    Nice job Alex.
    My daughter is taking lessons and your talk about roots is right on. Must know the base root notes to move forward in this basic lesson. I hate it when people start talking Pentatonic and etc .
    No sense in doing that until you get his down. Brave

    That was excellent. It helped me understand different formations of rock based patterns. Very cool. I appreciate the first three videos a whole lot.

    The video showing how to use the two patterns and begin to articulate around them was very helpful. I have been playing for a long time but to break this down to its basic structure is a very easy to understand where I’m going way to teach bass lines. I would like to continue learning the patterns and how to put them together.

    Thanks Alex

      Hi thanks for the feedback and you’re right there are a lot of styles… That’s why the methods I use teach people not just to copy a specific “rhythm” but to learn HOW TO IDENTIFY CATCHY PULSES in any music they listen to… So no matter what genre of music you like you’ll learn the skill of coming up with suitable rhythmic patterns yourself. Peace.

    Nice one Alex,” you da man!” I also love that Chick Corea track, so you have to show us the intro step by step. Seriously though, I appreciate anything that you show us and the time that you have taken to put it out there! Cheers!

    I tried taking bass music lessons five years ago and it did not help. The instructor spent too much time on theory and I just could not get excited and lost interest. I like the way you teach in breaking it down that helps develop self-confidence and skills.

    Hi Alex this is a great lesson, I’m starting to play Jazz standards and it will allow me to play over the chord types much easier. At least I will look like I know what I’m doing and not feel lost by only playing root and fifth all the time.
    Thanks
    AMEN
