    Thank you so much for this video, I just picked up my first bass, it’s day 3 for me and my wrist HURTS. Which I know is par for the course, but I have to say it was discouraging.
    I’m still going to practice the one finger per fret method for good measure and finger strength, but I’m glad to hear that it’s not the only way, since I was feeling much more comfortable with moving around the fret board more.
    All the tips were super valuable for me, thanks again!

    I thought this video would be too beginner oriented for me but, as someone who's not great at keeping the tempo without a drummer, the tip on how to use the metronome effectively is so simple and sounds super useful.

    Really great video Luke! Even as an experienced player, it's always good to be reminded of the things that can get in the way of your playing and how to fix them. I love the advice at around 9:30 when you talk about using theory as a map. I think some of my most creative bass lines were in my younger days when I "didn't know the rules". Once I learned some theory, I became conscious of "the rules" and making sure every note "fits". That's not always the case for a good bass line. And I love that quote how music theory is to explain music, not create it. I also love the advice of playing with others and also not comparing yourself to others, which is so common in today's social media age.
    All in all, some really great advice. And lessons to be learned at all levels. Thanks for sharing this Luke.

      I think a LOT of players go through a similar thing with the theory @thomasfioriglio - know I did. I'm glad I got past it though. I see some musicians who actively avoid learning anything theory-related because they worry that it would affect their creativity precisely *because* they see music theory as a set of rules, which is a shame.

    I'm a fresh new bassist and just've stumble on this video that already helped me much so thank you! the 7th mistake made my heart glow a bit. when I was practising alone, I thought about the 4-fret thing all the time and almost called it quits cause I have very small fingers, especially the pinky one, and watching other bass videos and tutorials here on youtube I've always blame myself for not doing it. that was until I started getting proper lessons, my teacher explained that it's very okay to use the ring and pinky fingers at the larger frets all together. I think it kinda gave me the hope and fun I've always loved about the instrument since my teen years.

    Thank you, thank you thank you for Mistake #7! I'm self-taught with a lot of bad habits, and recently trying to rid myself of them. One was the fretting with all fingers; but my tiny hand HATES doing this. It's so nice to hear that it's not a requirement to have to try to stretch & contort all my fingers when it's much more comfortable to just move my hand around the fretboard.

Been there and have played in various bands, but this is ultra important. Makes me wanna be a better bassist and musician. Also self taught and enjoy the instrument greatly (5 string), as well as strumming 6 strings, tickling the ivories and blowing some air into a clarinet or blues harp / mouth organ as we call it... thank you for your time and inspiration. Very much appreciated - as always.

    Thanks for your common sense approach. I have only been learning to play the bass for a couple of months , but have given up on the one finger per fret exercises. I got fed up of the pain in my wrist and fingers as i tried to contort my left hand into a position it clearly did not want to be in. Now i micro shift , and keep my wrist nice and straight , hey presto no more pain ! I still try to one finger per fret on the D and G strings , but i am giving up on the E and A strings , i dont think that it is worth the pain and long term health risks.

  • @WilkoLV

    I'm a beginner bassist, and i had about 4 hour lessons, which was really helpful. Gave me written structures for minors and video to watch how to move all the fingers for it, was able to video string co-ordination exercises by playing the minors up and down the fret board with the same fingers. Got so much from them four lessons that i don't need to go back for month, so now i do structured 10-15mins following by free play watching other bassists play like Denis Pauna and copying what he's doing and discovering the instrument with my abilities. Doing the above each day really helps progress without it being too much and tiring with everything else that happens in daily life 👌

    This was good content, thanks. 've just started learning to play the bass. Very old guys with small hands here. What frustrates me is watching how effortlessly people's hands move up and down the frets. Getting the pinky on the right fret let alone with enough pressure to get a proper tone is a challenge. I am hopeful that with more consistent practice this will get better with time. But I'm looking for exercises that will aid in this progression. Attempting to play bass riffs at this point is frustrating.

    Hi I'm a bassist whose been playing for about 2 years at this point, recently been discovering pain in my right wrist (related to extreme wrist angles) and have had to take a break from playing for a little while now.
    I was just sort of wondering if you would have any tips relating to that sort of stuff. I have already talked with multiple doctors relating to the issue and most of the saying it's probably tendinitis or carpal tunnel. Since you've had first hand experience in the issue, I would really like some advice because I'm starting at a music school at the end of the week and I'm still sort of at a point where I cannot play a lot at a time.
    Been a while since I played, played with my band yesterday as theres a gig I can't miss. Thankfully our setlist is short, only containing 5 songs, but its still hard to play like this.
    Reason I'm not seeking out a teacher about this is because it's a sparsity in the area where I live in as I live in a small rural town in Norway, and travel times would be large for that sort of things. Maybe you could tell your story?

  • @Some_Cat_
    @Some_Cat_ 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'd say the one-finger-per-frett rule is generally more suited to short scale basses. I'm starting to think that's why I now exclusively play short scales. I remember that rule being kind of drummed into me so when I used to play long scale basses, I was put off them by the sheer amount of pain it caused in my fretting wrist. I'm still apprehensive to switch back despite actually wanting to own a Thunderbird (and I know how much of a stretch they are).

    @johnnyangel504 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I have to commend you on most of your advice-except for your rule #4. With 50 years of experience as a professional bass player, I must stress the importance of timing and precision.
    An exceptional way to develop timing is with a simple metronome, practiced at various tempos, ensuring you always land on the (1) ONE. In a recording situation, if a bassist doesn't land solidly on the ONE, the drummer might start throwing drumsticks your way! Continuously missing the downbeat can even get you fired from the session.
    Practice your bass patterns at a very slow tempo; it's the hardest but most beneficial. A solid bassist must mix up quarter, half, and sixteenth notes in any pattern they invent, but they must always land on a solid downbeat.
    Thank you for allowing me to share my two cents on your very useful lesson.

    • @BecomeABassist
      @BecomeABassist  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Perhaps I wasn't as clear as I could have been with that point @johnnyangel504. I wasn't suggesting that bassists shouldn't play with good timing or precision - I specifically say the opposite. I also say that playing with a metronome on all 4 beats is totally fine at the start.
      The point was that you don't want to become _reliant_ on the metronome (or drummer or anyone else in the band) as you get more experience. As a bassist, developing a solid sense of *internal* time is practically essential. That way, if there's some kind of breakdown in a song where it's just the bass - or if a song requires a bass intro that means playing alone - then you're not relying on anyone or anything else to give you to the time or feel.
      This is exactly the purpose of the famous Victor Wooten exercise where he plays with a drum machine for a while, then it drops out and comes back in. It's up to Victor (or whoever plays the exercise) to keep the time when the drums aren't playing.
      I hope this clarifies things a little.

    Esp.when playing with others: learn the name of the notes and earn how to transpose. It often happens that the band decides to do the song a full or more tone lower ot higher. When everyone (except for the drummer) says, yeah let's do this one in D instead of C, don't let the rest wait for half an hour before you have figured out how that's done.

    Playing while standing can be trickier, in the ergonomics department. When one shoulder is bearing the weight of the instrument for long periods, it can get painful, until the muscles just give up. Any advice for that? I've gained the endurance over time, but other than expensive, multi-point harnesses, I haven't found a solution.
    The only tip I can give for wrist ergonomics while standing, is adjust your strap so the bass hangs roughly where it does when you're sitting. Don't try to copy metal bands, with their knee-high strap lengths, unless that's the only music you want to play, and for some reason it's making you famous.

    Extreme angles are never good. But playing with your wrist lower on you left hand *helps* with the spreading of your fingers. To little angle will make it hard to reach the notes. What is *important* here however is the position of the base on your body. If you trying to look "cool" by having the base very low, it becomes nearly impossible to play with a lowered wrist. I carry you based higher up however, it becomes easy to play with that lowered wrist, while still preventing the extreme angles.

    I really can't get how a bassist would ever prefer playing alone by himself than together with other people. I would get it with the guitar or the piano, but the bass? I mean, I love playing bass, but 'm not particularly into solos or slap and I think that playing alone, apart from practicing something specific, takes away the fun of "taking the band where you want", leading the rhythm and steering the emphasis of the arrangement with your dynamics, and that's what I love about the bass

    If you are practicing without making any mistakes, you aren’t practicing - you’re rehearsing

    So laying on my back while being fed grapes from a Dame Edna look-a-like while playing bass is out of the question ??

    Definitely had and have those injuries. Plus sore back. I really need to see an actual teacher to get this stuff ironed out

      Having lessons with an experienced teacher could definitely help @kelbot84 - I'd highly recommend it.

    Getting addicted to the instrument seems to help, even if you make everyone's ears bleed for a few months :L

    First you get the bass. Then you get to practice.
