From a Dead Head guitarist's perspective this is awesome. Unlike most guitarists, I've only played the bass for a total of about 10-15 minutes in 35 years. I finally bought a bass rig, but it's only so that my studio is equipped for my fellow players. There are not many bass lessons compared to guitar on You Tube. Especially for the Dead. Now I may pick up the bass more often. Thank you.

Cheers mate! Ya I love diving into this material.. has such a place in my heart🙏 I'm glad you got something out of my content.. Thanks for reaching out 🤙

[@andrewm4141]

Awesome video, Phil is such a complex player it’s always nice to hear more videos breaking down his technique

[@Bass_Geek]

Hey thanks man! Ya I've got more to come! Any requests?

[@andrewm4141]

Dancin in the streets, I love the bass playing 6/9/1976 Phil opens up the song with this crazy line going up the neck and the whole things very groovy

[@FatCityComix209]

I love that you used the studio recording for reference. It's my favorite version of this song. I'm working on it now. Let's jam it in 2024 😁

[@Bass_Geek]

Your the man Stan! I can't wait!!!🤙🤙🤙

[@karlaandthephatcats6051]

Thank you so much for breaking it down so simply and giving me start with it . Great job bro!

[@Bass_Geek]

So glad I was able to help! I've got lots more coming! 🤙😎🙏

[@Tallglassofsoymilk]

This is awesome. Im pretty much just learning how to go from playing to jamming and the way you said "I don't know that much music theory" made me breath a sigh of relief. Keep up the great work, i love the note pad and you taking the minute to even break down things like the F dorian and "box scale" were really helpful! Thank you!

[@Bass_Geek]

Anytime my friend! So glad I could help 🙏 And yes I know almost no music theory.. Don't worry! Learn how to play the tune any way you can.. Your understanding of it will come later.. For me it was 20 years later!!! Keep going! Your doing just fine 😁

[@thefieldpiece]

Thanks for diving into a Lesh line! Well taught 👏

[@Bass_Geek]

[@TheRunawayGrooms]

Super insightful man. Appreciate the videos and thoroughly enjoy your style.

[@Bass_Geek]

Thanks for the kind words! I'm just getting started.. Much more to come! Any requests??

[@Jeff-S]

@@Bass_Geek Yes, Eyes of the world is bass solo city. Listen to the live One From the Vault after the studio version. That is very bass solo-centric at the beginning and end. Also Cryptical Envelopment especially the into Phil Bomb. Maybe Phil bombs in general too. Thanks

[@morganvincent9180]

Just what I needed. I play this on guitar but this friday I will be playing it on bass at a gig. And boy you just cut my study time way way down. Thank you thank you! Subscribed... Love your communication style too!

[@Bass_Geek]

Man.. you just made my day! I'm just getting started making videos.. So glad I could help! 🙏

[@morganvincent9180]

[@Bass_Geek]

@@morganvincent9180 Fantastic! Let me know if you need help with any other tunes! ✌️

[@Jeff-S]

That whole diminished section is all diminished chords underneath as well.

[@dj6554]

Thank you.

[@Bass_Geek]

Your welcome! I hope I was able to help get you a little further down the road 🤙

[@scottthomas6249]

Could anyone help with the notation instead of the tab? Would the single notes be available instead of the numbers? I've just always learned by the notation: F#-A-C-Eb, etc? My band has zeroed in on playing the Without A Net version. Thank you!

[@Bass_Geek]

Sure man! Let me see what I can do ✌️

[@Bass_Geek]

Is there a particular part you need help with?

[@scottthomas6249]

​@Bass_Geek thank you so much! From like the 19:00 mark on, if you can. The rest of the video is so helpful and easy to follow!

[@Bass_Geek]

Ya that's where it starts to get a little tricky.. I'm a little busy at the moment.. give me a couple days and I'll get you squared away 👍

[@scottthomas6249]

@Bass_Geek thanks very much. Those quarter notes leading up to the A jam and from then on is definitely the trickiest part.

[@MichaelHoward-ly1mp]

wow what happend to your elbow

[@Bass_Geek]

I went down while riding my bike.. but I had to record the video while everything was still fresh in my mind! 😁

[@stevensingleton5179]

[@stevensingleton5179]

[@Bass_Geek]

Thanks buddy.. I've always struggled with the differences between everything.. Meanwhile I just keep playing! 🙌 Thanks for subscribing.. Hope to have some new content up soon 🤙

[@hugeherb]

Can you just put the damn tab up please im dying

[@Bass_Geek]

Ha! I will try and get you something.. I'm new to producing content.. were you not able to follow along in the video?

[@hugeherb]

@@Bass_Geekim sorry your really good im just slow and can only learn shit from reading tab

[@Bass_Geek]

I'll see if I can get something for you made up.. I'm just getting started creating content.. is there a particular part you need help with?

[@dawsonlamasbass]

@@hugeherb do not rely on tabs, it will only hinder you. listen and learn with your ears and fingers.
