@tambascodominick Copyright Claim problems....I'm cleaning up my channel and deleting videos that have copyright matches against them. There's not many./...but a few.

Hi,

i'm a beginner and you explain very well. Great and thank you very much.

@mysticjer Glad that it helped. Here's the advice I give everyone: use the lesson to learn the tune, practice it until you have it nailed. Then pick another tune that's slightly harder and go learn that (and nope, it doesn't have to be one I've done a tutorial on!). Keep doing that and you'll make yourself a better player...

Thanks for that! I found it easier when playing the chorus not to play the open A, but to play it on the E string 5th fret. It means you have to hop up to the D string and back, but I found it easier and cleaner than having to mute the open A which, as you say, doesn't sound right if you let it ring but is a right pain to mute!

@alsypig That's cool - one of the things that a lot of lessons never make clear (including mine:) ) is that each of us has a different combination of fingering systems, plucking styles, finger and hand size, scale length of bass and approach and that the way that I play something may not work for your system. Sometimes we have to work around and change somthing to suit our own style.

nice bass ....is it a heavy bass ?

[garbeaj]

Nice job! To my knowledge, Bernard never used Flatwounds...he just used very dirty Rounds...

@garbeaj The reference source would probably be Stuart Clayton's great book - FUNK AND DISCO BASS AND GUITAR. I'll check it out next time I'm at my office.

@howtoplaybassdotcom Thanks! I'll research a little more and I will check that out. I've been playing guitar for 30 years and I have just started playing bass seriously a week ago(!) so I could definitely be wrong:)
