Dude, I've been noodling around for days trying to sort out a good walk down and turn around. I was totally overthinking it and this is so clean and simple. Thank you!
I used to this that about 20 years ago... however when I buddy of mine pointed out how important he is in the genesis of music my view completely changed. Also tears in heaven... what a beautiful accomplished piece of music.
@@ebassguitar I'm afraid I have to agree with the comment stating that the way this material is presented is very frustrating. It is also frustrating that among all the bass teachers on UA-cam, everybody presents it the same frustrating way. I could see an absolute beginner getting discouraged. I played 40 years ago, but it was a lot of punk and improv stuff and I never learned the proper way, so here I am. I'm intelligent and already know the fretboard, but I want to pull my hair out from watching the youtube bass teachers. You are better than some of the others, but still frustrating. Some channels will include tabs, but I have to watch these lessons on my phone and tabs are so small, they are useless. I got frustrated with another channel and proposed the idea of showing a graphic of a fretboard (using digital graphics, large blank paper or a chalkboard) to teach a run or fill, etc. You can still include video of yourself playing the piece, then say "Here's how to do it".... Then mark the first note of the piece digitally or chalk or whatever on the graphic fretboard and say "first note is a G on the 3rd fret E string". Then a few seconds later, repeat the process for the second note....and on and on. This would only take a minute! And you could include a series of fretboard images on a PDF. Using this method, somebody who never touched a bass could follow along easily. It could instantly be inspirational. They would only need to know the names of the strings. If you were a beginner, would you rather try to read tabs or watch somebody's confusing fingering ........or would you like to see a simple fretboard with each note boldly highlighted in sequence? I have yet to find a bass teacher doing it this way on youtube, but I did find a 6-string guitar player who showed a scale trick he liked using a digital graphic fretboard as I described. He actually showed all the notes at once, then lit them up one at a time digitally. Very slick, but it didn't need to be high tech. But.... it was of limited usefulness for bass guitar. I'd love to see you teach the jam you do at the very beginning of this video using my idea. Sorry for the long rant.
Great lesson for a guitarist getting into bass too!😊
that SIRE bass is nice!
I like it! It’s getting a new set of string in a couple of days :-)
boaa valeu mano

Q: Who was the bassist on the original recording with Bo Didley?
I ***think*** it was Willie Dixon... but I wouldn’t want to be quoted on that. Anybody else know for sure?
eBassGuitar - Online Bass Guitar Lessons it probably was Willie Dixon.
I can't stand Eric Clapton so over rated

ua-cam.com/video/iXn_wQlsq-Q/v-deo.html Can go to the original tune
🤦♂️
And of course you're so underrated...
who cares what you think
Thank you! This was a great lesson!
I wish you would have called out the string and fret numbers. Very frustrating trying to follow.
I will take note of that! Thanks for pointing that out.
