How to play a bass line through a chord progression

[@lanielcrutchfield5384]

I'm probably too old to be trying to learn how to play the bass I'm 61 years old but I've been learning for about 3 months now. I just want to say that I've been watching you since I started learning and this video has really helped me to understand how to apply this stuff to songs. Thanks Mark, you're awesome.

[@reedysbarbershop]

you are never to old to play bass.

[@sallychappus7438]

@@reedysbarbershop Thank you, I'm 71 and I'm just starting. Although I've been a drummer all my life this has been a dream of mine for a very long time. Loving the learning process.

[@nickdrey1200]

​@@sallychappus7438 well, bass is basically the drums of the string instrument world lmao. You can incorporate a lot of your rhythm foundations into bass playing. Like syncopation and percussive ghost notes. Those drum foundations you have will allow you to become an awesome percussive, drummer friendly bass player. You can do it, brotha, never stop practicing

[@RockerProf]

If you start learning the bass now, in 5 years you could know how to play the bass. But if you don't start learning the bass now, in 5 years you'll be five years older, and you won't know how to play the bass. Are you seriously gonna spend the next 30 years of your life learning nothing new? That would be sad.

[@LearnerChess]

Hands down the best teacher on KZbin -- with Steve Stine as a decent runner up.

[@f1948s]

Mark is the most generous and best teacher on the internet. He is an awesome educator and presents the information in a way that the student can actually understand and learn from his lessons.When I need any bass learning programs I will definitely buy from his store.

[@reubenphil87]

You just motivated me all over again like you always do..Thanks Mark..

[@maliqazka8161]

You're a really good teacher mark..

[@dhaniOliver]

thanks for sharing with us. bless you and you work.

[@RHill79]

great lesson thank you one question, how are you incorporating the bass drum locks into the last line you play in the video? I can't seem to figure it completely out.

[@hhluca8062]

I'm sure you have a beautiful smile, why so serious?

[@rashydoxx7356]

You are an excellent teacher! Keep up the good work.

[@mattthompson19]

Keep repeating 5:24-5:25 and its the 'Stranger Things' theme song.

[@SammyJCuthbert]

The original song is by the police

[@julia22202]

My cat loves this video! This is the first time she's been interested in a video that isn't birds or squirrels.

[@polygondwanaland8390]

Cedarstorm Sounds like you have a...cool cat.

[@Kliamframe]

I"m learning so much today! :)

[@wortelish]

Simple & Very usefull You're very talented teacher.

[@bigal2643]

Anyone else used to reading chord diagrams oriented the other way? It seemed to me like the chords on the chart were upside down, and it was really confusing for a hot minute.

[@pedrofelix5854]

You are trully a great teacher, I learn A LOT with every video of yours, I can't thank you enough!!

[@JSDJerry]

I am learning to play play guitar and found this Bass lesson the best lesson I ever had for practicing my arpeggios and creating lines. Thank you

[@bak1386]

I really like your lessons, they always start basic and work up to something that's worth it's weight, often something critical to developing real bass skills. Just overall good structure to the lessons

[@nancydoane7864]

Hi Mark! Thank you sooooooo much for this lesson! One of THE most useful and practical lessons so far in my learning journey! My husband is a drummer and once I get this lesson solid I finally feel like I'l finallyl be able to jam with him! Blessings! Nancy

[@khickmann1]

The diagram for G7 just doesn't look right to me. What's up with that? Tablature for it anyone? Should be G B D F G right?

[@alxiroi]

Great lesson. Where can we see the lesson that fallows... passing tones and etc ?

[@lucianylucien3321]

[@AntoninoNuciforo]

Thank you Mark for this lesson , you have shown and explained it in such a clear manner that I now understand what I just couldn't grasp before .I am very grateful .

[@edertwins]

You're a Great Teacher. :)

[@Fretliner]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos, thanks..

[@factstellstories5559]

Thanks a lot Mark!

[@robertw1871]

Thanks, you have the best thing going on KZbin, I appreciate the tabs and very clear explanations, shows you really know what you’re doing...

[@erwo_fella]

This is enlightening! Sorry about the newbie question, but why is the 7th always diminished? Or how do I know if the 7th needs to be diminished or natural?

[@TBSSPILOTviews]

Really enjoyed the progressions break down...😎🤙🏽

[@davidmfass]

I can play all the basic stuff you played, but I don't know how to progress to playing that last bass line you played. There's a gaping chasm between the basic stuff and that "pro baseline", and I don't know how to get there.

[@erkameksen7481]

Great Lesson... just a correction offer i want to give.... the diagrams you show us is not the notes you play on guitar..... e.g. c major 7 chord notes.... you play starting from 3rd fret but the diagram shows us starting from 8th fret.... can't find any other fault... i wish my comment has not been arrogant... thanks again....

[@11kerol]

You are awesome God bless you for sharing your experience I just want to ask like in guitar scales and patterns can you share something about patterns or shapes we can use for maj, Min,and 7th chords. Thank you Kerol

[@HomeImprovementDude]

Thanks for sharing your expertise. Its very kind of you. I appreciate it!. I will study your lessons!

[@demonartkh3668]

This is great!!!

[@sunshineIniodu]

You can equally code the notes specially when using minor pentatonic combined with solo.. Good Smiles 2 5 7 1 3 5. Cminor7 Dominant

[@XrizShowdaddy]

You are the best bass guitar teacher in the world. You made bass playing simple as ABC 👍

[@Azarie03]

These are the best lessons. I don't know why I haven't found them until recently. Thanks 8 years later!

[@ismaelnin8960]

Gracias, capo

[@pgerard2188]

Thank you Mark for teaching me how to play the bass. For me you are the best teacher in the internet, keep up the good work. Ps. You should have a pay subscription site.

[@johnathanmckenzie8360]

Honestly ur the best soooo far... I'm learning from you everyday

[@andrewmuelleranantababaji8073]

What bass company

[@BigJoe2286]

Enfield

[@maxponsetis1948]

nide tips

[@99nate]

Felt like I maxed out what I could learn and process on bass by the end of high school. A couple years later getting back into it and it feels better than ever. Thanks for such a clear video!

[@crockerrange7149]

GOOD one Mark. Are you using Ibanez's ?

[@EvilSean62]

thank you for this i show it to my students and it really helps ///... stranger things theme arpegio is in therte ... did you know ?

[@CDQPK]

1:49 reminds me of the Mumbo Jumbo remix Nerdbox that Pixlriffs made

[@shotgunincblaste1806]

you are the Mutz Nutz my friend, thank you for your generosity with these lessons, long may it continue

[@77Yael63]

hellow (-: i really feel it was sufull for me can i ask what kind of base guitar is in the film? thanks!

[@jeem7332]

what do you use to make your backing tracks? :)

[@RajivKumar-nt9id]

Super class.thank you sir

[@rtroiani]

That bass is gorgeous. What make and model is it?

[@WNTR_Productions]

I can barely hear the bass when you use the backing track...

[@josephtobias245]

woaaaa ! it helps a lot for me as a beginner bass player :) thank you so much :)

[@simplybass70]

One of the best bass teachers on KZbin so much value in evey lesson .

[@streetpreacher3935]

Enjoy your lessons and learn a lot. Thanks!

[@garamabasse]

very clear and "utile" to understand

[@victormanuelgonzalezlopez8770]

Podrías explicarlo paso a paso con tabss lesson por favor seria de gran ayuda

[@AllusernamesgoneFUCK]

Awesome lesson, it makes much more sense visually then having to read the lessons on talkbass. I also believe that chord tones should be taught early on while you're learning to play. This is one of the most important lessons to get into, thank you for showing us all

[@jbmdlalose4171]

Great lesson videos ...

[@ABArtandInfo]

Wow amazzinggg thanksssssss

[@hamkaab3634]

Excellent lesson, excellent delivery. I watched this months ago, and now i'm rewatching and couldn't say how much i even more and more aprreciate this particular lesson. It's like i was lost (by other videos) but this points me back to the right direction. Many2 thanks Mark.

[@omg_wtf]

Simple is best dude. Too many vids on YT are about ego and forget the role of the bass

[@jhonmcheaven3205]

This video is so heavy?
