Thank God I started learning theory as soon as I started playing. It's ludicrous to say that learning theory hampers creativity, it simply makes no sense. Every "aha!" moment I've had while studying theory directly improved my playing, bass line construction, and gave me many, many new patterns and licks. Please, study theory through exercises, I'm sure that Dan's course is incredible!
This is one o to Dan Hawkins best videos he was in fire that lesson. Kicking out some great lessons ❤❤❤ Im sharing this time as Bass group who love playing Bass. Dan shows so many awesome videos teaching knowledge and learning the best way to play. I save most of Dan's videos. That way o can practice sll aspect I can ❤❤❤ Thank you always Dan
I love going back to these videos bu Dan Hawkins . This is a awesome valuable lesson n he plays with such finesse n smooth n wow he's so fast really solid on every single note too. Dan Hawkins is the best Bass teacher/ player ever ❤
Did I miss anything.? Man I had a heart attack last Sunday couple days ago. Thank God I had the best cardiac staff . I'm hoping I can play today. Except the stint went through my thumping hand . They went thru my side wrist to my heart ❤. L bruised n swollen. I'm excited to play again soon. I'm alive ty God.. Dan is the best. I would of played n the hospital bed watching Dan ❤
Many thanks to you friend. Total rookie here (started playing bass in May), and your videos and dedicated practice have helped me to become a passing bassist. At this point I'm a bit more Dee Dee Ramone than Les Claypool, but I'm enjoying learning bass from you...
Dan, thank you for your videos over the years and teaching me when I couldn't afford any lessons at all. Now that I can, I got your music theory course today. Keep doing what you're doing on UA-cam and helping others like me grow and learn.
This is a great lesson to help open up my range on the bass, I’m getting stuck in a pattern of basically box patterns and it will be great to try something completely different from what I’m practicing now to add some new tools and really give me a fresh perspective on how to improve my style. Thank you
Morning Dan.. you hit the nail right on the head, I too was not understanding how important it is to know all pentatonic scales and listen closely to what's being played around you .. after learning all pentatonic scales, I've always used it .. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Dan! The Greatest! My birthday is coming up and I am going to sign up for the Theory Course! And the best thing is that I get to email you personally. Thank you and Happy New Year!
I’ve got a grip on some aspects of music theory, but there are definitely holes in my education. Also, practical application seems to be difficult at times. Dan, I really like your teaching style in your UA-cam videos, so I just ordered your Music Theory For Bass Players course and can’t wait to dig in. Thanks again for these free UA-cam videos, your work is greatly appreciated!
Good morning, you are very good at what you doing with the lesson but I'm asking. Could you please slow it down a little bit I like listening to you and you give good points. Do everything but sometimes I'm looking at it. I'm trying to make out how where's your finger place that or is I try to catch it by ear?😊
Thanks. Yes I know I go too fast for some people (sorry!) but you can always rewind or even play it back half speed. Sometimes I’m just demonstrating a general point too.
Hi Dan, I don't read music, well slow reader, mostly technique gained from watching UA-cam, but I 'm familiar with tabs. What is your skill requirements to follow your online course?
Hi. Most people don’t read on bass so my course contains TAB (as well as notation) and fretboard diagrams. I do have a few sections that will help you learn to read if you want to but there’s no requirement to read music at all. It’s suitable for beginners as it starts easy. It then goes deeper but you can take it at your own speed.

I’ve just purchased the course. Excellent for the practical application of theory and rhythm and also quite fun. Great value for money!
Great to hear! Thanks so much for the positive comment.

Hello Dan, just purchased your new music theory course. Looking forward to chipping away at this.
Thanks, Robert! There’s a lot there so take it slow. 🙏🙏
Hi Dan, moving west, Steve in Chicago. Thank you for connecting the notes! Great session!
Thank you again Dam. Can't wait to try to learn everything you teach as best I can.
My pleasure. 🙏
Merci Dan!

You sure do! Happy birthday whenever it is…

Thanks, Glenn!
Morning from Florida Dan, thanks for the great lessons, always been an “ear” player but I’m learning so much from your channel ❤️
Happy to hear you’re learning from my channel! 🙏🙏
A great lesson that really shows how useful and practical knowing theory is! Thank you for sharing your backstory! Another fantastic video!
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial sir i've learned a lot of your video
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the support and enjoy the course!
wonderful lydian mode...we want more licks with lydian 👍✌
Love that mode!!
Bass sounds sick
This guy has to be a Lannister, he sounds just like the Kingslayer. lol. That’s all I can hear when I watch these videos. I love them though.
Isn’t that guy Scandinavian?? Anyway, I’m glad I don’t have a sister.
The best lesson about modes playing! What do you think about MusicMan Sterling Dan? Thx
Thanks! Never played one but I have heard good things about them. Definitely worth trying one if you can.
sir may i ask how can i identify those Emaj7 fminor 7 etc so i can learn it slowy here . thank you
I have some lessons on my channel that go deeper into arpeggios if you want to do a quick search. You’ll learn all the shapes and how to use them.
Good morning, you are very good at what you doing with the lesson but I'm asking. Could you please slow it down a little bit I like listening to you and you give good points. Do everything but sometimes I'm looking at it. I'm trying to make out how where's your finger place that or is I try to catch it by ear?😊
Thanks. Yes I know I go too fast for some people (sorry!) but you can always rewind or even play it back half speed. Sometimes I’m just demonstrating a general point too.
Hi Dan. When you are performing etc are you counting the bars or the rotations of the bass part?
It depends. Mostly feeling it and counting around the bass part. Always counting though even if it’s automatic.
Hi Dan, I don't read music, well slow reader, mostly technique gained from watching UA-cam, but I 'm familiar with tabs. What is your skill requirements to follow your online course?
