Well Dan I'm trying to get back playing moving couple hours away n finally went to get my Bass n amp etc then had a single car accident flipping twice n thank God I was okay. So between a heart attack n car accident I got home my home now I don't have a chord lol. Daggone I can't wait to get back to playing n learning❤❤❤ Thank you again for all your teaching and inspiration n incredible playing
Thank you for these 'light bulb' moments your lessons bring. You keep it so simple and yet practical. It's really pulling together all what has, before now being a bit tedious. 'Am now playing the 'I want you back' bass line easily and enjoying it!
Excellent visualisation of patterns Dan. Once you get the numbers down you start to see the patterns of other keys too😎 opens up a whole new adventure👍
Every couple of weeks, since I began your lessons, I have a moment that pops!!! I've been in and out of bands for years, but have unfortunately developed some huge gaps in my musical knowledge as a Bass player. Slowly, as I struggle through your lessons, some gaps get filled and everything makes sense at that moment. Thanks for your awesome lessons Dan.
Learning this is awesome and Dan does such a distinction with each note. I was listening to the Beatles and how awesome Paul McCartney he played so many awesome n sweet bass lines the best using a pic bassist . As Dan is every bit like Paul without a pic n with Dan plays every note is solid and patterns love it
Dan,go fo it.Your idea for a book or patterns is imo epic.I'd love to buy the first copy.Judging by other books in your library I'm positive it'll work great 👍
Dan, I would love to see you do a tutorial on Alfa Anderson's " We Were So Chic " Bass Line. I have no reason to doubt that this is all Bernard Edwards' handywork and it is such a totally funky line , I want to try and learn it. Let me know what you think and if you would take this one on. If anyone can do it I think you can. Thanks!
Great stuff, just signed up for a course. Qu: at minute 10:07 you have the second note of the pattern as a major second? I thought the second note of a major scale was minor?? So i would have to look at it as a minor pattern?? This type of vocabulary has always confused me. I have a grasp of everything else just sometimes this vocabulary throws me off just when I start to get it. Or I should think , it’s just the second note OF a major scale? Thanks in advance. (MikeB)
Thanks, Mike! The interval is a ‘Major 2nd’. You might be getting confused with the chord created from that degree of the major scale - that is, indeed, a minor chord.
Hey Dan, am I right about? The further you advance in playing the bass. The easier it becomes. It’s the hardest to learn the basics and all the patterns and the fretboard. But then it becomes “simple” to recognize all of the above? Greetings.
Hee Dan, your advice paid off almost immediately. Your advise to buy a cheap acoustic bass to keep with you at all times. I did buy one and got it delivered yesterday and in the evening I was watching a movie and in it a small part of Nina Simone’s Feel good track was played ( great song ❤️) and I had the urge to play a little and now I was able too. Thanks to you. Very nice. 🙏🏻💪🏻

@@OnlineBassCourses Ty Dam It's kinda crazy had a heart attack n car crash. It's even more of a blessing to play my Bass.
Thank you for these 'light bulb' moments your lessons bring. You keep it so simple and yet practical. It's really pulling together all what has, before now being a bit tedious. 'Am now playing the 'I want you back' bass line easily and enjoying it!
Thanks. Keep it up!
Thanks Dan.
Your knowledge & expertise are so important to me on my journey 👍

Dan your videos are so helpful to me! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

Sure does!

Really happy you get something from my lessons. Thanks for the comment and keep up the playing!
Thank you
Very nice and inspiring.

Thanks, Ron. Great bass!

Maybe not quite like him (playing or bank balance 🤣).

Thanks, Kev!
Great lesson Dan, great channel, cheers.
Thank you, Pete.
WOW THAT SOUNDS GOOD
🙏🙏🙏
That first Jaco-is line is really sweet. As a guitarist playing bass for fun these lessons are great on having insight to a bassist's mind.

I’ll look into it!
Nice
WOW! Again… I know the pentatonic scales but NEVER put them together like this! THANKS DAN! ( I feel like such a dope) 😬
Good stuff, Bob!
Dan, you should do a live QA sometime. I have lots of stuff to ask you.
Write me an email!
Awesome
Do you have a course on Patterns?
Not yet…
