beautiful 

[TyShawnVsYourMom]

I would give both my legs to be able to play like you! Master of the Bass!.... I have been following your lessons online and soon to buy your book! Keep it up... you have really inspired me to become a better player!

[Writahman]

The reason you have 20K subscribers friend is because of the quality of work and teaching that you do. Not everyone has the ability to take complicated licks and lines and simplify them so that even a novice can understand and pick up. Like I mentioned I come from piano so bass is a new venture for me. So I thank you sire! Big favor....can you teach "Crush" by Richard Elliot? It's a jazz tune I'm trying to learn. Only if you could. Thanks again sire.

[TwoSevenElevenEighty]

Beautiful, soothing music.

Could listen to this all day.

[Danielblco0]

Men your improv really touch me, I will practice every day to one day be at least half as good as you are, I have only 3 weeks playing the bass but I have a few songs and soon I start uploading videos of my covers. I hope people like you I can advise and help. Keep doing videos, like me there are many more people that you've inspired.

I hope my English is understandable!! hahaha xD

Congratulations from Venezuela !!! :D

[Dmanlamius76]

@Danielblco0 Thanks man! And I can understand your English very well :)

[TheMOBBassist]

Wow! Just awesome!

[killswitchnotengage]

im proud to say i learned most of my stuff off watching these videos. such a great teacher.

[grimmy24]

You can see just how enthusiastic you are about your music. Every time you hit something that sounds really cool ( like at 1:38 ) you get this look on your face, like "Wow! I didn't know that would happen!"

And everyone else gets that look too.

[jamajka51]

[AnneliesVf]

can you please learn this song !

[dnaisinmybody]

Only a bassist knows the greatness of a bass guitar. Even as a guitarist, I used to think it was a compensation for not being able to play a normal guitar.

I'm a bassist, it's only been a month, I've finally found my instrument of choice and there ain't no coming back baby!

[planettnicci1]

PART2 he is so well received and perhaps this plays a small part in the mysterious black cow incident???

[Dmanlamius76]

@planettnicci1 Ha Ha! Someone actually watches my blog videos! :D

[planettnicci1]

PART1 Brilliant! I just cannot say enough good things about ginger boy Rodgers! Not only has he generously contributed above and beyond to the bass community he has been a tremendous influence and inspiration for many of us. With his quirky wit, playful personality, and English charm his blogs are sure to give you a chuckle or put a smile on your face especially if you're having an off day. It's easy to see why

[webmasterhelpguide]

Do you have a tutorial to play this? I don't care if its premium ill buy it!

[vitamincity]

Man, you could release an entire album of nothing but bass! It's beautiful!

[ManiacLobster97]

the best online teacher and one of the best in general we feel honured to have this dedicated to us!

[Dmanlamius76]

@ManiacLobster97 Very kind, thank you!

[Jollyballz5000]

I thought I was actually decent at bass until I saw this guy. Musicwise, I'd be lucky to be this dude's turds. Thx for all the lessons (:

[MrLoloRamon]

I extremely new to playing an guitars of any kind but I gravitated to the bass so decided to look bass riffs and you are keeping it simple and awesome so jerks like me can catch on ... Just forced me to subscribe I hope you feel better about yourself just putting out what people are looking and helping them do what they love! Jerk ... ^_^v

[lolwtfrofl100]

please do a lesson on something like this

[gerardomcr]

omg ur the best, bro

cheers from peru ...D:

[chicagokid82]

You know, it's the weirdest thing. I recorded a song called "Black Yard" a couple years ago has a very similar production to this. It uses some similar techniques (the fingerstyle picking, but not the tapping), and it has a very similar echo effect. Even the bass sound is pretty similar. Great minds think alike, I guess? Rock on. Look on CDBaby for the band "Trial Run," the album "The Rooftop Garage," and the song "Black Yard." You'll see what I mean.

[mellomet]

you are the best thank you

[tittiboi17]

The Best Bassist out there...hands down! Awesome video...thanks DMan!

[hydro936]

yeah really man, I bought my first bass like two or three years ago now and it was YOU! that inspired me to take the leap. thanks dman, you da man

[ubertasticmagic]

No, sir. Thank YOU!

[UltimateGamer181]

[giggs102]

[minimal1975]

without your vids, i'd be well and truly scuppered!!!!! :) you've taught me tonnes!!!!!! there is loads of stuff out there for lead guitarists, but nothing quite as expansive overall as your stuff for bassists on here :) THANKYOU so very very much for taking the time to make the videos, when, lets face it, there are other things you could be doing/could have been doing all those times, so thank you :)

[djyips10]

Awesome man, beats Sleep, Melody sleep :D

[AlexCapras77]

[marcel21covers]

Cool piece...

[Kibbey12345]

Thank you so much!

[elaisaful]

...I love you!!!!

[drakebloedje]

You taught me a lot and the best thing for me are the stretch exercises which helped prevent CT for both piano and bass! I'm eternally grateful for that, because I had one bad year and now I will never have to relive that year again :-)

[MrTheAngelofDeath666]

This was a beautiful piece. Could you teach it to us?

[1vasey]

you dman funk us and funk you. you are awsome

[mdotn9]

Dude I just wish I had 1/1000th of your talent. Thank you for what you have taught me!!

[ohb54]

It's due to your generosity and charisma that I was inspired to pick up a bass guitar and apply myself. If it weren't for you i'd still be a dreamer and not a doer. You're a teacher, and a role model. Thank you.

[giggs102]

your welcome. :)

[pikachize]

Beautiful.

[RealProdutions]
