[@ketongu]

you're the best bass educator on youtube, mark, thanks for your videos

[@steviedebarge77]

Mark is an amazing person. He can sit amongst the greats. He can play anything and any genres. He makes the most difficult things look simple and he makes it teachable

[@shariemccraney6537]

You are a FANTASTIC teacher! So professional. Not too slow and not too fast.

[@pleasurementgui]

You’re the best, Mark! Thank you!

[@shanthis]

This was perfect timing (no pun intended) in that I was trying to brush up on some aspects of theory. Thank you, Mark!

[@kir697]

Thank you very much,it's helping

[@liamjenkins82]

More awesome videos from the man.

[@0711RC]

Thank you for your lesson. Greatly appreciated!!

[@joannmannello9158]

FENDER BASS TONE SO LOVELY

[@wadsofat]

I love the way you explain music theory while adding practical exercises to help lock it in. It is why I keep coming back to your videos. Thanks Mark

[@dambrooks7578]

Marvellous lesson, as always! Thank you Mark

[@vincemiller3877]

Always learn something from you man thanks.

[@scotthudson8363]

Great Lesson Mark, but I was a little distracted watching your tuning pegs appear and disappear as you moved around. Some trick of the light or video masking... I always learn something from your lessons, thanks.

[@TheHealthyPlumber]

I appreciate this video my dude. I’ve been playing bass for over 30 years and I consider myself an intuitive player. I am musically illiterate. When I play, people assume I know theory based on my skill level. I don’t consider myself to be one that plays music, but rather allows music to move through me. Someone I know really wants me to learn theory so I can understand what I already do naturally. I play music for expression not as a career. My concern is will learning theory suck the life out of the reason why I play in the first place

[@karioliskoko2215]

cool strap...... where can i get one of this??

[@mrbungle7586]

Good lesson Mark and nice to see the MM Jazz out for a run again.
