How to Play Bass Guitar Scales : How to Play Straight Bass Lines

What make and model bass is that?

i belive that if your gonna play bass, you have to feel the music, you have to know whats right and what you should do.

@renzoasity Videos like this really help though because it helps you learn your guitar so you can find the notes in your mind easier and you arent stabbing in the dark. Nothing sucks more than jamming with your friends and they are playing a chord and you can hear the bass note you want but can't find it on the guitar.

@3star2nr It helps, but sometimes you have to not know what your doing to have fun. Some of the famous bass guitarists didnt know what they were doing.

The total ignorance of some posters on You Tube always amazes me. The complexities of playing good jazz walking bass lines belies the seeming simplicity (at least to lesser and non players). I've played bass for 36 years, all styles and Genre of music and I found good (not simple) walking bass the most difficult to master since it requires a thorough knowledge of scales, arpeggios and how to apply them throughout the whole neck and the ability to improvise against any chord progression.

nicely done, ignore the beanbrain comments they don't have a clue who Thelonious Sphere Monk was and what he meant to music, nice explanation of straight lines

Too many strings, too many knobs, dull walking bass, you'll learn nothing here. Bass at its mathematical worst.

Your ignorance knows know boundaries.

[dacotv]

You're right. I have no knowledge of wine bar jazz bass

[tbcass]

Remember, just because you don't like something or understand it doesn't mean it's bad. People really don't care about your opinions.

Okay.

@dacotv If you would actually watch the video you would see that hes not using his 5th string.

Hes playing on the EADG like a normal 4 string. Also he has a good sound coming through so why do you care about the knobs?

Dull walking bass? its a beginner lesson. What do you want to do learn how to play bass by watching flea solo?
