I've played piano for 7 years and I'm getting bored. And since I'm already a sucker for a good bassline I think this would be awesome. Although anything with strings intimidates me.

[@PameSilveiraMusic]

Don't be, there's not reason to be, I've playing guittar since I was 15, and I learn to lose my demonds about the strings, without any warning you will be happy to learn but you need to practice every single day, and you also play the piano so is waaay too easy for you even, cuz your fingers are already prepare :)

[@ajfrank7295]

Well a piano has strings

[@xBioSaturn]

Hilarious considering a piano is a string instrument 😂

[@clownworldhereticmyron1018]

@@xBioSaturn Yes, technically, it is. However, playing keys is a very different sensation from fingering a neckline and and bowing/plucking strings to produce sound. Nobody likes a smartass.

[@UFOBobTV]

Even though I have been playing for several years, I plan to watch all your bass lessons starting with this one. I am certain to learn new things as I do and fill in the missing pieces of my bass playing knowledge. Your lessons are clear, concise, and easy to follow. I like that. Thanks.

[@Di-Ferr]

This is great. I don't have a bass but i'm getting an Ibanez starter pack for Christmas. It really helps to know the basic parts right now though.

[@NatRussoAuthor]

I'm a complete beginner with the bass, and I'm really enjoying your content! I have about 12 years to go before I retire from the day job and would love to have acquired a bit of mastery by then!

[@rayrhodes2042]

your style and explanation of the subjects (in all the videos) is perfect - you have cleared up lots of confusion for me - you have become my on-line teacher -I am not trying to learn to look cool or become a rock god - but I want to learn to play with a well thought out foundation Thank you for putting together a fabulous set of videos

[@danielhower5950]

brilliant explanations. Also great for non-native speakers, because of the clear language and because you point to what you mean. simply excellent!

Thanks Richie, hopefully not over my head but wanting to learn bass at 55, never played an instrument before but love music

[@TiffAmberita777]

Very helpful, I have just picked up a 5-string bass guitar today and am now starting my journey on learning this fine instrument, very excited for the road ahead, and the doors that will be opened for me upon ability to play a musical instrument. Music is a true blessing on this earth, and I aspire to use my musical ability once it is established to serve in the ministry, good luck to everyone else beginning their music journey today and God bless everyone.

Well done for taking the 1st step Tiffany - Here's to a long a fruitful journey!

My mom just bought me an early Christmas present today. She got me a Deans09 34" 4-string bass guitar. She knows how obsessed I am with Flea, Les Claypool, and Matt Freeman and how Ive always wanted one. I'm so excited because I'm 15 and Flea and Les didn't learn how to play until they were 16.

I'm trying to learn because mainly because of flea too. You should check out his flea bass tutorial it's very helpful.

joe mama Oh believe me, I've watched it almost half a dozen times. Its great!

[@DoTheDaringDew]

+EPL Hey man, more power to you! Feed off of that initial excitement and keep on playing and practicing! The bass is an awesome instrument, one I'm still trying to figure out myself. Here's to hoping that one day you'll rock the bass so well that Geddy Lee raises an eyebrow! Cheers!

[@metalmoshingmad777]

Don't get me wrong here, this guy is a bass teaching wizard... But people need to realize that most bass beginners start off with a 4 string bass, not a 5 string bass. So teaching with 5 string will only confuse them.

[@acablikeineedataxi]

he changes to 4 strings in the later videos when he actually starts teaching you how to play and not just describing the guitar

[@metalmoshingmad777]

thanks man i appreciate it!.

[@leslieneal773]

[@user-io3ci7rb8s]

I was wondering.. did you learned bass through him, or somewhere else?

[@XiaoSunJing]

@@user-io3ci7rb8s halo, actually i learned the basics from him, you know the strings tunes this and that. but the best way to learn an instrument faster (for me) is to play advanced. like play songs, i have learned various of songs from tutorials from youtube, i don't really know the chords so i just familiarize myself with the number tabs XDD and when i watch people play bass, i imitate their hand gestures, watch which string they're pressing and plucking. i learned bass after a week that month, you could too. but it could be different for you. Good luck! ❤️(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧
