Marvellous lesson once again, reminds me of something Ginger Baker said about playing, it is all about having "time." Getting comfortable playing music a person needs to have time.
I have been playing bass for just over a week and because of you my fingers dont go flying everywhere and i can actually play this riff because of your awesome teaching style. Thank you very much
I clicked in the video thinking I wouldn't be able to play the riff now I'm grateful i clicked because I was able to learn it, thank you for this lesson you're a great teacher
Another great lesson! You're a gifted instructor, breaking down complicated progressions, into sections, making them much easier to learn. Thanks again
Another great lesson Mark! I love how you don't just teach a riff, but you teach something else along with it that we can take with us and apply in other areas.
Again Mark you have made a great material for training in order to develop funky feel in bass playing. Thank you soooo much!!! I love your lessons! Cheers!
Thank you for the time and thought you invest into your so great lessons. No longer playing out or regularly jamming, I play a great deal through a variety of pedals into a looper. Laying the bass track down (using an EHX Pitchfork) to a drum track is now even more fun since I’ve subscribed and get inspired by you. Better bass = better groove and that makes me play guitar soooo much better. And when I get a real bass in my hands that is even more fun. Cheers to you, brother - I hope all goes well for you.
First video of yours I've watched.. Great stuff, I think I'm gonna learn a lot here as a guitarist wanting to play bass! Thanks a lot, liked and subscribed 👍
Super noob question. But if this is based off of the dominant C7 chord, why is there a G + G flat and a B + B flat in there ? I guess it's one of those things that just works ? or is my understanding of it incorrect ?
Chord tones are the main points of resolution but music isn’t just made up of chord tones. Chord tones are important to know but nearly all music is made up of notes outside the chord. You need to look at melodic devices like approach notes, neighbour notes and passing notes. These can be diatonic or chromatic and work around the chord tone framework. The line of Bb B C makes use of B natural as a chromatic passing note. This is where you’ll find the spice of music.
When you play i hear a slight buzzing going on in the notes. I have that too when i play. I wonder if that is acceptable or normal and how you think about that. It sometimes bothers me and then i think i'm doing it wrong. But i hear it when professional people play the bass as well. So: do you consider it to be normal? Do you hear it too? How do you feel about it? Thank you.
Well take my advice with a grain of salt but a lot of people like that buzz for certain types a bass lines it really depends on wether you like more with or without the buzz
I'd dig on hearing Mark play more bass as he is an accomplished bassist-musician, he does transcriptions for other teachers also, but you need to remember this is a lesson to show the finer points of playing a "funk" pattern and how to get the rhythmic nuances right. If he simply played the riff over and over people would complain that he is too busy showing off his bass guitar skills.
Everytime I see there's a new TalkingBass video, I know I'm going to learn something useful. Mark is a great teacher.
Correction... you left out the 'est' at the end of 'great'..
el mejor profesor que he visto en youtube
@@jmaguilarr , ¿a poco no? Explica claro, con lecciones útiles y presentadas a buen ritmo para que cualquiera las pueda captar
Absolutely brilliant Mark, you put these video over so easily, your the best by far 10/10

You are a very good teacher with actual content that's easy to follow.

Shine a light, I can't get on with my walking bass lessons because of things like this! Cheers Mark you are the best.
I clicked in the video thinking I wouldn't be able to play the riff now I'm grateful i clicked because I was able to learn it, thank you for this lesson you're a great teacher
Honestly man, you’re awesome. You’re such a great teacher
Great Lesson Mark. Very helpful. Thankyou 👍🎸
Awesome, can’t wait to hook into it
You are great at breaking down and explaining the mechanics of riffs and patterns. Keep up the good work.
Another great lesson! You're a gifted instructor, breaking down complicated progressions, into sections, making them much easier to learn. Thanks again

That's the whole point of the lessons. I don't really teach any riffs for the sake of riffs. They're simply a vehicle for teaching an aspect of music
Again Mark you have made a great material for training in order to develop funky feel in bass playing. Thank you soooo much!!! I love your lessons! Cheers!
this line sounds even better slapped,cheers mark
Love your work, great!

These videos are great. Thank you so much u absolute legend.
Thank you for these videos!!!
Thank you so much. I loved this lesson. You are greatly appreciated. What a fin turnaround. Cheers
love it dude you made me funkier!
As usual , a great lesson. Thanks Mark.
Wow this is such a good lesson! Thank goodness for rewinding! Also, I bought your scale app! Excellent!
First video of yours I've watched.. Great stuff, I think I'm gonna learn a lot here as a guitarist wanting to play bass! Thanks a lot, liked and subscribed 👍
You are a great bass teacher. Very detail.
A simple but very helpful video, thank you
I finally got the pop concept down. Staccato with home position. And now it actually sounds like a pop. I have developed bad habits.
Love your Streams You're the BEST
sounds good Mark , much thanks
Thanx again Mark! Great lesson. Could you come up with a lesson about David Bowie's Space Oddity bass line? That would be great!
Awesome! Thank you so much Mark.
I'm enjoying your video.
I'd like to have the score in the lesson video.
Thank you.
Great stuff mark AS ALWAYS!!!
Very good. Thank you
OMG sir its very very great lesson for everyone love you sir
Epic riff. Epic lesson.
Another mind-blow step for me, an intermediate beginner. Exactly what I needed!
How do you get that great tone? A Fender Precision US made and an Ampeg amp? Line out? PC?
Nice!! Tnx for the lesson :-)
DOPE !!!
First , always useful lessons . Have a nice weekend
Thank you so much for the lesson))) what strings are you using? flatwound or roundwound ?
The vibe of this riff kind of reminds me of Mellowship Slinky In B major by the Chili Peppers. Obviously not the same riff but similar vibe is all.
Working on these staccato notes and 16ths really helps nail some of those Flea bass lines.
Mark, I need more just like this
Soo helpful

@@Monkey-ry8fh well that doesn't answer the questions i asked............
As a beginner it's the turn around part 4 that is tricky to play.
Genial Tutorial ! ! ! !
CAMBIO&FUERA = SERVFUS /MANDYTO/
cool
Give me your backing track🙏
What strings are those? They don't sound like flats...
DR Roundwounds. I used to have flats on it. Switched flats over to my '50s reissue
@@talkingbasslessons Cool...it has a very distinctive sound.
More talking than bass
