How do you keep yourself excited about learning bass, so you don’t get crushed by THE RESISTANCE? 👊
I get crushed. Then I'll try and try and till I'm crushed again
I go back over some old lessons and ramp it up again. It's like taking a few steps backwards then running at the closed door. Resistance is futile! (unless you are 7 of 9).
Find a pro expensive bass teacher (not a guitar teacher), keep seeing him
idk but i just got my first 🐟🎸 2day🥱
Thank you for this video @BassBuzz! I was just thinking about what to do next in terms of learning and who knows what would've happened if you released this video some days later 😅
The bleeped out “guitar” 😆
Cracked me up.
xDD
Where?

Thankfully i have a tall youtuber bass teacher with strong jawline
But does he have a banana tattoo?

Hello All ,
Bass Buzz Is More Than Simply Learning Songs - My name is Travis and I am the actual student at the 10:06 time stamp in this brilliant episode here. I happily joined Bass Buzz in August of 2020 and the support by Josh Man , The Forum , And Other Noobies was unexpected and a pleasant surprise. Just began playing in front of others Spring of 2023 as I worked through the Bass Buzz program at my own pace. I highly recommend researching Bass Buzz and begin your Bad A$$ adventure pronto.
Seriously, if you have any hesitation , ask me. I will answer any of your questions to the best of my ability or I will definitely ask your question in the forum section so that we share concrete proven advice with you all. I have zero regrets and I am so thankful that I signed up to become a Bass Buzz Bad A$$.
Stay Rowdy ,
Cheers
Nice! I’m the guy at 10:10 - agreed B2B is the best out there. Rock on brother! 🤘

Nice one guys! I'm in there too, the guy with the blue sprayed hair. We're in the UK and our band is called SWIM. Stay bassy all! 😊
@@travisreed5965 That clip is of The PonTunes, a party band out of Cincinnati OH. I’ve since moved away they are still going strong.
Agreed also a bass buzzer. The best!
For those of you considering getting Josh's beginner course, I did a few weeks ago and have ZERO regrets. Do it!
Same here🙋♂️
Same! I'm cheap but this was great value for money!
The timing of this video dropping was too perfect. Just reached a mind bloc on my progress and I desperately needed something like this.
Ikr I just ordered a bass like 2 days ago and this drops.
same, i’ve been thinking about how i wish bass buzz made a video like this for a while
Same I just had a breakdown from terrible online lessons and the. Then I find this
The production you put into your videos is kinda insane.
Yeah, it's not just great content but great delivery and presentation as well.
When I started learning bass again I watched all the bass education UA-camrs and I ended up purchasing Josh's course because of videos like this. I never got the sense that Josh hides the good stuff behind a paywall, even his free videos have all of these carefully curated resources and PDFs.
He is an amazing teacher!
Hey! @alexandergimbel9784 How good is it the course? I’ve been tempted to purchase it but it’s kinda pricey 😬 or ay least I’m too broke to spend 200 bucks just like that
Videos like this are exactly why I started the Beginner to Badass course three weeks ago. Such a great course! Made it through Billy Jean a couple of days ago (finally!!!!) and I am always stoked to get to the next lesson and look forward to playing every day. Seriously, if you want to learn, and the ability to get the lessons, it is SO worth it. I grew up playing music (trombone) in middle school and high school and Josh is honestly one of the better instructors I have had. Thank you, Sir!
Well done, indeed! Most people have an aneurysm when they hit Billy Jean that takes them weeks to overcome!
I’m self taught so far and I now see the spaghetti mess of how I’ve approached learning. Wow. Now I see all the dead ends I keep running into. I know little bits of lots of stuff.
I've been playing the guitar since I was 7, and the bass since I was 22...( I'm 64)...learned how to read by the time I was 9, but felt at the time that learning scales and fundamentals was slowing me down, so I quit lessons and started learning by listening to records (The Beatles, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, Simon and Garfunkle, America, The Eagles, Jackson Browne, Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd....you get the idea)...I enjoy your videos because you make excellent points for noobs as well as experienced players - don't give up, practice, push through the difficult lessons, learn as much as you can...This has helped me throughout my career as a bassist as well as a guitarist. I've toured as a pro out of Nashville with some pro Nashville acts, and I've been lucky enough to have played in a million bars...there is nothing without music, and it's SO much more fun if YOU'RE making the music...
Keep up the good work, and LISTEN TO THIS DUDE...HE KNOWS HIS STUFF...
I used to think that half the people promoting the bass buzz course were bots. But what the hell, I bit the bullet and gave it a shot. I’m not even half way done, and I’ve been having so much fun after module 4. Worth it. And thanks Josh!
Agree!
Interesting; I too bought the course after having deep-dived his back catalogue and never really questioned the reviews -- the course is like his vids, but better. Less flash, steady content, but still with the trademark humor.
hi Josh, I am on the second run of your Beginner to badass course. I am extremely pleased with the results and am anxiously waiting for you to release a new course from intermediate to advanced. PLEASE let us know something, I don't want to end up in someone else's clutches
Got to step 20 and had to stop the video to go and pick up my bass. Which I hadn't played in almost a year. You are something else, Josh, never stop teaching, your love for bass is just contagious. Thank you for reminding me I love playing music.
Confession time: I started guitar 25 years ago starting from step 55. It was really hard for me to go back to the basics and relearn everything the proper way. Then I moved to bass, and luckily most of what I learned can be transferred to this instrument (apart from plucking, which I really sucked at first). Thanks Josh for preventing people like me from learning the wrong way!
Most people are bad at plucking their first time. But if you pluck around enough, eventually you find out.
@@TheHatchet2
😂😂😂😂😂
@@TheHatchet2 Yup, my problem was flying finger syndrome--literally couldn't fret one note without other fingers flapping like wings on a bird.
Steps 35 to 41 are what success looks like to me. 10:05: I love the highlight of the actual students!!! ❤
Oh wow I'm in this video at the 00:18 second mark!
This channel, Josh himself and the lessons have helped me get better in a big way. I learned how to slow things down to get it right and increase the difficulty and keep working at it and it has helped me keep motivated and learn things that I thought I'd never get better at like octave shapes, string switching and not cutting off notes when they need to ring out. I started the b2b course in late september and finished in about a month and a half and since then I have learned about 20 songs I owe a lot of it to those lessons, the community on bassbuzz and the lessons from the videos on this channel to help me get started!
that is a beautiful blue burst instrument you have there sir...
I learned playing Bass 8 years ago pretty intensively, but still, i watch every video of yours because they are really good and often still have many good tips!
Beginner to Badass is a great course. I wish my bass instructor 20 years ago had been as helpful and as awesome as Josh. Thank you for doing what you do!
My name is Jason and I took Josh's Beginner to Badass Course two and a half years ago, and I highly approve of it. Worth the cost, and I still go back to check the chord charts and tabs for the songs he wrote up. Please check it out.
Thanks Josh, and thank you for continuing to put out useful free content here as well!
Wow, that pdf is a treasure trove of bass goodness. Thank you Josh for sharing all this.
I really appreciate this. Thank you so much!
Beginner to Badass turned me into a bass playing Nana. Plus I had SO much fun. More please amazing Joss!
Very informative video. Thank you for this. I now look out for every video you post and share the link with friends.
As someone starting and saving to get the full experience as a self birthday present, this video and the guideline is highly appreciated to know which while to walk meanwhile. Thanks Josh.
Thank you, Josh! You are a true mensch and inspiration!
Your videos are fantastic! Very well produced! Thanks
This is one of the best videos you've posted, and that's saying alot. I've learned so much already by subscribing. This video is something I am going to commit some serious time to studying. I am an older beginner, but I've been playing 4 years already, and I play in my church's worship band. One of the great things about that is that I get to develop my ability to fit into a band scenario and add to it!
Keep up the great work!!
Thank you for making this video and the PDF Josh, I have a lot of respect for you and the team for making these videos and providing a lot of value. You helped inspire me to get into bass in the first place!
Josh is a kick ass teacher. I took his B2B course, and loved it. Josh you're the man! Thank you for your kick ass instruction.
As always, very instructive, inspiring, and also fun.
I've been stuck lately, not knowing what to do with all the information on the internet about playing bass and music in general. I watched a lot of videos on the BassBuzz channel, but it's easy to lose track of the order in which to learn. But this video gave me a steady path to follow! I'll start playing bass again when my summer vacation starts.
Thank you so much for this video
Hi Josh. Your beginner to badass course is the best I've come across, hands down. I'm learning bass, guitar and piano atm (yes at the same time) so I've brought a handfull of online courses and yours is by far the best.
Yeah! I am just waiting til I have the time and money to start the beginner to badass course. With life and kids and all, both are scarce but it WILL happen. Until then I play the base notes of the chords with my little band, but even that is fun because I have waited 7 years to even pick up the beautiful bass I bought. Love your videos, you're an amazing teacher.
Great video Josh. Loved you B2B course. You da bomb 😁
Bass buzz is WELL worth the money, I love it! I appreciate how you make these videos too, seriously you’ve helped me so much
This is easily the best beginner bass video I have watched so far. Its easily understandable, the pacing is excellent, and the information provided is to the point and dosent bog down the video in unnecessary detail. Plus, I enjoyed the humor and analogies. Thank you for making it.
I’ve been trying to teach myself bass for almost two years (your vids have been a HUGE part of it!) and this video will be incredibly handy for me to use to reference things I need to go back and work on - which is a fair bit! Most importantly, though, this also made me realise how far I’ve come. There are elements of each stage I’m fairly comfortable with, which I find insane to think about, and realising that has put a bit of a spring in my step this morning! Maybe I’ll pick a point and once I’m comfortable with everything up to it, I’ll finally treat myself to a nice shiny new bass. Thank you!
This is a gold mine of a resource! Thank you so much. 100% Badass
Josh is the best! Period! There are good Bass teacher and courses out there, but no one is better than Josh and his BassBuzz BTB course. He knows how to teach in a way that is fun and never overwhelming, he likes whats he is doing; is not all about the money.
BazzBuss Beginner to Bad Ass has a ton of features for an unbelievable price, just compare the cost benefit vs the other "famous" bassists. I've learned a lot with you Josh, thank you very much, keep up the good work!
I’ve been wanting such a video since the first day of playing as I am almost a self-taught bass player. Huge thanks and credits to you 🤝
Really cool and motivating, thanks Josh! 💖
I feel really proud to have accomplished most of these things but I’ll never forget Josh saying he wish he played in his 20s more but now I’m 20 and I don’t want to stop playing I vow to stay strong against the resistance
Hello from Wales UK, i just wanted to let you know how much i enjoy watching / learning on your channel, im 56 and just brand new to bass, but already have 3 basses 2 practice amps 2 ashdown cabs and 2 ampeg cabs and 5 bass head amps, and way too many pedals and leads, but hey, im looking for my tone right?🤣😂🤣and always pays to be prepared right!? 😂, and i really do appreciate your time and effort to help uber noobs like me 👍 so huuuuuuuge thanks and respect to you buddy.
Thanks Josh, I rally enjoy your lessons and humor. I'm just here watching your lessons, while waiting on my first bass, after playing guitar for decades. Can't wait to start, I orderded a Squire Classic vibe P Bass in Sunburst. The big advantage is that I can watch first and learn allready what to look at when starting bass. I hope to get it soon, but allready ordered it like 2 months ago.
I’m a flutist and pianist and my bass will get here tomorrow 💙 I am so excited to learn!!
Thank you so much !!
You’re the goat Josh, I’ve mostly learned how to play bass from your videos and you just keep putting out great resources for people to learn
The bassbuzz course is amazing. I would highly recommend it to anyone learning bass. It was my first instrument so I was very intimidated but Josh made it very easy.
I always enjoy these videos and always learn something.
I have taken Beginner to Badass and it’s an amazing course!! Learned so much
yes so glad you finally posted
Good stuff, as always!
I’ve been playing on and off since I was a child. I haven’t played a lot in a long time so when I get back I go back to the basics
You’ve definitely helped
you sir are THE MAN! This is easily the best video and guide explaining what to do, and how to do it! Great work! Subscribed ✅
Your videos are so good
100% recommend beginner to badass course
Currently learning bass, can already play some sloppy poop, bought my first one yesterday (HB BZ-4000) and scrolled through UA-cam like "man I'd love to have an order on how to learn this stuff"
This is exactly what I needed right now! Thanks for giving such great structure ❤
Your video it's mind blowing for me! I'm learning alone and always felt lost and wonder I started right or wrong.... 😅
Thanks to you now, I can check what I have learn so far, to work in the technique and theory I didn't know I needed
Thank you much Josh!! You're my heroe ❤
Love from Chile 🇨🇱
I'm going for the plunge at the end of the month and buying the course !!! It best be good!!
It is! Just be warned that this level of nerdy humour is absolutely the way it's going to be. But in terms of teaching skills - he is second to none.
@@PeterPrestonUK I like the nerdy humour
You won't regret it!
i broke my knuckles and couldnt play for months and even tho i havent finished this video i just want to tell ppl that ur course helped me IMMENSELY i have to kinda start all over again but i was doing it everyday for about 4 months before breaking them and genuinely u would think i have been playing for at least a year or two and had knowledge of instruments before (i had none!!!) anyway gonna watch this to kick my ass back into gear but!!!
Mate! Love your humorous videos Josh! So much fun! From an Aussie bass player at last cleaning up my act!
Thanks Josh, I already completed the bass buzz course but as im pushing through the intermediate stage i’ve hit many plateaus where I felt I needed more structure. This helps a lot with things to think about!
I wish I had all this information back in the day - love the channel. All my early "lessons" were limited to a friend showing me how to tune, know the notes of the fret board, and learn the notes on the F clef. Then I was off and running, meaning I learned everything by ear. It may have been the long way around, but the challenge kept me going for 50 years. The "joke" graphic at 10:40 is what I learned on day one :)
Great video, but I was waiting for „ear training“ - I auditioned with a band recently and did not get the job because I wasn’t able to hear a song once and then play along to it as the rest of the band did. And now I‘m not sure how to proceed with that. Would be cool to get advice from you on that.
rick beato has a course specifically on ear training
This video is the reason I will be buying your course when I can.
I am personally on step 47, learning the baklava mode. It’s wild 😜 I love these videos because it reassures me that through all of the practice, and music theory I am on the right track! I am on around step 53 and exploring writing my own music. Thanks Josh!
This is the freaking best video you’ve ever made😁
Great video and super production! :-)
im trying to buy my first bass, ive learned so much from watching ur vids
Very good video. This is a good way to improve myself as a self taught bassist.
Love the channel and the course. Well worth buying. In my opinion the best presented and easy to understand. I owe most of my bass progress to that course. I would love it if you made another one that builds on the beginner to badass! Any chance of that happening Josh? Love the content and the way you teach ❤
learning all the small technique on bass that makes the songs and notes you play or dont play is definitely a challenge but man does it really make your playing style sound so much better it doesnt really take long at all before you can read a tab or play off a backing track where you robotically chug out songs and it pretty much sounds like a song you know where you can turn your amp up and not be embarassed but when you learn how to actually play things in time with the right rhythms and techniques it's so fun
For anyone who is not sure about Josh's "Beginner to Badass" course, get it. It's taught amazingly well and is really fun.
In one year, I went from not being able to play anything to making my own basslines that I enjoy as part of a band
I very much appreciate this video because of your effort into what you do and this is an infinitely useful tool for myself. Even if I learn everything for free from you, I'll probably buy your course once I got the dough. I did the same with permaculture (and for the certificate); where I learned everything online from reading and teachers yet i still bought the course to respect the art. Much love, much funk.
When I started self-learning bass your videos helped me get going, but for over a year now I have a privilege of having private lessons. What surprises me is that while I covered most of stuff to level ~30, I find I have covered elements from level ~50 already! For example scales in multiple octaves. It would be interested to hear some behind-the-scenes thinking why you decided to put some of those elements so late in the list.
Love this guy
Great list. I wwas looking for something like this (although I didn't know it!) about 4 years ago. Oh well! 🙂 Thanks Josh!
I am grateful to you for the Psycho Killer suggestion. With it I learned staccato in two ways ánd strengthened my left pinky ánd learned to use my right ring finger for plucking in two weeks. It took me less than ten minutes a day.
Plucking with three fingers comes in handy when learning triplets and galloping rhythms.
Best TEACHER ever!!!!
i can vouch for his course , as someone who knew nothing about music or even how to hold a bass prior to his course, it is a game changer.
Not only that u can learn in ONE MONTH.
That is not a joke , as long as you commit to the lessons daily (which arent even long mind you ) you can get a creat foundation and even play yoyr favorite songs in no time
Awesome!

HI JOSH, I LOVE BASS
The Beginner to Badass course was worth the money. He presents it in a humorous way, while you're learning.
When will the BEYOND BAD ASS course drop? Patiently waiting, Thanks for the B2B course, loved it!
This tasty groove is in Bb Baklava. :)
Best. Course. Ever.
i would love to see videos about the more advanced stuff you mention near the end of the video, also like double thumbing or strumming chords or tapping and whatnot, im tryna learn jerry was a racecar driver and you cant hold no groove rn and its all very new and awesome
thank you
Thank you ❤
I'm so glad you exist
Thank you 👍👊🤟🎸
I love you bro ❤️
Listen here, UA-cam algorithm: this man is a treasure! Keep him on this platform at all costs.
I'm taking a course called Bass Buzz, maybe you've heard of it. Lol! Great video Josh. 👍❤️💪
