Jims teaching walking jazz bass is superb

[@hitman449]

“Hello Professor” Glad to see that you’re sharing your knowledge outside of Berklee If you really want to learn your instrument then this is the place to start: Jim Stinnett is one of those excellent professors who knows his craft and can show you how to apply yourself with the basics and true fundamentals that you’ll need to become a better musician instead of a bass player. The professor mentions build up the foundations with those fundamentals first like an iceberg which is true lay down the foundation first; when you use quality repetition steps you’ll progress quicker and become more familiar with your instrument so practice these essentials exercises and most important have fun while you do so.

+HIT MAN thanks for the kind words. :)

[@stuart8663]

Thank you Sir for being real, for sharing the bass simply, gently and not at any time arrogantly towards we beginners.

[@realbasslessons9356]

Stu, you are welcome. I love beginners. :)

Thank you for this video. I completely relate to your friend you mentioned. I once tried to jam with jazz musicians. I felt like I might as well be dropped off in China and told to speak to the native population! This gives me hope.

[@realbasslessons9356]

+Johnny Flores You are welcome. I recommend you get the book, "Jazz Bass Walking," and work it, over, and over, and over, ...

[@realbasslessons9356]

Use you ears to memorize the quarter note line - Roots only at this point. We will build upon this foundation.

I think i finally found my teacher! I too play by ear.

[@MatteoRosati]

Jim your lessons are so valuable i can't tell you how much i appreciate your work. i have been "playing" for years now and by following your lessons from the very first one i am realising how many fundamentals i was missing. THANK YOU and cheers from Italy :)

[@realbasslessons9356]

You are welcome Matteo. Yes, many folks were not schooled in the fundamentals. Glad you are into it now. Keep practicing. :)

[@gregnicholson6389]

Wow i am in awe over how easily you just explained how to walk. I learned more watching you than i have with anyone else. The name says it all "real bass lessons"

[@realbasslessons9356]

[@leocrossfield]

Great lesson - just bought your book. I am a guitarist and need to understand this stuff.

thanks

[@senhorspock]

I have a Squier Classic Vibe 60's P-Bass in fiesta red as well... It's a wonderful bass!! The only change I did in mine was the pickup: I put Seymour Duncan's Steve Harris Signature. Great pickup!! Did you keep the original ones? By the way: great lessons. I'm enjoying each and every one of them. Thanks!

[@realbasslessons9356]

Thanks. In all my Squier basses I have replaced the stock pickups with Nordstrand, vintage ones.
