i was self-taught and can relate to almost all of this, great video for beginners
Been "playing" and learning for two years. Realized I'm just having fun and not really laying down the foundation. Thanks for the video. Reminds me of paying the price prior to playing. Cheers.
Thank you so much for this video, I just picked up my first bass, it’s day 3 for me and my wrist HURTS. Which I know is par for the course, but I have to say it was discouraging.
I’m still going to practice the one finger per fret method for good measure and finger strength, but I’m glad to hear that it’s not the only way, since I was feeling much more comfortable with moving around the fret board more.
All the tips were super valuable for me, thanks again!
Awesome to hear @StickyMaros - glad you got something out of it all!
Great advice 👍
Love the new background. Glad to see the content is back after silence for 6+ months
Great advice for any musician !
Thank you. I put the bass down months ago-so frustrated. But this video makes me want to pick it up again.
Thanks for your common sense approach. I have only been learning to play the bass for a couple of months , but have given up on the one finger per fret exercises. I got fed up of the pain in my wrist and fingers as i tried to contort my left hand into a position it clearly did not want to be in. Now i micro shift , and keep my wrist nice and straight , hey presto no more pain ! I still try to one finger per fret on the D and G strings , but i am giving up on the E and A strings , i dont think that it is worth the pain and long term health risks.
Beautiful Spector!
exactly what i have been asking
Really great video Luke! Even as an experienced player, it's always good to be reminded of the things that can get in the way of your playing and how to fix them. I love the advice at around 9:30 when you talk about using theory as a map. I think some of my most creative bass lines were in my younger days when I "didn't know the rules". Once I learned some theory, I became conscious of "the rules" and making sure every note "fits". That's not always the case for a good bass line. And I love that quote how music theory is to explain music, not create it. I also love the advice of playing with others and also not comparing yourself to others, which is so common in today's social media age.
All in all, some really great advice. And lessons to be learned at all levels. Thanks for sharing this Luke.
I think a LOT of players go through a similar thing with the theory @thomasfioriglio - know I did. I'm glad I got past it though. I see some musicians who actively avoid learning anything theory-related because they worry that it would affect their creativity precisely *because* they see music theory as a set of rules, which is a shame.
Greatly put, I think a lot of these fall into my lifelong mantra of "there's a time and place for everything" and "different strokes for different folks".
Don't forget poor posture can really mess up your back.
And poor spelling can really mess up your meaning.
@@Zerpersande A ruptured disc is much harder to fix. Stay on topic. They teach that in school as well.
Agree I gotta focus on that more tbh
@@JonathanWhoeverapparently they dont teach comedy lmaooo
Since I have slowed down and I don't jump around like a pogoing idjit anymore. I have realised one embarrassing thing... I don't know how to stand normally 😆
My back is a mess because I'm so awkward with it.
As a newbie to bass strap properly set up , try play standing up
This is great advice @michaelforde4373 - I have a (very old) video about that exact thing here: ua-cam.com/video/FXUYikKwYgQ/v-deo.html
The lick feature 🔥
Gotta have it!
Great video. Like how you’ve added more comedy
Thanks @MC-qe5qb - this was a fun one to make.
Can you do a tutorial for boogie oggie oggie by taste of honey?

Whole fun is to play with others. Especially playing with better guys is great to "hide" your weaknesses ;-)
Being the _least_ experienced person in the band was always where I learned the most @xiaokang8692. The more experienced people helped me sound better and also let me see where I needed to up my own game.
@@BecomeABassistas perfect amateur I had a band over 30 years ago, paying hard indie rock (fast distorted noise). Today I play with good musicians, some of them music teachers, even if the music is not my favorite. Experience and development ;-)
Sexy muting bit was great 😂
Sharp angles and too much pressure can definitely screw up your plucking hand as well. Currently going through a golfers elbow kind of thing.
Hi Sir,
What model of Bass are you using?
In this video it's a Spector Euro LX
Lately, I've been dealing with tendonitus in my right forearm and elbow.
I knew this guy so up himself playing bass cause he was self taught but no one told him how to mute it drove my up the wall when I saw him live he thinks being taught I was a lesser person muting was first thing I learnt
Definitely had and have those injuries. Plus sore back. I really need to see an actual teacher to get this stuff ironed out
Having lessons with an experienced teacher could definitely help @kelbot84 - I'd highly recommend it.

I am the frustrated Bassist #1
Keep the thumb behind the neck! DON'T SQUEEZE wood! The thumb of left hand (fingering hand) should NEVER show above theneck or grabbing the neck. NEVER!
Yeah, but so and so does that. So what. Don't do it.
I love that bass
