    This was great! Thanks so much for the video. It is always great to have someone that understands how busy a person can get with other things other than what we would like to do. This was a great encouragement.

    Thanks for the videos. Been away for a while but now that winter is almost here, I’m getting back into practicing more and your tips help me — a beginner/intermediate bassist — a lot, both on four and five strings.

    It was great to get a refresh on these great timeless bass lines, Thanks for taking the time, I picked up my bass tonight after playing guitar for 6 months, this was a great way to get my fingers in the groove.

    This video was just what I needed because as you stated this is for people who are just to busy to put in the extra hours of practice on the bass. I enjoyed the video and hope you will keep it coming.

    Keep it up! You and your program/ videos
    Have made the biggest difference in my bass musicianship and it has encourage me to keep on holding down that groove and the bottom ! Thanks so much! I have to share this testimony about the gospel bass player DVD. I was sharing it with another bass player and I was sharing you and all your programs and how to get his own and he asked me to let him check the DVD out and he took off with my DVDs so I have to get another set of gospel bass player, I need to finished. Actually I never got to work on the material, so I hope u have some on hand ! Thank again, Robert!

    Once again a no non-sense session to teach some great bass riffs. Thanks for the tab and mp3s. I will add these to my repertoire.

    Thanks Alex. This is a real motivator. I like the tracks that have notes and tab. I missed having the notes in the bass guitar secrets lessons. Having payed the sax for a number of years it was a challenge for me to learn tab and then relate to the musical notes. This is a much needed improvement to bridge to becoming fluent with music and instrument.

    Hello Alex,
    I liked the video, I thought it was good to use familiar tunes that we can rap out brains around and already have a feel for the song. The tempo and feel for the song is pretty much built in. Thanks for thinking of us as a group, we who want to play, but just don’t have the time. Please keep it coming.
    Have a blessed day,
    Glenn

    I’ve been working on theory and beating on my bass forever. I have the knowledge in my head, but could not work out anything without reading. These beginner bass songs point me in a new direction. Now, i can play and work out the variations that are in my head without having to just play by reading.. thanks for taking me a step up.

    Hi Alex A very good video and easy to follow. I wish we could see both hands, however.
    I am still working with the excellent materials i got from you a few years ago. Hope all is going well with you. My goal is to try to be on Ricky Minor’s little platform with him at my 72 years of age. I am in several working bands and having the time of my like. Its never too late to start something new like the bass at 65 years!!!! Thanks for you help! Joanne

    Maybe these five licks can be explained note by note when you play it slow, i find that the tab and notation is not what is being played even though you did mention this at the beginning of tutorial, i see slides played but pulls are in the notation, but i am just a beginner, no disrespect intended, i could be seeing things, please point us all in the right direction. And god bless you all for helping us, the needy and hungry for bass guitar knowledge.

      Eddie it’s a balancing act my friend – explaining 5 riffs note by note would end us up with a 45 min video – unfortunately that kinda defeats the purpose of trying to help folks short on time. Peace

    Alex, I really like this. It gives me a little more to use as I expand my knowledge of the fret board. I don’t have much time to dedicate to my bass as I would like to, however, with this I can sort of groove to help me manuever my fingers around, and feel good about the time I do have to practice. Thanks and keep it coming.

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks for these grooves, you hit the nail on the head for where I’m at in my bass playing. I would really appreciate lessons on how to develop your own personal groove over standard chord changes. I typically find myself as the quarter note pulse on roots and fifths when I don’t know a tune and jam with people, I want to be able to funk it up! Cheers <3
