    Hello brother…thank you for mentioning my email in your video. I honestly wasn’t expecting it. I couldn’t tell you’re a one man band if you didn’t mention it. Your explanation and practical application on this platform is exceptional! You are helping all aspiring bass players to learn bass and stay inspired. We look forward to all your future videos. Cheers

    As an "Old Beginner" I was confused until noticing you are using a 5 string bass. I'm using a 4 string.

    • @timilaosebikan3454
      @timilaosebikan3454 17 днів тому

      What would the patterns look like for a 4 string though? I get what he’s saying, as someone who stays boxed up. If I can just memorize another pattern (scale) around the fretboard think I’d be satisfied 😂

    • @stevensleconte493
      @stevensleconte493 16 днів тому

      The only difference with the 5 string is the lower B string. You can do most of what a 5 string bass player can do with the exception of the lower notes. I just started on a 5 string coming from a 4 string.

    • @RayBradford
      @RayBradford 14 днів тому

      I forgot to give that disclaimer on this vid lol! Apply these same concepts to your four string. Even think of it as the fifth string isn’t there!

    • @RayBradford
      @RayBradford 14 днів тому

      The patterns will look exactly the same, I think! Just look at it as the B string(fifth string) isn’t there. Practice along with the vid in the key of G Major. I hope this helps!

    • @RayBradford

      It’s a contemporary Jazz squier. I beefed it up on the electronics side though. And some setups can be a little pricey depending on who’s doing it and what all they do.

    I absolutely love the concept of this video and you describe the songs with great detail and personality. I hope your video goes viral to encourage others to do their own prediction setlists. I imagine K Dot performing some of his more empowerment songs like HiiiPower from Section 80 and The Blacker the Berry but I don't know if he would go for that with a Super Bowl crowd, but then again, what Kendrick has been doing this year more than any feels like a movement against the establishment. We'll see...
