oooo. bass lesson. NICE. every guitar player should know how to play bass. and it's not just a guitar with a 4 strings. VERY DIFFERENT APPROACH. Very different instrument.

[@amarguitar]

Well said, Mr. Petti, I couldn’t have put it better. Learning bass is not only fun if you play music you love, but it will make you a better guitar player as well

[@masonk9838]

Couldn't agree more. I would also say every bassist should know how to play guitar, being able to recognize chords on sight is extremely helpful, and learning to think like a guitarist helps you to play basslines that support and contrast with a guitarist.

Weekapaug groove would be awesome!

[@edgarduchesneau2725]

Yes!!!!

[@gijoey5912]

This one is difficult enough for me. haha

[@JonathanBetke]

Yes please breakdown Weekapaug!

[@ToddWCorey1]

Good stuff, man! You super-simplify and then take steps up. A+

[@eym787]

great work! more basics slaps and slow with tabs

[@amarguitar]

Hey Emmanuel, thanks for watching. Can you tell me more about what basics you’d like to see?

[@werewolf1978]

This was a great lesson! Thank you for the clarity, conciseness, and patience. More please!

[@joshschultz377]

This is amazing! Thank you for explaining the rhythm and walking us through all the variations

[@mikedots9544]

This is awesome thanks

[@CNick75]

What? No Reprise?

[@NotRightMusic]

Stuck in Saipan with shoddy internet. Giving up watching this after numerous attempts. Will watch when back in Japan. Loving the idea though!

[@amarguitar]

Safe travels my brother

[@NotRightMusic]

But safe is no fun :)

[@amarguitar]

Spoken like a true world traveler! I almost died in India a few times. And once in Barcelona. And then a couple times in Paris...

[@NotRightMusic]

amarguitar Traveling is the best! First comes music, then comes travel!

[@paolorinaldi8850]

Well done man!

[@johnathany21]

Please more phish on the bass

[@joshsinclair1796]

You’re just the man! Endless thanks

[@amarguitar]

Thank you for watching!

[@gijoey5912]

Thanks a bunch, man! Would love to get a bass lesson on some groove-based jams, like 7/24/99 Fluffhead, or 11/22/97 Tweezer, or anything else you can think of.

[@amarguitar]

Thanks for the ideas, Joey!

[@robertozariskeeni1875]

Hey man, Love the video... Just a suggestion though, throughout this entire tutorial i **reeally** wanted to hear what these licks sounded like "in context" with the rest of the Music so i could hear where/how they fit in exactly... Just a thought, great job though, keep rockin'! :)

[@JGSandman38]

Me too! It was a crazy good lesson but I’m getting a bit lost on where each section falls within the music

[@brendantimmons5415]

the bend tap is breaking my fingers haha

[@KR-fc5eh]

Phenomenal video

[@yc1788]

Thank you so much for this! Would love more bass lesson videos. Do you have any advise on getting the 7 - 0 and 5 - 0 pulloffs to have the second note (i.e. the D and G) to be audible?

[@amarguitar]

Hey Yoni, when you do the pull offs on those open strings, it helps to pull downwards and off rather than just pulling off. When you pull off downwards, you get more momentum and the open string will sound out much more clearly

[@yc1788]

Thanks!

[@davemoravec2092]

@@amarguitar THE DOWNWARD PULLOFF WORKS! Thank you!!!

[@djdberg1212]

Awesome lesson man. Id love one on tube my fave song! See u at curveball

[@TheWarriorSage1357]

Sweet content! You need more views and subscribers.

[@TheGasMoney]

Is there a guitar improv lesson for tweezer too?

[@adammccall]

can you teach weekapaug groove?

[@FunnyBecauseItsTrue]

...decent lesson! Need one more string to do Cactus justice, tho...

[@amarguitar]

Why’s that? He never really uses the low B string when playing his parts in Tweezer

[@justinnardine8564]

YEM next

[@fives.]

I Tweezered so hard I came here

[@fubusmaximus]

Hey, please put a 20hz 12db/oct High pass filter on your audio before you upload. You've got weird clunks in the audio that is driving my sub crazy trying to reproduce
