    Interesting breakdown! Actually looks feasible even for the old codger!

    Great idea! Keep them coming they’re a great help. The sound level on your bass is really low and not easy to hear – can you turn up the volume in future vids? Thanks again. Great job.

    Sounds great-I am watching to see if you are using scales, arpeggios, chords, modes, or combinations

    I like the break downs it’s still a little hard to see
    What finger is on what string or fret.
    If the notes been played were posted below
    That would be great 🙂

    Thanks Alex, this will help me alot. How hard is it to be an intermediate player self taught and now do it right with lessons?.

      Hey George, well really that’s a sorta open question… Everything kinda depends on what type of music you’re trying to learn, the time you can afford to spend with the instrument… what you define as ‘doing it right’.. If you have a lot or a little to (or nothing at all) to correct about your playing technique… But i will say that it’s certainly very very doable – Helping folks get and feel better about their playing is what we do all day long. Cheers!

    great idea as a bass teacher i find that most beginners struggle with coming up with their own ideas giving them a few quick licks is a great way to build confidence

    Hi Alex,
    I have been a member of your Bass Systems a fews years now, and Its been a long time since I have been able to get down to any practice, basically due to family commitments. Your comments regarding time to practice!!! were very helpful as I had fallen into that category. The above video content and quality of video has given me the urge to get going again.

    Kind regards

    Michael

    Hey great stuff, I have a suggestion. When making these videos you should consider editing in some type of highlights on the fretted stings on the bass so it’s easier for the viewers to see what frets/strings you’re playing. Sometimes the fingers being used change during playing, which is normal; this should make it even more clearly to all on what you’re playing. Doing something like this is solidifying your dominance on Bass instruction videos.

    Great video and very useful. I had self taught myself Another One Bites the Dust but changing a couple of notes makes it so much better and easier. Keep up the good work

    The most important item to include in your next video would be to give the notes you are playing.
    The action is a little difficult to follow for a first timer.

      hmmm not sure if folks are missing this but I’m gonna say it again… I gave the TABS to what i played in the video in a PDF… Tabs meaning I write out each and every note so that anyone can follow. those tabs were sent via email. cheers
