Thanks Jon much appreciated
You bet, Paul. Thanks!
Love your videos. I am a self taught bassist. I learned basic patterns from Bass Guitars for Dummies. I have been lucky to have discovered many, many of the combinations you talk about in your videos just by listening to music. Your videos for me are great because they explain the theory behind all the patterns I have developed through trial and error. Thank you.
Thanks, gb. I’m glad you’re getting a lot out of my videos. Hit me up anytime with your bass-playing questions, problems, goals… I’m happy to help! - Jon
This may sound nuts but...the rest of my story is that like most bass players I learned on a 4 string. I learned that playing either 2 or 3 strings was a more preferred way for me. I like playing horizontally. It is a way for me to keep it simple. Playing vertically I found led me to "overtake the plumbing". Over complicate etc.@@ForBassPlayersOnly
Great approach, thank you
You’re welcome, Andys. Thanks for your kind words. Hit me up anytime with your bass-playing questions, problems, goals, etc. I’m happy to help!
I have a book of yours,"BluesBass" The Complete Method. I'm particularly fond of Blues
No.17, actually I've been through the book so many times from cover to cover, I just can't get enough of it. I got the C.D. too. Totally love it! Excellent insight do great bass playing, it's really opened my eyes.
So great to hear, Frank. Keep up the great work!
So I've had a bass guitar hanging on my wall for a good 50 years. I took it down about 6 months ago and have been basically piddling with it. I have learned more from this one video than I managed to pick up on my own in 6 months. I am encouraged. Thanks.
Awesome, Jerry! Thanks so much for sharing that. You made my day. Keep it up.
I'm a self-taught bassist, and your lessons have greatly helped me! Thank you!!
So glad to hear it, Kevin. Hit me up anytime with your bass-playing questions, problems, goals, etc. I’m happy to help. Thanks! 😀
As a struggling bass player you have given me hope, bless you✌️
Thanks, Kim. Hit me up anytime with your bass-playing questions, problems, goals, etc. I’m happy to help!
Great sounding bass, BTW.
Thanks, George! It’s a Stonefield. Made by an American (Tomm Stanley), based in New Zealand. Awesome instruments.
Great lesson Thankyou
Thanks, Sharol. I hope you got a lot out of it!
As a 73 year old it takes me a bit longer but I just value your style Jon.
Thanks, Keith! 73, eh? You’ll fit right in with the “For Bass Players Only” community. Great to have you here!
Thank you. I subscribed. I got the roots and some arpeggios like 1-4-5. Thank you. It’s the other notes that I have trouble filling in even though I have rhythm. Lol. Any suggestions?
Hey, Bernard. Start with the notes in the scale of whatever key the song is in. For example, if the song is in “A” major, first learn to play the notes in that scale. Once you get those down, build your arpeggios by starting on the root of whatever chord you’re playing. To play an arpeggio, just “leapfrog” over the next note and play the one after that. Then do that one more time. In other words, say you’re playing in “A” and the chord is F# minor. First play an F#, then skip the next note (G#) and play an A. Then skip the note after A (which is B) and play the next note, which is C#. You’ve just played an F# minor arpeggio: F#-A-C#. Follow that formula for any other note in the scale and eventually you’ll have mastered all those arpeggios! Let me know how it goes. You’ve got this, Bernard! 😁
Bass Builders: "Blues Bass" the complete method, the best. Wonderful book it's helped my playing. I kinda tend to count the 12/8 stuff in a 4/4 triplet feel, originally starting out trying to count it in 12/8, I noticed counting it in a 4/4 feel kind of messes me up when I try to play the 32nd note 12/8 triple fill. How do I count a 32nd note off the 12/8 time signature?
Thank You Jon!
Thanks, Evers. When it feels tricky trying to play those triplet figures in 12/8, just slow it down, dissect those rhythms 1 or 2 beats at a time, and work on feeling that triplet subdivision. Keep at it, my friend. You’ll get it! Hit me back and let me know is how it goes. Thanks again for reaching out
@@ForBassPlayersOnly Great advice. Thx 🙏
Perhaps even more important than the notes you play are the notes you don't play. I believe you've addressed this. It's about the phrasing, the rhythm. No different than how important the spaces between words or sentences are to the story telling. The reader or listener needs the freedom to be engaged. To think.
So true! Thanks for your comment.
Excellent lesson
Thanks, Charles! I hope you got a lot out of it.
Hi Jon, the link on your website for your premium course Bass Guitar for the Rocker In You doesn't work. Would love to explore that course! Thank you
Hey, Gary. Yikes! Thanks for letting me know. It's fixed now. You can go back there, or just click this link: forbassplayersonly.com/bg4/
If the 1, 4 and 5 are in every song, as you claim, how do you explain the 2 5 1 as being the most popular progression?
Great question! As I said 1, 4, and 5 are in “darn near” every song you’ve ever heard. 😁 Generally, I’m referring to popular songs and rock songs. The 2-5-1 progression tends to be more common in jazz, where it’s enormously prevalent (not to say it’s not also found in rock and other styles). I hope that helps. Thanks for weighing in!
Muy bueno, felicitaciones
👍😃
My biggest problem is memorizing songs I always need a cheat sheet
Gotcha. Take it a step at a time. Can you memorize the first four bars? What happens after that? Do those 4 bars repeat? Whatever happens next, take it in sections. Learn one section at a time and piece them all together. Most song forms aren’t very long. Maybe the whole form is 32 bars, 16 bars, or even 12 bars. What’s more many songs follow similar forms, so even you’ll start to recognize some commonalities. Hit me back and let me know how you make out. I’d love to hear from you. Thanks for posting!
I am experiencing this currently .this has helped me tremendously thru the years thanks.
You’re welcome, Michael. I’m so glad to hear that. Thanks for letting me know!
John. Ilike what ihear
Thanks, Daizer. I hope you got a lot out of it! 👍😀
I can readily abase myself before a bass just to play good ...
