You're right - always fun! :). Great way to get into improvising too... :) Cheers for the competition entry, Ahmet. Scott.

#12barbass. Hey Scott I took up the bass 3 years ago and through the local music shop found myself introduced to a local blues band that we’re looking for a bass player. I had no experience but they liked me and patiently waited for my skills to improve until we eventually gigged. Terrifying experience for me but it didn’t kill me. Absolutely love the experience and the learning of the blues. My favourite song we play is Stormy Monday in the style of Allman Bros with Berry Oakley on bass. Cheers mate my blues bass story continues. Love your channel. Rod

[@ScottWhitley]

Thanks for that, Rod - great story there and love how much you're enjoying the journey. That's the 2nd comment mentioning Allman Bros btw! Stormy Monday - great tune to play!! Thanks again - glad you're enjoying the channel,. Rod. Scott.

#12barbass. I play bass in a cover blues band. one of my fav bassline is Someday after a while (joe Bonamassa version). I consider myself as a débutant, even if I began to play bass 30 years ago. this kind of video tells me I know some tricks and makes me discover new ones. So I thank you (ZZ Top version) Scott!

[@ScottWhitley]

Thanks Alain - great feedback!

[@jefffreeman7695]

Cheers, Jeff - my pleasure!!

[@ScottWhitley]

That's brilliant - nice 1!! Hope you're well btw. Cheers for the competition entry too ^^^ ! :)

[@peterhammond4570]

#12barbass i don’t currently play any blues but have done many times in the past. A favourite of mine to play is “lawdy miss claudy”, but back in the 80’s i used to go to local jam nights and played with some great blues guitarists including Del Bromham (stray) and a lot of other good local players too

[@ScottWhitley]

That's a cracking track - played that a bunch myself too. Yeah - I miss a good jam.

[@SkinnyMC68]

Love this, you explain it really well. #12barbass

[@ScottWhitley]

Thank you - much appreciated!!

[@peterhammond4570]

What is that p bass you’re playing there @scott

[@ScottWhitley]

It's a Richwood with a Seymour Duncan vintage pickup. Really cheap but nice copy. I have Thomastik flats on it.

[@jeffgreenberg1790]

#piccolobass Thanks for getting started. I've restrung a 34" scale but will probably get a 30" at your suugestion.

[@lloydblake5471]

Good tutorial Scott I'll try and use some of these patterns in my blues playing #12BarBass

[@ScottWhitley]

Thanks Lloyd - much appreciated! Thanks for the draw entry too. Scott.

[@debuysio2807]

Nice lesson Scott, good build-up in difficulty ( is this propper english?)

[@ScottWhitley]

Thanks, debuysio - much appreciated! Yes, great English :)

[@carolinepierard1985]

Hello, thank you very much for the patterns. I am a beginner and it is very useful. I just cannot see rhe free pdf?! The website doesn't exist anymore...how can i get the pdf please? Txs

[@WizardOfArc]

#12barbass I used these type of tips to play Allman Brothers Statesboro blues

[@ScottWhitley]

Cool! Allman Brothers - ace!

[@WizardOfArc]

@@ScottWhitley in a cover group…. I wasn’t in the actual band 😮

[@ScottWhitley]

No - thought that! I just meant that playing their stuff is ace. :)

[@WizardOfArc]

@@ScottWhitley thanks 😸

[@ScottWhitley]

👍👍

[@samstinkeringaround8961]

what would be cool , a pdf of the opening video on this lesson :)

[@timregan1333]

Best lesonsi've seen.....is there any way we can get a better view of which fingers you are using in the explanations. maybe the camera over the fretboard? good stuff.

[@ScottWhitley]

Hi Tim, glad you enjoyed it! I can't do anything about this video unfortunately but, since that video, I've started using tighter and multi camera angles. Regards, Scott.

[@samstinkeringaround8961]

Scott the pdf file for the patterns has no hyperlink to down load

[@ScottWhitley]

Hey Samuel. So you can get to the PDF but not download it, or do you not see it at all. If you're still struggling send me an email on [e-mail] and I'll be able to send it directly to you. :)

[@samstinkeringaround8961]

I do not see it at all , I looked under lesson library. a lot of blues pdf's. Nothing about this lesson called 5 easy 12 bar bass patterns

[@mssqlguy]

12 bar is traditionally a warm up jam format at band practice for us before getting stuck into the session. #12BarBass

[@ScottWhitley]

Can't fault a good ole jam over a 12 bar!! :)
