A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his KZbin channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

Doesn't matter how you dress, you get all the respect in the world if you can pull off one good groove! I would love more Bass content!

My dad was a jazz bassist back in the 60's. He lived in D.C then moved to the burbs when they had me. I use to hear story after story of how he would be the only white guy in the club playing. I remember being real young & the band fighting about which instrument I would play when I grew up. I just decided to play them all, except horns, it sounds like a duck gang... well fight hahaha when trying. He passed in 2001, but I still have his upright, haven't ever tried to play it though, I'm sure it would need a lot of work... Stay safe, hope all is well. take it easy.

As i am immersing myself in your back log. I love how you tie back to fundamentala with out dragging it out. In this video you did this when you should the 5tb is tied to Major scale. Said it. Modeled it. Moved on . So good 😊

Quality as always Shaun mate

[@GregSB1]

Great lesson! And I would tell everyone to note Sean's right hand position. Much less stress placed on the wrist the way Sean does it.

[@Paulman50]

Brilliant, I'll have a play with that for a while. Thanks.

[@seandaniel23]

Rock it out man!

[@handler803]

More lessons like this in different time signatures please 🙏😊

[@TheFeelButton]

Thanks for this Sean! I got a bass hanging right next to me that I need to get a lot more comfortable with. Cheers!! 👍☺️✌️

[@fudgesauce]

Sean, the name for what you were calling the "muted note" or "percussive note" is usually called a "dead note" or a "ghost note". And yes, you can easily generate unintended harmonics if your muting technique is bad; usually people will rest two or even all four fingers on the string to prevent that from happening.

[@antonycarey305]

Ok, cool. Cheers bro...

[@judosailor]

Ah,I recognized my favorite Sean Daniel song there, Overcast!

Its hard to follow which frets you are playing. Is there a tab for this?

[@guidobrunellijr.3]

Now I want a bass

[@gnahtrheel6244]

Can you please make a compilation video of your lead-in comments? When I'm not... Nothing says... It's the best.

More bass videos

[@Catteries]

Hi Sean. When I retired at 61 four years ago I decided I want to learn guitar now I have the time to learn. Bought a second hand Acoustic guitar and learnt 9 Chords on the first 3 frets so I could play a few songs. Two years ago I bought a cheap electric guitar and still trying to work out how to play those same 9 chords higher up the neck. ( not doing too good at that ) Last year I bought a Bass guitar which I absolutely love. This video has been very good for my learning curve and I really enjoyed it. So, here is a question. Can you play 3 notes per string on a Bass guitar. ???

[@JonathanBjornson]

Triangle lesson? SammyG?

[@greg7656]

sweeeeet 😍💋

[@pfgpowell]

Hi Sean, as one of my four go-to guitar tutors on KZbin, I was wondering whether you are in a band and whether there is any accessible footage, here on KZbin or elsewhere, playing live. I also subscribe to Jens Larsen and there is footage of him playing live (and have to say that my main interest these days is jazz, though to be frank I like all guitar playing (even sodding folk music - it's the ethos I'm not too keen on). All the best, Patrick (Tony Other is just the Gmail name for a Gmail address to stop getting LOADs of spam).

[@ronlight7013]

Hold on! Sean, are you wearing jeans?!!!

[@greenwave792]

Jazz sucks, I'm trying to get on your haters list...........is it working?

[@Project_2501]

When I learned one thing from grovin on the bass, then it is DON'T count - rather feel the rythm. Move your head and shoulders and really feel the kick drum and the snare and once you found yourself grovin to the beat it magically comes right out of your hands on the bass. Especially when you're a beginner, don't confuse yourself too much into beats, rythms and theory (even though that is important) but the greatest grove beasts of history often don't even know anything about beat or theory at all. Just have fun and don't try to "over-snob" things just because some elitarian theory geeks tell you to. No offense to anybody except for the music nazis among you.

[@williampeckham9838]

Thats cheating if you use a rickenbacker lol
