TalkingBass - Online Bass Lessons. Do you Need to develop finger strength for this technique i can't sound out of the tap

[@mr.bassbuoy6092]

Can you make a video on sweep picking on the bass with fingers?

[@talkingbasslessons]

I'll have a go!

[@chrisbassartist4344]

mr. bassbuoy I second that request!! I got the right hand sweeping down but trying to figure out best fingerings on left hand plus I really need a fret wrap like you’re using here

[@mr.bassbuoy6092]

@@talkingbasslessons I'd be really grateful if you could make a video on that :-)

[@tom_dilley]

@@talkingbasslessons Nice! I've always been fascinated by those crazy sweeps Nathan Navaro does.

STILL WAITING FOR THE SWEEPING LICK!!!

[@falconismbot9370]

Man I have been needing a lesson that's easily digestible like this. I'm gonna be practicing that all night now! Thanks for all the lessons Mark!

[@polymorphism111]

Best explanation of Sheehan style! Hats off, sir!

[@bmilner1911]

Thanks so much mark you’re a great teacher

[@albertsuever1874]

Love that tone

[@kingslaphappy1533]

Excellent and easy to understand! Will take some practice to master.👍

[@roshanthapa7075]

Your videos are always a great guide for me

[@michaeljohnson1481]

Awesome thanks Mark!

[@jonboggio3323]

Sorry I had to watch again I couldn't take my focus off those amazing Sims pickups. Those are going on my next through bass I build. How do you like them so far?

[@giorgioodegarth941]

Bravo🤘

[@kahwigulum]

I would have like to see a riff that incorporated this as well. Something simple that highlighted _when_ a person might want to use something like this on bass. 10/10 otherwise! I always enjoy your content and look forward to Fridays for that reason.

[@talkingbasslessons]

This isn't the kind of thing you'd really associate with a riff. You're more likely to get it as a part of an unaccompanied shred solo on stage (a la Billy Sheehan) or doubled with a guitar in an instrumental section (again a la Sheehan/Vai, Sheehan/Gilbert etc)

[@MrSpiderkiss]

Where can I get info on that super cool bass and your teal colored one?

[@talkingbasslessons]

This is an Enfield Lionheart (Martin Sims) and the pickups in the Ibanez are also made by Martin Sims. Check out the website. Great basses/pickups.

[@MrSpiderkiss]

@@talkingbasslessons Wow thanks, great video!!!!

[@andriy.shmotolokha9090]

Thanks for this lesson Mark! Sorry for my silly question: how called this Black thing that reduce strings buzz (on the begining of the neck) and where to buy it?
Thank you!

[@jyotiradityaguleria907]

Just tie a sock or a scrunchie real tight at the top of the neck, that should do the job

[@drawebajo1750]

@@jyotiradityaguleria907 Thank you! Have a nice day!

[@synthexyguitar]

What are his pickups?

What bass is that?

[@j_brizuela]

First? Anyway, thanks Mark for all your work here 😁 Greetings from Spain!!

[@talkingbasslessons]

Thanks Jorge!

To play Thunderstruck on bass.

[@nixonkameen1581]

My hands aren’t big enough for any of this stuff

[@carlgustavjung1654]

Nixon Kameen This literally requires no hand stretching at all, it's less intensive than playing two notes right next to each other. Give it a go, you'll do great!

[@AViBWorship]

what ibanez bass model is this?

[@talkingbasslessons]

It's not Ibanez. It's Enfield.

[@shadowgun22]

Did you guys know that you can always grow out your plucking fingers’ nails to substitute for pick if you want to just work on increasing finger speed instead of using a pick. That’s what Rob Trujillo and Steve Harris do.

[@overall_loafer3858]

I am kinda confused

[@Fatman-1945]

Your head moves weird.

[@talkingbasslessons]

Yeah. That's because I'm a weirdo. Cheers

@@talkingbasslessons Love you mate. Haha. Just teasing

[@christianudesen2526]

Its hard to keep up when your talking so damn fast and i cant hardly see shit when literally your whole body is in the camera you shouldve just zoomed in on the important part and im using a left handed bass im trying to learn but videos like this make it a little dificult
