for heavier rock and punk I try to keep everything consistent and tight. And when I play with my fingers for more liberating and from the gut type of stuff, I throw in the loud/soft hammer on/pull off dynamics. I noticed it's easier for me to use the dynamics with my fingers because I can manipulate the strings with my right hand more.

[@Vampier]

I tried signing... my neighbor yelled at me that my bass playing was bad enough already.

[@alexaru8564]

xD

[@orriolbohigas3932]

Signing ? was your pen that loud ?

[@Vampier]

sorry to much bass playing.. flat fingers ;)

[@tim7of717]

@@Vampier Should have stop singing and turned your bass up!

[@chrisberry1586]

Always something new to learn and master. Brilliant thanks 😉

[@PhantterY]

Although I like good production, the content is more important to me. Of course bad production can be detrimental to the delivery of the content, but hey, lets face it, you are a professional.

[@guyonamotorcycle1]

Great lesson Scott! Thanks again!!!

[@laurachaotic2024]

Great exercices! Thanks for the video

[@Reapwhatsown]

Awesome Scott, all the best bro!

[@franciscomarquezleon3757]

I've been playing bass for about a 2 years and a half now, and i've gotten quite good at it (largley thanks to you and the Academy jajaja), but recently I've been sked to teach bass to a few kids about 14 or16 (im 24) and the things is I realize I know what I need to show them (chords, arpeggios, scales, articulations, rythym, etc) but I have a hard time getting what I know from my hands and head into their hands and head...sooooo basically...any tips on how I can be a better teacher??? Or could you do a video on it?? Thanks a lot, ur so awesome!!

[@legendaryambushh6992]

This guys is an amazing bassist! I watched the Got Bass Chops!? video and he wss my favorite!

[@legendaryambushh6992]

[@TheMrOuf]

+Adrien Murail Yup thx again definitely ! *BOOP* PRACTICE MODE ACTIVATED *BOOP*

[@willyampacheco7032]

Great bro, your vídeos help so much. Tnx !!

[@andrewodhiambo4171]

Super useful... When I grow up I wanna be a dynamic bass plater

[@kukeluus18]

Hi Scott, Great lesson as always! I realize now how important dynamics really are, so thanks for that Only one question, could you please upload Human Nature how you played it in bass chops? (the whole song) I really loved your version and could not wait for more! Greetings Tak

[@devinebass]

+Tak Zuid I've been meaning to do that for ages Tak... I'll get it fixed up for ya :)

[@joshevans5127]

Hey Scott! Have you ever heard some of John Wetton (of King Crimson, UK, Asia, etc.) and his bass work? Just curious, because that growly P-bass tone reminded me of some of his live improv work with King Crimson (in '72-'74). If you haven't, look up 'Asbury Park' by King Crimson from their live USA album. Definitely funky.

[@Vanolo999]

1. Gradually from Loud to Quiet (vice-versa) and back 2. Different Dynamics each string 3. Different Dynamics each played note

[@BestBassTabs]

Always great lessons!

[@devinebass]

+Mark Marxon (BASS CHANNEL) Cheers Mark! :)

[@ernestomartinez9651]

what a great lesson!!!

[@ryanwalters2680]

Thank you scott

[@tygerwen9577]

Thank you！

[@miguelmoreno-gd1zt]

Man... you´re fucking great just by sharing all this stuff! I ´ll take classes with you some day, promised!

[@zephyrrainn1033]

love your vids scott

[@devinebass]

+banana man aka. matthias Cheers Matthias!

[@DR-nh6oo]

Great lessons, many thanks. But forgive me, I will be too distracted if I don’t ask, do you advise wearing gloves while playing for any reason? And while you are at it, is that an ultra skinny bass in the background, or a trick of the light?

[@thesavagehorde9724]

Great lesson. My dynamics aren't the same but they are all over the place. this will help me to control them. Thanks Scott. Btw, what's the name of the guy you talk about at 14:56? (Don't know how to spell it) :D I would really like to know.

[@Fak3guru]

C'est fantastique!

[@gimmeagig]

That P bass sounds good.

[@TeniMathew]

Wow! Scott, which are those chords at 8:08 ?

[@markbass354]

Scott nice bass , wish my new bass had that bridge , the first bass I bought looked exactly like that but the big name brand that I won't mention couldn't send me a new bass out of the box that wasn't scratched up and I tried 3 times. I had to pay a little more for the standard J bass and it's blue , it's nice but the bridge is cheap .

[@redtomfunk]

great video! What is the name of the bass player you mention towards the end?

[@thewomble1509]

Hi Scott, I really appreciate your lessons and advice. Just a quick question : you say that most bassists fall into the trap of playing a line in a robotic fashion. How would "sexying it up" with tonal and technical variations work in a studio setting as i understand at recording time straight and simple is best?

[@DR-nh6oo]

Wouldn’t that still be ‘sexier’, even if a little more difficult to engineer?

[@liambrady5713]

Hey Scott I've been watching your bass videos for along time... I wanted to know if it's possible to do a video on different articulation I'd appreciate a response

[@jacobwilliams1736]

That bass is built for dirty dirty funk

[@crazay_bassist4110]

Scott how do you get that really harsh popping sound on the F?

[@bertstang3006]

14:59 What I the guys name? SCOOTIES HARRISON?

[@nicolosenigagliesi2482]

Hi Scott You're a GREAT teacher! Greetings from Italy ps what strings do you use in this video?

[@devinebass]

+Nicolò Senigagliesi Cheers Nicolo! They're Dunlop super brights :)

[@spost26]

Scott! What strings you got on that thing?

[@albertrd.9342]

I have been using a compressor for everything for years..... Time to rethink when to and when not to use a compressor.

[@liambrady5713]

please do a articulation video

[@alexfithero]

I started playing bass a year ago. I wanna be able to play u take lessons. Will I learn a lot from your lessons?

[@jimhughes1070]

alexfithero unbelievable amount of information at his site. Easy to get around to all of it. Great teachers. From beginner to master. Get in there brother

[@jimhughes1070]

Thanks Scott you're the man

[@joseedilson-h1r]

Scott forgive my ignorance, but I have a curiosity; because you use gloves to touch the bass ???

[@martinwikstrom8930]

How do you speel that guy's name you got those lines from?

[@thatdrummingmuppet]

It's speeled Skuli Sverrisson! I know after many failed google searches...

[@kickbiker7920]

I think what you say is just as valuable as actually playing the examples. By now you're quite comfortable on camera and are well able to verbalise at the same time as your playing ... if that makes sense!?

[@markgodleman1549]

what type of bridge is that?

[@jameschandler_]

Not bad for iMac quality hey

[@sovietcomrade4970]

can I have a private lesson with you Scott?

[@phil-rosslewis9864]

what is the best scale to solo with?

[@Drum4DMC]

+Philross Lewis Depends on what feel you want. If you want a happy feel play a major scale, and vice versa. Try out some and see what you like the most.

[@pswright2285]

Did you mean plicking hand? 😉

[@mickkennedy1344]

QUIET! -- loud -- QUIET! -- loud --- QUIET!!!

[@gono6]

Tabs for this lesson please?

[@dalcon555]

Scott. can you adopt me?

[@devinebass]

+David Buck Yes! :P

[@sid9239]

Me too please.. 🙄

[@tuxedo0730]

あの？前から聞きたかったのですが？ 左手の手袋？グローブ？には 何かしらの意味があるのでしょうか？ 教えて下さい。 何かしらの左手のハンディのせい？ とかでしたらお詫びもいたします。

[@nicolasramirez3944]

so ... no compressor?

[@brettmarlar4154]

I'm actually quite curious as to why you wear the gloves? I personally, can't get my feel right with somethung between my flesh and the strings.
