    I haven’t picked up a Bass in over 25 years, and I was no good then, but your videos gave me renewed confidence, so easy, makes all that theory stuff obsolete.

    Alex , haven,t recieved your 4th vidio. may start jonesing any minute. you are an exceptional instructior and i was very fortunate to come upon your sight. being an educator myself i admire the way you present your instruction, presuming we have no knwledge of what you are attempting to get across is the only way in my oppinion, and you do it very well. God bless you and keep up the good work,you the man. oldTexas dog

    Alex,

    Great short video. Question: Will your follow-up video include these moves starting on the third string root?

    Thanks!

    Hey Alex,

    Watched the video again, great stuff!!! I’m actually a guitar player, for 40 plus years and picked up the bass about 10 years past and took private lessons. I regret to say that I am still a bass guitar beginner!?

    My main bass challenges still remain: 1) Developing the ability to intuitively create rhythmic bass lines, hearing what I need to listen to in order to create those rhythms; 2) Right & left hand coordination, including string muting; 3) Full chordal usage; 4) Usage of passing notes outside scale or chord… among probably countless other challenges.

    Would you please consider doing a special video aimed at helping “treble-minded” people like me, finally grasp the bass world and so be able to embrass it and create beautiful music like Stanley Clarke?

    Cordially,

    Dave

    Amen bruh… Man, this exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’ve been playing bass for 18 years and I am so ashamed to say that I did not know how to for chords and all this other simple stuff that you are teaching. I have found myself starting back to playing every day. I have even gone out and bought me a pair of head phones so I don’t disturb my wife. Man I thank God for you. Be blessed bruh.

    I really like your instruction, however, your note tab download are coming thru on a colored background and the note tabs are too faint to read, anything you can do different in this area would be most helpful–like maybe eliminating the background colors.

    Thanks

      Jerry, right click on the link and DOWNLOAD the tabs to your computer… you’ll see there are no background colors on the tabs. If you just click on the link and it loads in your browser you’re not gonna get the correct representation of the file. Peace
