    Great teaching Alex – your video was easy to follow and understand, slowing it all down was great and having the tabs and drum tracks just makes it better
    cheers!

    Nice Job. I am one of those busy people who plays the bass. I missed your “Bass Logic” videos cause I was working, both times 🙁 Any way. Good job with these look forward to the others.
    I am a big fan of your stuff.

    Thank you very much again, to everybody at Bass Guitar Tips. I’m a happy graduate of the complete Bass Guitar Secrets course, and enjoyed learning how to apply music theory to my bass fretboard, but you’re righteous in acknowledging that famous bass lines are fun, and an important part of repertoire.

    Great stuff!!! As a rank beginner, any help is appreciated that has a little fun attached! Using your course I have been able to muddle through a couple of Hootie and the Blowfish songs. When I started this I NEVER thought I would be able to play along with Hootie. Yeah!!

    I enjoyed the video. I’m not a beginner by any means but it was good to go back to grass roots type riffs as it can bring you back to reality and remind you of humble beginnings, and remind you that simple can sometimes be the best thing.

    thanks, Pete

    Grear Job Alex
    I am one of those busy people too, However I’m doing it as a hobby I am prabully your only fifty
    year old student. I had been interested in learning a new langauge until one day I was listening
    to Victor Wooten and he said music is a langauge and a light went off in my head and I decided
    to learn the langauge of music. I had a 1969 fender Percession when I was in High School in
    Detroit but it was stolen shortly after i got it. So I am very excited that you are taking the time
    and droping some knowlege on us. I’m loving this video keep up the good work. 😉

      Hi Glitz… hmmm not sure what you’re referring to – We don’t sell any DVDs that promise you will be a bassist in 80 days… BUT keep your eyes on this blog because in the next few free lessons I’m gonna show you guys some VERY cool stuff that will get you playing respectable lines VERY quickly… Peace!

    I’ve been working on nuts and bolts so its nice to something to frolic with. You struck a “chord” with the mechanical scales feeling I got playing with friends in WV. But that helped with my determination to work harder once I got back into computer realm. Thx for the dessert!

    Hey Alex Man, yes I’m one of the people that could defiantly benefit from the use of this video. I’ve been playing bass for almost 8 years now yet, with children One of which is a newborn, and not being in a band ( nor having the time for practice) I cant seem to find my groove. I have a vivid imagination and come up with grooves that would make Stanley Clark proud, i just don’t have the skill level to play.them.I am a self taught bass player and know the fret board yet need help with fingering techniques so i can play like you…. HELP !.Yes I’ve looked at Bass Guitar Secrets(longingly for over a year) and have every e-mail i have ever received from you, I’m sorry i just haven’t been able to afford it….for that I am a lil ashamed….But i do honestly appreciate you keeping me on you list.and all the help you provided thus far…… sincerely, Larry

    Alexecellent as Yousual Very well done and soooo easy to follow.
    Note: My download speed gave me a break every 3 or 4 seconds so (a real pain the A). I would love to be able to download the video. Any chance this could be done?

      Hi Trev… Thanks for the support. Unfortunately we don’t have downloads available at the moment – I’ll consider it for some of the other free videos in the future though… There are pros and cons to doing so that we’re kinda still debating 🙂

    Hey Alex, just what was needed, adds a bit of fun and coolness to my playing.
    Tell Wyatt he’s not on his own, I too am very busy working full time and dancing “Rock n Roll and Swing three nights a week. Bass playing is a hobby but a love of music keeps these young 57 year old bones still jiving. Keep up the cool tunes.
    p.s. Been using a ’58 reissue Danelectro Long Horn.

    Again, Alex, you have spoiken and demonstrated in a manner which activated my mu neurons. The Gandhi Nuerons of Dr. Ramachandran’s neurological research that explicates the power of demonstration in learning. We are connected without me and my axe because: you demo, I watch, and you and I are autogenically (mind-body) firing off the same neurons; mirroring the demo by you…in me.

    To Wyatt —

    It’s okay to be 50….I’m 71 and fundamentals are essential tools for growth and the pursuit of excellence. I’ve been at this as a learner and performer for more than 60 of my 71 years. Don”t forget about the 10,000 hours of scales that Quincey Jones says are essential.
