How To Improvise A Bass Solo! - Beginners Guide

[@michaelb.42112]

You have the best bass channel, in my opinion, Mark. Thanks for all your help.

[@lesc7219]

Wao, your explanation provided a clear way to understand what is happening in the progression. What I previously though as difficult and time consuming, now clear, attainable, and easier to program the brain for all key tones.

[@RockNRolisss]

When the guitarist points at you, just point back.

[@paulinaharatka91]

Brilliant 😆

[@nofrets5]

This approach of tearing into all aspects of a song is really something else, invaluable for those who may be unsure or foggy about....how it ALL comes together. Wonderful set of lessons, Mark.

[@scottarvizu9720]

An amazing amount of instruction for free! Love it. Thanks

[@BassStevie]

Great lesson. There’s literally months of practice work right here.

[@gideonjudah2792]

[@stumanion3213]

This is awesome Mark! Finally, a clear explanation on HOW to start a beginners path to improvisation-Bravo! Thanks man!

[@StevenDoyleLuke]

Absolutely love this method of breaking down all aspects of a song . . . invaluable, thanks Mark. I know how much work it takes for you to do this . . . .

[@Steviec63]

Superb lesson. I've bought a ton of bass books and I really feel that I shouldn't go near any of them until I can do this comfortably - and I've been playing 40 years! I'm also trying to sing the notes before I play them. Hard finding those 7ths first! Keep singing 3rds!

Thanks for the lesson Mark. This series is absolute gold dust. Do you summarise other jazz standards in a similar way in your premium courses?

[@papykalonjimusangu9857]

Talking Tom you are the best

[@tzahim441]

Tnx Mark!!!

[@Jayswindows1264]

Class...

[@XanderSacay]

Can we also call those notes before the chord notes as grace notes? Thanks for this lesson I learned a lot

[@talkingbasslessons]

No. Grace notes are rhythmically different and can be any note (within reason). It’s all about the rhythm.

[@nacholibre1030]

thank you

[@bassistR61]

Thx again....

[@joannmannello9158]

[@asansone57]

[@ardiwinatah]

Never gets old... i know Mark is vampire....

[@jimmay4653]

Hi Mark, huge bass fan just about to buy my first bass and actually start learning to play instead of only listening to others. Any buying advice for a complete noob?

[@MikeC-bc4xp]

I've got some advice for ya! You don't need a super fancy expensive bass to start with. My first bass was this cheap $200 Washburn and I loved it and grew on to better, more expensive basses from there. Just go to a guitar shop. look at some price ranges, play some basses and pick one that feels most comfortable to you that's in your price range!

As the great Victor Wooten says 'MUSIC IS A LANGUAGE '

[@harrythoman9176]

Can we get the arpeggios pictured in this video?

[@talkingbasslessons]

Have you watched the previous lessons over last month. The harmony breakdown works through them all

[@harrythoman9176]

@@talkingbasslessons yes with great interest Mark! Just don't have the arpeggios as written in the video. No worries, can get them from the video or other workbook you've published. Good stuff btw, thanks!

[@darrellhughes4966]

I want to be able to solo

[@gitita1]

Great lesson but the tempo is just a little bit too fast for learning...

[@unfunnydave5485]

Honestly the best tip for people to learn how to solo on bass is to literally just play guitar. If you learn guitar, you know the chords better than in just bass and it’s really easy to fret compared to bass. Then you take what you know and improvise around those chords.

[@bjornhannsen1566]

Bossa nova bass

[@maks886]

Just play "the lick" haha

[@talkingbasslessons]

Well there is that solution!

[@funkstermak]

Is it true the bass player always gets the girl ?

[@schmuckytheraiderbear5043]

For Beginners!!? 😂😂

[@talkingbasslessons]

Beginners to soloing

[@georgyj111111]

Maybe beginners should not play solo......

[@talkingbasslessons]

It means beginners to soloing

[@bob6230]

I'm not this far along on my journey yet but it is reassuring to know the series is there waiting when i do.
