Ive never played bass before and ive never played any instrument before and this is the most helpful video ive ever seen. you explain everything perfectly
dude i love your videos i have never taken guitar lessons in my life and i have already got this and the beat it song down i think your awesome keep it up make some more awesome videos please
@cename21 Because Bass and guitars are different instruments. They look similar, but couldn't be more different. A Bass players function in a band is to maintain the low, support the melody, and hold the rhythm. We are the low end of the composition. Guitar is more treble, and sits in the high to middle ranges of sound. This is why we have big thick strings, and guitarists have thin strings, smaller necks and different pickups and amplifiers. This is why your guitar cannot be a Bass...
@cename21 Your guitar is going to grow up with a complex. It'll be hanging out with Basses, and they'll all be looking at it funny, and your guitar will be like "hey guys, I'm a Bass!" and make a boom boom boom noise. But it'll come out a bit whimpy, and they'll all laugh at it. Think of the poor guitar, and it's feelings. Go get it two strings, and let it run free with all it's guitar friends...
dude, ur freaking awsome!!!! ive been playing bass for a year and a half, but ive yet to do solos and riffs while playing songs. i was wondering if you could tell me how u do it. i admire you and i thank you for posting these videos.
Just wanted to say thanks for posting your lessons. They are most helpful and, I think it is very cool of you to share your knowledge and talent with those who want to learn. In my younger days I played bass but, it was mostly classic country to some top 40 country. I am a child of the 70's and really dig the rock music of that era. I am just now reacquainting myself with the bass and with your help, I intend to expand my abilities.
Wow thanks so much for this vid. Started playing bass about 3 days ago and this song is going well so far :D Getting a little harder after you move from 3rd to 5th to 6th but i'll get there ;D Thanks again :)
I watched a live version of Wild Cherry playing this and the bass player plays it in a different position, avoiding open strings. Why do you use open strings?
you are just awesome!! I mean 2 days ago I get my first Bassgitar and yesterday i saw this video and today I can play this song and that because of you!!!! thank you verry much. Also I have a question: Do you also have a video were I can learn how to play This Love from Maroon5 ??
you are just awesome!! I mean 2 days ago I get my first Bassgitar and yesterday i saw this video and today I can play this song and that because of you!!!! thank you verry much. Also I have a question: Do you also have a video were I can learn how to play This Love from Maroon5 ??
@Disco32er Practice getting the attack sharper. As in, how you hit the string. Try it on the 5th fret on the E string first. Hit it over and over, but try and get the duration sharper and sharper. Do this on each string, over and over. Eventually, it'll come :)
very good video. great music to learn for begginers, because you must get more fingers involved and its very fun to play. great videos overall dman! greetings freom slovenia!
This is a really great instructional video. Very patient, step-by-step approach. Much appreciated.
PS: At the "play that funky music til you die" riff, I think its a B, not a Bb. The Bb works, but it may be dissonant when pushed up against a guitar playing the B.
@GEORGEONZA I have many. Go to my site, Dmanlamius . com and go onto the lesson tree. Start from the beginning, and work your way up. Hope it helps :)
If i were you m8 i wouldn't even bother to post a reply to the wankers who have a dig at ur playing. You're a v good player and a lot of people really appreciate your lessons so if they dont like them then f**k them
Can't help but notice how all the 'negative comment merchants' don't actually give any lessons themselves but just slag off others who are trying to help. If they're so good where are their videos?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sorry Mate! You are not real tight playing along with this track. Got to keep the groove! What was all that "junk" you were playing, during the guitar solo? That is completely out of character to the song and would never be accepted in any band I have played in. I have been playing this song for years now...Got to stay in the groove pocket and that is essential the most when you are playing with a good drummer to sell this song to your dance audience.
@lclaughton Its a rendition. Thats why the "junk" stuff in the solo. A rendition. Thats what it says....Anyway, apart from that I agree with what you say. I might re-record this one.
@lclaughton Your a douche bag. Saying you have been playing this song for years why the fuck you looking at a cover???? Then your hating on him, you post a video of you playing this song bet you would fucking suck. SOrry mate!
Love your vids man, I've only been playing 6 months but love it, taught me loads, you deserve a medal. Would love to see you do a tutorial of the Eagles - Hotel California. A+
wow, that helped a lot, i looked at the tabs but i couldn't find any good ones or tell if they were right, but with this i can HEAR that its right... ut the solo, mabey teach that?
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! You're playing the opening guitar riff! It drives me mental to hear bass players play that riff instead of the damn bass line! You'll NEVER get the proper groove down unless you listen to the original bass line. I know that this is your 'rendition', but really, it shouldn't be used as a tutorial in funk. Try listening to the real bass line, learn it, then do another tutorial. Sorry to moan...just want to help. :)
It's very unfortunate that other person's internet is too slow. He/She could have learned a lot from this video. When teaching, one needs to talk. I appreciate this instruction. You are a great teacher . And a great bass player. Thanks.
You are amazing, I have always wanted to learn to play Bass Guitar, as soon as I can afford one I'm going to Do it and I've got a feeling your uploads are going to be of great use to me so thanks in advance, Pastorius!
Hey, thanks for all the videos, Ive watched a bunch of them because I just bought my first bass. I played the bass in a small school band but it was all improvised. You've helped me to develope some skills that I didnt know I had. Now I can play without improvising on the songs.
Hey, I played bass for years, leveled out in my skills, and then quit because my band broke up and didn't play for a few years. I read the book Talent is overrated and realized that it takes deliberate practice to improve, not just playing time. I started looking for videos on developing my skills beyond where they were and came across your videos. I really appreciate everything you do. I know it's a wide audience you cater to, but most players can learn something from you. Many thanks, Ran
I keep watching this because I really enjoy funk and it's into my liking that I play a lot of it: I've been offered into a band but I barely know how to play bass, I thought I'd give it ago with tutorials. Do you think it's a wise idea that I only watch yours and pick up your techniques & adapt mine so that I learn much faster? I've had my Encore for about 2 years & only ever played little riffs of my own. I really appreciate that your doing this for free, looking forward for more.
@MkieNedachi Yea, thats ok! Go through all my vids, and learn it as I teach. Its all good stuff that will get you into positive habits, which will help you in the future. Once you've learnt all the basic stuff, you can start evolving into your own style and way.
I have been dying to learn to play Bass! My dad and brother both play guitar really well and all self taught from watching youtube videos. Yours is by far the best I've seen for bass. It's so easy to follow. Thank you! I will definitely keep watching. You've pushed me to start learning asap! XOXo
You do not play the same thing you taught during the "play along portion." there's a bit of rhythmic embellishment in your verse riffs etc, makes it hard to play along.
When I play what you taught it conflicts with what you are playing.
I've been playing keyboard for years and have had one or two goes on acoustic guitar but given up. Do you reckon Bass Guitar would be a better choice to try instead?
Dmanlamius76 awsome lesson!!thanks i appiecate you probaly get loads of requests,but could please have one?i would like jamiroquai and alright i would love a lesson on that,iam massive jamiroquai fan and stuart zender made me learn bass!i would be forever in debted to you!cheers
been on your site and just, damn, your a natural multi talant! I really like that you wrote a book, and if I wouldn't be poor right now I buy it because I just love "colour of magic"
It's great that you post these tutorial videos for people to learn. But please, PLEASE make more videos of your music. I loved Everyone Sparkles and Snow, and all your other stuff. Please make more of that stuff.
heyy. ive been wanted to learn a song. i wanted to know if you could make a videos for it. i wanted to learn "Ill take you there" by the staple singers. it has a great bass line. thx :)

Great tutorial. Thak you very much.
You do not play the same thing you taught during the "play along portion." there's a bit of rhythmic embellishment in your verse riffs etc, makes it hard to play along.
When I play what you taught it conflicts with what you are playing.

I've been playing keyboard for years and have had one or two goes on acoustic guitar but given up. Do you reckon Bass Guitar would be a better choice to try instead?

been on your site and just, damn, your a natural multi talant! I really like that you wrote a book, and if I wouldn't be poor right now I buy it because I just love "colour of magic"

It's great that you post these tutorial videos for people to learn. But please, PLEASE make more videos of your music. I loved Everyone Sparkles and Snow, and all your other stuff. Please make more of that stuff.
