Hey everyone! If you are having trouble finding the free tabs on Patreon, you have to scroll down to the post from June 16, 2018...which is quite a ways back since I've been posting a lesson a week! here's a link to the PDF of the tab to make it a little bit easier: www.patreon.com/file?h=19491942&i=2303444
Excellent lesson for me, I just bought a Kala Rumbler- FS yesterday and learned to play this last night. It was about the only thing I could play on the piano growing up but I could not figure out how to play it on Guitar or uke, but now I can play it on UBass. Thankyou and keep up the good work:)
UBass!!! I love this. Just got mine (UBass) an hour ago. My only comment, as a teacher myself, go a little slower on your example so others can play along a little easier! Otherwise this was over the top! Awesome! Thank you!
Hi Rich, so basically the pattern outlines one of the chords. So if we are playing in the key of G, our pattern outlines the first chord ( I ) using the arpeggio notes (notes GBD), but we can add a note as part of a pattern. The E technically acts as though we are outlining a G6 chord...but it's really just a common Blues pattern. Another way to look at it is that you can use notes from the pentatonic scale and it still sounds nice over the I chord. E is in the G major pentatonic Scale ( G A B D E g ). I hope that helps a bit. Let me know if you have any more questions about any of the above. Thanks for watching!
Precisely! I like to give movable patterns. Another reason to avoid open strings sometimes is to get a more consistent tone and volume...open strings tend to stand out a bit.
So are the chords C, G and D? I am new to UBass and when I see the name of a chord, I need to memorize appropriate patterns. Thank you for your great lessons!
Yes, three actually. 1) Knowing how to play without open strings allows you to keep the pattern described anywhere on the neck 2) To eliminate the difference in tone (open string vs fretted) and 3) its easier to control the sustain on a fretted string.
@@1BIGpineapple I'm glad you've learned a lot! TH-cam doesn't seem to notify me of every comment like I thought it had...so I'm just now getting to some older ones. Cheers!
I play a U-Bass with a ukulele group and most of the songs are in C. What advice can you give about starting patterns for supporting these songs. We do Folsom Prison Blues, Rock Around the Clock, Hotel Yorba and Delilah. I am not very experienced with the U-Bass
The first two are pretty close to 12 bar blues songs, and there's a video on the beginner playlist that walks through a similar pattern as Folsom: th-cam.com/video/rgP5MrILotc/w-d-xo.html
You can play without one, but to be heard when playing with others, you will definitely want to have one. Also, the metal strings are louder than the polyurethane. Thanks for watching!
@@stephencoxbass Sorry, just saw this. I have the poly strings. I think it a combination of a high fret wire and poor technique, because (1.) it happens more on the third fret than elsewhere, and (2.) I have adjusted how I play w/ my RH and it's somewhat better now.
@@jeremyalm9006 If it happens more on the 3rd fret after improving your technique, it could still be the instrument. I have a slight buzz on my Wanderer model on the 1st fret of the A string. If I play SUPER lightly it won't buzz, but I was able to do a truss rod adjustment to get rid of it. However, that adjustment caused a buzz on the 14th fret of the A and D string. I opted to keep it that way since I use the 1st fret of the A string much more often.

@@garysmith762 Ok, I sent you the link on your other comment.
You should be able to find free tabs all over the internet, no?
very good brush up on basic theory and then applied to the U-bass brilliant vid thanks,
I’m glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Terrific lesson on the 12 bar blues for the U-Bass, Stephen. Thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
U-bass! Thanks for the video. I learned a 12-bar Blues progression before, but wasn't sure what I-IV-V was. Makes perfect sense.
I'm glad I could help you add to your musical knowledge.

I'm glad you're enjoying the Rumbler! Those are fun to play!
again a lot of information, thank you.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!

Ok, thanks for watching! Which model did you get?
I got the Hadean Bass UKB 24 it is so nice. Looking forward to learning to play it!
@@timcason3479 Super cool! I was impressed withe the Hadean I had. It was surprisingly good for the price.
UBass! Love the pace, actually got to figure it out. Please do more.
Awesome! Thanks for watching! I have a beginner playlist on my channel that has many more lessons like this one. Cheers!
Great lesson. Thanks. Now I can play the 12 Bar Blues in any key.
Awesome! I'm glad I could help!
Enjoying your u bass tutorial Steven thanks mate
Thank you, John!
ubass! Thanks Steven.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Just bought a Journeyman. So glad I found you. Hoping to rise to Novice level in the next few months. Planning to learn a lot from you!
Thank you, I hope I can help!
How’s the playing goin big pops
Great stuff, just got a ubass today!!!
Awesome! Congratulations on your U-Bass!
U-Bass! And I like your shirt, one of my favorite albums.
Thank you! A great album, and he put on a great show when I went!
Great lesson👍 thank you Stephen 😊
You're very welcome, Zuzana
Thanks. You wore my left hand plum out!
I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson!
Great Video. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Excellent lesson ( as always !). Dumb question . I understand it’s a I IV V progression but you added the E so there are 4 notes . What am i missing ?

So if we are playing in the key of G, our pattern outlines the first chord ( I ) using the arpeggio notes (notes GBD), but we can add a note as part of a pattern.

Ubass> great lesson
Thank you!
I see why now. To be able to play in other keys, like A, using the pattern makes playing them easier..
Precisely! I like to give movable patterns. Another reason to avoid open strings sometimes is to get a more consistent tone and volume...open strings tend to stand out a bit.
U-Bass! New subscriber!!
Welcome aboard!
U-bass!!!
For the win!
So are the chords C, G and D? I am new to UBass and when I see the name of a chord, I need to memorize appropriate patterns. Thank you for your great lessons!
… sorry. I didn’t watch all the way through before asking the question.
G C and D are the chords. Thanks for watching. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Cheers!
U Bass!
U-Bassically get the idea! Cheers!
What brand of upas’s are you playing//? Do you think Oscar Schmidt is a good brand to buy?
This one is a Kala. I have yet to play an Oscar Schmidt, so I really don't have any idea on that. Thanks for watching!
I could not find the PDF for this lesson.
OOps... I saw the note and found it
Is there a reason to use 5th fret rather than the next string open for the G Scale? U BASS !
Yes, three actually. 1) Knowing how to play without open strings allows you to keep the pattern described anywhere on the neck 2) To eliminate the difference in tone (open string vs fretted) and 3) its easier to control the sustain on a fretted string.
Well said, Larry!
Only a year later, I’ve learned a lot since then.
stephencoxbass thank you I agree Good info

For the other songs, try looking up bass guitar tutorials for each...the frets and strings will be the same on the U-Bass.
Thank you for this, my question is do you need to have an amp to play a bass ukulele?
You can play without one, but to be heard when playing with others, you will definitely want to have one. Also, the metal strings are louder than the polyurethane. Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial! I just need to sort out my buzzing/rattling problem. Is it my technique, or is it my U-bass?
Does it buzz when you play lightly?
@@stephencoxbass No... if I play VERY lightly. So lightly that consistency is difficult.
@@jeremyalm9006 It may be a loose part on the pickup or battery compartment. Do you have the polyurethane strings or the metal strings?
@@stephencoxbass Sorry, just saw this. I have the poly strings. I think it a combination of a high fret wire and poor technique, because (1.) it happens more on the third fret than elsewhere, and (2.) I have adjusted how I play w/ my RH and it's somewhat better now.
