    Hi thanks for these vids… It’s a pretty good idea to show different styles of bass lines.. I’ve been playing for years now and still like to learn new lines mos places give you a particular style that the person playing enjoys. You seem to mix up the styles and do…. I get to learn stuff I wouldn’t normally touch… Perhaps a series of these would be possible……

    Alex, thanks my man for breaking down some of the best bass lines ever heard!!I am one of those busy people, who would like to just grab my bass and jam away. These lines will help move me towards playing like a real pro!!! Thanks again-(By the way, could you breakdown Slaves’ Just A Touch Of Love, when you get the time???)—Terry L. Burns

The tab’s you spoked about, Could you possibly make so one could purchase on line,are by e-b00k,e-mail.Again the video is great.you play and show what to do slow enought for starting player to get it.

    Thank you Alex.

    Things like this and premium playalongs have really helped me.
    I can now read chord charts and have several songs that I can play off the cuff!
    Just need to find some musicians to put up with me, as Bass is so integral in a band.
    I now have the confidence!

    Respect for preaching the word!

    Hi Alex.I am a 72 year old beginner and ( I think maybe the dementia is starting to set in) as it takes me a lot of reading and re reading for me to retain things in my brain. That being my excuse for being a slow learner and easily getting frustrated I found your video’s very inspireing and just what I needed at the right time to get me motivated again. I look forward to the next ones. Can’t thank you enough. Tom

    Hi Alex from the other side of the Pond !

    Have been following your stuff for a short while & bought a couple of your courses. As a guy suffering from a mid-life crisis (according to my wife !) and wanting to learn bass later in life, your help is really useful. Keep it up & groove out man !

    Alex you are the coolest and as a self taught Bassist with (what I hope ) good potential your vids are excellent… you don’t get us too bogged down with theory but just enough for helping understand how it all comes together. I was taught piano in my younger days and the theory made it pretty dull and took the fun out of it. your teaching style keeps the fun in learning Bass. cheers from Susan, Brisbane, Australia.

    love the video but as someone whose learning how to play i would like know what note you are playing or dissect the notes that you are playing. I’m also wondering if don’t have anything for beginners that might help with fingering how to built fills/grooves and all the good stuff am a visual guy i don’t have time to read books and stuff but great videos will help the cause.

    thank you!
    Finally we find someone that cares about beginners. A million thanks goes to you my brother.

    Hey Alex:
    Love what you send and have applied your techniques to the two bands I play with regularly. You’ve got to play with different people to let this really take off.
    These licks are accomplishable.
    Thanks~~John
