So in this lesson I've got a bass lick to show you that's gonna make you SWEAT!

Scott, I love your humility, you praise other bass players and you keep yourself out.let me however tell you that you are really a good bass player yourself. I'm a guitar player who loves bass as well and I love your clean bass touch!

[@dwayneelizondomountaindewh1465]

Scott is a beast, he will melt your face.

[@davidmarsalis1522]

This guy is just Ridiculously amazing what a bass player.

[@tulio9504]

Hey scott! This is the best kind of lesson that you can do. I'm a Brazilian bassist and i'm ever looking for thet secret of bass in gospel stiles. This is a amazing jam. So, thanks for show me the way. God bless you!

[@saschma3543]

Love the way Andrew lives Music. Just look at his face 😊

[@tiagoemanueldiniz]

Amazing! Tanx for this video! God bless you!

[@asawills9327]

I was surprised to pick this up very easily since it its right in my style of playing. Thanks Scott!!!

[@dgaf-wk4pk]

Thanks ! For taking the fear away of trying to "play" the impossible "lines" and for explanation it in an easily way 🤝

[@MFCbass65]

Andrew's the man. Great to see the both of you on this video.

[@albertrd.9342]

It's great to take these long licks apart and use pieces of them to make licks of my own.

[@nathaniellollis3868]

That bass is gorgeous!!!!

[@how-ab0ut-no576]

Whenever i see things like this, it always gives me more motivation to get better.

[@01frugalbassist85]

Scott's Bass Lessons Thanks for the lesson, Scott. Very concise and translated well enough for even me to understand....

[@GaryJibilian]

What a fun riff!! Thank you, Scott!!

[@Kabanchik04]

This video actually gave me a new energy for playing bass, that i was starving for. Thank you

[@thomasbass5032]

Awesome!! That is what bass is for me!! Great stuff Scott!!

[@ManifromtheTOR]

You should’ve added that “WHAAAAT??” bass run into the lesson too!! It was fire! Sounded like a Sharay Reed kinda bass lick

[@perpetualgrimace]

Incredible lick!

[@jeffengee2000]

Wow... that lick is a monster to nail at speed. It is for me at least :) but I’m getting there. Just learning it gave me a number of ideas to explore as well. That’s why I love these videos. They inspire me to try things I hadn’t tried before and I really appreciate that.

[@dubmoth76]

4:18 - Scott's expression! Great video... Gouche is a monster player!

[@BlaireBustillo]

This is a great breakdown and a groovy riff :D Thanks Scott =)

[@riffraff778]

Can't wait to work it out! Cheers Scott!

[@jonathanmaclean2731]

Something tells me his favorite colour is red...

[@arthurmee]

or possibly even reddish pink.

[@FerruchaJOrginhO99]

That's clearly Bordeaux or Vivid Burgundy xD

[@Rikkcas]

Wonder if that's a stained body, or it's all purpleheart or bloodwood?

[@Infect28dm]

Jonathan Maclean this bass is so gorgeous

[@generalkenobi6869]

It’s cause he’s a blood

[@taylorhelm8627]

-"Hi! I'm Andrew and I'm obsessed with stuff that is red!" -"Hi, Andrew!"

[@Arkain89]

his left hand is mesmerizing

[@maddoxtroy683]

Good stuff

[@olivierjacquet]

0:52 the camera guy is such funny guy !

[@jackeaffe]

Richard Bona und dieser Mensch... ich stelle meinen Bass in die "Altkleidersammlung"!

[@gordeevious]

Gouche almost never looks at the neck. Pretty amazing.

[@ojutay8375]

Andrew Gouche is that guy

[@macsjamtracks8495]

This is a super cool lick. Seeing as I can't play bass, going to transpose this onto guitar, and give it a bash

[@meedily]

Somewhere Paul Bunyan is lying shirtless and unconscious.

[@MrTuohitorvi]

great content man

[@Darxxxide]

I haven't gone to church in years, but I love hearing "praise bass".

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

OMG ! Amazing !

[@alvaroflores3431]

[@krismorgan1405]

Thanks king

[@stephencoxbass]

Fun lick!

[@gallaxyquest]

Wooow awesome

[@AndrewBoydMusic]

Wow!

[@element-dh9dx]

Wow you actually learned how to play it ?. You're a savage bass man.

[@AFRENTAO]

He's insane!

[@bryanbass1527]

bestias....que calidad..... solo bueno.

[@emuarubishi3369]

Here is the lick that I know: D E F G E C D

[@mcsquid6861]

Mervert Pervert what lick is that

[@matcoddy6097]

Floofy Flareon, Its "the lick" from adam neely.

[@mcsquid6861]

Mat Coddy ah that would make sense

[@jensclarberg6419]

Its not from Adam Neely lol

[@jensclarberg6419]

Its a lick used before Neely was even born, how can it be HIS lick?

[@strauqq1]

Damn, riff!

[@carltoncollier6187]

BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Pjaysusity]

Nice

[@jacobmoss1692]

Hey Scott I was just wondering if the foam on that bass mute it's starting to wear out👍🎵

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

😂😂alot of grooving going on here, direct and vicarious as well.

[@danielirvine7468]

Oh my goodness I so want to hang out and shoot some stuff with you guys

[@terrancemosby9651]

That's a sweet tone of red!!!!

[@Steedonline]

Jawdropping !

[@hiesenbergwalt181]

Brooklyn!,!

[@fxdsmitt]

this grey bass is so beautiful.

[@zeldamage001]

This is like a lesson on how to shred for jazz bassists :P

[@yari2517]

Believe me! I will play that lick a Church!!!! For suuuuuuure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😂

[@woodrowscott4426]

I think Scott had the right and only word you can describe that lick with is "WHAT?!" Completely insane! Andrew Gouche' is like my Idol in bass playing. Hopefully I can get somewhat close to playing that lick at that speed in about 5 years or so! lol

[@Duvstep910]

see how powerful Gospel is

[@moopinboopin]

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT SONG THAT IS FROM

The lick itself it's not difficult, but that sheer speed...

[@techbass9440]

Hey Scott! Im a big fan of your channel. I had a discussion with a music professor a while back and he seemed rather bias about fanned frets. What is your opinion of them? And have you ever played a bass with them?

[@bryantgaspar1213]

I love your vids man especially that you do Christian music awesome

[@CarlosPlaMechanic]

sos un crack!

[@wooferdevlin3571]

is AG drop tuned a whole tone? does his signature MTD have Bartolinis? great energy guys. some break- neck tempos there. Yow! ♫

[@carsonawesome]

That groove at 2:43 tho! Ahhh, so nice! Anyone know what tune that is?

[@jakeNastix]

Right!?!?! Please someone chime in and help out!

[@phatbassanchor]

Thanks! This is a perfect example of what I have always said about fast licks. All fast licks are just something fairly simple played very quickly. It's that idea that has aided me in figuring out licks by Geddy, Flea, Jaco and so many others. Yet ther is still one set of solo fills that have evaded me all these years... the fills in 'YYZ' from Rush Moving Pictures. I can play all the verses and chorus parts but damn! Those solo runs still loose me. I tried slowimg it down with my Tascam machine but it broke! Any chance of getting a video on this one? Been trying since high school and that dog still won't hunt!

[@Ahriman_II]

phatbassanchor the ability to adjust YT videos playback stopped has helped a lot as well

[@chelfyn]

There's a reasonable version in rocksmith 2014 (fan DLC on customsforge.com) - the riff repeater in rocksmith is a great tool for learning parts like this

[@cadeallen7210]

I like to find the Rush isolated bass videos and slow them down in Reaper, my DAW of choice. Also, it may help to first play as light as possible and then play harder once you get it down.

[@chelfyn]

Here's a link to the tab for YYZ on bass (not perfect, but it's a start) mega.nz/#!yDwCxKJT!K0S_co8r1IkJNpSbJluFauS-8Riht5pKMGbtqpqntZo

[@bassmanx357]

phatbassanchor true, but tasteful....

[@ddtalk]

What about Dr.Abraham Laboriel ?

[@malcolmdproducer]

Hi @Scott. Is there a possibility you could tell me the names of the songs Andrew Gouche played to. I will love to have the names. Thanks for the incredible video/tutorial.

[@francesc2529]

always in my mind xdd

[@jackdixon29jd]

The main song in there is Chaka Khan's I Feel For You, originally by Prince

[@Wuerfelhusten1510]

Wow! Very impressing :-O Can anyone tell me what beautiful red Bass this is?

[@JohnAldenDavis]

Looking like Dave Boonshoft (Aguilar) with that hat. lol

[@ashtonparrish]

meet up with wojtek pilichowski

[@naiyalexic]

holy crap --- the Gospel stuff is MAD good... (I play melodic progmetal, and damn, I can appreciate this.)

[@ashleysean21]

Naiya Devine Cominos what's melodic prog metal and why is that the only thing you play

[@conorkeane4665]

Maybe she is a bassist who plays melodies in a progressive metal band? =P

[@ashleysean21]

Conor Keane based on her statement I just assumed she meant she only plays that. The way she said it seemed to imply that it was something to be impressed by.

[@conorkeane4665]

Ashley Sean okay I understand, no hard feelings =)

[@jonathonvillella1614]

Naiya Devine Cominos I want someone to turn this guy on to descravity. Or inferi.

[@ayodeleliasu9469]

Do the in impossible baseline challenge please

[@maartenarnou]

The download request link doesn't seem to work. Could my adblocker be in the way? I'm in the Academy anyways, so I'll see if I can find it the transcription there.

[@rmccain99]

On Prince 1999 Andrew is playing an F at the G position so his E string is really tuned down a whole step to D.

[@MrSixxbass]

Andrew Gouche !!! Bad Dude !!!

[@ogbajijulius6330]

Hi Scott how can I get that your strap

[@Mr.H_74_]

What is that smooth jam at 2:42?

[@bokopiiti2275]

Easy sequence based lick

[@AradijePresveti]

0:52 Is that what I think it is? That thing on the cam

[@irragrams]

The face melter lick.

[@pepsimaru]

What his actually impressing isn't how fast Andrew Gouche can go with his left hand, but how much he can go fast & have CONTROL with his right hand. You can go has fast as he could but only very talented bass player could have as much control as he has.

[@gleventhal]

He goes from looking like a sleeping baby in a bumpy car ride to a crying baby when he plays his bass.
