Excellent Allen. I taught guitar many years ago and your bass instruction is exactly what any great teacher starts with. Positioning. First rule of any instrument; don't hurt yourself! Just buying my first base and you have just given me a free $100.00 lesson.
I’m new to this channel but I can’t lie, I like Alan. I appreciate his approach and calm explanations. It’s simple no nonsense or jargon heavy stuff. I can dig this.
Thanks for the tips. I have a problem with my left wrist, it doesn't turn palm up, and fretting just get's me frustrated and tired. I was about ready to give it up until I saw your vid showing how to position the left hand. That is actually as far as my wrist turns! I may not be done yet. Thanks!!

I'm looking to start on the bass. I currently play keys. Should I learn on a 4 string or a 5 string?
5.. you will want a 5 string later so get 1 first
What amps do you suggest. What about hartke or ice.
Stay tuned... Ill talk about it in future videos
Please--are u playing all 4 strings on that practice run? It looks like only last 3(?)
Gove me a time stamp so I can know what u are talking about
@@BullyThaKidd @8:48 "chromatic run" Thanks. Oh! Looking closer I see you're pulling each of the 4 strings...ok.
