    I'm a guitar player and just got a bass for christmas to have fun on. This lesson is exactly what I needed. Very clear and concise lesson and it can be applied immediately to jams with friends. Thanks so much.

    I am an old guy and got "stuck" on bass as a guitar player as someone needed to play bass so I was the stuckee! Decades later I stopped being resentful and started to appreciate the role of the bass. But now I am trying to not just learn and play a song (I play out often) but to learn how to really feel a song. Less is more. This teacher has really helped this old guy. Thank you! I am now a Yonit Nitpicker!

    I love this lesson! Earlier this month I picked up my bass for the first time in over 25 years. 25 years ago these was no UA-cam just books and a teacher if you could afford one. But now there's so much bass tuition on UA-cam that it can be bewildering. So I've decided that for the immediate future to concentrate on just two areas; walking bass and jamming with the pentatonic/blues scale. So this lesson is just what I need; Christmas has come early; subscribed.

I’m more intermediate and still had to pull out my cheat sheet of chords. What you’re teaching is golden but show a closer view of your fingers and slow down a bit.

      An octave is 12 frets up. Moving up a string is the same as moving 5 frets up. So if you're playing on any fret on either of the two lowest strings you can find the octave two strings up and two frets up (5+5+2=12)

      That's part of the process. Even when I was learning guitar, before I was able to figure out progressions by ear, I was also watching how a musician plays it. I find it a bit more difficult for bass because notes are played separately, and a lot of the other notes can fit into it.

    Just throwing this out there. Folks commenting about how they need tabs instead of notes shouldn’t be trying to learn their neck yet. You gotta walk before you can run. And you’ll run further and more comfortably with a good pair of sneakers. Learning the names of notes and some basic theory will be the Nike Shocks to your bass playing. 🤘

    Why emphasize the major 7th tone of the scale more than the major 6th? I guess major 7 helps you turn the corner to the V chord, but I think I've always heard major 6th tones used more often in major phrases.

      @@Groovemyster I was also not totally serious... :) although I indeed studied classical music and Jazz.
      However, that did not catapult me to being a great bassist.
      But one thing that you really notice when you come from classical music - is that especially Bass is taught and approached very much by playing typical genre patterns / riffs, etc. That's why most beginners sound pretty similar until each develops some personal flavour.
      If you learn Cello, that's "similar" to base guitar... in classical music you play 99% from notes, complicated stuff that gives you a marvelous technique. That's generally in classical music with all instruments... which is a huge advantage compared to the approach of most musicians who play "modern" music.

    good practice routine, i certainly see that value in them. but doing this, you will only learn and memorize the e and a string, since you rely on shapes for the d and g stings. you did not make it clear, but do you imply already knowing all you 3rds, 5ths and 7ths in major and minor for a specific root note? i could get behind that. i am working on my neck since almost a year with a similar technique you showed in the beginning (how to not do it). i play for all c notes between the 1st and 12th threat on all strings from top to bottom and back and then going through the whole cycle of 5ths while singing the note names out loud. i have some success with it, but it consumes a lot of practice time and i am not satisfied with the progress in relation to the time i have to spend. since i play guitar and bass for several years, i have my e and a string down pretty good as well as most important scale shapes and triads. do you think it makes more sense to just get my stuff together and memorize the note names for all intervals in major and minor? like knowing this instantly: c major go: c, e, g, h, c (for the 3rd, 5th and 7th for example). right know, for these shapes and triads, i know the interval i am relative to the root, but not the name of the notes of these intervals.

    • @sebastianvega4576
      @sebastianvega4576 3 роки тому

      generally you can look at it like this: a chord contains a number of notes, in most cases 3 or 4. every scale that contains these 3 or 4 notes can be play over it and will sound "good". according to the scale you have used, it gets a different taste. especially as a bass player, you can influence a lot of the overall flavor with your choice. you are on the green as a bass player if you move the shape to the root note of the chord and than use the same shape suited to the chord type. than you play your root, the octave, the 5th and other intervals as you see fit. that works great and is very often used in pop music. the a minor scale and c major scale do contain the exact same notes, but the representive chords do not. try playing an a minor arpeggio (a-c-e) vs a c major one (c-e-g) over a c chord. it is wild what the bass is doing with the overall feel of that harmony :) and that is just a very simple example. also, sometimes you want that crunchy dissonance, that is up to your taste, if you think that still sounds good or not. so, basically, everything goes with everything :) it is just a matter of using it tastefully and that is of course subjective. hope my babbeling makes sense to you somehow :)
