    Once again a great resource for those bassists out here (like me) who don’t have all that much time to work on developing skills consistently. This stuff makes it fun!

    Alex, thanks for the riffs… The play along and the slow down video format is really helpful. I find tabs hard to follow plus you don’t get to feel the lick the way you do when it is performed. Do you know of any source that produces popular riffs like this in the same video play along slow down as you do? It would be great to access some kind of library for popular song bass riffs.

    love the ascension lesson. love the breakdown for it. on “another one bites the dust”, the bass was difficult to hear. other than that, as usual, well done. i had put done my bass for a few years and your email and link arrived just in time to inspire me to put my lady up again. thanks.

    This was right on the mark! You described me to a tee. Additionally, practicing scales and such is pretty boring so if there is a way to accomplish the same thing playing a song it would really help keep my attention. I’m willing to put in the time, but sometimes I need instruction on how best to woodshed.

    Thanks

      Hey bro, thanks for letting me know I am on the right track… And to answer your question YES there is a way to learn to play without thinking of rules… In fact we typically go to music school to study and transcribe people who didn’t go to music school! lol – I’ll make that the subject of one of my next free videos here and share some ideas along that line! thanks for the feedback.

    Its ok, but how about chord names or note names, not just tabs, and some chord forms to use when learning new tunes, to speed things up s bit.

    I could not see your right hand and it would be nice to just have the notes in the bass line.
    In the order that that notes were played.
