Lessons 6 -- 10
Learning the basics of the Music Language and applying them on Instrument in a way to develop your Technique.
Sharing knowledge and experience with other musicians is a great way to improve and stay motivated, but it's essential to communicate in a way that other musicians understand.
In this series you'll quickly learn the basics of the musical language to give you the knowledge and confidence of associating frets with actual musical notes. Along the way you'll also be introduced to some exercises to further challenge and develop your technique and set you on your way to mastering the instrument.
Please don't think that these early lessons are just for the beginner, as Richie shares a wealth of information, advice and some concepts that can help even the seasoned player!

RED DOT FINGERING IS THE BEST IDEA YET. OTHER INSTRUCTORS SEEM TO THINK ITS EASY TO FOLLOW THEIR FINGERING BUT AT TIMES YOU CAN'T TELL WHICH FINGERS ARE TOUCHING WHAT. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOUR VIDEOS BECAUSE I LOVE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN THINGS AND REPEAT THINGS SO THEY SINK IN. SO THANKS AGAIN FOR THE GREAT LESSONS.

[@thomasflaherty5509]

GOOD POINT BUT DID YOU NEED ALL CAPS?

[@Shamanmanwow]

MAYBE HE IS 50~ YEARS OLD. MOST OLD PEOPLE TYPE IN caps lock.

[@MusicCollegeTV]

THANKS! Thanks!

[@mrsweetkandy7673]

I AGREE. WHEN I SAW THIS I FELL IN LOVE. NOT ONLY DO THEY TAKE THINGS GROM THE BASE AND DO IT SLOWLY, BUT ON TOP OF THAT THEY ADD THESE RED DOTS WITH MAKES IT SO DAMN CLEAR AND FRIENDLY. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH WHY NOBODY ELSE DOES THAT

[@rorschach7752]

@@mrsweetkandy7673 EXACTLY. IN SOME VIDEOS i CAN'T SEE WHICH DAMN FINGER IS PRESSING WHAT CUZ THEY HAVE ALL FOUR FINGERS SITTING ON THE STRINGS

[@larrydrum]

Great video! He is actually teaching instead of using the forum as a head trip to show off.

[@psychoof78]

So true! So many videos are like “here’s the only 3 scales you need to know to play everything, now try this Les Claypool bass line”

[@mamesushi136]

Man, I can't stress this enough: you are the very best bass teacher on this website, and your lessons really are helping me in a time where I am not able to afford music classes. It is all amazing to me, how you explain everything thoroughly, the video editing being on point, and how it all makes sense to me. Thank you so much for these lessons, you are an inspiration to me.

[@lukmanadila6543]

yea, your videos are very helpful, thanks a millon!

[@419rule]

Hello Richie. I'm 58 years old, and just bought my first bass a few weeks ago. Coming to the instrument rather late, I know! I want to thank you for your excellent instructional videos. I've watched your first 10 beginner lessons, and they have helped me enormously. I really appreciate the effort you make to explain the many small nuances of playing that others don't bother with. For a beginner, that makes all the difference in the world. I come away from your lessons feeling "Yeah, lets DO this!", rather than "what was that he was doing ... what did he mean by...". Your lessons make me WANT to practice, to develop the skills so I can see what's next. And, by the way, where can I watch some videos or hear some recordings of YOU playing in a group setting? Thanks again for all your help.

[@chessdude67]

I'm 57 and just bought my first Bass! Maybe we can chat about starting bass at this age. Peace!

AT LAST SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO TEACH!

[@Khoirul_Anam2]

Narrated Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari: that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection."

My sentiments so clear you can actually see what note and finger is being used best tutorial I’ve seen for a beginner Rastafari

[@volikoto]

Hard to believe this tutorial is free. Thank you so much.

[@MrTennisgolf]

Hi. I’m 72 years old and started messing around with the bass guitar about six years ago. I have short little fingers compared to every bassist I have seen so far and was lazy about trying to learn to use it. I had surgery on my right wrist and elbow in 2019 and am just getting back to playing. I decided to do it right this time. I got my 5 string bass set up properly and started looking on KZbin for how to play scales. Your video on the C scale was the best beginner video I found. Thanks for getting me started properly. I’m looking forward to more.

[@MusicCollegeTV]

Hey Raymond, thank you for getting in touch and all power to you and your determination to continue learning. Bill Wyman, the original Rolling Stones bass player has small hands, you're in good company. Very best wishes 😎

[@tmkprojects4153]

Hi Sir, You are the best BASS guitar teacher ever seen on KZbin. Number One Bass Guitar training video on KZbin. You are calm too, you don’t rush. You care about the pace and learning tempo of your learners and students. You also teach with real life applications on screen and make it better understandable to a dummy. Also thanks for the positive attitude to make us aware that we can do it. Best KZbin Guitar Channel ever, teaching us one video at a time. Thanks so much for the memory pegs and onscreen assistance with the red dots. You are the only teacher on KZbin who understands that learners cannot follow the finger of the teacher without some kind of marker. Wise indeed! Keep it up Sir! You have my vote!

[@samking9000]

I’m 68 years old and have never played any string instrument. I am believing that you CAN teach old dogs new tricks. I got a bass and am learning. The red dots help tremendously! It’s physically difficult to move my fingers when fretting the notes, and I end up sliding around more using the fingers that work, but by His stripes I am healed!

[@albinkr8190]

great teaching,, i have always tried to learn guitar and you really unlocked the secrets to me,.. thanks a lot

[@giannieditsvideos]

Thank you so very much. I found this very easy to follow and learn, probably thanks to your nice explanation

[@minecr4ft1z]

Wow, I've been playing bass for a few years now just casually (remembering songs, reading tabs) etc, but now I'm getting into like actual playing and theory and stuff, I thought that it would be quite daunting, but you've been making it easier on me. Thank you! It's been helpful. You're a godsend.

[@rommeljohngarcia9231]

You're the best teacher brother I love the way you do it more power to you God bless you!

[@TitanicPuffin]

This is not one but THE MOST helpful video concerning the scales for real beginners, in the whole platform of KZbin that I have found through out my search this channel is great and knows how to make things clear and very teach full.

[@robertmafa]

I actually pay attention to these videos. They go straight into valuable lessons. Retaking my Bass lessons here. Beginning level.

[@MystiqWisdom]

I think this is my favourite bass learning channel. He speaks of the theory of learning and emphasizes slow and deliberate practice. Bass Buzz is all right, but is less fleshed out and structured. No surprise this guy's English too, very formal but without the sternness. I've checked out all the other bass channels that you get as well when searching for lessons.

[@danieldecarvalho7357]

congrats, amazing teacher.

[@MrNathan791]

Thanks for the lesson. After so many years from trying to learn playing the bass, I just can’t let it go. It’s in my blood. I REALLY WANT TO LEARN how to play the bass guitar. It’s the sexiest instrument ever:)
