Jokes aside It's hard to be yourself online but don't worry your real fans already know you and love you for who you are. And you're an inspiration for me as a fellow introvert, tall guy, and shy person. You helped me be myself more and accept myself and not see myself as an outcast who needs to be 'fixed'. So thank you I usually don't write these comments but you truly are an inspiration for me keep it up and never change :)

I have even had to stop myself from buying more. The only reason I ever put guitar next to bass when I list them is just to expand my reach for looks at my post… even when I post a mic or drums I always put “ ( guitar bass studio band related) “ I always think it’s hilarious when I see a guitar bundled with a bass amp or someone puts “base guitar”

  • @alexanderringler5747
    @alexanderringler5747 Місяць тому +14

    As a bassist and classical guitarist I have to say: First learn to play bass. Here is my reasoning:
    The things, that you need to learn on a bass in order to function in a band are the most important practices, that every musician on a bass/guitar-shaped instrument have to learn. Except Bass has thicker strings and you need better technique (and more strenght) to do it right. I am talking about fundamentals, that every good musician on those instruments need.
    Talking about strenght in the hand/finger. In order to warm up before playing guitar, I play some scales... but if I warm up before playing bass, I play some guitar first.

    • @MobiusBandwidth
      @MobiusBandwidth Місяць тому

      I wanted to play bass, my parents said, why not try guitar first? why? because we already had one in the house. later as a bass teacher I ran into this many times among my students. I hope it's not still a thing. you can buy a new bass online for $70 that's a very decent beginner's instrument. buy your kid a bass.

    I've actually had this problem when it came to learning Bass. The teacher there played a lot of instruments and had a great sense in music theory, but he couldn't properly teach me advanced techniques like slap, tap, double thumb, etcetera. He applied as a teacher for bass because he knew how to play guitar well. It's nice to know guitar for music theory and such when teaching bass, but if you are going to teach it, actually know how to play it like a virtuouso. Don't apply because you know another instrument. It feels insulting. It's like if someone said they can teach the tuba cause they know how to play the trumpet. Learn it and respect it. Each instrument has their own techniques and fundamentals to learn.

Anyway, after you mentioned some music subscription services, said to myself to check TIDAL as well, because there is where my money goes, very high quality. I am listening now your third album on some pretty powerful hifi gear and it sounds amazing. First album was good, got a few favorites, second album... uhm... ALL are my favorites, third album... are you insane??? I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart, would you consider do a colab with Martina DaSilva (if she whants it), she is such a talented singer and really needs a good BASS because... well, I could tell you more but not here.

    Or can you watch Tyler Joseph playing bass? He is not real bassist but he really often plays bass

    Hahahaha. This is the best channel. And I'm not even a musician in any way. Just here for the entertainment and bc I love the music and sound of the bass. Could you play the bass of the song, "Shake" by the r&b group The Gap Band? I would love your take and spin and opinion on it. Gracie
