Only just came across this and thanks , everyone is missing the 16th 17th fret work ?, really enjoyed this
This is how tutorial should be.. unlike others.. they still say "start at G 3rd fret on the E string!! What an annoying tutorials they think people just starting to familiarized the Chords, Why! they can Just do it straight to the Chords and how it groove!! Thanks for the Tutorial!!
@@NhoyskieIbanez Appreciate you taking the time to leave this feedback.
I don't think you're going to read this, but you might know which chords you could use?(for the "background")
@Ninja-FOX_art I am reading this ;). Almost forgot about this melody that a student requested 3+ years ago. I would have to dig back into it. Since it is in E Dorian Mode with a modal shift, I would roll with the chords that Guitar Tabs official is providing. Em A C D. Let me know if those chords work, or not. Cheers
Hello, I have a big request from you, can you play the synth solo in the song Electro Deluxe Fly Away? I'm glad to have you, thank you.
@@funkonrr8705 I will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
@@DavidConnorsMusicThank you for your wonderful answer, I look forward to it, thank you very much❤🙏.
Your Comment Request was attached to a Stevie Wonder Bass Tutorial. Are you looking to play this Synth Solo (1:49 - 2:35) on the Bass or another instrument? If you want to play it on the Bass you have to use an Octave Pedal to shift up. The first run of notes descends Eb Db Ab OR D# C# G#, but the first note is an octave higher than the 20th fret (D#/Eb) of the G String on a bass. The Highest note in the solo sounds like an C#/Db above that octave, so you would likely need to pitch shift your bass up an additional Octave (2 octaves higher than a standard 4 string bass can hit) with an Octave, Pitchfork, or Whammy Pedal. Of course you can always learn the run of notes and patterns in a lower octave without pitch shifting. Sounds like the song and solo may primarily be in the key of B Major? Target notes are B C# D# E F# G# A#. There are sounds to be some chromatic movements in there as well as possible modal shifts. I'll let you know if/when I get time to sit down and absorb the full 45+ second section. Cheers.
@@DavidConnorsMusic Hello, thank you very much for your nice return and yes, I want to play the solo between 1:49/2:35 with my normal bass guitar, we would be pleased if you show us the slow version. Best regards 🙏🙂💚

Great lesson 🎉
@@ZPX945 Thanks
U r the real teacher bro 🙇🏼♂️
Right On! A Real Teacher for Real Bassists. ;)
The lick at the D to F should be a hammer-on, not 2 separate notes. I do like the lead part, thanks.
@@greggacek1655 Thanks for the inspiration to revisit this jam. Cheers in the New Year.
I think the solo would sound better with a Low G string.
@OmarSantos2376 100%. This is the fun challenge of translating things on a ukulele's limited range.
I guess I need to just learn basic music theory because no matter how many tutorials I watch my guitar sounds NOTHING like the ones in the video. My life’s goal is just to learn this one song. It’s my favorite song of all time.
@someryebread drop an email if you ever want to schedule a free hour session to understand and learn this song based around your current skill level, understanding of music, and learning style. connors.dn@gmail.com Cheers.
This was not slow enough

Great guitar!
@Lightning77305 Are you referring to the bassline or the actual instrument? If you are referring to the bass guitar I am playing, you are giving me traders' remorse. I do miss that P bass, but I absolutely love the one that I received in trade. Cheers.
@@DavidConnorsMusic Yes referring to the instrument, P basses are the most beautiful, especially sun burst , my favorite Bass. That one is a particularly beautiful example. Sorry to give you traders remorse, but I am glad you are happy with the one you have now. cheers.
@Lightning77305 I just listened to a bit of the video. Definite traders' remorse for the tone of that beast. I still have a 5 string P that may get plugged in at a gig tomorrow night. Thanks for the inspiration.
@@DavidConnorsMusic My pleasure, enjoy the gig, keep up the great work on your excellent channel. 🙏
Superrrr solidddd tutorial tho !!
You making the next video ? For part 2 ?
Ooh nice! Yeah i play piano, guitar, bass, and the ukulele and i wanna get a mandolin now too. It’s on my list lol
@@laurajaneluvsbeauty9596 Absolutely. Why not? Which of the 4 you listed is your primary/favorite?
@@DavidConnorsMusic i started on the piano but I’m much more comfortable with my guitar. I love it so much lol 😂
Love the video!!! What software do you use for the background (drumline) and where do you have the drumline from?
I likely notated the drum pattern to play in Guitar Pro.
Thank you, I just started play the bass a year ago.
YES! How are you loving the BASS!?
Thanks
Yessssssss Thank you for this!!
You bet!
excellent!
Thanks for the inspiration.

@@henryjasso8048 Excellent. I just had to re-learn it myself (using this video) on the 21st night of September. ;) Cheers. Enjoy the wedding.
Maaaan, thank you for such a detailed breakdown! been playing it completely wrong since I "learnt" it (12 months ago).... Gonna learn it again
@ilyagrigoryev26 Welcome. I just learned the proper way a year ago. Oh the techniques we can learn from.
Watched again like 6 times. I think I overthought it. Excellent lesson!
Thanks for sticking with it. Glad it is working out for you. Cheers
Thank you. For those of us who play by ear, and sight, and I presume there are a lot more of us,all the note calling got me a little confused. Still, the best lesson of this song on the tube.
Appreciate the Feedback. I see where you are coming from. I usually do a foundational lesson/exercises with students to recognize/repeat/recall the dotted fret notes (frets 3 5 and 7) on strings 6 and 5 as NATURAL NOTES (G A B, C D E) Sting 6 (low E String) has an F on the First Fret. Frets 3 5 and 7 are G A and B. String 5 (A String) also has B on the second fret. Frets 3 5 and 7 are C D and E. Once we recognize and recall those natural notes by name (F G A B C D E) we build the PERFECT 5th POWER CHORD shape. We can then use the natural notes to navigate to the ENHARMONIC NOTES (sharps and flats) on the non-dotted frets. Then we can call out the chords by name for more efficient musical communication. F#5 B5 to C#5 G#5 to A5....etc..... Is far easier to say than 2nd fret string 6, 2nd fret string 5 to 4th fret string 5. 4th Fret string 6 to 5th fret string 6. The latter is a lot more efficient once the foundational understanding is established.
please post the second part!🥹
Very nice tutorial bro ❤❤❤

Hello again David, I’m still enjoying your bass tutorials. I’ve often felt that Bill Withers was under appreciated in his later years. Is your Jazz Bass the American Professional version? It’s really sharp looking. Thx for sharing so much music. Peace.
@powerforward1955 Hello. Bill Withers is an interesting character with some killer tunes. The J bass is a Japanese(MIJ) Geddy Lee Signature. Think it is a 2006? Most of them have a black body. I just happened to come across the sunburst finish.
hi David can you tell me what metronome you use?

@mikemarwood2910 absolutely. Last I checked it is FREE on Google Play and a couple of dollars on the Apple App Store.
Starting to get the hang of it thanks
@@gurgleblaster2282 solid!
Nicely done. You're a natural on camera. Keep up the good work. One request: can you do a follow-up showing the chords?
@spidgeb3292 Probably. The only chord is really G and/or G7 with a little Em and/or G6 thrown in there. G Em/G in the first measure of the 2 bar pattern. G on the & of 1. Em/G on beat 3. G7 G6 G7 G6 in the second measure of the pattern. G7 in the & of 1. G6 on the & of beat 2. G7 on beat 3. G6 on beat 4.
