Thank you Luke, FINALLY someone who gets it. Most beginning players, regardless of age, can't follow most of the lessons on YT. Plus you add in old age, arthritis, multiple decades of physical impairments, and although everyone on YT means well, you are one of the few who truly understand. Thank you.

Do you have any tips for increasing finger strength as well? I can barely use my left hand since it's not my dominant, it's much weaker than my right.
@BecomeABassist Жыл бұрын
Absolutely @Sir this is a Wendy's. Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ6pZKiui7x2kMU It's specifically about strengthening your pinky, but the exercises I talk about in that video can strengthen whichever finger becomes the 'anchor'. Hope it helps!

Great stuff as usual. It adds a layer of thought but trying different finger-fretting choices helps figure out more efficient ways to travel around the fretboard. I have a natural tendency to start every scale with the index finger. I see you start the Cmaj scale with the middle finger, which makes so much more sense so you can hit the major 3rd (E) with the index finger.

100% @Rob Geller! Being able to start on any finger at any point on the fretboard makes a HUGE difference. Yes, it's an extra thing to think about, but well worth it.

my finger muscles are extremely tight. I can't move my fingers around on the frets without my fingers getting tight. especially my pinkie. also my middle finger and ring fingers can't get away from each other. I can stretch my index and pinkie fingers across 4 frets, but i can't separate my middle and ring fingers enough to play the 2 frets in between without moving my whole hand over. I know that these are common beginner issues, but it's extremely demotivating when I feel like my fingers don't want to move at all bc they're so tight.

Hi Luke, I've started giving bass lessons to a few friends and I don't know what to teach when. I thought my friend some muting techniques and gave him a left hand exercise (it's just doing 6-7-8-9 on the E string.). Any tips on what should I teach next? I've already thought him two finger alternate picking too

I appreciate this tutorial and that you included the names of the scales. Im teaching myself bass and its only been a few days and bc of how you play it, it led me to music theory obviously but I'm picking up alot of knowledge already that I didnt learn teaching myself to play a little bit of guitar, im a singer and drummer though. I knew the Aeolian scale (or mode I think..noob lol) because Simon Gallup of The Cure likes that one and he's the reason I decided I wanted to learn bass as well. Thank you for putting this out there for all of us! 🤘

I've always slowed down to practice but I've never thought of it as a meditation exercise before. I like that perspective a lot, getting in touch with the whole of the hand and process, I'm going to keep this in mind when I'm practicing next. Thank you for the great lessons!

You are a saint on Earth my friend. I'm slowly digging into the music theory part of bass and these videos help quite a bit. Not to mention tracks and guides. I will keep a place in my mind to remember the generosity and hopefully repay it in some way down the road. Thank you.
