    I love it, though it be better for just simple sheet music and name of strings. But the commentary is very good.

    Hi Alex. Thanks for this lovely video. For me, these lessons seem to strike the right chords. I have been playing at church for a while but was not correctly instructed and so I do tend to find problems playing simple grooves because of my technique. I believe these lessons will help correct my problems. This method of learning the bass is simply amazing. Thank you and I hope to continue enjoying more of these techniques from you.

    Been playing off and on with friends teaching me for over a year … I have given up numerous times in that year because I didnt understand what they were trying to teach me. I can read TAB, so I know what I am supposed to do. I just have not been able to grasp it yet. Your video sparked my interest again, and I have my bass back out. I hope your videos can do what you claim …. off to practice …

    Alex ,I very much enjoyed the first video. I am 55 and I have not picked up the bass for over 20 years. Whish I would have kept my 72 Percision and 76 Jazz bass but no use crying about that now.

    I was able to pick up the first 3 songs very quickly because I was fimiliar with the original songs. The slow tempo versions are fantastic, especially for someone like myself who has not played in years and needs to build back up speed and dex. Looking forward to tomorrow’s lesson. Thank you so much Alex.

    Hey, my name is Jouvanni Christian. I would like to start by saying thank you for creating these videos and allowing people to view them for free. I have to say it’s a great way to get people playing more instruments like the bass if they have a way of learning without hurting there pockets. I actually just decided to learn bass in my free time. A friend of mine had one laying around so I wanted to try. I’ve never played a string instrument before so I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. Let me get to the point though. Is there any videos you have, or can make, for people who have no idea what chords on a bass to play or how to even hold the bass to set your hands up and play more freely. Thank you.

    but now that I have you as an instructor I think this is going to
    be easy with some practice. Thanks I will be waiting on the next
    session.

    This was truly awesome!!! I’m at work and I just happened to type in,” learn how to play bass”, and this website came up and I am truly excited. I bought a bass guitar for Christmas 2 years ago and bought an acoustic electric bass this year. Thing is, I love the instrument but haven’t had time to complete any lessons. I took lessons from a friend for about 3 months but didn’t really learn much as he was an accomplished bass player who spent more time showing off his skills rather than teaching me. I tried paying for professional lessons and I had a guy give me a copy of scales to play, a drawing of major and minor scales to play, how to properly hold the instrument, and what else I needed to buy….ie..more time because 30 minutes wasn’t enough time for him to teach me anything. Then I watched your video and I’m like wow, if I were home with my bass, I bet I could actually play that. So I can’t wait to get home to try it. I hope that I can watch the same video so I can try it. You make it look soooo easy. Hope I can do it!!!!!!

    So far I am impressed with the simple and concise way you presenting the lessons. I worked on the Pentatonic lesson last night and found how much I need rthe practice. I’m looking forward to learning more fast.

    I play with/in a Praise and worship group. We had 3 guitars and no bass so I bought a bass and amp and am learning. I did play bass in a country/oldies band 30 years ago but have been playing guitar since.

    Thanks for your teaching,

    That was cool! This is the way I learned guitar. I’m only limited by laziness and time as opposed to a lack of ability. Now I want to learn bass, I always have, but I got a Dean Vendetta bass for my birthday and intend to learn how to play it. Thanks for a great lesson #1.

    Cheers
