Become a Ghost Note Pro: 7 Killer Bass Exercises

[@craigverner3866]

Wonderful exercise Dan, thank you❤

[@SSD5string]

Dan Hawkins was born to be a great teacher. I'm glad he chose bass at some point because I wouldn't know half of what I know now.

[@vinsharrelson2246]

Rocco Prestia was truly the master of ghost notes!: I am certain Jaco built upon the foundation that Rocco grooved on for ages! This is a great lesson for those who are just getting into bass! Well done!

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thank you! Yes, Rocco was the master in all things bass. A truly great player.

I´m doing your beginner course and I must say you're such a great teacher and communicator. The way you explain makes it look easy even when it's not. This extra videos are an excellent complement to the course. Thank you!

[@OnlineBassCourses]

[@lorenzojtorres]

Thank you Dan. You’re the BEST teacher!

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thank you!! 🙏

[@SwashBuccaneer]

This is a lesson I needed badly. For some reason, I have struggled so hard with ghost notes. No clue why.

[@OnlineBassCourses]

They’re not easy that’s for sure. It takes time to get it down.

[@jdmarino]

This was a very timely video. I'm learning the Sultans of Swing, and this is my first song with really noticeable ghost notes.

[@BenD_Bass]

I love ghost notes. I just discovered that raking ghost note triplet thing, and I use it way too often

[@TheBlastoceros]

From Mar del Plata, Argentina. Your videos are the best. Thanks!

Thanks!

[@vangelis.gavalakis]

Great video as always. Your tone is also fantastic. May I ask if the recordings are directly from the bass, or do you use something in-between (for tone I mean :) ). Cheers!

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thanks! Direct. If you search ‘signal chain’ on my channel you’ll find what I use.

[@eric.donyoh]

Thanks again Dan, truely great stuff. Currently waiting for USD/JPY to be somewhat reasonable so I can sign up to your basic bass lessons, it's time for me to progress.

[@Followmeoutdoors]

Just took advantage of your recent Summer special discount and signed up for the beginner to bassist course, the discount made all the difference, thanks!

[@lesexplorateurs2052]

Thanks!

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thank you!

[@chinemeremjoseph633]

I'm a beginner and don't just know what to do to play like you do one day !! Please I need your help 🙏

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Play a lot! I’ve been playing a lot of bass over the last 32 years so my advice is to be prepared to put in the time, work hard, take it seriously, learn your craft, and play a lot. Don’t aim to play like me. Find your own voice. How? Play a lot…You will find many lessons on my channel and website.

[@chinemeremjoseph633]

[@mnkrantz]

Hi Dan. Looks like you have rounds on your MM. Is that correct?

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Yes. Elites Players 45-105.

[@BrianLannoye]

That's what I need to work on. Ghost notes when I'm plucking with fingers

[@Nakelp86]

Great, but cant wait for some good lesson on harmonics

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Coming soon!

[@christianfoster3806]

I'm a recovering ghost note addict. There's something to be said for playing nothing but clear, distinct, unambiguous notes. I still use them, just less often and more deliberately.

[@OnlineBassCourses]

That's called taste (and wisdom). 👊

[@jonklang4691]

Awesome thanks!
