[@lonniebaker5364]

Man dude I was just telling my wife I feel stuck and don’t know what to practice you just gave me a lot of homework and I appreciate this lesson it was perfect timing thanks bro God bless you man!!!

[@tsant6591]

Thanks for slowing the exercises down. Most youtubers who teach, are into flexing their chops, and flashing some tabs on the screen. What you do is exactly what the people are looking for!

[@BriansKitchen]

LOL! Love the bottom lip bite! It's a bassist's go-to face. I love it. I think it really comes out when you get to that intermediate level of playing when you are comfortable laying down a fat groove, locking in with the drummer, and you physically feel that amazing feeling of throwing it down. Loved this lesson. I have some stuff to work on because I have only ever been intermediate level and now I want to bump up my skills. My church is going to think I went to a gospel church and took a few lesson from the 4 hour long worship sessions! haha

[@elim4605]

Wow this is amazingly helpful thank you! You're an incredible teacher, whoever is studying with you is very lucky.

[@TyroneCCloud]

OMG T!!! That was such an awesome lesson, you actually take your time and give us a chance to learn it, thank you!

You're exercises are really helpful for that fast part in Dazed and Confused. Thank you and rock on.

[@Oscaraha]

Great exercizes, thank you! I would however suggest to start the exercizes on the upper part of the fretboard. Doesnt make any sence to start out on the hardest part of the neck.

[@0711RC]

Thanks Travis

[@edennard1]

Get a 4 string , string it with Flatwounds and raise the action and practice.. start a scale at a slow tempo then try to pick up your tempo but don’t be in a rush.. this will help your strength, dexterity, tone and articulation . It definitely helps if you’re and everyday player but some are not and that’s ok.doesn’t mean you can’t improve.. Personally I’ve used Tuba and Trombone suites solo pieces that has help me improve every way..also as Travis has mention practicing shout music ( and also Blue Grass) will help you tremendously

[@aprilmotlhale3744]

[@mondocane4336]

Dear Travis, just to have a reference, what is the fastest you can go on the 1st exercise?

[@peadookie]

Dear Bass Dude, a) You're a fantastic teacher. Subbed. b) That bass is BAAAAAAD, man. Looks amazing.

[@darrelnorton5826]

Great job Travis, my fingering on the Chromatic exercise sucks, my little finger will not reach the fourth fret. Do they make finger extensions? I'll continue to practice these two notes at 60 bpm, Thank you.

[@Hairbandito]

Ditto on that

[@necronorris]

My hand hurts watching this lol. I started playing bass like I play classical guitar, so my thumb was positioned such that is was align with my middle finger. Tore my forearm up. So I am taking a week and trying again. Im also curious what I should be looking for action wise?
