      Is this intermediate level enough to play Overjoyed? Or do you need advanced or super advanced level?)

      With this particular melody structure, this exercise is akin to what I have been practicing for almost 2 years; have made 3 beautiful songs with these simple techniques.
      In this case, it was a man named Charles Berthoud who gave away your secre*****, oh wait I meant his own secrets.😊
      I had to sell my bass because of health and economic reasons but if I ever recover the physical strength in my body/dexterity in my elbow and wrist as well as find a place to live again, I will continue to do what makes me happy. Music.
      I mentioned it once before in a thread on one of these channels, being abandoned by fellow musicians and having my musical talent unappreciated has pushed me to the edge of quitting music altogether. There is only 2 reasons why I never quit, my late father who was my best support in music and a bass player who has your same last name, looks just like you, plays just like you and cone to think of it, IS YOU. It all started when I watched your cover of MAD WORLD and tried to replicate what you did (something I have yet to figure out how the heck you did that).
      I tip my hat to you Charles, want you to know that you made a difference. Thanks man.

    Even though I’m a guitarist, I’ve always enjoyed melodic tapping on bass more. It brings me back to my roots as a musician, because piano 🎹 was the first musical instrument I learned to play on.

    best video for tapping in the whole youtube. I had to learn the second one in C Major because i have only 20 frets but more challenges means more fun. And your chord progressions give me goosebumps. Looking forward to your next videos!!!

    Hey Charles long time fan. Really enjoying the lessons they have been super helpful. Sometimes I do struggle to keep up with the play along segments. Im not sure if the patreon has slower tracks or play alongs. Otherwise Im learning alot and really appreciate what your doing helping us get better at bass.

  • @brunoburke
    @brunoburke 3 місяці тому

    Is it correct, that this will sound completely dissonant due to both sides of the string sounding at the same time and its only solvable by playing with loud amp / headphone or using a fret wrap?
    Thanks for your great lessons!

    • @BassCampOfficial
      @BassCampOfficial  3 місяці тому +1

      You don't have to have your amp very loud. The pickups don't receive any of the signal from the other side of the string, so even at low volume your amp will drown out that sound!

      Don’t give up. Lots of factors. He has his own developed unique play style. He has his signature bass with whatever strings he has on it. He has customized the setup of his bass. He has the equipment setup and equalizer settings and the output playback. And he’s got like 20+ years of practice under his belt. Give yourself time

    Okay. Bass is one thing, but what about the other equipment, amp sound, mixed. Volume, .... And the quality of the pickups?
    It sounds great, but the secret of the sound?

    You should make a video about muting while slapping

    • @VynylFantasy
      @VynylFantasy 2 місяці тому

      I’m gonna be completely honest with you, muting on slaps is a completely inborn ‘skill’ and I don’t think it can be taught. Not that this guy couldn’t make a video and explain it, but muting is a ‘feel thing’, like cooking a steak med rare without using a thermometer. Remember, slap muting is all in your left hand (whatever hand is on the fretboard). Actually most of your slap technique will depend on your fret hand rather than your slap hand. Practice this…pick any 2 notes to slap with…do G (3rd fret) E string and next octave 5th fret D string, then practice slap the E (thumb) Pop the D (finger) and then slap the E twice. So slap/pop/slap/slap and then start replacing the last slap with a mute. Once you get into a rhythm, change the note on the second slap but continue to mute the G on the E string. Just work on the feeling in your fret hand. It’s hard to explain in text form, it would be easier if I could just show you.
