Thank U so much for getting back so fast. I’m 72 years young 🤣 my two sons R entertainers. My first chilled KeithWildChildMiddleton was in the cast of STOMP! N now doing his own music. He’s the one who knew I would love the base guitar N teaches me. I love your lessons I perfect on the walk.🎶🎶
My pleasure and just so glad to be helping.
You are a natural and gifted teacher! What a delight!!
Thank You Lisa for your lovely comment.
Another great lesson, thank you Rachel
Glad you are enjoying Mike and Thank You for all your support! ☺️
Ok so I rewatched this video and my mind opened up and comprehended more. Thanks
Glad you are getting there Stephanie, but don't put yourself under too much pressure, it will come with time.
Thank you Rachel for this new lesson for me. I have ukbass in "love" !!!!
Glad to have helped Dany, keep walking the bass ;-)
Thanks for all your videos. My Kala Scout arrived yesterday, and a Hartke HD15 arrived today. I’m already playing walking bass lines. And I have bass face! 😱😅
Firstly Thank You for becoming a Patreon Margaret, very much appreciated. Awesome to hear you are on the bass ukulele path and even more impressive to read you have your “bass face” nailed, that is the most important part of being a great bass player. 😉😂
Thanks again, Rachel. For those interested, here's the link to Rachel's bass ukulele lessons playlist. These are in lesson order and are well worth following. th-cam.com/play/PLYmTmr75ouDy5EiUsdt0NZOCspJU3diSI.html
You're a star, great info with the link, Thanks Tobias.
Very nice list. Thank you. That's quite helpful in staying organized.
Aarrgghh. I going back to walking base basics ! Not ready for this but it has set a target for me to reach!,
Don't stress Kathleen, there is a lot of info in both the walking bass line lessons, take your time and keep it simple for as long as you need to. Main thing is keeping the time.
Rachel, congratulations, you did it, you have my head spinning!!! Mostly with excitement and a little of wow, at 72 this can be challenging, but I am a young 72 so it is great fun and I love to learn. Your style of teaching works well for me, hopefully you are not a K-5 teacher, wouldn't say much for my learning 😀 In all seriousness, thanks so much. This really gives me something to sink my teeth into and really move my bass learning along. Totally looking forward to more in the future!!
You can do it Loree and I am just so glad you are enjoying and still feeling young! As always, have fun with the practicing, take your time and ask away if you have any questions. :-)
If it's any comfort I am 70 ...
@@trevorboyd1570 thanks Trevor. You definitely have an advantage having played the guitar. I am with you about bass guitars being way too heavy. Thanks for the encouragement! Loree
Another brilliant lesson, it helps so much to improve, thanks a lot
Glad to hear that Malcom and Thank You for all the support too.
Thank you so much for this and your last tutorial. I haven't had a chance to practice either yet, but I know that when I do, I will benefit greatly. And thank you for making me laugh with your "bass face" comments. I really enjoy your sense of humor. Laughing while learning is awesome!
Thanks as always Shirl, hopefully you'll be mastering them very soon. Glad to have made you laugh, question is, do you have a BASS face? ;-)
@@UkuleleWales I find with your lessons that even if they seem difficult at first that with repetition they do come into focus for me. Now I don't know about mastering them but I will enjoy learning from them. And as for bass face, I think my expression is more like a deer in the headlights.
Thank you so much for putting these lessons out for all of us to use. It has really helped.
My pleasure Clydene, just very glad to be helping.
Thanks so much. To be honest, I'm a little bit amazed that I understood what was being conveyed in the lesson. It's very intriguing to see how the C major scale played out in the chord chart. Also, I'd heard the term 'chromatic notes' many times but never quite got it...until now. They really add so much color to the bass line. Now I need to practice and get what been instilled into my head out and onto my fingers on the fretboard. Loving it!
You're very welcome! indeed badmonks, love hearing when things start to click and make sense. Keep going!
I'm really enjoying these (actually went to bed last night with this as my ear worm). I love playing All My Loving because of the walking bass line. If I look back over the years, all of my favourite songs are favourites because of the bass. Duran Duran's John Taylor started it all off. He's such a great bass player.....so great that I can only play Save A Prayer, as the rest are too hard! I love playing my ukes, but my u-basses are very special (and so much easier to play than heavy bass guitars, which is why I stopped playing years ago). Thanks again for some great lessons 😀
Thanks Suzanne, loved a bit of Duran Duran too! Keeping rocking the bass.
Thanks
Thank You so much - apologies for the late reply as I have only just seen this. You support and kindness is very much appreciated. 😊
I think this is finally all clicking Rachel. Now need to work on speed!
Thanks.
woo hoo, go Loree. Fab to hear progress is being made, well done. :-)
Thank you very much for this lesson and all your efforts to help teach new bass players. You do a great job. That said, I have a few hopefully constructive comments: Some of us are really beginners and when you play at 140 bpm and say "remember, you can always slow it down", you should realize that you could have played it at 80 bpm and said "remember, you can always speed it up". Secondly, although the chord sequences that you chose are really 'jazzy' and sound great, most beginners are playing vanilla 3 and 4 and 5 chord progressions found in easy ukulele songs that our friends are playing. Thirdly, when you do 'play-alongs', it would be nice to play along with some popular ukulele song that many beginners might know. None of these thing are too serious, but I know I would benefit from them. Thanks for your efforts.
Thanks again Bob, glad to be helping. Always appreciate constructive comments, I didn't actually play any of the 140bpm tracks but will certainly take the slow down bit on board. These are particularly for a walking bass line so the chord progressions reflect this but I have looked quite a lot at the more popular uke songs in some of beginner lessons and of course the play alongs on the Ukulaliens play along channel can all be played by the bass and cover all sorts of songs. Hope that all makes. Kindest regards.
Check out the great catalog of play a long music @Ukulaliens th-cam.com/users/UkulaliensUkuleleClub lots of types of music to practice walking bass lines. Thanks again Ukulele Wales 🤙🏽🧶🎯
I fixed the last problem I practice walking.bass on the ground floor👍
Still laughing! LOL
This and the previous lesson are great, and I'm sure I'm going to enjoy trying to get to grips with their contents. As I do, I would like to try to apply what I'm learning to the songs on which I want to walk, many of which have passages with a chord change every other beat. Any advice on a general approach to that situation? Best wishes, Bob D.
Hi Bob, you can either just stick to the root, play 2 then change, or 5ths but this doesn't always work. Main thing, don't try to cram to many notes in and keep it simple until you are happy.
@@UkuleleWales Thanks - that's very helpful. Bob
Hi Wow I am so new to the Bass I brought myself for mothers day a Ukelele bass and Wow I love it! My Ladie group all play the uklele but a lot of them Dont have any idea about timing and the Rythem! It would begood I f I could work out Bass lines to go with theold songs They like toplay! we go to nursing home a couple of times a year!
Is there anyway I could get in touch with you Regarding the type of songsthey sing!
Thankyou once again from Down under!
I f you ever want to travel to Autralia , NSW, Lake Maquire area You could stay at our place.
Regards Lynne Jarman
Thanks Lynne for your lovely email. My email is ukulelewales@gmail if you want to give me a shout. I will be going through some more bass lines for well known songs soon if that helps.
18:15 If you would like the link to understand Swing Beat/Tempo, check out the lesson at th-cam.com/video/gcxA8FZkmCc/w-d-xo.html This is an excellent lesson. Thank you very much for sharing this lesson.🤙🏽🎶
Thank you Rachel! There is something I do not understand. In the first example, the Cmaj7 is played with Root, 3rd, 5th, and 3rd again. While Am7 is played Root, 3rd, 5th, and upper Root. Why is that some chords are played with the 3rd at the end, and other with the upper Root?
Great question. Really it doesn't matter as along as you are keeping the rhythm going with the walking line. Very often I look at the next chord and that will determine which note (3rd, 5th and even 7th) I play at the end of each chord. Hope that helps.
@@UkuleleWales Thank you for the answer! So we can use this fourth note to make junction with the next chord. Got it!
@@Pantouflor Yes, exactly that. 👍
Shamai, I do not know what it means, I suppose Hello.
Could you please tell me how you learn to play thoses bass lines, do you first learn the first bar until you play it perfectly and then you learn the second and so on ?
Or you learn more, 4 bars for instance...
Thank you very much for your answer.
Shwmae means hello, how are you, so shwmae! If you haven't watched the first walking bass line video, I'd suggest doing that first as it is much simpler so therefore easier to keep the rhythm which is what the walking bass lines are all about. If you are struggling then I'd always suggest breaking it down into bars, hope this helps, please feel free to ask more questions.
WQhe I pause the video the on screen controls block the TAB line. Is there a way for you to make the video so the on screen controls don't block the tab line?
I’ll try to avoid this in the future, it’s just unfortunate the music / TAB always work better towards the bottom of the screen. 👍
@@UkuleleWales Rachel I really like your and your videos, you made getting started with mu U-Bass easy. I hope to see more beginner and intermediate videos in the future. I am having trouble with the strumming alternating index and middle fingers plucking. I keep practicing, is there a drill or method I can use to help with this?
Basically you're teaching the bass basis of basic bass playing I think you could be biased!..(b.t.w. I tried a walking bass line! FELL DOWN THE STAIRS!!!)
Bill, I actually spat my cup of tea out when I read you very funny comment. LOL! Thank You
Thanks
Thank You so much for the Super Thanks. Very much appreciated.
