THE Must-Know Melodic Bass Lick

[@Flea797]

Excellent as usual. I also wanted to thank for your work, helping out bass players in the world. It's been a while since I follow your videos, you're the best teacher so far I've ever seen in the internet. Thanks again. Peace and Bass, from France.

[@talkingbasslessons]

Thanks a lot!

[@ianmackenzie686]

Whether or not you're aware of it, you are a fantastic music teacher. Thanks for what you do!

[@FrankZen]

I like that you get right to it without a lot of pre talk! Very practical teaching!

[@TheCoon2000]

good lesson! there's some teachers on you tube that are too quick but Mark takes his time and shows you properly!

[@kingslaphappy1533]

The 9th is really a staple riff for bass players and this exercise really helps train the fingers and mind to be able to use it where it fits. Ty!

[@vovachammonet5771]

Thx Mark - Your teaching approach is very effective - the most effective. Cheers!

[@madmike8v72]

I'm a very beginner bass player and I want to thank you for these great videos! You have a clear relatable teaching style and I get more out of your videos than any other KZbin channels I've seen. Great work!

[@johnfrancisritchie8178]

Once again brilliant lesson, so easy too follow, great teacher!

[@chomusic]

It makes me happy each time I watch your video.

Great as always Mark. I learn so much from watching your tutorials. Thanks.

Luxury, amazing lessons. Thank you so much...

[@bassdrumguitarstrum5663]

great lesson! very nice and beautyful lick! Thanks!

[@DeadbeatShadows]

You can find this lick in Pinback's 3 X 0 off of Summer in Abaddon too. I watched this video and had to find out where I had heard this before.

[@markbra]

Sir Mark, thank you.

[@cybrunel1016]

I really dig your videos.I have one small suggestion however, if you could use a different backdrop, say orange for instance, it would probably be easier on your viewers eyes.Just a thought, and thanks for posting.

[@TheRflynn]

Then Mark would need a whole new wardrobe

[@briansimmons8782]

awsome lesson thank you

[@ruwankodithuwakku8419]

thank you so..much and awesome ur effort

[@57precision]

Awesome lesson as usual, Mark. Would be nice if in the lesson material you had included the chord progression to practice over.

[@tonysimmons5729]

I may be confused but I think he says the progression he had in mind was was 2-5-1, so D, G, C. Gonna listen again though..

[@tonysimmons5729]

Just heard it again. It’s at about the 5:10 mark of the vid. It’s one bar of Dm7, one bar of G7, and two bars of C7. 👍

[@jonprior2355]

Man these lessons have helped me become a bass player, really enjoying the different styles and techniques. Watched Another video where you do the three finger pluck and I now incorporate that in to my playing! Thank you sir, keep on keepin on

[@Cake_Doge]

your pfp tells me why you needed to learn 3 finger plucking haha, I studied that video as well for the same purpose once

What kind of pickup are they

[@hainguyenho3860]

Very useful

[@DrZpook]

My finger really hurts after this xD

[@PushSueAside]

What is that beautiful bass you are playing? Also what pickups do you use?

[@monkeybusiness673]

Gee, Mark...what are those pickups?! They are mezmerizing!

[@unclepodger]

John Deacon is my biggest influence. This lick was used in "Radio Ga Ga", so was pleasantly surprised when heard the lick. What's the bass?

[@Musicmahn]

in "Mother Love" also

And The Show Must Go On and Bicycle Race lol. A trademark

And These are the days of our lives

[@markdavis4754]

The bass he is playing is an Enfield Lion heart

[@evandiliberto6238]

What is the green light in your pickups?

those are some of the widest pickups i've ever seen

[@robbennett]

Sounds like pearl jam alive is entirely based on this.

[@kylestallings9684]

rob bennett I thought it sounded like a Pearl Jam song, very nice lol

[@pearlssbu8749]

My bass sounds nothing like that

[@moshefitukicohen5662]

great lesson ! but please please buy a new bass cuz this one is so ugly

[@craigduncan8364]

Such good lessons, i just really hate your bass guitar taste 😂

[@talkingbasslessons]

What do you hate about my basses? lol The Fender Jazz is my main bass, the Ibanez is the one I use for the technical stuff. The Enfield isn't actually mine. That's a review copy I used for a few lessons. There's also the natural '82 Precision I use for a lot of the blues lessons. I've got others but just don't use them. So really, i'd say the Fender Jazz and Precision are my two main basses (they're the only ones I use for gigs). They're pretty normal, common instruments. Note: By the way, in terms of sound, build and pretty much everything else, the Enfield is actually light years ahead of any other bass I've played. I just need to save up for one!

[@johnisaaccrisostomo2413]

TalkingBass - Online Bass Lessons I think he meant the color of your bass

[@allinornothin]

i only watched the first few seconds where you showed the 'must know bass lick' and all i hear a major 9th. perhaps this is a beginner channel and thats great. but did you really take 20 minutes to play a power chord with a 9th? could've saved ya quite a bit of time to say adding a d to a C power chord. maybe im being harsh and the first power power chord and sliding to the 9th is not what the whoel video is about. i just had to stop watching after playing a power chord arpeggio and then say something about queen being the innovator of this. if im off the mark here, im fair to criticism but there are much better ways of explaining away major scales that go to the next octave then glamorizing it as some kind of must know secret. i think you would've been better off making a video about the importance of manipulating a major scale in different ways then this click bait.

[@BrianCarey]

I gave up playing bass in college back in the late 70's and two weeks ago I bought a bass and amp and took it up again. Got to say these videos are fantastic, thanks for this.

[@thebigempty_5792]

Never give up on what you enjoy! I gave up playing for 10 years because the ex didn't want me to play. I've since started playing again too! Don't get discouraged or intimidated by the 3 and 9 yr. old prodigies here on YT HAHA it's all for the enjoyment of the instrument!

[@silencedones4421]

​@@thebigempty_5792 prodigy? There are absolutely no shortcuts at all. You must put in the time. Just because parents throw an instrument into their child's hands at 2 doesn't take the time away of practicing. If you don't truly have a desire to put the hours in then that person is just expecting to play like a pro in a delusional world.

[@shanestyles2993]

No doubt about you Mark... your a fantastic teacher. Thanks again for all your effort.

[@2121toso]

Once again a great lesson. I strengthen my theory with each of your lessons. It is very nice how you take a simple line and teach it getting progressively more advanced and teaching the theory behind it in a practical way. I also would love to run into an Enfiels bass, but we don't seem to see them in the states.

[@FrankZen]

2121toso So true. I haven't really been able to wrap my head around theory... this really helping!
