you make scotts bass lessons look like a joke. i love how you get to the point with your ideas. excellent!

[@alakhgange]

Yeah, rather than 20 30 minute long vlogs and 5 minute lesson in the same video, Anthony is always directly to the point.

[@Chitosmon]

Let’s be nice... but, Anthony is a Great Player/ TEACHER!!!

[@jabez36]

Scott wants you to buy his academy that's why. That place is rich with content.

[@michaelmarler7016]

SBL is a joke man. Geared towards beginners.

[@jabez36]

@@michaelmarler7016 are you talking about the KZbin channel or the Academy?

[@holdencaustic]

Besides the well thought out, solid, useful information you throw out there, your manner of speaking MUST be commended. It is very comfortable and candid, makes the listener feel like you’re hanging in the same room, casual exchange style. Last end of this lesson ( non-diatonic and change of direction ) was golden!!

[@ArnfinnRian]

This is pure Gold! Thanx!

[@randyclere2330]

Anthony, thanks so much for your great lessons and sharing!

[@1bassman2007]

You are a great teacher, Sir!

[@cubby6708]

Great videos, dude. Spending too much time on permutations, spacing out arpeggios, and using diatonics were and have always so much brain work. You are making me want to slow down my playing, and re learn old concepts with more focus. Awesome!

[@AugustineMotiar]

Great lesson.

[@jarvicomondi1689]

Thanks man.. this was really helpful and important..👊👊

[@Shuzies]

Nice lesson....thank you

[@alexpopovics3809]

Thank you for inspiring me!!!

[@atelier3985]

Smooth notes. no clutter. thats pretty hard to do. brilliant. Thanks

[@FUNKMASTERFOURTWO]

hey Anthony I've just come across your channel, really great lesson, so I've subed you, cheers rob

[@sbedfordbass]

Great stuff. A simple yet insightful lesson......how teaching should be done. Thumbs up from a fellow Dubai-based bassist. Hope to catch you at a gig sometime man. Peace :)

[@davidmartin8831]

First there was the terminator BUT now there's the Arpeggiator.....and that's you:o) ......your the A.M .....and the P.M of the time sound junction:o) You always give a full octave with a perfect 5th THANKS Peace + health 2 all the g string fondlers of the low sub frequency

[@Ilovereharm]

You're a freakin god thx

[@ManelRuivo]

i wann hear you in a gig, anthony. do a gig vlog for us!

[@veblenrules]

the triad inversions have that cool 4th which just breaks it up. its why it works.

[@balbino4]

Please, put the sheet music on de vídeo. Thank you very much!

[@ajadrew]

A useful sequence is R537/53R7/3R35/37R5 through maj/min/dim etc + exchanging the 7 for 6 on maj sounds. And, of course, finding the different lh finger options.... & then running it through progressions etc. This used to confound me initially but is worth its weight in gold when studied. I thank Joe Hubbard for this..;-))

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Absolutely man! Honestly there's way too many ways to get going with arpeggios. I am just trying to give a simple yet effective start for others who are looking to learn. Hubbard is a great educator :)

[@ajadrew]

And you do a great job Anthony! There are countless holes in my theoretical knowledge but I'm getting there..;-) Only came across you recently & I really like your style & approach. Keep well!

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

appreciate the support man and keep it up in the shed and you'll get all you need to get rolling :) Cheers!

[@ajadrew]

:-))

[@Kassiusday]

Anthony Muthurajah WHAT I FOUND INTERESTING IS TO APPLY WITH A song track of MUSIC LATER SO YOU can ILLUSTRATE , since in the end of the day is meant to be played in musical mode anyway ... THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! Very good tutorial !!!discipline as you say .. and keep smoothness and clarity ... some say speed will come alone as you progress ..

[@leewhite1332]

Have you done a studio setup video yet?

[@samcockrell]

Really dig your videos Anthony what roads did you take to be such a great player and I appreciate you slowing it down please find a way to show a dumb ass like me because the syncopation get’s in way sight. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@jabez36]

Man that last point on non diatonics blew my mind

[@vincentm614]

Anthony, when I first started looking at your lessons I assumed you were playing a fender jazz but I now see its a squire jazz bass. Im really impressed with your beautiful tone on the instrument. Its so clean with very little fret noise. It reminds me alot of Jeff Berlin. Since listening to you it inspires me to get a clean sweet tone from my jazz fretless. I like a bass that sounds clean and musical. Distortion has its place but if guitars and pianos and horns can sound sweet and beautiful so can a bass guitar.

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Thanks man and i absolutely agree! The bass can have many sounds and not just a grounded driving force with a groove :)

[@ernieD]

I too felt it must be a custom or boutique Jazz bass. Then the Sq__ on headstock snuck into frame. Jaw dropped ;?) Unless he's upgraded the electronics? Otherwise a beautiful tone either way. peace, e.

[@ritwikghosh8174]

5 dislike is i think another youtuber bass player 😂

[@callmedeno]

goldmine! By the way is that a marcus miller p7?

[@Chitosmon]

Isn’t that a Squier Jazz?

[@MichaelFClef]

All I know is that is the cutest cat on your desktop photo!

[@johnnylawrence23]

Hey man, really like your style/sound and way of teaching! Just a quick question regarding the arpeggio formula you have. What would your fingering be for the major arpeggio starting on the low F on the E string if you're ending on the high C on the G string. I dig your approach in E major but just unsure of how to approach the big stretch once you move out of open E. Cheers

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

It's more or less the same principle. Start the arpeggio with the index finger and after playing the first 3 notes, you have to make a big jump to the next octave. That's just unavoidable on a 4 string but it's a great dexterity builder!

[@johnnylawrence23]

Ok, so its all about getting use to those big jumps. Cheers for the response man.

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Johnny Lawrence Precisely! You’re welcome man, cheers!

[@AC-me5yp]

Anthony thank you always for your great lesson videos. I hava a question thats been bugging me for years, yet i still couldnt find the answer. How do you read notes on the fingerboard? For example when you practice&play arpeggio like this, do you first locate the root note then play the shapes accordingly? Or do you read every note, and play notes based on each notes? Iv seen many ppl saying the former way is an "easy" yet a bad method. But i just don't see how one can does the second method, while playing fast lines. Or is there third method that i dont know of?

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

I will do a lesson on this exclusively. General visualization of the fretboard is very critical and is often misunderstood. Not as hard as one might perceive it to be :)

[@AC-me5yp]

Anthony Muthurajah I’m definitely looking forward this video! Thank you so much. Love from Korea!

[@pepedahmer6137]

why are u not playin with da big leagues dude.

[@blohot]

Do you teach Bass in Dubai ? Would be keen

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

hey! Yes I do, drop me an email if you wanna get more info :)

[@wadu5819]

Of course jaco explained the same arpeggio approach on his vid circa 1984

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Honestly, I learnt most of my arpeggio ideas from that one lesson of his. What a giant for the bass guitar :)

[@timothysammyconteh2015]

Dude!! You look wired...But great Lesson tho. Thanks man!! You make it look so simple like eating burger..✌

[@samcockrell]

I forget to say show the notes of the scale tones your playing

[@gregbradshaw7220]

i need transcripts

[@fritzpageot8991]

Nice lesson..thanks
