    I consider myself an experienced rock and blues bassist but really appreciate the different way you approach more complex music. It makes this music approachable quickly even if only on rudimentary level. However, it never sounds that way when you are playing along with the music. I look forward to more videos.

    Nice one man! I’m basically a rock player with very little musical knowledge who just tries to play what I hear in my head with varying degrees of success so its always cool to learn some new patterns to expand my vocabulary.

    Love that tone btw!

    Amen Alex, thanks for all your help and the videos you post us regularly. I got so much encouragement from your approach of teaching the phrases that make up good basic bass lines. I greatly appreciate the encouragement and realization that i can still play good bass without a lot of music theory knowledge. Thanks Alex, you are the man, God bless!! and Amen

    Hi Alex, you did it again!! For some reason we are always looking to play complicated stuff (and are not always able to execute it). While the easy solutions are just in front of us!! Nice job!!

    Hey, Alex
    I like the video. I am a math teacher with too many papers to grade and lesson plans to develop to really sit down to look at everything and practice, but now during my thanksgiving break I was checking my e-mail and took a few minutes to watch your video. I’ve been playing bass guitar off and on about 27 years now and have been playing for my church for the past 12 years. I would say I am about intermediate mainly because of the lack of time I have to practice like I’d like to. I can do pocket pretty good and add some fillers, slaps and hammers, but I feel limited as far as the “crazy” stuff. I think your stuff is something I can really use and I hope I can get to more of it soon. Keep up the good work and thank you!

    Hey Alex,

    Thanks for the video! I can implement the patterns right away.
    I have your Bass Guitar Secrets CG-X Method DVD and was playing bass for a worship team 2 weeks later. It was a great short cut to learning the bass, especially the locking into the drummer part! I had some musical training, but the CGX Method kicked my bass playing in the pants!
    Thanks again!

    Hallo Alex,
    That video really helped me. I try to come up with some baselines ,but this is one more thing I can use. Got a lot of material from you. I need to learn it stripped in order to understand it. And I do not have much time. I play bassinet a church band . But how do I apply the pattern on the second or third string (A or D). I am sure I use the rout and the 5th and than what?

    Hope that I hear from you soon

    thanks alot alex, what a way to take three notes and turn them into a nice pulse. really enjoyed the simpicity of it and how you apply it to two different genres. for me, my worse problem is figuring out, feeling, the beat or pulse and applying it to the song. greatly appriciate your tips.
    thanks steve
