Great tips, thank you
i have been playing bass since 1984 and guitar since 1975 always played a 4 string bass but i ordered a 5 string which i should receive soon!! thanks for your video !! i just want to extend my range a bit !! Those 5 extra notes are going to be useful i just have to get used to it!! Hopefully not too frustrating!!
Very cool!
Great tips, I’ll start using my B string more tastefully now…
thanks
Five-string bass allows you to play easier. How? Imagine that you have a capo on fifth fret and play everything five frets closer to the bridge, on the neck portion where frets are much closer, just like you play short scale bass. You'll be able to play easier, faster, and you will have the feeling of four-string bass playing, because you start from first string from the top.
Great tips I'm waiting for my five string to come in and have never played it before. You're right I never thought of using the b string that way.
Baby steps and before you know it, you're a five string bass player!
I had a little trouble at first, because my hands kept going for that 5th string as an E. I then set on a series of 4-string bass exercises so my hands would automatically know where strings 1 through 4 were. Then it was easy to adapt. I'm sticking with 5 string, especially since much of my music goes down to deep C or even B.
We have to have that low C and B. I totally agree.
I'm a noob. You're very funny and this is extremely helpful. Excellent !
Thanks for checking it out!
Great tips. Love hearing you play. This is great content.
Thanks 🙏 🎸 🌟
Wow, very interesting. I really learned a lot from the part where you were explaining that stuff. Thanks!
Does that make sense?
**me once again looking at a Dingwall because of this video.**
Also, unrelated, Tyler 4:45 to 4:49 coulda been a jump cut brother. Loving the content! Keep up the good work.
@@blargety thanks. I have to fix that immediately
I bought a 5 string exactly for the low B (in my case, A#) so i could play Monuments. So after a while i decided to tune my 4 string with heavy gauges because i never used my high strings...
So you are playing on a 4 string tuned B-E-A-D?
@@tylerrayhughes Drop A# specifically but yeah, im using the bottom 4 strings from a 5 string set
@@gustavomazonave8536 that awesome. I need try setting one up like that.
I think my bass has 5 strings. How can I be sure?
Search within for the answer
😂
Internet might help I don't know 👍🤣
🤣🤣Funny tips! They are GREAT!
Thanks!
Not playing the B string is so me lol
Im totally used to play 5 strings but its ao rare for the musics that i played to sounds good with the low low end
And a lot of times i feel like, why do i even use 5s 😅
I can go for like 3 weeks of constant playing without ever playing it at all
So to remedy that feeling of uselessness i usually hit the B string on practices
But you’re still looking super cool with a 5 string! Keep rocking.
To me, the five string bass has always been an easier to play one
Nice having that built in thumb rest aye?
my gibson eb5 is a little beat up but was little over $700. cheap its a gibson. nice F bass. have a good day.
This is my favorite comment so far lol
Third idea , not bad.
Are the first two a joke?
I came up with the tip because i started on a 6 string and never played the outer strings. People still considered me a 6 string player. Just trying to help new players bridge the gap.
Great video, appreciate the info....................but I have a question - why is your bass tuned down a 1/2 step? I have perfect pitch so I noticed it right away based on your finger positions - perhaps it's a unintended result of the video upload?
In one of the groups I perform with we sometimes play 10 shows in a week. Tuning the instruments down a half step really helps us out vocally through the year. I should have tuned up for the video
@@tylerrayhughes - got it, totally understand. BTW, I am also a big Harley Benton fan as well............I have the B-550FL (5 string fretless), what a incredible value! Sounds great, looks great - I bought it to give my students a little exposure to the fretless world (I've been teaching bass for years at a arts college in Southeast Asia), but I also enjoy gigging with it too. I still use my trusty Fender J Bass, but I'm truly impressed with the quality of Harley Benton for the price! Keep up the great work Tyler, looking forward to more of your videos!
shame, that the only, actually good piece of advice comes at 5:00...
I really like the one about using you B string as an anchor. I bet you had lots of string buzz when you started on a 5
Who cares what people think about their playing a five string?
