Don’t give away 1 piece of super gear...give EVERYONE a metronome instead!
Thanks,
A drummer.
:-P
Don’t even give them a metronome, if they have a phone, they have a metronome. they don’t even need a phone, you could do it on your computer.
I laughed out loud!
Oprah is right!
A nice metronome would be awesome. It doesn't have to be expensive, but there's something about analog metronomes that are beautiful
Spot on. It doesn't matter that you can play a million notes a minute if none of them are on the beat. A bassist playing simple root notes with excellent timing is a better bassist than someone shredding through arpeggios and scales with no timing.
I know I've played well when the drum and bass sound like one instrument
starts at 2:17.
you skipped the Attenborough impression?
Thanks
The Wadsowrth constant is in full effect in all of Scott's videos.
Thanks. There is a lot of irrelevant bull. Just likes the sound of his own voice I think lol
Thank u lol
Scott is so good, I watch the complete advertisements out of respect.
Bryan Hatch you’re wasting your time. He only gets paid if you click them.
@Derrick Focal Dystonia
That's now how it works 😁
Yes!! You are the man. Coming on 5 years now I have been jaw droppingly watching and studying your groove work Mr. Devine! I have watched all your videos over and over each one probably greater than 20. Thank you for helping me to understand the art of the groove.
A Carl Thompson bass! Beautiful pieces of art and monster basses.
Thank you for all of the free lessons on youtube scott, you're a fantastic teacher!
This video answered all my beginner questions! Im a long time guitar player and really digging into the bass lately trying to learn properly. In this video you mention that on the high string you are not bouncing off of the string but rather playing THROUGH it. I was wondering why i couldnt do the thumb up technique at all and this helped me solve that issue!
Here’s a Jaco quote Scott. “”If i wanted to slap I’d play my drums”
That's funny :)
The tip comparing the slap to your leg bouncing was really helpful!
Loved impression of David Attenborough in the beginning :D
Scott you bring the fun back to being a bassist. Thank You!
your lessons are great! Thank you for making them available for free!
Very instructive, as usual... You're a life saver for me! ;-)))
I don’t know English vell, but I understand all your videos without subtitles! Respect for you lessens 👍
I’ll go to practice double thumbing))
I really like the lessons. Thank you sir. I'm just a beginner for bass guitar.
Thank you so much, I have had trouble with hitting other strings since day one.
Rickenbacker all the way.
Always wanted one. It’s like a work of art. 🤙🏻
ricks are sexy
@@thailai3277 Concur.

What part of good video you don't understand?
@@carlosvillegas8775 the language
Scott's very own favourite bass - signed and delivered.
Scott m8 I have been watching ur videos while ago and just wonder if I ever be able to watch all as it seems like I need a lifetime that’s how many hours on here and on SBL [im a lifetime member]. Respect for the work u guys doing here and thanks for the music. High five ✋
Dingwall NG2 5 string!!!!
Sad that I missed the Darkglass giveaway 😔
Alembic Stanley Clarke Deluxe 1995 Rosewood or similar Alembic style basses
Awesome. Thanks for clearing up the thumb angle and the play through on the G string!
That marcus miller v7 is already a great give away especially used and coming from a talented and well know bass teacher like yourself will be an honor
Can you play on a rickenbacker 4003 ? That would be insane !
“The old slappy slappy”, has me rollin son 😭😭😭
The thump position point was very good. I must put this into practice! Thanks for the great tip! :)
Now it comes naturally and I can do double thump, douple pop pretty well.
An awesome lesson again.
A Takamine TB 10 would absolutely blow my mind of, but an Ibanez SRH505 fretless is a great one either.
The Music Man StingRay 4 Neck Through would be a killer bass to give away (especially for me hehe)
José Roberto Azevedo 4H or 4HH. Love my for HH bolt on stingray!
Man, I found some videos os this bass other day, I had never heard of, and I just loved it. Unfortunately it is expensive as hell. Congratulations for your bass haha
I dont think ive seen a rickenbacker bass on here before!
Yeah, also this. A Rickenbacker 4003W giveaway would be incredible.
Lemmys rickenbacker
Or a Mark King Jaydee. Its always a jazz or precision. Most with flat wound dead sounding strings. Nice sound from this though.
Richenbacker 4003 would turn me on
The Most Helpful Bassist Channel for me😁
Best slap bass intro ever! Thank you. Now I just have to get plenty of the ole slappy-slappy...
5 STRING Rickenbacker 4003 in Fireglo color
A fodera emperor would be sick for a giveaway!
Great lesson again Scott! The Warwick Starbass Lee Sklar Signature would be awsomelyawesome!
love this. it would be fanfreakingtastic to maybe see a Marleaux BassGuitars like the Consat Soprano.
Dingwall would be great!
Rickenbacker as well!
It's been a while since this video came out, but I've always dreamt of owning an explorer shaped bass 😍
im gonna mod a dean metalman
just found these lessons and fantastic .. 30 years and still learning.. 2 things though on this one - Check out the Larry graham stuff - He was a 2 finger pull of man, does give a slightly tighter "Snap" on the higher pulls also.. Flea's style is special as he "rocks" his hand to use both thumb and pinky to slap and middle finger to pull "Higher Ground" is a prime example - but as stated his low guitar position makes this to work..
Thanks alot. I enjoy your videos. You really know your stuff.
Victor Wootens Ying Yang bass ! :D
Also a Rickenbacker 4003
Beaut video mate...love the humor too. A good lesson this to learn slap and pop - I'll get into slapping the back ( of the bass...) first !
The last base Prince Rogers Nelson Hair Design the purple one with the tubing that in composite, but I do like that Esquire you got it breaks my heart I hope I win something you're a great musician love you videos they helped me out a lot
Carl Thompson bass giveaway
A Custom Wal bass? It's just too expensive to give away though
Thank you so much for the tip about slapping the D en G string! Just what I needed! At this moment I'm studying "Blast" from Marcus Miller which has a melody played on those strings, but I just couldn't get the sound right. OK. Back to practice again....
Scott you are an inspiration to me, a pity I do not totally master English, to be able to listen to all your videos, I'm Brazilian and I always follow your channel, big hug
Musicman stingray bass give away
Sadowsky Jazz Bass
Those basses are heavenly
Thank you for the tips! :D
Your review on darkglass pedals the alpha and omega blows my mind. 😊
Please i want the bass amp ! :3
Edit: oh it's the two year anniversary of this video... Didn't notice !
That New Ibanez bass that is hybrid fretless.
That would blow my mind.
Ibanez SRAS7
I think more overwater bass overviews would be so cool. Also I would love that darkglass 900. That thing is amazing.
Thanks for the G String tips.
If you had an Aria Pro II signature Cliff Burton to give away, I would be amazed. That would be impressive for sure.
Marleaux Diva, Consat or Soprano... one can dream :)
I like Marleaux Bass too, but I`ll never can afford such a dream...
Thanks for the information.
Ken Smith.... thx for this lessons its really great, you help !! ))
Flea's signature fender jazz bass
Taco Pup yes yes yes
Hell yes!
I'm a big chilies fan but fleas basses are awful
LJCKILLJOY! The new fender ones not bad. Just a roadworn jazz bass
I just got one, they are super comfortable to play and sound wicked!
came here to watch a lesson on slappin and now Listening to "I wanna be like you".
Ha....me too!
Loved the advice, I'm still crap at slap, lol.
Definitely a Rickenbacker 4003 / 4003W, I'd kill for one!
This video helps me to fix it... Nice job 👍
I'm a simple guy. I don't need a Fodera or anything. Give me a good G&L and I'll be set for life.
The ol slappy slappy hmm?😂 lol dude ??? Sounds like an obscenely, 🆒 technic do demonstrate. An amoon bass give away would be sick. I'm just joking that purple Prince bass like whoa, I would die for that.
Best bass guitar instructional channel ever. Great job. Giveaway an NYC Sadowsky!!!
love to see you play the Dingwall Bass!
What do you do with all your right hand gloves ?
Alcsbiker ...he uses it on his left hand.... those gloves are ambidextrous
That wide smile when he say "through that G string" at 9:00
Cool videos, very insightful, greatly appreciate what you're doing! As far as gear, not sure what you've gone through in the past, but I've been curious about Eden's WTP series or Mesa Boogie's small Tube Head and MTD basses as I wanted an old original Tobias that I've never managed to get my hands on...
Rickenbacker 4003 Midnight Blue
Thank you very much for your videos. I learn a lot with them. Thanks, Scott! :-)
a damn 5 string dingwall :D
Yaaaassss
Ichbins yeet
Oh yeahhhh I was going to say a 5 string dingwall
I have one on the way! Never been so excited
lol i was going to say it as well. I already have mine...buuuuuuut i want another....ANOTHER
Dingwall bass + darkglass b7k
0-0-00-0-00-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-00-0-0-0-0-00-0-000-00 djent? prog metal?
just picked up a bass and there's so much to learn... but I love it
Thanks for the helpful video and the jokes that go along with.
The piece of gear that would blow my mind is either a Vanderkley stack or a Divided By 13 stack.
A lefty bass, we lefties don't get any bass
+about 1000 to THAT!!! … except that I play a leftie bass strung right-handed.
(Hmm … didn't think that through, did I?!!)
the New World King at least he's playing Sire ... not only is Sire awesome but they have everything in lefty too...but a lefty giveaway I doubt will happen :(
Not a lefty, but totally get it
I play a left-handed bass. I just tell everyone that it's just broken......
+1. I own 2 lefty Sires. they're my main gigging basses.
Any custom Warwick!
Júlio Salotti Warwick Vampyre
Yeah! Just watch Andy Irvine's video on it if there's any doubt
fbass bn5. But only if I win it for suggesting it.
Lol any top line fodera bass we are talking up too 14k for one of them
Júlio Salotti r
One of the best slap lesson
Dude Scott Divine you doing a David Attenborough impression completed my life. I am at peace
I would love to see an Alembic Mark King signature bass as a give away.
YES the baddest Alembic of them all
The flea bass
Dingwall and Adam “Nolly” Getgood for a NG2. Those things are a work of art
I wish I could take your lessons... I learned how to play basic level playing since I was a 9 years old and only played bass at church or when coming across a jam session... And haven't really progressed in any way because I've never actually owned a bass... but man to even come halfway close to your level of playing would be amazing
A Modulus Funk Unlimited bass
Liam Johannesson Absolutely
the fondera emperior5 deluxe
Helpful and hilarious. Thank you!
Great job on the #1 slap bass mistake. As for gear, in the category of "Awesome Class," I suggest the very amp I've grown to love (it sounds so rich and has been my go-to for two years now): Gallien-Krueger MB (alleged) 500W; I own the 2x10" w/horn. Personally, I'd like let's see...flight arrangements, room and board and about a dozen 45-min sessions with Scott Devine.
Music man stingray would be unreal to giveaway
1951 Fender P bass
Nicely done, sir!
I nearly broke my wrist years ago and have had issues with limited mobility since then. I'm hoping to work out those issues so I can improve upon not just slapping, but being able to play the bass in general as it's become my hobby over the last year and a half.
How you doing with it?
Either a Rickenbacker 4001 or 4003
Fender American Dimension Bass. It's a new design that isn't a precision or jazz or anything. It's got a new body shape too and pretty universal
Why don't you mention Mark King here when it's talk about regulare slapping and not double thumb. Mark King uses a angle that is perfect for this kind of practise and he has techniques that is way cooler then Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten visa versa, you must never forget Mark Kings role in history as one of the greatest slapper of em all.
I agree. I get the impression Mark King is just not cool in some circles for reasons that I don't fully get. I'm not saying this is the case on this video as I have no idea but I think some modern professional players think he's too cliched or predictable to mention. My goodness though 'A physical Presence' live album from 1985 has some of the finest slap ever on it!
Mark King has some technique, but his solos are embarrassing because it's not musical in any way really.
@@jameswhite7997 God on a JayDee, and such a nice lovely person too.
Excellent thank you!
Ibanez sr series its so amazing the design and the sound of it it would probably blow mind..
Warwick thumb 6, please!
A Warwick 5 string bass
Wish for a model other than the "Rockbass." Maybe you'll love it, but I found it inferior in too many ways to the German (and yes, therefore more expensive) models.
Wow awesome lesson. Thanks!
Hughes and kettner quantum head! Also... awesome vid you're killing it right now!!!!
