Strumming Chords On Bass (Stanley Clarke, Les Claypool, Victor Wooten etc)

[@franklogrande9126]

I don't think anyone beats your lessons. Thank you!!!!

[@scottbradley6835]

Les Claypool is a true inspiration

[@radioactive.redwood]

guys just make sure you don’t absolutely destroy your fingers by hitting the cuticle area on your nails. it hurts a lot

[@panchoverde5078]

When in Rome

[@soulofcinder4222]

Too late

[@toroloco11_]

Learned that the hard way

[@alexnime3303]

That’s why I came here lol

[@ironsaint]

No pain no gain

[@georgepengo9798]

Mark, this was a fantastic lesson and I learned so much. The fluidity and quality of your lessons are just unbelievable. The little riffs you put into each exercise make learning these techniques so much fun. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@djcorneliusbingleton]

big fan of these lessons especially the way you stare into my soul after playing a baseline

[@MononcTrash]

Hey Mark, would you do a full lesson on the Tommy the Cat riff ? I'd love to finally learn how to play it :)

[@turq1824]

@Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls His stuff is pretty easy to pick up for anyone who's fairly experienced with the instrument

[@jonathanallen2560]

Oh hi mark

[@OkayJay444]

Mark thanks for all the videos I'm getting my bass today your the best all the videos showed me how to play thanks

[@stiphnoyd]

Hi Mark - Thanks a ton for all you do. Your lessons are always great. I can't even imagine how much work it must be to put all of this material together. Thanks again. Dave from Oregon.

[@Tarbashh]

I've been trying to learn Southbound Pachyderm, and the one quick 3 power chord section was fucking with me. Playing along to this I already feel that getting easier. You're the man, Mark.

[@LoveLestat]

i dont play bass ive only held one a few times but strumming the bass seemed weird to me but now ive seen someone play it and it sounds good im blown away

[@-sCruFfyb0y-]

i only started playing bass a few months ago- this was a great help!! thank you!!

[@SignoreDeiVermi]

Right at this very moment - this was excatly what I needed.. Thank you very much!

[@EC2727]

Woo! I'm so excited for this lesson! Thanks so much for all the great instruction. :D

[@rolandgharfine534]

Fantastic lesson, I immediately subscribed.

[@GMPhSyCoTiC]

Thanks for the lesson Mark first time trying strumming in general, and I was wondering if it is normal if the skin under your nail hits the stings going down because my does and it hurts. If it is normal will it begin to callus and not hurt anymore like everything else with playing the bass. Thanks Mark!

[@jwaddle102]

Two more to check out...Geddy Lee and the late, great, Peter Steele. With bass strumming, both Rush and Type O Negative had only bass and one guitar, and still laid down some serious sound.

[@SonicXRage]

Mark, I'm struggling with getting the upstroke to sound good. Are there other things I should know when doing the upstroke? I find that, even when my hand catches all of the strings on the way up, it's very hard to make it sound like when I use my nails. I'm not even sure why it works when it does. Do I need very low action? Do I just need to spend more time on it? By the way, the song I'm learning is John the Fisherman, which is mostly three-note power chords (root, 5th, octave).

[@pardosbf4623]

That’s the first I’m learning as well

[@RobertWadlow292]

Thanks a lot Mark. Another excellent lesson

[@markbass354]

Mark thank you for your help , nice video on strumming chords.

[@Thatcartoon]

Thanks for the great lesson!

[@lucianolopez5835]

Please, "You can't hold no groove" lesson!!!

[@jdssurf]

Would love to see this bass with a maple fretboard, pretty bass though.

[@TheDsX]

What bass is that? It looks gorgeous!

[@FellaFromZagreb]

It seems to be Enfield Lionheart.

[@joelpowell6939]

It's a rockenbicker

[@younghoodlum5534]

@@joelpowell6939 first off its “rickenbacker” and second, anyone with a brain can tell that isn’t a rickenbacker. Don’t state something you don’t know.

[@johnfollis2357]

Hey Mark. Thank you for this lesson. the slap riff you came up with when you were talking about your thumb not anchored sounded really sick. It was awesome. Now when I strum chords on bass, I can get the down-strokes perfectly. But when it comes to upstrokes, my fingers get caught in the strings below or in the strings I was strumming down on. So whenever that happens, it really throws my rithem off. Do you have any tips to solve this problem?

[@talkingbasslessons]

+John Follis Try moving your hand back a little so the fingers aren't going under the strings. That way your finger will graze over the strings instead of popping up from beneath.

[@johnfollis2357]

+TalkingBass - Online Bass Lessons I think that helped. I was strumming some triTones and augmented chords and it sounded very awesome. Thanks for your help in this. Now when you were talking about using knuckles for percussive accents, which hand and which knuckles were you using?

[@cgrimes72]

Great video. Hey, if anyone is interested in a great eBook that has great graphic charts on how to make chords on a bass! Here is the link: payhip.com/b/YnkD

[@davidduran1910]

Very immpressive but can you play a Guita- Oh wait this is the wrong Channel...

very original

[@nuchinodelzoologico]

Really useful, thank you!

[@pearse688]

if you like strumming check out lou barlow from Dinosuar jr

[@Cayoot]

Amazing stuff! Thanks!

[@horrorshowbass]

Great stuff as usual Mark. Any chance of a slowed down version of the fast slap riff?👍

[@zomenis]

If you're talking about the second riff he played, that's Tommy the Cat by Primus. You can always look up the original and just slow it down to half speed.

[@zomenis]

Firstname Lastname It's a really accurate cover, but it isn't correct note-for-note. Claypool changes the way he plays the main riff so many times that it's near impossible to get it 100% right.

[@killmeorikillyou1]

what's the name of the Wooten's song you played?

[@talkingbasslessons]

+Miroslav Bass you can't hold no groove if you ain't got no pocket

[@killmeorikillyou1]

TalkingBass - Online Bass Lessons thank you

[@shiwanssth3516]

thank you so much it helped me so muchhh

[@박물관을찾아서]

Thanks.. a lot!!!

[@Sunshine1364]

How do I make the strums not sound so scratchy?

[@chureliya]

Who said bass easier than guitar?😂 Here u have so many lessons 😅

[@ZodiacEntertainment2]

People who have never played bass say it's easier cause they've heard a punk style root note bassline one time. LOL

[@MaxMax-ex5rh]

Mark, where is blues lessons?????

[@splashboy3790]

So playing bass like a guitar

[@foljs5858]

Does that sound like a guitar to you? Or does the techniques and workarounds look the same? Didn't think so...

[@sosig1341]

Tom Anaya?

[@ljgarrison6910]

You're a bit fucking good ain't ya, your lessons help a lot!

[@kindapseudoanon]

It hurts...

[@RobertWadlow292]

It shouldn't

[@claudioclaudio7953]

How can I not hurt the base of my nails while doing this?

[@gpvboats]

Didnt lemmy strum?

[@talkingbasslessons]

Yup. With a pick.

[@petsandmyths]

He said alien :>

[@yogeebear2599]

I also said the word bass

[@ArinaAslanian]

Wait,why isn't he looking at me....?WHAT THE FUCK HE IS NOT LOOKING TO CAMERA??????

[@talkingbasslessons]

??? I'm looking straight at the camera

[@christianburke3106]

He's just left-eye dominant and often turns his head to the right. Look at the eyeballs, not the head! :D
